Fig. 2. Adjusted average predicted risks with 95% CIs and individual predicted risk bounds of the composite maternal outcome (A) and neonatal intensive care unit admission (B) by increasing distance to delivery hospital.

Dr. Sarah Minion, Dr. Elizabeth Krans, and Dr. Dara Mendez found in a recent study that longer driving distance to the delivery hospital was associated with greater risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in Pennsylvania.
