As part of the decision-making process for the management of myelomeningocele, some pregnant individuals are interested in, and may ultimately proceed with, termination of pregnancy.

The exposure was the distance traveled to the fetal care center defined as miles from the patient's zip code of residence to the fetal care center. Distance was analyzed in two ways: categorically (dichotomized based on median value) and continuously.

Distance traveled was independently associated with abortion consideration, after controlling for gestational age at the time of presentation to the fetal care center (aRR 0.44, 95% CI 0.27–0.72). When treating the distance traveled as a continuous outcome, for every mile traveled the risk of considering abortion decreased by 1% (aRR 0.99, 95% CI 0.98–0.99).
