Late entry to PNC was not associated with gestational diabetes, prolonged rupture of membranes, pregnancy loss, elective abortion, substance use, or premature labor. Younger age was significantly associated with substance use, elective abortion, and sexually transmitted infection. There were 2,107 eligible newborns. There was no significant difference in gestational age at birth, incidence of prematurity, birthweight percentile, or occurrence of a neonatal intensive care unit admission based on maternal age. In comparison to published national outcomes, there was a significantly smaller occurrence of preterm (5.3% vs. 9.57-10.23%, 95% CI, 4.4-6.4%), small for gestational age (5.2% vs. 10-13%, 95% CI, 4.3-6.2%), and large for gestational age (4.8% vs. 9%, 95% CI, 4.0-5.8%) births, but a higher occurrence of neonatal intensive care unit admissions (16.9% vs. 7.8-14.4%, 95% CI, 15.4-18.6%) in infants born to military beneficiaries.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our findings suggest that expanded universal access to health care may improve AYA pregnancy and delivery outcomes.
