Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether the length of the interval between an abortion
and the next pregnancy is associated with increased risks of adverse maternal and
perinatal outcomes in Latin America. Method: Retrospective cross-sectional study
using information from 258,108 women delivering singleton infants and whose
previous pregnancy resulted in abortion recorded in the Perinatal Information
System database of the Latin American Centre for Perinatology and Human
Development, Montevideo, Uruguay, between 1985 and 2002. Adjusted odds ratios
were obtained through logistic regression analysis. Result: Compared with the
post-abortion interpregnancy intervals of 18 to 23 months, intervals shorter than 6
months were significantly associated with increased risks of maternal anemia,
premature rupture of membranes, low birth weight, very low birth weight,
preterm delivery, and very preterm delivery. Conclusion: In Latin America, postabortion
interpregnancy intervals shorter than 6 months are independently
associated with increased risks of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in
the next pregnancy. Definition: Post-abortion interpregnancy interval (PAII): the
time elapsed between the day of the aboTo investigate whether the length of the interval between an abortion
