The median hospital length of stay was 11 days (IQR, 6–22 d) for those without delivery versus 18 days (IQR, 8–28 d) for those who delivered during admission. The median duration of mechanical ventilation was 6 days (IQR, 0–13 d) for those without delivery versus 9 days (IQR, 1–14 d) for those who delivered during admission.
