SOTERO SALGUEIRO, Gonzalo A et al. El estado civil materno y su asociación con los resultados perinatales en una población hospitalaria. Rev. Méd. Urug. [online]. 2006, vol.22, n.1, pp.59-65. ISSN 0303-3295.

Summary Background: The study aims at determining association between maternal marital status and perinatal characteristics in pregnant women treated in the Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell. Methods: Association between maternal marital status and perinatal characteristics was studied in 41.011 newborns during five years. Results were adjusted for different risk factors using logistic and lineal regression models. Results: Single mother status was associated with low birth weight (adjusted Odds ratio [aOR] = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.02-1.20) and fetal death ([aOR] = 1.51; 95% CI: 1.24-1.83). Other related factors associated with low birth weight and fetal death were as follow: unadequate prenatal control, history of low birth weight and fetal death. Smoking was associated with an increase of low birth weight (aOR = 1.30; 95% CI: 1.23-1.39). Conclusions: Findings agreed with international results on the association marital status and other risk factors with perinatal characteristics.
