Changes in pregnancy outcomes over time. Scatter plots show (A) extended perinatal mortality rate including stillbirth and neonatal death, (B) rates of preterm birth at < 37 and < 34 weeks, (C) birth weight adjusted for gestation using z-score, and (D) caesarean section rate by month of birth between January 2016 and January 2021. Dotted lines are simple linear regressions of the presented data points, and the vertical dashed lines represent the start of the COVID era on 17 February 2020.
