However, using readmissions (which occurs in only 1%–2% women) is problematic as it fails to include women with assessed office or emergency department (ED). We utilized data from a cohort evaluated an ED setting better characterize experienced by period. Materials Methods: performed retrospective analysis all visits at tertiary care women's over 6 months. described...
