Adverse infant outcomes following low-risk pregnancies in England: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are limited data describing adverse infant outcomes in infants born to women with a low risk of complications during pregnancy, such as those who may be enrolled in maternal immunization trials. This retrospective study estimated incidence proportions of infant outcomes in different cohorts of liveborn infants in England between 2005 and 2017.

Methods

The incidence proportions of 10 infant outcomes were calculated for liveborn infants from pregnancies represented in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) Mother-Baby Link (MBL) and linkage to Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). Three infant cohorts were designed: (1) the all pregnancies infants cohort (N = 185,119), (2) the all pregnancies with a gestational age (GA) ≥ 24 weeks infants cohort (N = 183,
