Female Veteran Pregnancy Complications - Datathon23

Women Veterans who receive maternity care through VA often have multiple medical conditions that can increase their risk of pregnancy complications. Unique to Veterans, experiencing a military deployment may increase the risk of pre-term birth. It is suggested that one of the reasons for this increased risk of pre-term birth may be that being deployed also increases the risk of developing post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Having PTSD can increase the risk of a spontaneous pre-term birth as well as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes.
