本研究的目的是探讨宗教信仰与产科结果之间的关系。我们审查了 1,919 份婴儿在大学医疗中心出生的患者记录。从孕产妇和新生儿记录中获得的数据包括人口统计信息、产前史、分娩记录以及宗教信仰。主流基督徒的孕产妇并发症和新生儿重症监护室 (NICU) 入院率最低（11%、11%），福音派基督徒中等（17%、12%），无宗教偏好的患者最高（21%、18%）。在控制了可能的混杂因素后，宗教信仰与新生儿重症监护病房入院率较低之间的关联仍然存在。主流基督徒的产妇并发症发生率较低。有宗教信仰的患者比没有宗教信仰的患者有更好的产科结果。大多数关联似乎是由于风险较低的社会形象，但宗教的微小积极影响仍然存在。
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between religious affiliation and obstetric outcome. We reviewed 1,919 records of patients whose infants were born at a university medical center. Data obtained from maternal and newborn records included demographic information, prenatal history, labor and delivery records, and religious affiliation. Maternal complications and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions were lowest for mainline Christians (11%, 11%), intermediate for evangelical Christians (17%, 12%), and highest for patients with no religious preferences (21%, 18%). After controlling for possible confounders, the association of religious affiliation and lower NICU admission rates remained. Mainline Christians had a lower frequency of maternal complications. Patients with a religious affiliation had better obstetric outcome than those without. Most of the association seems to be due to a lower risk social profile, but a small positive influence of religion persisted.
