Conclusion
In summary, in our large cohort of women admitted for labor and delivery in Massachusetts undergoing universal SARS-CoV-2 infection screening, there were multiple identifiable factors associated with infection. Almost all patients who tested positive for infection had one or more identifiable factors associated with disease. SARS-CoV-2 infection most heavily affected pregnant women who were younger, African American or Hispanic, non-healthcare essential workers, publicly insured, or from heavily affected areas, underscoring another source of disparity in obstetrics.
