METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of first 2 (n = 156,475) 3 31,102) consecutive singleton pregnancies using 1989–1997 Missouri longitudinally linked data were performed. Relative risk (RR) was used to quantify associations risks pregnancies, after adjusting for several confounders. RESULTS: Rates 4.4 694) 7.9 1,243) per 1,000 births, respectively. The pregnancy a...
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), ischemic stroke, and myocardial infarction in transgender persons may be related to hormone use. Objective: To examine the incidence of these events a cohort persons.

COVID-19 vaccines are critical for ending the pandemic; however, current data about vaccination coverage and safety in pregnant women limited. Pregnant at increased risk severe illness death from compared with nonpregnant of reproductive age, adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth (1-4). eligible can receive any three available United States via Emergency Use Authorization.* Data Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a collaboration between CDC multiple integrated health systems, were...
COVID-19 vaccines are recommended during pregnancy to prevent severe maternal morbidity and adverse birth outcomes; however, vaccination coverage among pregnant women has been low (1). Concerns regarding vaccine safety a persistent barrier acceptance pregnancy. Previous studies of outcomes have limited by small sample size (2) or lack an unvaccinated comparison group (3). In this retrospective cohort study live births from eight Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) health care organizations, risks...
<h3>Importance</h3> Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a leading cause maternal morbidity and mortality. The impact applying recent guideline definitions for nonpregnant adults to pregnant women is unclear. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether reclassification hypertensive status using the 2017 American College Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) definition better identifies at risk preeclampsia or eclampsia adverse fetal/neonatal events compared with current...

DESIGN An ecologic study of the diagnosis ADHD using Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) health plan medical records. Rates were derived Poisson regression analyses after adjustments for potential confounders. SETTING California, Pasadena. PARTICIPANTS All children who received care at KPSC from January 1, 2001, through December 31, 2010 (n = 842...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that presence of preeclampsia, small for gestational age (SGA)-birth, and placental abruption in first pregnancy confers increased risk second pregnancy. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study entailing a case–crossover analysis was performed based on women who had two consecutive singleton live births (n=154,810) between 1989 1997 Missouri. Small defined as infants with birth weight below 10th centile age. Risk recurrence ischemic disease assessed...

ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the validity of health plan and birth certificate data for pregnancy research. Methods A retrospective study was conducted using administrative claims from 11 U.S. plans corresponding state departments. Diagnoses, drug dispensings, procedure codes were used to identify infant outcomes (cardiac defects, anencephaly, preterm birth, neonatal intensive care unit [NICU] admission) maternal diagnoses (asthma systemic lupus erythematosus [SLE]) recorded in live born...
