CI, confidence interval; DHAP/RTI, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention/Research Triangle Institute; L&D, labor and delivery.
The following characteristics were evaluated in bivariate analyses: age (<20 years vs ≥20 years old), race (white, black, other), Hispanic ethnicity, adequacy of prenatal care (Institute of Medicine/Kessner index9: prenatal care starting in first or second trimester vs later onset of prenatal care), labor and delivery payment (Medicaid, private insurance, other), and (for Birthnet data) illicit drug use. If a characteristic did not reach a P < .15 in adjusted analysis, it is not presented.
