Objectives:To describe the incidence of and characteristics associated with postpartum emergency department (ED) visits and hospital readmissions among high-risk, low-income, predominantly Black and Latina women in New York City (NYC).Methods:We conducted a secondary analysis of detailed survey and medical chart data from an intervention to improve timely postpartum visits among Medicaid-insured, high-risk women in NYC from 2015 to 2016. Among 380 women who completed surveys at baseline (bedside postpartum) and 3 weeks after delivery, we examined the incidence of having an ED visit or readmission within 3 weeks postpartum. We used logistic regression to examine unadjusted and adjusted associations between patient demographic, clinical, and psychosocial characteristics and the odds of postpartum hospital use.Results:In total, 12.8% (n= 48) of women reported an ED visit or readmission within 3 weeks postpartum. Unadjusted odds of postpartum hospital use were higher among women who self-identified as Black versus Latina, U.S. born versus foreign born, and English versus Spanish speaking. Clinical and psychosocial characteristics associated with increased unadjusted odds of postpartum hospital use included cesarean delivery, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and positive depression or anxiety screen, and we found preliminary evidence of decreased hospital use among women breastfeeding at three weeks postpartum. The odds of seeking postpartum hospital care remained roughly 2.5 times higher among women with hypertension or depression/anxiety in adjusted analyses.Conclusions:We identified characteristics associated with ED visits and hospital readmissions among a high-risk subset of postpartum women in NYC. These characteristics, including depressive symptoms and hypertension, suggest women who may benefit from additional postpartum support to prevent maternal complications and reduce health disparities.
