Objective To investigate the association between an abnormal hysterosalpingogram (HSG) and obstetrical neonatal outcomes.
Higher rates of mental disorders, specifically depression, were found among affected people in previous epidemiological studies taken after disasters. The aim the current study was to assess risk for depression pregnant women hospitalized during "coronavirus disease 2019" (COVID-19) pandemic, as compared before COVID-19 pandemic.A cross-sectional performed high-risk pregnancy units Soroka University Medical Center (SUMC). All participating completed Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale...

Fetal sex has also been shown to affect the course of its The aim this study was evaluate whether modifies association between continuous exposure life-threatening rocket attack alarms adverse A retrospective cohort conducted in which exposed group comprised 1846 women rocket-attack before during pregnancy. unexposed group, similar sociodemographic characteristics, delivered same...
Multiple gestations are a risk factor for most pregnancy complications. The current study aimed to whether offspring born after twin pregnancies at increased long-term health complications.A retrospective cohort was conducted in large medical center, including all between the years 1991-2021, which were followed-up until 18 of age. Hospital-based diagnoses categorized into main groups morbidities: cardiac, respiratory, infectious, neurological, malignancy, and metabolic. Incidence...

Abstract Although cesarean delivery (CD) has been linked to long-term health risks in singleton infants, the impact of mode on outcomes preterm twins remains underexplored. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary medical center Israel from 1991 2021, comparing vaginally delivered (VD) versus section, excluding cases with congenital malformations or perinatal deaths. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were used compare cumulative incidence, and Cox proportional hazards models...

Data regarding long-term impact offspring exposed to prenatal COVID-19 are still limited. Objective: To study association between infectious diseases, respiratory complications, developmental delay up age 1 year. Study design: A retrospective cohort was conducted. The included 19,050...

Summary Objective Newborns exhibit the lowest immediate respiratory morbidity rates when born following 39 completed weeks of gestation. We sought to determine whether early‐term delivery (37–38 + 6 weeks’ gestation) impacts on long‐term pediatric morbidity. Study design In this population‐based prospective cohort analysis, all term singleton deliveries occurring between 1991 and 2013 at a single tertiary medical center were included. Gestational age upon was sub‐divided into: early...
To investigate whether postterm pregnancy (≥42 0/7 weeks' gestation) increases the risk for adverse perinatal outcome.In this population based cohort study, all singleton deliveries occurring between 1991 and 2014 in a tertiary medical center were included. Pregnancy outcomes compared term (37 to 41 6/7 gestation). Preterm deliveries, unknown gestational age, congenital malformations, multiple gestations, excluded. The association was evaluated using general estimation equation (GEE)...
To identify risk factors for developing early postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and to examine whether vary according severity mode of delivery.
There is no established consensus on the safest or most beneficial delivery mode for preterm twins. We assessed associations between how premature twins were delivered and their long-term cardiovascular morbidity during childhood. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Soroka University Medical Center, only tertiary hospital in southern Israel, which provides obstetric services to whole country. Twins born 1991 2021 included, followed up until 18 years of age. Data collected from...
