Childbirth after cancer among 42 896 male adolescents and young adults: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have examined childbirth and adverse perinatal outcomes among male adolescents and young adults with cancer (AYAs, diagnosed at age 15-39 years). We conducted a population-based assessment of these outcomes in a large, diverse sample.

Methods

Male AYAs diagnosed between January 1, 1995, and December 31, 2015, were identified using the Texas Cancer Registry and linked to live birth certificates and the Texas Birth Defects Registry through December 31, 2016. Cumulative incidence of live birth after diagnosis was estimated. Log binomial regression models were used to estimate prevalence of preterm birth (<37 weeks), low birth weight (<2500 g), small for gestational age (<10th percentile), and any birth defect among liveborn offspring of male AYAs compared
