The duration of gestation at previous induced abortion and its impacts on subsequent births: A nationwide registry‐based study

Abstract: Introduction: Previous induced abortions have been associated with adverse birth outcomes. However, only a few studies have considered the possible influence of gestational age at induced abortion. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the impacts of gestational age during prior induced abortion(s) on subsequent births among first-time mothers in Finland. Material and methods:First-time mothers (n = 418 690) with singleton births between 1996 and 2013 were identified from the Finnish Medical Birth Register a… Show more

“…The basic clinical characteristics of pregnant women included in our model were smoking or passive smoking, gravidity and history of hypertension. These factors may impair the function of trophoblast cells to varying degrees, and affect blood vessel generation and remodeling, thereby influencing the establishment and maintenance of a stable fetal supply of nutrition and oxygen through the placenta [25][26][27] . However, clinical characteristics alone exhibited a relatively poor predictive performance for FGR.…”

“…The following variables, representing baseline clinical characteristics of women available in the hospital EMR, were identified as potential confounding factors that could exert an influence on the labor process and birth outcomes based on previous studies, and were adjusted for statistical analyses: age (years), 13 parity (primipara/multipara), 14 history of spontaneous or induced abortion(s) (no/yes), 15 body mass index (BMI) at the admission for birth, 16 gestational hypertensive disorders (no/yes), 17 gestational diabetes mellitus (no/yes), 18 Group B streptococci (GBS) positive(no/yes), 19 other preexisting maternal chronic illness and pregnancy complications (no/yes) such as thyroid disease, 20 oligohydramnios, 21 ovarian cyst, 22 hepatitis B seropositivity 23 and polyhydramnios, 24 intrapartum fever (no/yes), 25 gestational age at birth (<28 weeks/28–34 weeks/<37 weeks/37+ weeks), 26 premature rupture of membranes (no/yes) 27 and induction of labor (no/yes) 28 . An additional confounding variable considered in this study was birthweight ≥4 kg (no/yes), as the size of baby may affect the vaginal birth process and outcomes 29…”
