The prevalence of short inter-pregnancy interval and its associated risk factors among women attending primary health care centers of NGHA in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study.

Background: The inter-pregnancy interval (IPI) refers to the time between one pregnancy and the next. Studies have shown that IPIs shorter than 18 months are linked to negative outcomes, such as preterm delivery, infant mortality, and small-for-gestational-age birth. The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence and risk factors of short inter-pregnancy intervals among women receiving care at primary health centers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
