Description:Background:
The relationship between unintended pregnancy and interpregnancy interval (IPI) across maternal age is not clear.
Methods:
Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth, we estimated the percentages of pregnancies that were unintended among IPI groups (<6, 6–11, 12–17,18–23, 24+ months) by maternal age at last live birth (15–19, 20–24,25–29, 30–44 years).
Results:
Approximately 40% of pregnancies were unintended and 36% followed an IPI<18 months. Within each maternal age group, the percentage of pregnancies that were unintended decreased as IPI increased.
Conclusion:
Unintended pregnancies are associated with shorter IPI across the reproductive age spectrum.
