Secondary outcomes
ICD-10 codes P08.0, pain, weight gain, headache, injury, blood loss, dystocia
LATE PREGNANCY, VAGINAL BLEEDING, GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS, LEAKAGE OF AMNIOTIC FLUID, DYSTOCIA
Women’s ratings of different components of ANC in late pregnancy and 2 months post partum were also assessed. A number of questions in this format were asked: ‘Have you been happy with…?’ with response alternatives Knowledge about danger signs (vaginal bleeding, leakage of amniotic fluids, decreased fetal movement and severe headache) and where to seek healthcare with specific symptoms (general practitioner (GP), labour ward, emergency room, etc) were assessed in Q2, in the question format ‘What would you do if you experienced….’ with the following response alternatives Obstetric outcomes included: ANC parameters (number of ANC visits, number of visits to specialist care, referral to an obstetrician, asked about experience of violence, attendance at parent education), health parameters (haemoglobin (lowest value and last value prior to birth), S-ferritin (lowest value), weight gain during pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus (ICD-10 code O24.4)), birth outcomes (induction of labour, oxytocin for dystocia, pain relief, mode of birth, perineal injury, blood loss, breast feeding at the labour ward, length of stay), attendance at postpartum check-up, breastfeeding and body mass index (BMI) at the postpartum visit. The number of ANC visits is presented as the median number of visits, and the proportion of women having 6 or fewer visits, 7–11 visits or more than 11 visits. This was considered more clinically relevant to the Swedish context than using the Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization Index as originally planned and stated in the study protocol.Infant outcomes: gestational age, birth weight, SGA (ICD-10 codes P05.0 and P05.1), large for gestational age (ICD-10 codes P08.0 and P08.1), Apgar score <7 at 5 min, umbilical cord pH (arterial and venous) and neonatal intensive care.
