Annotation: This academic thesis examines the association between severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and interpregnancy interval using Iowa data from 2009-2014. It utilizes hospital discharge data linked to birth certificates to analyze three main areas: the risk of SMM recurrence and its relation to interpregnancy interval length; the patterns of interpregnancy interval between women with and without SMM; and the comparison of SMM identification between hospital discharge data and birth certificate data. The study found that women who experienced SMM were over eight times more likely to experience a subsequent SMM event, suggesting these women may need enhanced postpartum care.
