目的：量化第一胎孕妇的居住流动率。方法：我们对 585 名初产澳大利亚妇女的居住流动率进行了验证，这些女性在妊娠晚期登记，参加了一项随机对照试验，并随访至产后至少 16 周。结果：我们发现居住流动率为 19%。搬家者和非搬家者因社会人口因素而有所不同，搬家者更可能更年轻，相对风险 (RR)=2.14（95% 置信区间 (CI) 1.41-3.13），并且不与伴侣同住 RR=2.46（95% CI 1.60-3.77）。结论：大多数前瞻性流行病学研究预计研究人群中会出现一些流失。家庭形成期被认为是流动性较高的时期，这种流动性可能会导致随访失败。 启示：计划对怀孕人群进行前瞻性研究的研究人员应考虑居住流动性的影响，特别是差异性流动性，并实施减少人员流失和优化反应率的策略。
Objective: To quantify the residential mobility rate in a population of pregnant women expecting their first baby.Method: We verified residential mobility in a cohort of 585 primiparous Australian women who were enrolled in late pregnancy and had participated in a randomised controlled trial and followed-up to at least 16 weeks post-partum.Results: We found a residential mobility rate of 19%. Movers and non-movers differed by socio-demographic factors, with movers more likely be younger, relative risk (RR)=2.14 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.41-3.13), and not living with a partner RR=2.46 (95% CI 1.60-3.77).Conclusion: Most prospective epidemiological studies can expect some attrition in the study population. The family formation period is acknowledged as a highly mobile time and this mobility may contribute to loss to follow-up.Implications: Researchers planning prospective studies in pregnant populations should consider the impact of residential mobility, especially differential mobility, and implement strategies to reduce attrition and optimise response rates.
