Abstract Objectives: Perceptions regarding the benefits of postpartum care among mothers and clinicians often differ. Clinicians generally perceive postpartum care as preventative, whereas pregnant and postpartum women often lack knowledge about its preventative benefits. As a result many women choose not to return for scheduled postpartum care visits. Methods: To examine if clinically relevant demographic and birth related factors are informative predictors for postpartum healthcare follow-up care, we conducted a population based cohort study of all women who delivered a child in 2012 – 2015 at the New York Mount Sinai Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Ambulatory Practice. Data was ascertained from electronic health records.Results: Of the 4,240 unique women who delivered between 2012-2015 at the Mount Sinai Hospital OB/GYN Ambulatory Practice, 1,685 (39.7%) did not return for their postpartum care follow-up appointment. The number of prenatal visits, maternal age, and parity were significantly associated with postpartum care follow-up. Conclusion for Practice: The purpose of this study was to determine identifiable factors associated with reduced postpartum healthcare follow-up utilization. Several clinically relevant variables were associated with the reduced likelihood for attending postpartum care visits. Because pregnant women represent a medically captured population, the results of this study point to the need to increase postpartum healthcare literacy during perinatal appointments especially among younger mothers, women who have had previous deliveries, and those with fewer prenatal visits.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of the registry of physical activity and rest recommendations made to pregnant women and to explore their associated factors in a prenatal care program of primary care public institutions in Bucaramanga, Colombia. METHODS: An observational study was conducted. The sampling frame consisted of the medical records of the pregnant women who attended at least one prenatal care program between January 1 and December 31, 2012 (n = 2.932), in 21 primary care health centers. We analyzed sociodemographic variables, prenatal and clinical antecedents, and information related to health personnel and the organization of health centers as possible factors associated with the recommendations of physical activity and rest recorded in the clinical history. Logistic regression models were applied to explore associations with α = 0.10. RESULTS: There was a frequency of 26.1% of PA recommendations and 3.6% of rest recommendation on record, issued by nutrition (97.3%) and medical (86.7%) professionals, respectively. The factors associated with the registration of physical activity recommendations were: being nulliparous pregnant (OR = 1.7), attending more than four Prenatal Care Attention Programs (OR = 2.2), having high or medium obstetric risk in the first prenatal care program (OR = 0.6), and being attended in the western (OR = 0.5) and eastern (OR = 0.2) administrative areas health centers. CONCLUSIONS: The low frequency of physical activity recommendations found in the records makes it necessary to reinforce the management strategies of health centers and strengthen the monitoring and accompaniment to comply with the care protocols. In addition, it is necessary to train health teams on the benefits of physical activity and their proper prescription, considering the multiple benefits derived from their practice on the maternal-fetal health.
