541: Women with prior preterm birth and infant death are at risk for short interpregnancy intervals

1
CONCLUSIONS: A short interpregnancy interval is an independent risk factor for all infant mortality, demonstrating that risks of short IPIs persist beyond the perinatal and neonatal periods. Counseling about these adverse risks should be a routine part of all obstetrical care.

Allison Bryant 1 , Erin Madden 2 1 Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, 2 NCIRE, San Francisco, CA OBJECTIVE: It is known that short interpregnancy intervals (IPIs) are associated with infant mortality. We sought to explore whether ma- ternal characteristics modify the risk. STUDY DESIGN: We used data from vital statistics records for all births in California between 1999-2004, linked with hospital discharge data. For women with a first birth in 1999-2000 and a second birth by the end of 2004, multivariable modeling was used to determine the asso- ciation between short IPIs and infant death. Interaction terms be- tween short IPI and maternal race/ethnicity, prior preterm birth, prior fetal death and prior infant death were created and tested for statistically meaningful effect modification (p0.10). RESULTS: 191,081 women met entry criteria. After adjustment for ma- ternal sociodemographic and clinical variables, there was a significant interaction (p 0.04) between the effect of prior preterm birth and IPI 6m on subsequent pregnancy outcome. Women with an IPI 6m and a previous preterm birth had an AOR of a second birth 28 weeks of 2.4 [1.6, 3.5], greater than among women with an IPI 6m but without a prior preterm birth (AOR 1.4 [1.0, 1.9]). The risk of infant death after the second pregnancy was 0.4%. After adjustment, an IPI 6m was significantly associated with the risk of infant death. This association persisted even after adjustment for prematurity in the second pregnancy. There was also an interaction (p 0.09) between the effects of a short IPI and prior preterm birth: the AOR for infant death for women with an IPI 6m and a prior preterm birth was 2.3 [1.4, 3.7], while it was 1.4 [1.1, 1.9] for women with an IPI 6m and no prior preterm birth. There were no other significant interactions. CONCLUSIONS: A short IPI is an independent risk factor for infant mor- tality, even after adjustment for gestational age in the subsequent birth. Women with a history of preterm birth are at additional in- creased risk of infant death when the interpregnancy interval is short. Particular care should be taken to counsel women with poor obstet- rical histories when it comes to birth spacing. 541 Women with prior preterm birth and infant death are at risk for short interpregnancy intervals Allison Bryant 1 , Erin Madden 2 1 Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, 2 NCIRE, San Francisco, CA OBJECTIVE: We have previously shown that women with a preterm birth in their first pregnancy, particularly a birth 28 weeks gestation, are at increased risk of having another pregnancy within 6 months of the first delivery. We sought to explore possible explanations and modifiers of this risk. STUDY DESIGN: Data from vital statistics records for all births in Cali- fornia between 1999 and 2004 were linked with hospital discharge data. For women with a first birth in 1999-2000, multivariable mod- eling was used to determine risk factors for short birth-to-conception intervals, with an emphasis on the explanatory role of neonatal and postneonatal death. RESULTS: Of 367,710 women with first births in CA in 1999-2000, 0.9% had an interpregnancy interval (IPI) 3 months, 3.3% 6 months and 10.8% 12 months. In multivariable analyses adjusted for maternal demographic, social and clinical factors, women with preterm deliveries in the first pregnancy were more likely to have short IPIs (e.g. AOR for IPI 6 months 1.72 (95% CI [1.39, 2.1]) for women with first birth 28 weeks). This risk was completely atten- uated when neonatal and postneonatal infant mortality were ac- counted for in the model (AOR for IPI 6 months 5.3 [4.4, 6.5] and 2.9 [2.1, 4.0] for infant death 30d and 31-365d, respectively). Fetal death in the first pregnancy was also highly predictive (AOR 6.7 [5.3, 8.6]) of very short IPI. CONCLUSIONS: Women with preterm birth are at higher risk of inade- quate interpregnancy intervals; this risk appears explained by the oc- currence of an infant death. Women with fetal death or preterm births and subsequent infant death may be understandably eager to conceive again soon, but are also at high risk for recurrent adverse outcomes, especially in the setting of short interpregnancy intervals, perhaps due to biological mediators. Such women should be well counseled about these risks, and advised to wait at least 6-12 months prior to attempt- ing a next pregnancy.

STUDY DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional self-administered survey of women at least six months postpartum who received prenatal care and delivered at a single institution. Information on method and duration of feeding were obtained in addition to maternal weight at three and six months. Student’s t-test was used to compare rates of weight loss. RESULTS: Women who exclusively breastfed for any amount of time lost more weight at three and six months than their counterparts who fed by breast and bottle or bottle alone (Table). The median duration of breastfeeding was 8 months. Women who breastfed exclusively for at least 8 months had mean weight loss of 30.3lbs versus 26.3lbs for women who fed with breast and bottle (p0.015).

STUDY DESIGN: We used data from vital statistics records for all birthsn California between 1999-2004, linked with hospital discharge data.or women with a first birth in 1999-2000 and a second birth by thend of 2004, multivariable modeling was used to determine the asso-iation between short IPIs and infant death. Interaction terms be-ween short IPI and maternal race/ethnicity, prior preterm birth,rior fetal death and prior infant death were created and tested fortatistically meaningful effect modification (p�0.10).

RESULTS: 191,081 women met entry criteria. After adjustment for ma-ernal sociodemographic and clinical variables, there was a significantnteraction (p � 0.04) between the effect of prior preterm birth andPI �6m on subsequent pregnancy outcome. Women with an IPI

6m and a previous preterm birth had an AOR of a second birth �28eeks of 2.4 [1.6, 3.5], greater than among women with an IPI �6mut without a prior preterm birth (AOR 1.4 [1.0, 1.9]). The risk of

nfant death after the second pregnancy was 0.4%. After adjustment,n IPI �6m was significantly associated with the risk of infant death.

This association persisted even after adjustment for prematurity in thesecond pregnancy. There was also an interaction (p � 0.09) betweenthe effects of a short IPI and prior preterm birth: the AOR for infantdeath for women with an IPI � 6m and a prior preterm birth was 2.3[1.4, 3.7], while it was 1.4 [1.1, 1.9] for women with an IPI �6m andno prior preterm birth. There were no other significant interactions.CONCLUSIONS: A short IPI is an independent risk factor for infant mor-ality, even after adjustment for gestational age in the subsequentirth. Women with a history of preterm birth are at additional in-reased risk of infant death when the interpregnancy interval is short.articular care should be taken to counsel women with poor obstet-ical histories when it comes to birth spacing.
