Course: Comparison of Sexually Transmitted Infections and Adverse Perinatal Outcomes in Underserved Pregnant Patients Before vs During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Texas

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2022-02-15

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the US experienced record high rates of many reportable sexually transmitted infections (STI). The association between the pandemic and STI rates among pregnant women remains understudied, especially for underserved populations of racial and ethnic minority groups who have disproportionately experienced COVID-19 infection. We sought to determine rates of STI and associated adverse perinatal outcomes among underserved pregnant patients before (July 2019 to February 2020) and during the pandemic (March 2020 to April 2021) in a public health system in Southeastern Texas.
