Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center analyzed data from the Epic Cosmos database spanning 2013–2024, finding azithromycin use in cesarean deliveries rose from 2.2% to 39.6%, while postpartum infection rates within 6 weeks fell from 9.2% to 8%—a 20% relative reduction. This translates to potentially preventing 6,000 infections annually.

“Given that more than 300,000 individuals have an unscheduled cesarean delivery annually, a 20% reduction, if due to the use of azithromycin, would still represent a meaningful improvement in postpartum outcomes, potentially preventing 6,000 infections each year.”
