Antepartum Emergency Department Use and Associations with Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes in a Large Hospital System.

Objectives: Prenatal care in the United States has remained unchanged for decades, with pregnant patients often experiencing high rates of hospital emergency department (ED) visits.
