Subjects were included if they delivered a nonanomalous live singleton gestation in a hospital. To minimize inaccurate dating, subjects were excluded for birthweight\u2009&gt;\u200997% for gestational age. The composite morbidity outcome was defined as parental blood transfusion, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, or unplanned hysterectomy. We assessed this outcome's relationship to parental demographic and clinical characteristics, including the receipt of selected antenatal interventions, including antenatal corticosteroids, antibiotics, and cesarean delivery. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between antenatal intervention and parental morbidity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Of 45,339,472 births during the study period, 93,686 met the inclusion criteria for this study. A total of 2,726 (3.1%) parents experienced parental morbidity. The rate of perinatal morbidity increased over the study period. Black parents were less likely to experience morbidity compared to non-Black parents (2.7 vs. 3.4%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Parents who received antenatal steroids or antibiotics and those undergoing cesarean delivery had higher rates of morbidity compared to their counterparts who did not receive these interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Birthing parents who received steroids or antibiotics prior to periviable delivery and those undergoing cesarean delivery were more likely to experience parental morbidity of transfusion, hysterectomy, or ICU admission. The relationship of these interventions, intended to improve neonatal outcomes or prolong pregnancy, to parental morbidity should be incorporated into the nuanced counseling required for parents at risk of periviable deliveries. Additional research is warranted to understand the institutional, provider, and patient factors underlying these findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Key Points\u2003<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2849-7869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]],"date-time":"2026-04-14T23:04:18Z","timestamp":1776207858000},"page":"1942-1946","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association of Active Antenatal Management in the Periviable Period and Parental Morbidity in the United States"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Katelyn","family":"Edel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Whitney","family":"Bender","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]]},"reference":[{"issue":"04","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"B2","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2024.07.016","article-title":"Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Consult Series #71: management of previable and periviable preterm prelabor rupture of membranes","volume":"231","author":"A N Battarbee","year":"2024","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"926","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000002347","article-title":"Obstetric care consensus no. 6 summary: periviable birth","volume":"130","year":"2017","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"ref3","volume-title":"2003 revisions of the U.S. standard certificates of live birth","author":"National Center for Health Statistics","year":"2003"},{"key":"ref4","volume-title":"Guide to Completing the Facility Worksheets for the Certificate of Live Birth and Report of Fetal Death (2003 Revision)","author":"National Center for Health Statistics"},{"issue":"16","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1789","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1740062","article-title":"Association of antenatal corticosteroid exposure and infant survival at 22 and 23 weeks","volume":"40","author":"R M Rossi","year":"2023","journal-title":"Am J Perinatol"},{"issue":"12","key":"ref6","first-page":"CD004454","article-title":"Antenatal corticosteroids for accelerating fetal lung maturation for women at risk of preterm birth","volume":"12","author":"E McGoldrick","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101916","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eclinm.2023.101916","article-title":"Effect of antenatal corticosteroid administration-to-birth interval on maternal and newborn outcomes: a systematic review","volume":"58","author":"A RA McDougall","year":"2023","journal-title":"EClinicalMedicine"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"326","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cmi.2018.05.016","article-title":"Impact of antibiotic administration on blood culture positivity at the beginning of sepsis: a prospective clinical cohort study","volume":"25","author":"C S Scheer","year":"2019","journal-title":"Clin Microbiol Infect"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1029","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e31826d60c5","article-title":"Severe maternal morbidity among delivery and postpartum hospitalizations in the United States","volume":"120","author":"W M Callaghan","year":"2012","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"}],"container-title":["American Journal of Perinatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/a-2849-7869.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]],"date-time":"2026-10-01T23:06:47Z","timestamp":1790896007000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/a-2849-7869"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"14","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/a-2849-7869","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0735-1631","1098-8785"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0735-1631","type":"print"},{"value":"1098-8785","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]]}}}
