Introduction:&#13;
Global estimates of maternal and perinatal mortality have continued to remain unchanged over the past 20 years, and strategies are being sought to decrease the occurrence of maternal and perinatal death. An important determinant of the maternal and neonatal mortality is the health of the mother and the care that she receives it during the antenatal period. The maternal and neonatal outcomes are influenced by inter pregnancy interval. It has been demonstrated that interpregnancy interval plays a key role determining the health status of the mother. This study was done to evaluate the possible association between inter-pregnancy interval and the occurrence of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in our hospital, which is a tertiary care centre located in sub urban part of Chennai.&#13;
&#13;
