Nulliparity is associated with lower birthweight, but few studies have examined how within-mother changes in risk factors impact this association.We used longitudinal electronic medical record data from a hospital-based cohort of consecutive singleton live births 2002-2010 Utah. To reduce bias unobserved pregnancies, primary analyses were limited to 9484 women who entered nulliparous 2002-2004, 23,380 pregnancies up parity 3. Unrestricted secondary 101,225 45,212 7. We calculated gestational...
Our analysis examined the impact of maternal dietary patterns and lifestyle factors on markers fetal growth, specifically birthweight size for gestational age (small- (SGA) or large-for-gestational (LGA)). The Infant Feeding Practices Study II, a prospective cohort study, surveyed pregnant women during their 3rd trimester, which subgroup (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mi>n</mml:mi><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mn>893</mml:mn></mml:math>) completed food...
Little is known about how very low birth weight (VLBW) affects survival and morbidities among infants with trisomy 13 (T13) or 18 (T18). We examined the care plans for VLBW T13 T18 compared their risks of mortality neonatal 21 without defects.Infants 401 to 1500 g born cared at a participating center Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute Child Health Human Development Neonatal Research Network during period 1994-2009 were studied. Poisson regression models used examine risk death T18.Of...
Abstract Background Adipokines can serve as a measure of adipose tissue activity. Although birthweight correlates with neonatal adiposity, findings for cord blood levels adipokines and birth outcomes have been conflicted. Therefore, we determined the cross‐sectional associations between measured in newborn dried spots ( DBS ) outcomes. Methods The Upstate KIDS study enrolled mothers infants from 2008 to 2010. Among whose parents consented use residual screening, 2397 singletons 1240 twins...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Little is known about in-hospital morbidities and neurodevelopmental outcomes among extremely preterm infants born to women with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). We examined risks of mortality, morbidities, at 18 22 months’ corrected age between insulin use before pregnancy (IBP), started during (IDP), without IDDM. METHODS: Infants 28 weeks’ gestation or cared for a Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute Child Health Human Development Neonatal...
The cause of posterior urethral valves (PUV) is unknown, but genetic factors are suspected given their familial occurrence. We examined cases isolated PUV to identify novel copy number variants (CNVs). identified 56 from all live‐births in New York State (1998–2005). Samples were genotyped using Illumina HumanOmni2.5 microarrays. Autosomal and sex‐linked CNVs PennCNV cnvPartition software. prioritized for follow‐up if they absent in‐house controls, contained ≥10 consecutive probes, ≥20 Kb...
Our objective was to compare survival and neonatal morbidity rates between very low birth weight (VLBW) infants with Down syndrome (DS) VLBW non-DS chromosomal anomalies, nonchromosomal defects (BDs), no anomaly or major BD. Data were collected prospectively for weighing 401 1500 g who born and/or cared at one of the study centers participating in Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute Child Health Human Development Neonatal Research Network 1994-2008. Risk death morbidities, including...
First pregnancy characteristics and blood pressure (BP) measures may be associated with second hypertensive disorder risk. We examined the association between first risk factors disorders. Electronic medical records of nulliparas (n = 26,787) delivering at least twice in Utah (2002–2010) were used. Polychotomous logistic regression models estimated disorders (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, or chronic hypertension) stratified by status adjusted for characteristics. Among normotensive...
This study aimed to estimate and compare the recurrence risk of preterm birth (PTB), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), hypertension (GH), preeclampsia eclampsia (PE E) in subsequent pregnancy groups (index-subsequent) singleton-singleton (
Preconception counseling is recommended for all women with diabetes starting at puberty to convey the importance of optimal management maternal and fetal outcomes. This study included 622 female participants from SEARCH Diabetes in Youth a mean age 22.2 years (range 14–35 years). Only 53.7% reported ever receiving preconception counseling, which was significantly lower among seeing pediatric providers than those adult or all-age providers. Older history prior pregnancy were associated...
