Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Nulliparous vs. Multiparous Women.
Summary of "Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Nulliparous vs. Multiparous Women."
Previous studies indicate that nulliparous women (i.e., women having no previous births) are at higher risk for adverse birth outcomes than multiparous women (i.e., women having had at least one previous birth). We examined whether part of the difference in adverse outcome rates is attributable to nulliparous women with poor pregnancy outcomes being less likely (through choice or fecundity differences) to have a subsequent live birth within the same time period as nulliparous women without adverse outcomes.
