A167age group (< 18, 18-34, 35+), race, ethnicity, number of high-risk diagnosis codes, and zip codes. High-risk diagnoses-including prior history of preterm delivery, insulin-dependent diabetes, hypertension, multiple gestations, and incompetent cervix-are known predictors of low birth weight and premature delivery. Results: Thirty-one participants at high-risk for premature delivery received cell phones and text-messaging services. Twenty-six mothers (84%) successfully delivered babies to term (< 31 days from expected delivery date). Babies born in the IG had higher birth weights than those born in the CG (mean, 38.71g), lower rates of low birth weight babies (-0.12%) and very low birth weight babies (-0.06%), and delivered almost a full week later (mean, 0.96 wk). Participants reported high program-satisfaction rates. ConClusions: Members at high risk for preterm delivery participating in Moms2B had superior pregnancy outcomes compared to nonparticipants; program satisfaction was favorable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
