Temporal Trends in Pregnancy Rate, Live Birth Rates, and Rates of Gestational Outcomes, 2012-2023

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate trends in pregnancy rates, live birth rates, and various gestational outcomes from 2012 to 2023, while also examining variations by maternal demographics. Their findings revealed a significant decline in both pregnancy and live birth rates, alongside a notable increase in induced abortions, suggesting that the decrease in live births may be attributed to higher abortion rates despite improvements in other gestational outcomes.
