A Survey of Labor and Delivery Practices in New York City during the COVID-19 Pandemic	2020-06-09		.txt	text/plain	2888	170	54	We therefore developed an internet-based survey to elucidate the practices put into place to guide the care of obstetrical patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that all sites made changes to their practices, and that there appeared to be agreement with screening and testing for COVID-19, as well as labor and delivery protocols, for SARS-CoV-2-positive patients. One center performed SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing for all support persons either on admission to labor and delivery (L&D), or 24 to 48 hours prior to a scheduled admission. For half of the sites, after 34 weeks, the risks of continued expectant management of a patient with COVID-19 seemed to outweigh the risks of prematurity, and these centers would forgo testing and recommend delivery. Here we report on the obstetrical practices and protocols from four academic medical centers in NYC at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-267815-4fw7xgnt.txt	./txt/cord-267815-4fw7xgnt.txt
