TL;DR
During the 1980s, increasing risks in subgroups of women drove the increase in the crude rate of no prenatal care, and despite decreases in the risks of no care in the early 1990s, increase percentages of births to women with high demographic risk for no care prevanted a decrease in the raw rate to the 1980 level.
Abstract
During the 1980s, increasing risks in subgroups of women drove the increase in the crude rate of no prenatal care. Despite decreases in the risks of no care in the early 1990s, increasing percentages of births to women with high demographic risk for no care prevented a decrease in the crude rate to the 1980 level.

The effects of financial coverage, education, race, age, and marital status on the start of prenatal care was studied in this analysis of 85,000 live births that occurred in New York City in 1981 and found that Hispanics, blacks, and teenagers who experienced greater odds of incomplete education and Medicaid insurance experienced greater chances of late or no prenatal care.

Whether sentinel health events--negative health states, such as death, disability, and disease, that might have been avoided given current medical and public health knowledge and technology--can be used as sociomedical indicators to assess levels of unmet needs and to evaluate health system performance is explored.
