aUtilization was defined as adequate if the patient received 16 or more points/21 possible point (~ 75%)
bP-value calculated using chi-square test
cAdjusted for maternal characteristics of: race, age, insurance type, education, prior termination, tobacco use in pregnancy, substance use in pregnancy, depression in pregnancy, STI in pregnancy, and gestational age at presentation to prenatal care
dA sub-analysis was performed by removing two variables (“% of recommended prenatal visits received” and “first appointment by 12 weeks”) from the scoring system for a maximum score of 15
