OBJECTIVE: We investigated the association between number of prenatal visits (PNV) and pregnancy outcomes.STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort of 12 092 consecutive, uncomplicated term births was included. Exclusion criteria included unknown or third trimester pregnancy dating, pre-existing medical conditions and common pregnancy complications. Patients with 10. The primary outcome was a neonatal composite including neonatal intensive care unit admission, low APGAR score (< 7), low umbilical cord pH (< 7.10) and neonatal demise. Secondary outcomes included components of the composite as well as vaginal delivery, induction and cesarean delivery. Logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounders.RESULT: Of 7256 patients in the cohort meeting inclusion criteria, 30% (N=2163) had >10 PNV and the remaining 70% (N=5093) had 10 PNV were more likely to undergo induction of labor and cesarean delivery.CONCLUSION: Low-risk women with >= 10 PNV had higher rates of pregnancy interventions without improvement in neonatal outcomes.
