[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 6Me2VR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study compared injury deaths between postpartum women and other women aged 15 to 44. Methods. Risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed for injury fatality rates. Results. Fifty percent (29/58) of postpartum injury deaths were homicides. compared with 26% (427/1648) of injury deaths among nonpregnant, nonpostpartum women. For females aged 15 to 19, the homicide rate was 2.6 times higher (95% CI=1.17,5.95) for postpartum females than for other females. The motor-vehicle fatality rate was lower for postpartum females than for nonpregnant, non-postpartum females (risk ratio=0.30. CI=0,18,0,481. Conclusions. Postpartum females aged 15 to 19 years were at higher risk of homicide. Postpartum women were at reduced risk of motor-vehicle fatalities.
