The study aimed to assess the effect of inter pregnancy interval on preterm birth in Northern Ethiopia: prospective cohort study.
This study showed that, total incidence of premature birth was 10.4%. Among mothers with short inter pregnancy interval the incidence of preterm birth was 39 (25.9%).Whereas, among mothers who had recommended inter pregnancy interval was 9 (2.9%). Short inter-pregnancy interval [adjusted hazard ratio (AHR): 6.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.07-15.31], antenatal care (ANC) visit 1-3 times (AHR: 2.24, 95% CI 1.04-4.85), complication during pregnancy (AHR: 3.16, 95% CI 1.58-6.33) and birth defect (AHR: 8.01, 95% CI 2.56-25.07) were predictors of premature birth.
本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚北部妊娠间隔对早产的影响:前瞻性队列研究。
本研究表明,早产总发生率为10.4%。妊娠间隔短的母亲中早产发生率为39例(25.9%)。而妊娠间隔符合推荐标准的母亲中早产发生率为9例(2.9%)。妊娠间隔短[调整后风险比(AHR):6.85,95%置信区间(CI)3.07 - 15.31]、产前检查(ANC)就诊1 - 3次(AHR:2.24,95% CI 1.04 - 4.85)、孕期并发症(AHR:3.16,95% CI 1.58 - 6.33)和出生缺陷(AHR:8.01,95% CI 2.56 - 25.07)是早产的预测因素。
