The primary outcome was SMM and mortality risk by gestational age (20\u201325 weeks vs 26\u201336 weeks vs 37\u201342 weeks). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to assess SMM risk. Secondary outcomes included organ system\u2013based SMM indicators and subgroup analyses by 3-week gestational age intervals (eg, 20\u201322 weeks, 23\u201325 weeks). Population attributable fraction (PAF) estimates were calculated to determine the proportion of SMM due to periviable and preterm birth.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among an estimated 22,208,488 weighted births, 0.6% were periviable (20\u201325 weeks), 9.4% were preterm (26\u201336 weeks), and 90.0% were term (37\u201342 weeks). Severe maternal morbidity and mortality rates were highest in individuals with periviable births (4.5%, adjusted relative risk [aRR] 6.8 95% CI, 6.4\u20137.3, 98\/100,000 delivery hospitalizations; and aRR 26.4, 95% CI, 16.7\u201341.9, respectively) and preterm births (2.9%, aRR 3.6, 95% CI, 3.5\u20133.7, 31\/100,000 delivery hospitalizations; and aRR 8.7, 95% CI, 6.4\u201311.7, respectively) compared with term births (0.5%, 3\/100,000 delivery hospitalizations). The elevated risk for SMM remained when limited to spontaneous live births in individuals without chronic comorbidities associated with iatrogenic preterm delivery (periviable: aRR 3.8, 95% CI, 3.3\u20134.5; preterm: aRR 1.8, 95% CI, 1.7\u20132.0). Individuals with periviable births had the highest risk of cardiovascular, renal, respiratory, sepsis, shock, and hemorrhagic SMM events, and those with preterm births had the highest risk of eclampsia. The PAF for SMM and maternal death was highest in individuals with preterm births (26.3%, 95% CI, 25.6\u201327.1; and 48.1%, 95% CI, 39.9\u201355.2, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n
