Study finds similar outcomes for in-person prenatal care or a combination of virtual and in-office visits

Pregnant patients who received some of their prenatal care during the COVID-19 pandemic in a combination of virtual and in-office visits—known as multimodal prenatal care—had similar health outcomes as those who were seen mostly in person before the pandemic, according to a large new study of more than 151,000 births from the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research.
