Maternal obesity is associated with increased risks of gestational diabetes, large-for-gestational-age infants, preterm birth, congenital malformations, and stillbirth. The these outcomes among women who have undergone bariatric surgery are unclear.We identified 627,693 singleton pregnancies in the Swedish Medical Birth Register from 2006 through 2011, which 670 occurred had previously for whom presurgery weight was documented. For each pregnancy after surgery, up to five control were...

Importance Since 2004-2007, national guidelines and recommendations have been developed for the management of extremely preterm births in Sweden. If how more uniform has affected infant survival is unknown. Objective To compare infants born during 2004-2007 with 2014-2016.

Abstract Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide. Changes in PTB rates, ranging from −90% to +30%, were reported many countries following early COVID-19 pandemic response measures (‘lockdowns’). It unclear whether this variation reflects real differences lockdown impacts, or perhaps stillbirth rates and/or study designs. Here we present interrupted time series and meta-analyses using harmonized data 52 million births 26 countries, 18 which had representative...

Importance Several studies suggest that acetaminophen (paracetamol) use during pregnancy may increase risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children. If true, this would have substantial implications for management pain and fever pregnancy.

BACKGROUNDEndometriosis, a common gynaecological disease, is characterized by local and systemic inflammation, which may cause infertility consequently, increased utilization of assisted reproduction technology (ART). We aimed to estimate the risk for preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age (SGA) stillbirth, Caesarean section, pre-eclampsia antepartal haemorrhage among women with previous diagnosis endometriosis compared no endometriosis.
Some causes of stillbirth may also lead to fetuses that are small for gestational age (have a low birth weight with respect their age) or delivered preterm (before 37 weeks gestation). It is not known whether the previous small-for-gestational-age infant increases subsequent risk stillbirth.
Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and infant mortality morbidity worldwide. Both Swedish snuff cigarette smoke include nicotine, but combustion products accompany only smoking. The aims this study were to compare the effects smoking on preeclampsia risk estimate whether changes in tobacco habits during pregnancy affect developing term preeclampsia.
