A New Tool for Estimating the Number of Pregnant People in the United States.
Background: Knowing the approximate number of women of reproductive age (ie, 15-49 years) who are pregnant at a point in time in the United States can aid in emergency preparedness resource allocation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a pregnancy estimator toolkit in 2012, which could be used to estimate the number of pregnant people in a geographic area at a point in time. This original toolkit did not account for pregnancy losses before 20 weeks of gestation; however, an updated toolkit released by the CDC in May 2024 uses a ratio of live births to estimate the number of pregnancy losses before 20 weeks at a point in time for improved estimation of total pregnant people at a point in time.
Instrument: We used the CDC's updated reproductive health tool, "Estimating the Number of Pregnant Women in a Geographic Area."
Experience: Using publicly available data for 2020, we gathered the necessary input values, including total births, fetal deaths, and induced abortions, and applied the equation available in the CDC toolkit to estimate the number of pregnant people in the United States at any point in time in 2020.
Conclusion: In 2020, there were 75,582,028 women of reproductive age in the United States, and we estimate that approximately 2,962,052 or 3.9% of women of reproductive age were pregnant at any point in time in the United States.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces is a leading interdisciplinary journal that brings together chemists, engineers, physicists, and biologists to explore the development and utilization of newly-discovered materials and interfacial processes for specific applications. Our journal has experienced remarkable growth since its establishment in 2009, both in terms of the number of articles published and the impact of the research showcased. We are proud to foster a truly global community, with the majority of published articles originating from outside the United States, reflecting the rapid growth of applied research worldwide.
