Importance Associations between prenatal SARS-CoV-2 exposure and neurodevelopmental outcomes have substantial public health relevance. A previous study found no association infection parent-reported infant outcomes, but standardized observational assessments are needed to confirm this finding. Objective To assess whether mild or asymptomatic maternal vs during pregnancy is associated with differences at ages 5 11 months. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort included infants of mothers...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of administering postpartum heparin-based pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis on incidence venous thromboembolism (VTE) and complications. METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study all individuals delivering at more than 20 weeks gestation four U.S. hospitals from 2016 to 2019. Individuals with personal history VTE or thrombophilia, an antepartum diagnosis VTE, receiving therapeutic anticoagulation were excluded. The exposure prophylaxis...
National rates of trial labor after cesarean (TOLAC) have increased, but the risk uterine rupture remains. Clinical practice- and patient-level changes also occurred in past decade, an evaluation contemporary is needed. Using natality files available Vital Statistics System from 2010 to 2022, we conducted a repeated cross-sectional analysis evaluate U.S. trends perinatal outcomes among individuals undertaking TOLAC. Temporal were characterized using joinpoint regression, with average annual...
This study examines the assertion that culture influences conflict style preference. Data were gathered in India (n = 657), Ireland 311), Thailand 232), and United States 592). Conflict was measured using Oetzel's Style Measure. Results confirm high-context nations (India Thailand) prefer avoiding obliging styles more than low-context (Ireland States), whereas dominating nations. However, results of this are contrary to previous research compromising do nations, mixed their level preference...
To evaluate the association between prophylactic ureteral stent placement at time of hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum and genitourinary injury.We conducted a retrospective cohort study patients with who underwent two referral centers from 2001 to 2021. The exposure was placement. primary outcome, injury, composite bladder or vesicovaginal fistula. Secondary outcomes included components outcome. We evaluated differences groups using χ 2 t test. in we reported odds ratios (ORs)...
BackgroundLittle is known about post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) after acquiring during pregnancy. We aimed to evaluate the association between pregnancy compared with outside and development PASC.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study from Researching COVID Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative Patient-Centred Clinical Research Network (PCORnet) used electronic health record (EHR) data 19 U.S. systems. Females aged 18–49 years lab-confirmed March 2020 through June 2022...
Abstract Background Data about the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among pregnant individuals are needed to inform infection-prevention guidance and counseling for this population. Methods We prospectively followed a cohort during August 2020–March 2021 at 3 US sites. The primary outcomes were incidence rates any SARS-CoV-2 infection, symptomatic asymptomatic pregnancy periods circulation. Participants self-collected weekly midturbinate nasal...
The vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) delivery rate was last reported as 13.8% in 2019. However, contemporary trends attempted and successful trial of labor (TOLAC) among individuals with prior have not been evaluated. We performed a repeated cross-sectional analysis singleton, cephalic, term deliveries history one or two the National Vital Statistics System from 2010 to 2020. Temporal TOLAC, well VBAC, were characterized using joinpoint regression. Overall, 4,277,800 included. Attempted...
After the global cesarean delivery rate nearly doubled between 2000 and 2015, deliveries now account for one third of births in United States. Although rates have plateaued, high national has garnered criticism from both lay academic communities because it not been associated with improvements maternal or neonatal outcomes. Efforts are underway to lower through implementation hospital-level guidelines. However, that optimizes outcomes is known. Defining a perinatal reduces morbidity seems...
In Brief The incidence of unplanned peripartum hysterectomy is increasing nationwide, which may reflect an increase in placenta accreta spectrum disorders.
Objectives Women with HIV infection are mainly of reproductive age and need safe, effective affordable contraception to avoid unintended pregnancies. The aim this study was evaluate contraceptive use pregnancies in population Switzerland. Methods A self‐report anonymous questionnaire on methods, adherence them, completed by women included the Swiss Cohort Study ( SHCS ) between November 2013 June 2014.

To evaluate fixed compared with weight-based enoxaparin dosing to achieve prophylactic anti-Xa levels after cesarean delivery.Individuals meeting institutional criteria for thromboprophylaxis delivery were randomly allocated (40 mg daily body mass index [BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height meters squared] lower than 40; 40 every 12 hours BMI or higher) (0.5 mg/kg hours) dosing. Enoxaparin was initiated during inpatient hospitalization and continued at discharge 14 days....
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with increased risk for macro- and micro-thrombi. Consensus guidelines recommend use of thromboprophylaxis in nonobstetric patients SARS-CoV-2 admitted to the hospital. National-level studies evaluating venous thromboembolism (VTE) among pregnant postpartum individuals without have not been completed. We performed a retrospective cohort study aged 18 years or older delivering at more than 20 weeks gestation...
Objective Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is intended to assess well-being during labor. Our objective was test the hypothesis that findings of a category I tracing at any time in 60 minutes prior delivery would rule out neonatal acidemia. Study Design This planned secondary analysis single-center prospective cohort study 8,580 singleton pregnancies undergoing labor with nonanomalous infants term. Monitoring reviewed by obstetric research nurses 10-minute intervals delivery. The primary...
Objectives: While percutaneous umbilical cord blood sampling (PUBS) and intrauterine transfusion (IUT) are the standards of care for management significant fetal anemia, neonatal complications resultant from these procedures remain poorly understood. Thus, we aimed to compare outcomes patients undergoing gestational age- sex-matched controls with no indication not PUBS.Methods: This was a retrospective matched cohort study at single institution 2000 2017. Clinical demographic data were...
Marijuana (MJ) use is associated with adverse effects on fetal growth. We aimed to investigate the timing of suboptimal growth onset in MJ-exposed pregnancies. In addition, we explore relationship between MJ-exposure and both abnormal uterine artery (UtA) Doppler parameters small for gestational age (SGA).This was a secondary analysis prospective multicenter cohort that enrolled nulliparous individuals delivering non-anomalous fetuses beyond 20 weeks' gestation. exposure ascertained by...
