“…It implies the implication that the birth intervals of mothers would be different over time. The birth intervals of illiterate mothers were shorter than the birth intervals of educated mothers which are in line with a study reported in Dehesh et al 23 that reported that household education level has positive effects on birth intervals of mothers'.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine whether the birth interval changes differently over time among women in Ethiopia and whether the change depends on women, children and household characteristics measured at the last visit.MethodsLongitudinal study design was implemented based on the data obtained from the 2019 Ethiopia Mini Demographic and Health Survey consisting of a total of 3630 mothers. Generalised estimating equation and generalised linear mixed model were employed to estimate the effect of the determinants given the correlation between birth intervals within a mother is under consideration.ResultsThe majority of women were Muslims (48.1%) and come from rural areas (82.2%). About 77.2% of women at first birth were below 20 years old. A significant correlation (p value<0.0001) between the first and second birth intervals of mothers was observed. The estimated birth interval of women from the poorest household was 0.877 (e−0.1317) times the estimated birth intervals of women from the richest household. This indicates richest households were likely to have higher birth intervals as compared with the poorest households (95% CI e−0.1754=0.839 to e−0.088=0.916).ConclusionThe birth intervals of over one-fifth of mothers were 1 year, less than the birth interval recommended by the WHO standard. It was also perceived that successive birth intervals are correlated. Mothers who have delivered female children had lower birth intervals than mothers who have delivered male children. As compared with the birth intervals of mothers from a household with higher economic status, the birth intervals of mothers from a household with lower economic status had lower birth intervals. In this study, significant effects of religion, contraceptive use, region, mothers’ current age, education level and mothers’ current marital status on birth intervals were also noted.

Objective Significant concerns for patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) include hormonal fluctuations and drug safety during pregnancy. The impact of the disease on childbearing in multiparous women remains to be elucidated. We aimed to investigate the clinical course and impacts of multiparity on HAE patients. Study design This observational study included 15 multiparous women with HAE; a total of 88 pregnancies were assessed using a questionnaire and the patient's medical records. Results The median age was 36 (IQR, 33–39). Of 72 resulted in healthy babies without any congenital abnormalities. In sixteen pregnancies, 12 (13.6%) ended with spontaneous abortion; three resulted in stillbirth and one neonatal death. Two‐thirds of the patients (n = 10) enounced a worsening in the frequency of angioedema attacks during pregnancy. There was no statistically significant difference compared with the nonpregnant period (p = 0.283). One‐fifth of the patients (n = 3) reported alleviation in attacks. While most deliveries were vaginally (n = 57 babies), 19 deliveries in six patients were by cesarean section. None of the patients were aware of the diagnosis of HAE prior to their first pregnancies. After the diagnosis was made, eight patients received 263 vials of plasma‐derived C1‐inhibitor concentrate during a total of 13 pregnancies. No adverse events were reported. Conclusion We conclude that our results on clinical course and outcomes of HAE in multiparous patients are consistent with the literature. A greater focus on multiparous HAE patients could produce exciting findings.

“…These factors play a very important role in influencing the level of fertility and consequently the size of the population in the community. (Dehesh, Malekmohammadi, & Dehesh, 2022) investigated the factors associated with the time of the first-birth (FBI) in Iran by using multivariate Cox regression. This study concluded that the average of FBI is 2.5 ∓ 0.8 years.…”

Prolonging the period between marriage and the first birth reduces the effective age of childbearing in a woman and thus fewer children during her life. This paper aimed to study the interval between the beginning of the marriage till the conception of the first birth in terms of the length of this interval, childbearing probabilities, and the determinants that had a significant effect, for two groups of women, the first is for women who got married in the period that was characterized by a high total fertility rate. The second included the women who married during periods that were characterized by an acceptable downward trend in fertility rates. The life table, Cox Proportional Hazard Model, and the Egypt Demographic and Health Survey for the year 2014 were used. The results showed a decrease in this interval in the first group, as compared to the second group. The differences between the two groups appeared slight in terms of the childbearing probabilities. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of the variables with a significant effect during that interval. According to Cox's analysis, the woman's education level, age at her first cohabitation, and the previous use of family planning methods are the only significant variables. It is necessary to raise and spread awareness about the married couples' need of getting reassured about the continuation of their marriages before deciding to have a child. This aims to reduce the effective age of a woman's ability to bear more children.
