Premature births declined by 0.1% in 2020, according to a new report.
The 2021 Report Card – which includes several new measurements – found that, for the first time in six years, preterm births declined slightly to 10.1% from 10.2%, with the U.S. keeping its grade of "C-."
However, rates increased for Black and American Indian/Alaska Native women, and maternal deaths and women suffering from severe health complications due to pregnancy are continuing to rise.
