Birth outcomes affecting infants of mothers with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) face increased risk of adverse maternal pregnancy outcomes, yet less is known about infant outcomes.

Objectives

To examine birth outcomes of infants born to mothers with IDD and assess associations with demographics and IDD-type.

Methods

We used data from the Big Data for Little Kids project, which links Wisconsin birth records to Medicaid claims for live births covered by Medicaid from 2007 to 2016. We identified IDD using maternal prepregnancy Medicaid claims and ran Poisson regression (with a log link function) with robust variance clustered by mother to compare prevalence of outcomes between singleton births with and without mothers with IDD. We adjusted the associations for demographic factor
