N2 - We used a retrospective cohort of 5,581 individuals to examine the association between interpregnancy interval (IPI) after stillbirth and pregnancy outcomes of preterm birth, preeclampsia, small for gestational age, recurrent stillbirth, infant death, and neonatal intensive care unit admission in the subsequent pregnancy. The IPI was divided in six categories, with 18-23 months as referent. Association between IPI category and adverse outcomes was determined with logistic regression models adjusted for maternal race and ethnicity, age, education, insurance, and gestational age at preceding stillbirth. Adverse perinatal outcome was common in pregnancies after stillbirth, with 26.7%of individuals delivering preterm. None of the IPI categories were associated with increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes, including the shortest category (IPI less than 3 months). This finding is meaningful for bereaved parents who desire to conceive shortly after stillbirth.
