ObjectiveTo examine the relationship between newborn outcomes and late prenatal care initiation after recognition of pregnancy.DesignSecondary data analysis of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment and Monitoring System (PRAMS) data for the United States.SettingTwenty-nine states.ParticipantsWomen of childbearing age (135,623) who resided in 29 states in the PRAMS study who received prenatal care and had live births.MethodsPopulation-based survey from 2000 through 2004 that examined four newborn outcomes: prematurity, low birth weight (LBW), admission into Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and infant mortality.ResultsThe average time lag (difference between the time of pregnancy recognition and initiation of prenatal care) for the study was 3.2 weeks (99% CI [3.12, 3.21]). Women who recognized their pregnancies before 6 weeks had a longer lag time (3.5 weeks, 99% CI [3.43, 3.53]) than women who recognized their pregnancies later (2.1 weeks, 99% CI [1.96, 2.15]). After adjusting for confounders including the timing of pregnancy recognition, longer time lag was associated with reduced risks of prematurity (odds ratio [OR]=0.99, 99% Confidence Interval [CI] [0.97, 1.00], p
