Article Synopsis
- Preterm birth and small for gestational age (SGA) are significant health issues in the U.S., emphasizing the need for better prenatal care assessments, leading to the development of the Comprehensive Prenatal Care Index (CPCI).
- This study analyzed data from over 139,000 pregnant women using the CPCI and found it to be a reliable measure of prenatal care quality, associating higher CPCI scores with reduced risks of adverse birth outcomes like preterm birth and SGA.
- Results indicate that comprehensive prenatal care, as evaluated by the CPCI, is particularly effective in lowering risks for non-Hispanic White, Hispanic, and Asian women, highlighting its potential to address disparities in maternal health across racial and ethnic groups.

Cross-sectional survey data were collected from April to June 2021.
