This study examined whether incarceration during pregnancy is associated with infant birthweight.
Multivariable analyses compared infant birthweight outcomes among three groups of women: 168 women incarcerated during pregnancy, 630 women incarcerated at a time other than during pregnancy, and 3910 women never incarcerated.
After confounders were controlled for, infant birthweights among women incarcerated during pregnancy were not significantly different from women never incarcerated; however, infant birthweights were significantly worse among women incarcerated at a time other than during pregnancy than among never-incarcerated women and women incarcerated during pregnancy.
Certain aspects of the prison environment (shelter, food, etc.) may be health-promoting for high-risk pregnant women.
本研究探讨孕期监禁是否与婴儿出生体重相关。
多变量分析比较了三组女性的婴儿出生体重结果：168名孕期被监禁的女性、630名非孕期被监禁的女性和3910名从未被监禁的女性。
在控制混杂因素后，孕期被监禁女性的婴儿出生体重与从未被监禁女性的婴儿出生体重无显著差异；然而，非孕期被监禁女性的婴儿出生体重明显低于从未被监禁女性和孕期被监禁女性。
监狱环境的某些方面（住所、食物等）可能对高危孕妇的健康有促进作用。
