To evaluate whether angiogenic factor levels correlate with preeclampsia-related adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in women twin pregnancy, we studied 79 suspected preeclampsia the 3rd trimester. Antiangiogenic soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) proangiogenic placental growth (PlGF) were measured at presentation on an automated platform. An outcome was defined as hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets syndrome; disseminated intravascular coagulation; abruption;...
To assess intralevator botulinum toxin type A (Botox) injections for refractory myofascial pelvic pain with short tight floor.Retrospective cohort study of all women Botox injection (100-300 Units) from 2005 through 2010 pain. Primary outcomes were self-reported on palpation and symptom improvement. Secondary included postinjection complications a second injection. Pain was assessed during digital the floor muscles using scale 0 to 10, 10 being worst possible Follow-up occurred at less than...
Background: Prior studies have examined the association between fine particulate matter [PM ≤2.5μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5)] and fetal growth with either limited spatial or temporal resolution. Objectives: In this study, we PM2.5 exposure during pregnancy measures (ultrasound parameters birth weight) a cohort using spatiotemporally resolved Eastern Massachusetts, USA. Methods: We used ultrasound of biparietal (BPD), head circumference, femur length, abdominal circumference (AC),...
Abstract STUDY QUESTION Does preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) increase the likelihood of live birth among women undergoing autologous IVF who have fertilized embryos? SUMMARY ANSWER PGT-A is associated with a greater probability 35 years old and older are IVF. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Previous studies evaluating association between incidence may be prone to confounding by indication, as whose embryos undergo lower due other factors their increased risk (e.g. advancing age,...
Objective The incidence of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) has been increasing in the United States. In addition, there also an increase utilization vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF pregnancies confer increased risk adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes, but is limited data on whether associated with PAS. aim this study to assess association between Study Design This was a retrospective cohort deliveries from January 1, 2013 August 2018 at tertiary hospital Massachusetts. were compared...
A mediator is a factor that occurs after the exposure of interest, precedes outcome interest (i.e. between and outcome) associated with both on pathway outcome). Mediation analyses can be valuable in many reproductive health contexts, as mediation analysis help researchers to better identify, quantify understand underlying pathways association they are studying. The purpose this commentary introduce concept provide examples solidify understanding for valid discovery interpretation field medicine.
To analyze differences in the demographic and social factors associated with pregnancy-associated violent deaths due to homicide compared suicide by pregnancy timing.This was a retrospective cohort study using Centers for Disease Control Prevention's National Violent Death Reporting System from 2008 2019. We included females aged 15-44 years who died , defined as intentional self-harm, or homicide. Pregnancy-associated were those that occurred during within 1 year of pregnancy.Of 38,417...
Delays in surgery and their impact on survival papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is unclear. We sought to investigate the association between time patients with PTC.A total of 8170 Medicare beneficiaries PTC who underwent thyroidectomy were identified within Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results-Medicare linked data files 1999 2018. Disease-specific (DSS) overall (OS) estimated using Kaplan-Meir analysis, Cox proportional hazards models specified estimate survival.Among PTC, mean age 69.3...
This cross-sectional study examines data across 17 birthing hospitals before and after a policy change at Boston Medical Center in how reporting decisions are made cases of prenatal substance exposure.
Following decades of conflict, South Sudan gained independence from in 2011. Prolonged which included gender-based violence (GBV), exacerbated gender disparities. This study aimed to assess attitudes towards inequitable norms related GBV and estimate the frequency sampled communities Sudan. Applying a community-based participatory research approach, 680 adult male female household respondents were interviewed seven sites within 2009–2011. Sites selected based on program catchment area for...
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal hypertensive disease and other risk factors neonatal development of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).This was a retrospective case-control infants with NEC from 2008 2012. The primary exposure interest disease, which has been hypothesized put at for NEC. Other variables collected included demographics, pregnancy complications, medications hospital course. Data were abstracted medical records.Twenty-eight cases singleton...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence of postoperative venous thromboembolism after gynecologic surgery by mode incision. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study all patients who underwent from May 2006 to June 2015 at two tertiary care academic hospitals in Massachusetts. Billing and diagnosis codes were used identify surgeries cases thromboembolism. RESULTS: A total 43,751 surgical encounters among 37,485 individual noted during study. The overall is 0.2% for surgeries, 0.7%...
