Abstract

A cohort study was conducted among 45 university-affiliated residency programs to investigate potential adverse effects of residency training on pregnancy outcome. Pregnancy outcomes between female residents and spouses of male residents were similar; however, the increased risk for premature labor among female residents is a cause for concern and should be further investigated.
