PTSD was associated with a higher prevalence of comorbidity, increased odds of preterm delivery (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.13; 95% CI 1.08\u20131.18), and increased odds of fetal growth restriction (aOR 1.09; 95% CI 1.01\u20131.17, p\u2009=\u20090.03). Longer hospital stays and higher costs were also observed among women with PTSD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings highlight a rising prevalence of PTSD among pregnant women who delivered in hospitals in the United States over the study period. PTSD was associated with higher prevalence of comorbidity, and increased length of stay and hospital cost.
