Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the risk factors associated with pre-term labor (PTL) (< 37 gestational weeks) and low birth weight (LBW) (< 2500 gm) infants in a healthy Taiwanese population. From December 1998 through June 1999, a total of 633 healthy pregnant women were recruited at three teaching hospitals in Taipei. Using a prospective study design, the pregnancy outcome information was followed up by telephone or from medical records during the first month postpartum. Data were statistically analyzed by multiple logistic regression. The prevalence of premature births was 5.4%, and the prevalence of LBW infants was 5.1%. Pre-term births were significantly associated with high self-reported fatigue scores (OR = 3.45); extreme maternal age (< 20 and >/= 35 years, OR = 2.38); history of abortion (>/= 2, OR = 3.11); maternal height (

台湾早产儿与低出生体重儿之生理与社会预测因子。

摘要本研究旨在探讨台湾健康人群中早产(PTL)(< 37孕周)及低出生体重(LBW) (< 2500 gm)婴儿的相关危险因素。从1998年12月至1999年6月，台北三所教学医院共招募了633名健康孕妇。采用前瞻性研究设计，通过电话或产后第一个月的医疗记录跟踪妊娠结局信息。数据采用多元逻辑回归进行统计学分析。早产儿患病率为5.4%，低体重儿患病率为5.1%。早产儿与自我报告的高疲劳评分显著相关(OR = 3.45);极端产妇年龄(< 20岁和>/= 35岁，OR = 2.38);流产史(>/= 2,OR = 3.11);母体身高(
