Abstract
The relationship between time from planned to achieved pregnancy and pregnancy outcome has been studied in a group of 18,658 workers in the textile, clothing and footwear industries. Information on pregnancy outcome and delay in conception in the period 1979-84 was collected by self administered questionnaires in 1985. The response rate was 70.3%. During the study period there had been 5,171 live births and 708 spontaneous abortions. Information on delay in conception was collected in broad categories. The data were analysed by means of a newly developed statistical parametric model in order to collect all possible information from the highly grouped data. Median waiting time before a pregnancy which ended in spontaneous abortion was 1.68 times longer than median waiting time before a pregnancy leading to a live birth. There seems to be a correlation between the length of the waiting time and abortion.Keywords: Abortion, Spontaneous; Demographic Factors; Denmark; Developed Countries; Diseases; Economic Factors; Employment--women; Europe; Fertile Period; Fertility; Industry; Macroeconomic Factors; Northern Europe; Population; Population Dynamics; Pregnancy; Pregnancy Complications; Pregnancy Outcomes; Pregnancy, Planned; Pregnancy, Unplanned; Reproduction; Reproductive Behavior; Research Report; Scandinavia
