• Description:
  OBJECTIVE: ; We investigated maternal COVID-19 related experiences during delivery hospitalizations, and whether experiences differed by maternal race and ethnicity. ; STUDY DESIGN: ; Data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System among women with live births between April–December 2020 were used. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) estimated associations between maternal race and ethnicity and COVID-19 related delivery experiences. ; RESULTS: ; Among 12,879 women, 3.6% reported infant separation and 1.8% reported not being allowed support persons. Compared with non-Hispanic White women, American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) (aPR = 2.7; CI: 1.2–6.2), Hispanic (aPR = 2.2; CI: 1.5–3.1), non-Hispanic Black (aPR = 2.4; CI: 1.7–3.6), and non-Hispanic Asian (aPR = 2.8; CI: 1.6–4.9) women reported more infant separation due to COVID-19. Not being allowed support persons was more common among AI/AN (aPR = 5.2; CI: 1.8–14.8) and non-Hispanic Black (aPR = 2.3; CI: 1.3–4.1) women. ; CONCLUSIONS: ; COVID-19 related delivery hospitalization experiences were unequally distributed among racial and ethnic minorities.
