We found that an alcohol-related diagnosis, although lowest in prevalence of the substance-related diagnoses, had the highest odds of severe maternal morbidity of any substance-related diagnosis assessed in this study. These findings reinforce the need to identify alcohol-related diagnoses in pregnant women early to minimize potential harm through intervention and treatment.
