Peterson K, Anderson J, Boundy E, Ferguson L, McCleery E, Waldrip K. Am J Public Health. We used multivariable Poisson regression models with robust error variance to examine the association between maternal race and ethnicity (non-Hispanic white as the referent group) and the risk of composite maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes while adjusting for maternal age (younger than 30 years, 30–34 years, 35 years or older), nulliparous (yes, no, unknown), prenatal care (yes, no, unknown), cigarette use during pregnancy (yes, no, unknown), diabetes (no diabetes, pregestational diabetes, gestational diabetes), hypertensive disorders (yes, no, unknown), prepregnancy body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) (underweight [less than 18.5], normal weight [18.5–24.9], overweight [25–29.9], obesity class I [30.0–34.9], obesity class II [35.0–39.9], obesity class III [40 or greater], unknown), education (bachelor's degree, master's degree, doctorate or professional degree), marital status (married, not married), insurance status (Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, other insurance, unknown), neonatal sex (male, female), and delivery year (2011, 2012, 2013). 11.

Compared with the previous version, the 2003 version contains more detailed obstetric, medical, and demographic data.12 The revised birth certificate was used by 36 states and Washington, DC, in 2011, with increasing numbers of states adopting the revised birth certificate form in subsequent years. Among women with at least a bachelor's degree, racial and ethnic disparities in maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes exist. The adverse outcomes are uncommon and interventions to mitigate them, especially given the likely multifactorial cause, may be difficult to implement. The results of this population-based study suggest that maternal education, a proxy of socioeconomic status, alone does not account for the disparity in maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes. However, specific knowledge about how the types and timing of severe maternal morbidities deferentially affect ethnic/racial minority women is poorly understood. Am J Public Health 1990;80:70–2.

Natl Vital Stat Rep 2013;62:1–19. In the United States, racial and ethnic minority women face substantially higher rates of pregnancy-related complications (i.e., severe maternal morbidity) and pregnancy-related death (i.e., maternal mortality, defined by the CDC as death from a pregnancy-related cause within one year of delivery or termination of pregnancy) compared to Non-Hispanic White (hence, White) women. Visit our ABOG MOC II collection. Studies evaluating birth certificate data have consistently shown that the demographic and selected medical and health items (ie, method of delivery, birth weight, and plurality) are collected with a high degree of completeness and accuracy. When stratified by gestational age, for neonates born prematurely, the risk of composite neonatal adverse outcome was statistically lower among neonates delivered by Hispanic mothers, as compared with neonates with non-Hispanic white mothers. Differences in the maternal characteristics stratified by maternal race and ethnicity were examined using the χ2 test for categorical variables. Financial Disclosure The authors did not report any potential conflicts of interest. Among women with at least a bachelor's degree, compared with non-Hispanic white women, non-Hispanic black women had a significantly higher risk of composite maternal adverse outcome, whereas Hispanic women had a significantly lower risk of composite maternal adverse outcome. Non-Hispanic black and Hispanic mothers were more likely to be older (35 years and older), unmarried, and obese. Int J Equity Health 2013;12:10. your express consent. Looking for ABOG articles?

Anderson JG, Rogers EE, Baer RJ, Oltman SP, Paynter R, Partridge JC, et al. The large sample size permitted us to compare uncommon outcomes (eg, neonatal seizure which are linked with long-term sequelae), and to adjust for known confounders. A recent study examining the impact of hospital quality on racial and ethnic disparities in pregnancy-related morbidity in New York City found that differences in the hospitals where Black and White women deliver contribute to the disparity in severe maternal morbidity rates. 2020 Jun;46:49-56.e5. The results of the sensitivity analysis examining composite maternal adverse outcome without maternal transfusion showed that, similar to the primary analysis, the risk of composite maternal adverse outcome were significantly higher among non-Hispanic black women (aRR 1.19; 95% CI 1.11–1.28) but significantly lower among Hispanic women (aRR 0.65; 95% CI 0.60–0.71; Table 5).

Grobman WA, Bailit JL, Rice MM, Wapner RJ, Reddy UM, Varner MW, et al. Intergenerational transmission of the effects of acculturation on health in Hispanic Americans: a fetal programming perspective. There is research to suggest that surveys with response rates greater than 65% are unlikely to have appreciable changes in point estimates or data quality.23 Thus, nonresponse in our population, where response rates were greater than 90%, is unlikely to be a major contributor of bias. A recent validation study suggests that data from the 2003 birth certificate revision are a reliable source for a variety of health-related data elements.13.
