Changes in perinatal cocaine use in an inner-city hospital, 1988 to 1992
Temporal trends in perinatal drug use among parturients at an inner-city hospital were assessed in a cohort study of 1300 parturients in 1991 through 1992 and 1111 parturients in 1988 through 1989. Toxicology results were coupled to data sheets containing demographic and obstetrical information. A decrease was noted between 1988 and 1992 in the prevalence of cocaine metabolites, independent of the utilization of prenatal services. An increase in …
A cohort study of the impact of perinatal drug use on prematurity in an inner-city population
Perinatal illicit drug use was determined by anonymously testing the urine of 1111 inner-city parturients. Fourteen percent tested positive, 11.5% for cocaine. As determined by self-report or by positive test results, 17% used drugs. Twenty-eight percent of low birthweights and 20% of premature births in this group were attributable to drug use. Risk of prematurity was reduced by a factor of 2 to 3 with adequate prenatal care. These data suggest …
