WA-CPC 240 cases of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant patients aged ≥18 y in Washington State at 35 hospitals and clinics March 1, 2020, to June 30, 2020 Demographic and clinical data retrospectively abstracted from medical records
  • Estimating the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate in pregnancy at collaborating study sites

  • Describing the distribution of race and ethnicity and language used for medical encounters among pregnant patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection

WA-CPC sites capture ∼61% of annual deliveries in Washington State N/A
WA-DOH: SARS-CoV-2 case counts in pregnancy 346 cases of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant patients aged 18–50 y across Washington State March 1, 2020, to June 30, 2020 Number of cases by ACH region
  • To compare the number of cases identified at WA-CPC sites at the ACH region and state level

Individual-level data on each case was not publicly available N/A
Pregnancy status was ascertained through case interviews and by local health department investigation
  • To estimate and compare state SARS-CoV-2 pregnancy rates with the WA-CPC estimates

35% of SARS-CoV-2 case records among females aged 18–50 y contained unknown or missing pregnancy status
Data (case counts) acquired through written communication with the WA-DOH (Hanna Oltean, MPH)
WA-DOH birth data dashboard tool: Birth Certificate Data 2018 Data on live births in Washington State in 2018 at ACH regional and state levels; all maternal ages included 2018 Number of live births, maternal race and ethnicity distribution
  • To calculate the proportion of annual state deliveries covered by the WA-CPC sites

  • To compare the race and ethnicity distribution of those who delivered (live births) in 2018 vs the race and ethnicity distribution of cases of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy at WA-CPC sites

  • Provided the denominator data to estimate the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate in pregnancy for the WA-DOH’s reported number of SARS-CoV-2 cases in pregnancy during the study period (to compare to the WA-CPC estimated infection rates in pregnancy)

Individual-level data on each live birth in 2018 was not publicly available https://www.doh.wa.gov/DataandStatisticalReports/HealthDataVisualization/BirthDashboards/AllBirthsACH
Accessed Aug. 21, 2020

  • To estimate the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate (numerator) among patients aged 20–39 y in Washington State at the ACH region and state levels to compare the infection rates in pregnancy

Data were available by age or gender, not both https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/COVID19/DataDashboard

WA-DOH: ACH social determinants of health dashboard Percentage of Washington State individuals aged >5 y with limited English language proficiency (those who speak English “less than very well”) 2014–2017 Proportion of individuals by ACH region and statewide with limited English language proficiency
  • To compare the proportion of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 who preferred a non-English language in medical encounters with the proportion of individuals with limited English language proficiency in Washington State and by select ACH regions

No count data were available on the WA-DOH website. Only prevalence estimates were available, which limited the ability to generate 95% confidence intervals around comparative point estimates https://www.doh.wa.gov/DataandStatisticalReports/HealthDataVisualization/SocialDeterminantsofHealthDashboards/ACHSocialDeterminantsofHealth
