Area of Science:

Public Health
Maternal Health
Health Services Research

Background:

Routine health care before pregnancy is vital for identifying risks.
Adequate prenatal care (PNC) is essential for mitigating adverse maternal and infant outcomes.
Mississippi faces challenges with maternal and infant mortality rates.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the relationship between pre-pregnancy health care utilization and PNC adequacy.
To investigate the association between PNC adequacy and gestational age at birth.
To analyze these relationships in Mississippi residents.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional analysis of Mississippi Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data (2016-2021).
Used descriptive statistics, correlational analysis, and generalized linear models.
Prenatal care adequacy was assessed using the Kessner Index.

Main Results:

52% of participants utilized routine health care pre-pregnancy.
Pre-pregnancy health care use was linked to higher odds of adequate PNC (p = .009).
Health insurance, higher income, and white race were associated with increased likelihood of adequate PNC.

Conclusions:

Routine pre-pregnancy health care utilization significantly increases the probability of receiving adequate PNC.
Healthcare providers should leverage pre-pregnancy visits to address health concerns.
Further research into barriers to routine health care is needed to address high mortality rates.
