We identified risk factors for pregnancy-associated homicide (women who died as a result of homicide during or within 1 year of pregnancy) in the United States from 1991 to 1999.
Pregnancy-associated homicides were analyzed with data from the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Six hundred seventeen (8.4%) homicide deaths were reported to the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System. The pregnancy-associated homicide ratio was 1.7 per 100000 live births. Risk factors included age younger than 20 years, Black race, and late or no prenatal care. Firearms were the leading mechanism for homicide (56.6%).
Homicide is a leading cause of pregnancy-associated injury deaths.
我们确定了1991年至1999年美国与妊娠相关的杀人案(在孕期或产后1年内因他杀死亡的女性)的风险因素。
利用疾病控制与预防中心的妊娠死亡监测系统的数据对与妊娠相关的杀人案进行分析。
妊娠死亡监测系统报告了617例(8.4%)他杀死亡案例。与妊娠相关的杀人案发生率为每10万例活产中有1.7例。风险因素包括年龄小于20岁、黑人种族以及产前护理延迟或未接受产前护理。枪支是杀人的主要手段(56.6%)。
他杀是与妊娠相关的伤害死亡的主要原因。
