An assessment of prenatal care and birth outcomes was performed
for a sample of 7,599 births at a military hospital between
1982 and 1985. Prenatal care patterns were similar to a civilian
Health Maintenance Organization study's. Less adequate levels
of prenatal care were significantly associated with higher risks
of neonatal mortality and low birth weight. Five independent
risk factors for receiving less adequate care were identified
by multivariate analysis: 1) young maternal age (less than age
20), 2) black race, 3) residence off post, 4) high risk combinations
of age and parity, and 5) residence in low-income census tracts.
