Abstract
This population-based retrospective cohort study examines the prevalence of hospital utilization during pregnancy and the primary reason for antenatal hospital utilization among women with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Massachusetts residents with in-state deliveries that were ≥ 20 weeks gestational age were included via data from the 2002-2009 Massachusetts Pregnancy to Early Life Longitudinal Data System. Among women with IDD, 54.8% had at least one emergency department (ED) visit during pregnancy, compared to 23% of women without IDD. Women with IDD were more likely to have an antenatal ED visit, observational stays, and non-delivery hospital stays. This study highlights the need for further understanding of the health care needs of women with IDD during pregnancy.Entities:
