How to increase value and reduce waste when research priorities are set
Maternal Infection in Pregnancy and Risk of Asthma in Offspring
Birthweight and mortality in adulthood
Use of Health Services by Insurance Status Among Children With Asthma
OBJECTIVES: It is well known that asthmatic children receiving Medicaid use the emergency department (ED) more frequently than otherwise-insured asthmatic children. However, the extent to which this difference is attributable to provider characteristics, medication use, access to primary care, and symptomatology is poorly understood. These factors were explored as independent predictors of health care utilization. METHODS: Baseline data from a pr…
Maternal anthropometric factors and risk of primary cesarean delivery
OBJECTIVES: This study examined absolute and proportional gestational weight gain and prepregnancy body mass index as predictors of primary cesarean delivery. METHODS: Data were derived from a prospective study of pregnancy outcome risk factors in 2301 women in greater New Haven, Conn, who had singleton deliveries by primary cesarean (n = 312) or vaginal delivery (n = 1989) and for whom height, prepregnancy weight, and weight gain were available.…
Reproductive versus chronologic age as a predictor of low birth weight, preterm delivery and intrauterine growth retardation in primiparous women
The effect of reproductive age (chronologic age at conception minus menarcheal age) and chronologic age on the risks of low birth weight, preterm delivery and intrauterine growth retardation were studied in 1198 primiparous women whose pregnancies ended in singleton live births at Yale-New Haven Hospital, 1980-1982. After adjustment for maternal race and other important confounding variables, neither young reproductive age (less than 8 years) nor…
Effect of marijuana use in pregnancy on fetal growth
Spermicidal Contraceptives and Poor Reproductive Outcomes
The first widely publicized report of an association between spermicidal contraception and congenital malformations and spontaneous abortion had considerable impact on obstetric practice. A large number of more recent epidemiologic studies have generally failed to support the earlier finding, and it is concluded that no such association has been demonstrated. The available evidence precludes the need for additional regulation of spermicidal contr…
Menarcheal age and habitual miscarriage
Among women who habitually miscarried (two or more miscarriages) we observed a modest association for increased risk of miscarriage of first pregnancies in those with younger (especially less than or equal to 11 years) and older (greater than or equal to 16 years) menarcheal age (quadratic G2 = 3.49, P = 0.062). No associations of menarcheal age with first pregnancy miscarriage were observed when analysed by age at first pregnancy, or with pregna…
Hospitalization for medical-legal and other abortions in the United States 1970-1977
The National Hospital Discharge Survey records for medical-legal, spontaneous, and "other" abortions (ICDA-8 640-641, 643, and 644 respectively) for 1970-1977 were analyzed to investigate the impact of liberalized access to abortion on abortion-related morbidity in the United States. The analysis suggests that in census regions where an increase in medical-legal abortions performed in hospitals occurred over the study period there was an associat…
Contraceptive practice and repeat induced abortion
The relationship between abortion experience and contraceptive practice is examined among women having a first or repeat induced abortion at the same clinic(n=443 in each group). A previous abortion was the single most important predictor of past contraceptive practices and of contraception at the conception of the pregnancy being terminated. A previous abortion was associated with greater use of all methods of contraception among women not on we…
Coping with pregnancy resolution among never-married women
The Janis-Mann model of decision-making provides the theoretical orientation for empirical analyses of decisions to deliver or abort in matched samples of never-married women. Results focus on four variables: happiness about pregnancy; initial acceptance of delivery or abortion; ease of decision-making; and satisfaction with final choice. Path analyses summarize findings, which are discussed in terms of conflict resolution strategies
Contraception and Pregnancy After Dropping Out of Family Planning Clinics
A random national sample of 299 clinic dropouts from the Jamaica National Family Planning Program were interviewed at least five months beyond their first missed clinic appointment. Correl
Monthly variation in conceptions leading to induced abortion
Abortions performed in upper New York State and in New York City over a six‐year period were examined for monthly variation in conception. Significant differences in the month of conception were observed which correlated strongly with monthly conception indices from previous studies of conception leading to illegitimate and legitimate births. Since, for the most part, aborted pregnancies were unwanted, the current findings support the notion that…
Contraception and pregnancy after dropping out of family planning clinics
Interviews were conducted among a random national sample of 299 clinic dropouts from the Jamaica National Family Planning Program at least 5 months after their 1st missed clinic appointment. The Health Belief Model is used as a framework for discussion of the findings; this model has been recently modified to allow for "compliance" behavior which considers factors associated with continuing medical treatment. The objective is to determine continu…
First and repeat abortions
In a sample of 345 women aborting at a New York clinic, women having a repeat abortion had delayed significantly less in seeking abortion than had women aborting for the first time. Those having a repeat abortion were more likely to anticipate, suspect and acknowledge pregnancy, and to have located the abortion clinic more rapidly, once the decision to have an abortion was made. Psychological reactions to the decision did not differ between women…
