“…The relation between low birth weight and bad developmental outcome has been documented in the human as well as in other primate species. In humans, parental rejection and abuse have been related to low birth weight (Hultin & Ottosson, 1971;Klein & Stern, 1971). Retrospective data analyses at our colony showed that smaller infants, if they remained with their mothers, were more likely to die of abuse, malnutrition, or pneumonia than were larger infants (Fredrickson,Note 2).…”

Information from background, maternal, and infant measures was obtained from 61 pigtailed macaque mother-infant dyads. Sixteen variables, including five background, three maternal, and eight infant measures, were studied by a commonality analysis for each set of variables and by a hierarchical-stepwise regression for each variable. Each set of variables explained a significant percentage of the variation of infant survival, with the maternal variables contributing over twice as much explained variation as the background or infant variables did. Three background variables (maternal experience, place of birth, and infant's birth-weight centile), three maternal variables (grooming efficiency, response to acute stress, and reunion time), and four infant assessments (rooting, crawling, visual orienting, and placing) contributed significant information. The results indicate that prediction of infant survival must be based on information about the caretaking dyad and its environment. Information from this study enables us to develop appropriate intervention procedures to save infants considered to be high risks for neonatal mortality or morbidity.

Increased stress, psychosocial problems, economic disadvantages, and lack of prenatal care are proposed to explain discrepancies in the outcome of unintended pregnancies. Studies of maternal intention and pregnancy outcomes have yielded varied results. Objective is to review studies of the risk of low birth weight (LBW)/preterm births (PTB) associated with unintended pregnancies ending in a live birth. We reviewed studies reporting on maternal intentions and outcomes from Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and bibliographies of identified articles. An unintended pregnancy was further classified as mistimed (not intended at that time) or unwanted (not desired at any time). Studies reporting an association between pregnancy intention and any of the outcomes were included. Study quality was assessed for biases in selection, exposure assessment, confounder adjustment, analyses, outcomes assessment, and attrition. Unadjusted and adjusted data from included studies were extracted by two reviewers. There were significantly increased odds of LBW among unintended pregnancies [odds ratio (OR) 1.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.25, 1.48] ending in a live birth. Within the unintended category, mistimed (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.13, 1.52) and unwanted (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.29, 1.78) pregnancies were associated with LBW. There were statistically significantly increased odds of PTB among unintended (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.09, 1.58), and unwanted (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.41, 1.61) but not for mistimed (OR 1.36, 95% CI 0.96, 1.93) pregnancies. Unintended, unwanted, and mistimed pregnancies ending in a live birth are associated with a significantly increased risk of LBW and PTB.
