Objective: We aimed to evaluate the rates of short interpregnancy interval pregnancies and deliveries among women who receive immediate postpartum LARC.
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all women who delivered at Montefiore Medical Center between January 2015 and June 2016 (N = 9561). In this cohort, we identified all repeat deliveries and pregnancies within 18 months of the initial delivery. Using logistic regression models, we compared rates of short interpregnancy interval delivery and pregnancy among recipients of an immediate postpartum IUD, immediate postpartum implant, and no immediate postpartum LARC, adjusting for covariates including patient age, mode of delivery, socioeconomic status, and race.
Results: In our cohort, 12.9% of patients received immediate postpartum LARC. The rates of short interpregnancy interval delivery were 3.3% (N = 259/7833) among patients who did not receive immediate postpartum LARC, 1% (N = 6/595) among immediate postpartum IUD recipients, and 0.4% (N = 2/562) among immediate postpartum implant recipients. The rates of short interpregnancy interval pregnancy were 13.8% (N = 1082/7833) among patients who did not receive immediate postpartum LARC, 7.4% (N = 44/595) among immediate postpartum IUD recipients, and 5.2% (N = 29/562) among immediate postpartum implant recipients. Both recipients of immediate postpartum IUDs and immediate postpartum implants had lower rates of short interpregnancy interval delivery and pregnancy compared to patients who did not receive immediate postpartum LARC.
Conclusions: This study confirms that women who received immediate postpartum IUDs and implants have lower rates of short interpregnancy interval pregnancies.
Implications: Making immediate postpartum LARC widely available is a promising public health approach to help women achieve a longer interpregnancy interval.

Department of Health Sciences, Global Health Unit, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends an interval of at least 24 months from the date of a live birth to the conception of the next pregnancy in order to reduce the risk of adverse maternal, perinatal, and infant outcomes. There is limited data about the implementation of this recommendation and its contributing factors in low-land ecologies in Oromia, which is the biggest regional state in Ethiopia.
Objective: To assess the inter-pregnancy interval and determine associated factors among parous women in selected low-land districts of Arsi and East Shoa Zone.

Objective: To assess the risk of recurrent preterm birth following spontaneous extreme preterm birth between 16 - 27 weeks.
Methods: A nationwide retrospective cohort study was conducted with data from the Perinatal Registry of the Netherlands. We included nulliparous women with a singleton pregnancy that ended in spontaneous preterm birth between 16 and 27 weeks of gestation without congenital anomalies or antenatal death between 2010-2014 and had a subsequent pregnancy in the 5 years following (2010-2019).
