Abstract

The cohort included 2 943 575 women, 226 of whom were diagnosed with LD during pregnancy. The incidence of LD was 7.67 per 100 000 pregnancy admissions. The incidence of gestational LD was stable over the study period. Pregnant patients with LD were more likely white, older, to have private health insurance, and to belong to a higher income quartile. Gestational LD was associated with an increased risk of placental abruption (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.45 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.53-7.80]) and preterm birth (aOR, 1.58 [95% CI, 1.03-2.42]).
