1117名低风险妇女被随机分配到传统的13次产前检查或减少了6至7次检查的计划，在分娩后2.7年进行了随访。后续行动是通过邮寄问卷(评估母子关系、产妇心理健康状况、卫生服务使用情况、与健康有关的行为和健康信念)和关于普通医疗中接触频率的病人记录数据进行的。没有证据表明两组之间在所检查的任何结果上存在差异。为低风险妇女提供减少常规产前检查的时间表似乎没有任何长期影响。
1117 low risk women, who had been randomly allocated to either the traditional schedule of 13 antenatal visits or a reduced schedule of six to seven visits, were followed up 2.7 years after their delivery. Follow up was by means of a postal questionnaire (assessing the mother-child relationship, maternal psychological wellbeing, health service use, health-related behaviour and health beliefs), and patient record data on the frequency of contacts in general practice. There was no evidence of differences between the two groups for any of the outcomes examined. Offering a reduced schedule of routine antenatal visits to low risk women does not appear to have any long term effects.
