In 1999, 63% of women received adequate PNC, 12.5% received inadequate care due to late entry and 24.6% received inadequate PNC due to an insufficient number of visits despite appropriate entry time. Figure 2 compares the Utah birth population distribution to the inadequate PNC population distributions for selected risk factors. Women who received inadequate PNC due to insuf- ficient visits closely resemble the Utah birth population, except with regard to birth interval and rural residence. Women with inadequate PNC due to late entry were strikingly different than the Utah birth population in that all selected risk factors except rural residence were more prevalent in this group. INADEQUATE PRENATAL CARE DUE TO INSUFFICIENT VISITS Overall, 11,300 women (24.6%) who delivered a live birth in Utah received inadequate care due to an insufficient number of PNC visits. These women did initiate PNC in the first trimester of pregnancy. As shown in Table 1, race, alcohol use in the three months before pregnancy, and birth interval were significant barriers to inadequate PNC due to an insufficient number of visits. White women (25.1%) were more likely to receive an insufficient number of PNC visits than other than white women (16.2%). Women who reported drinking alcohol in the three months before pregnancy were somewhat less likely to have received a sufficient number of PNC visits (29.4%). Of women whose last delivery occurred between 21 and 36 months before the current delivery, 32.3% did not receive a sufficient number of PNC visits. INADEQUATE PRENATAL CARE DUE TO LATE ENTRY Overall, 5,700 women (12.5%) who delivered a live birth in Utah received inadequate care due to PNC initiation after the Utah's Health: An Annual Review Volume DC |
