Patients were allowed only one support person, SARS-CoV-2 tested on admission, and required to mask during hospitalization. Staff were required to wear masks and eye shields, gloves for all patient care, and gowns for care with SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. This study determined if the risk of endometritis\/intra-amniotic infection (IAI) changed under the new pandemic precautions.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Study Design\u2003A single-center, historical cohort study via electronic medical record review compared singleton deliveries among patients who labored during the \u201cpandemic period\u201d (from March 1 through May 31, 2020) with those who labored during the \u201cprepandemic period\u201d (March 1 through May 31, 2019) to determine if the risk of endometritis\/IAI differed. The analysis was done using logistic regression with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to adjust for possible differences in obstetric practice and patient population between the two periods.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Four percent (53\/1,318) of patients in the pandemic period and 5.1% (82\/1,596) of patients in the prepandemic period were diagnosed with endometritis\/IAI (p\u2009=\u20090.15). Compared with patients who delivered in the prepandemic period, those who delivered during the pandemic period had a higher body mass index at delivery (median: 28.36 [interquartile range, IQR: 25.70, 32.07] vs. 28.00 [IQR: 25.23, 31.50], p\u2009=\u20090.01) and experienced fewer digital exams (median: 4 [range: 1, 10] vs. 4 (range: 1, 19], p\u2009=\u20090.004), a practice not included in the SARS-CoV-2 prevention strategy. In multivariable logistic regression with IPTW adjusting for risk factors for endometritis\/IAI, period of delivery was not associated with endometritis\/IAI (odds ratio\u2009=\u20090.76, 95%
