Risk of Severe Maternal Morbidity Associated with Maternal Comorbidity Burden and Social Vulnerability
Conclusion OB-CMI was significantly associated with SMM, with higher score categories associated with higher odds of SMM. A significant interaction between OB-CMI and maternal race and ethnicity was identified, revealing racial disparities in the odds of SMM within each higher OB-CMI score category. SVI was not associated with SMM after adjusting for confounders.
