1

P-values were based on two –sample t-tests for continuous variables; Chi-square tests or Fisher’s exact tests for categorical variables.

2

Models adjusted for race/ethnicity, age group, payer, rural vs. urban hospital location, high-risk pregnancy, and multiple gestation.

3

Number of observations <10 (too small to report due to data privacy rules).

4

Not enough observations (<10) to run multivariable models.
