Methods Using from 2016–2021 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System ( N = 116,170), we employed Bayesian structural time‐series approach deviations utilisation outcomes predicted trends following onset March 2020, adjusting for covariates. Results The associated with delayed prenatal care initiation (1.1%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.2, 2.0), reduced (−2.8%, CI −3.6, −1.7), postpartum visits (−1.0%, −1.5, −0.4), increased gestational hypertension (11.1%, 5.4, 16.7), diabetes mellitus (GDM), (17.6%, 10.1, 26.2), depression (7.3%, 1.9, 13.0).
