Abbreviations: aOR, adjusted odds ratio; NA, not applicable; OR, odds ratio.

a

Adjusted for site and center, year of birth, race and ethnicity, diabetes, chronic hypertension or gestational hypertension, heart disease, renal disease, depression, anemia, and body mass index on admission for birth.

b

Reference group: interprofessional group, which includes centers with midwifery presence. Non-interprofessional group includes centers without midwifery presence.
