Factors Associated with Ease of Using Community-Based Systems of Care for CSHCN in Hawai’i
Pregnancy outcomes among Whites and Filipinos
Evidence from the Philippines suggests that, compared to Whites, infants born to Filipino women are more likely to be low birth weight. A paucity of information is available regarding birth outcomes of U.S.‐born Filipinos. Using 1979–1987 Hawaii vital record data on single live births to resident mothers, this study compares the maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of White and Filipino mothers, Filipino mothers were significantly more…
Multiethnic variations in the pregnancy outcomes of military dependents
OBJECTIVES. We examined the pregnancy outcomes of three ethnic groups: African-American Blacks, non-Hispanic Whites, and Filipinos. In an attempt to reduce ethnic dissimilarities in parental employment and access to health care, this investigation compared the single-live-birth outcomes of married, adult women who resided in the state of Hawaii and who indicated that their spouse was on active-duty status in the US military. METHODS. The data for…
Maternal nativity status and pregnancy outcome among U.S.‐born Filipinos
Using 1979-87 Hawaii vital record data on single live births, this study compares by nativity status of the mother the maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of resident Filipino women. Among ethnic minorities in the United States, the pregnancy outcomes of U.S.-born mothers have been reported to compare unfavorably to their foreign-born counterparts. In this study, unequivocally preferential pregnancy outcome indicators were not observe…
Variations in Pregnancy Outcomes and Use of Obstetric Procedures in Two Institutions With Divergent Philosophies of Maternity Care
Pregnancy outcomes were compared between a stratified random sample of 796 women delivering a live birth at a maternity center (BMC) and a frequency matched sample of 804 women delivering a live birth at a tertiary hospital (TJUH) in 1977-1978. The relationship of use of obstetric procedures with pregnancy outcomes was investigated within and between the two samples. The neonatal morbidity rate, as measured by Hobel's neonatal risk score, was sig…
The impact of the Mississippi Improved Child Health Project on prenatal care and low birthweight
A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group design was used to evaluate the Improved Child Health Projects in northwest Mississippi (ICHP1 and ICHP2). Control counties were selected for each project that on average were similar to ICHP counties on racial composition, median family income in 1970 and 1980, and number of births in 1978-79. The study population comprised all resident births in the ICHP and control counties during a pre-ICHP pe…
A study of pregnancy outcomes in a maternity center and a tertiary care hospital
This study compares 796 pregnancy outcomes at a maternity center (BMC) with 804 hospital (TJUH) pregnancy outcomes. The samples of pregnant women from the participating institutions were matched on sociodemographic characteristics; analysis of outcomes was performed controlling for medical-obstetric risk. Differences between the institutions were found mainly among women with low intrapartum risk. For these women, neonatal morbidity and length of…
Evaluation of a Measure of Neonatal Morbidity
The neonatal risk score of Hobel et al. was evaluated as a measure of neonatal morbidity in a sample of 1,600 singleton infants born alive at two institutions. The score was evaluated for internal consistency, the appropriateness of weight assigned to factors, criterion validity, and conformity to the negative binomial distribution. The results are encouraging for the use of the score as a measure of neonatal morbidity. It appears internally cons…
