Abstract

Preterm birth affected about 10% infants born in the U.S. in 2016. This project was a secondary analysis of data drawn from a preterm birth prediction study to assess whether psychological symptom clusters exist among pregnant women. A symptom cluster exists when two or more symptoms co-occur, are related to each other, and are stable. We found one psychological symptom pair that satisfied these conditions: anxiety & self-esteem. This finding has potential to help guide symptom assessment among pregnant women.
