Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the environmental endocrine‐disrupting chemicals used widely in common consumer products. There an increasing concern about human exposure to BPA, particularly fetuses, due potential adverse effects related estrogenic activity BPA. In assessing it essential have a sensitive, accurate, and specific analytical method, for low BPA levels complex sample matrices. this study, we developed validated robust liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‐MS) method...
Impaired or suboptimal fetal growth is associated with an increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality. By utilizing readily available clinical data on the relative size fetus at multiple points in pregnancy, including delivery, future epidemiological research can improve our understanding impacts maternal, fetal, environmental factors different windows during pregnancy. This study presents mean standard deviation ultrasound measurements from a clinically representative US population...
Abstract Objective Knee range of motion (ROM) at discharge from acute care is used as a clinical indicator following total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. This study aimed to assess the relevance this by determining whether ROM predicts longer‐term and patient‐reported pain function. Methods A 176 TKR recipients were prospectively followed after care. Outcomes assessed included Oxford score post rehabilitation 1 year Discharge other patient factors identified priori potential predictors in...
In Brief Toxicology testing on obstetric units may unfairly target traditionally marginalized groups, and evidence-based guidelines for perinatal toxicology are urgently needed.
A rising incidence in maternal drug use during pregnancy has led to a concomitant rise neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome. Despite evidence that affects all demographic groups equally, authors of recent studies have suggested minority women are tested for more than their counterparts. In this study, we aimed assess whether toxicology testing neonates was associated with characteristics.Retrospective cohort study reviewing charts born at an urban academic center between January 1, 2018, and...
Fetal growth restriction is a strong risk factor for stillbirth. We compared the performance of three fetal curves - customized, ultrasound (Hadlock) and population in identifying abnormally grown fetuses at stillbirth.We performed case-control study singleton stillbirths (delivered between 2000 2010) one center. Four liveborn controls were randomly identified each Ultrasound-estimated weight within 1 month prior to delivery was used calculate percentiles fetus using norms. Sensitivities...
Objective To estimate the association between antenatal depression and spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) relative to medically indicated (MPTB). Study Design This was a secondary analysis of nested case–control study (PTB). The exposure clinical diagnosis depression. outcome PTB at <37 weeks classified as SPTB (spontaneous labor, premature rupture membranes, placental abruption, cervical shortening); MPTB (preeclampsia intrauterine growth restriction). Multinomial logistic regression...
OBJECTIVE: The nine-valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccine is highly effective at preventing cervical cancer, yet U.S. vaccination rates remain low. objective of this study was to evaluate integration 9vHPV inpatient into routine postpartum care. METHODS: Obstetrics professionals an academic urban referral center received emailed protocol outlining a novel program inpatients aged 26 years or younger. A retrospective evaluation from March 2021 2022 conducted implementation....
We aimed to examine the relationship of sociodemographic variables with racial/ethnic disparities in unplanned cesarean births a large academic hospital system. Secondarily, we investigated these differences delivery indication, timing, length second stage and operative delivery.
