title: Military pregnancies and adverse perinatal outcome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify significant risk factors for an adverse outcome in active-duty military women.
  
  
  METHODS
  A prospective study of 105 pregnancies and their outcome.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The data revealed that: (1) single women more than married personnel had cesarean births when compared with forceps and vacuum (P < 0.03) or spontaneous vaginal delivery (P < 0.04); and (2) active-duty women who gained < 25 pounds during pregnancy developed preterm labor more often (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Risk factors for these adverse outcomes remain unknown.
