Abstract Background National estimates of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) serious mental illness (SMI) among delivering women over time, as well associated outcomes costs, are lacking. The prevalence from 2006 to 2015 were estimated risk adverse obstetric outcomes, including severe maternal morbidity mortality (SMMM), delivery costs. Methods study was a serial, cross-sectional analysis Inpatient Sample data. PMAD SMI healthcare utilization, costs using adjusted weighted logistic...
There is growing interest in the use of microbial-seeding interventions to mitigate impacts prenatal antibiotics, C-section, and lack breastfeeding on mother-child microbe sharing. However, relative importance maternal vaginal vs. fecal microbiota this process unclear. Analyzing 16S rRNA sequences from five US birth cohorts, we found that became more similar as pregnancy progressed, both niches influenced child's microbiota. The contribution increased when sampling occurred later gestation....
CONTEXT Women with disabilities experience a higher rate of adverse pregnancy outcomes than women without disabilities. Preventing or delaying when that is the best choice for woman critical strategy to reducing pregnancy‐related disparities, yet little known about current contraceptive use among METHODS A cohort 545 reproductive‐age physical (i.e., difficulty walking, climbing, dressing bathing) sensory vision hearing) was identified from participants in 2011–2013 National Survey Family...
Abstract Using pooled vaginal microbiota data from pregnancy cohorts (N = 683 participants) in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program, we analyzed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences to identify clinical and demographic host factors that associate with structure both within across diverse cohorts. PERMANOVA models, assessed associated community pregnancy, examined whether were conserved populations, tested independent combined effects of state types (CSTs) using...
To assess the public health impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, investigators from National Institutes Health Environmental influences Child Outcomes (ECHO) research program developed Pandemic-Related Traumatic Stress Scale (PTSS). Based
The relationship between the vaginal microbiota, high-risk human papillomavirus infection, and abnormal cervical cytology has not been well characterized. Our objective was to characterize microbiota in a stratified random sample of women from population-based study Appalachia.We analyzed 308 Community Access, Resources Education: Project 3 across 16 clinics Ohio West Virginia. Using Illumina MiSeq sequencing 16S rRNA gene amplicons, we characterized among (I) 109 randomly chosen with (i.e.,...
Objective We sought to evaluate the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on perinatal outcomes while accounting for maternal depression or perceived stress and describe COVID-specific stressors, including changes in prenatal care, across specific time periods pandemic. Study Design Data dyads from 41 cohorts National Institutes Health Environmental influences Child Outcomes Program (N = 2,983) were used compare birth before during (n 2,355), a partially overlapping sample...
Deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) women are at a higher risk adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes compared with other women. However, little is known about postpartum among DHH The objective was to compare the hospitalizations for non-DHH leading indications admissions.
Risk factors for vulvodynia continue to be elusive. We evaluated the association between past environmental exposures and presence of vulvodynia.The history 28 lifetime was queried in longitudinal population-based Woman-to-Woman Health Study on 24-month follow-up survey. Relationships these case status were assessed using multinomial logistic regression.Overall, 1585 women completed survey, required covariate responses, questions assessment. Screening positive as a associated with...
Background: State worksite breastfeeding statutes are thought to play a role in increasing rates of duration, which remain below Healthy People 2010 goals. As 24 states including the District Columbia had such statutes. Of these only 18 required both break time and site. This preliminary analysis assessed if infants born with longer duration. Methods: Using 2009 National Immunization Survey we analyzed comparing duration at 6 months type statute place, while adjusting for year enacted other...

Purpose: The vaginal microbiome is dynamic, typically shifting during pregnancy toward enrichment of Lactobacillus to support maintenance. Proliferation may be absent among women with preterm births (PTBs). We sought identify robust microbiota signatures along host factors that predicted PTB across diverse populations.Methods: meta-analyzed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence data from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Cohort. classified community state types (CSTs) and...
