Description
Summary:We sought to evaluate and describe the maternal and obstetric morbidity associated with Listeria infection in pregnancy. Retrospective cohort of pregnant women using the 2007-2018 National Inpatient Sample. Pregnant women with discharge diagnosis codes consistent with Listeria infection were identified. Outcomes of deliveries complicated by Listeria infection were compared to those of delivery without this infection. The primary outcome was a composite of severe maternal morbidity. Secondary outcomes included components of the composite, maternal length of stay, mode of delivery, stillbirth, and preterm delivery. We identified 134 maternity associated hospitalizations for Listeria (weighted national estimate 666), of which 72 (weighted national estimate of 358) were delivery admissions. Delivery admissions complicated by Listeria resulted in higher rates of severe maternal morbidity than those without, (30.9% vs. 1.6%, p
