Objectives: To characterize women receiving poor antenatal care and assess their perinatal risk. Design: Computerized data. Setting: Public hospital setting Paris (1987-1990). Comparison with representative sample in Ile-de-France region (n = 6423). Methods: Poor attenders with less than 3 visits (n = 210) were compared with good attenders with 3 visits or more (n = 563 1). Results: Poor attenders were younger and had higher rates of perinatal mortality (4.7%), preterm delivery (Odds ratio 5.2:4.3-6.3) and low birth weight (Odds ratio 4.6:3.7-5.6). Conclusion: Women with poor antenatal care have a greater risk for adverse pregnancy outcome. This risk cannot be attributed to unfavourable living conditions only.
