<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Pre-eclampsia is a serious clinical gestational disorder occurring in 3%–5% of all human pregnancies and characterized by endothelial dysfunction vascular complications. Offspring born pre-eclamptic are reported to exhibit deficits cognitive function, higher incidence depression, increased susceptibility stroke. However, no brain imaging reports exist on these offspring. We aimed assess structural anatomy 7- 10-year-old offspring compared with matched...
Objective To prospectively examine whether children of women with a pregnancy affected by severe pre-eclampsia (PE), compared to without PE-affected pregnancy, have differences in neurodevelopmental performance up 5 years age. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Tertiary care centre. Participants Women were recruited following pregnancy. After each PE participant was recruited, the next normotensive woman prior history and matched parity, maternal age race invited participate. chronic...
The risk of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is increased in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors, with the prevalence depending on diagnosis, treatment, patient factors. Prior studies are limited by sample size type included. objective this study was to assess POI female AYA survivors non-gynecologic cancers, using a population-based approach.This retrospective cohort comprises 21,666 females, 15-39 years old, diagnosed single Ontario, Canada from 1995 2015. Through health...
<h3>Background:</h3> Endometriosis, a prevalent condition among females of reproductive age, may be associated with increased risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) through chronic inflammation and early menopause. The objective this study was to estimate the association between endometriosis subsequent CVD. <h3>Methods:</h3> We conducted population-based cohort using administrative health data from Ontario residents 1993 2015. compared incidence CVD outcomes 2 age-matched without endometriosis....
To evaluate the association between endometriosis and adverse pregnancy outcomes.Population-based retrospective cohort study using linked universal health databases through ICES Ontario.All singleton pregnancies with an estimated date of confinement October 2006 February 2014.Endometriosis was determined based on a surgical and/or medical diagnosis (defined as in-hospital admission or surgery code International Classification Diseases [ICD]9-617 ICD10-N80 2 consults billed ICD9-617).The...
Previous studies on the risk of childhood autism spectrum disorder (ASD) following fertility treatment did not account for infertility itself or mediating effect obstetrical and neonatal factors.
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability among women, with more than half occurring in individuals hypertension. New blood pressure criteria for diagnosis hypertension from American College Cardiology/American Heart Association recognize that there no specific threshold associated vascular disease. We performed a secondary analysis two published postpartum databases (the Pre-Eclampsia Emerging Team [PE-NET] cohort Maternal Health Clinic [MHC] cohort)...
Background: Breastfeeding is associated with lower cardiovascular (CV) risk over the long-term, however, less known about its immediate effects among women a recent complicated pregnancy. The objective of this study to investigate short-term breastfeeding on markers disease ∼6 months after pregnancy by hypertensive disorder, gestational diabetes, intrauterine growth restriction, abruption, or preterm birth. Materials and Methods: Our cross-sectional analysis includes 622 seen at 6 postpartum...
Importance A publicly funded fertility program was introduced in Ontario, Canada, 2015 to increase access treatment. For vitro fertilization (IVF), the mandated an elective single-embryo transfer (eSET) policy. However, ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination (OI/IUI)—2 other common forms of treatment—were more difficult regulate this manner. Furthermore, prior epidemiologic studies only assessed fetuses at birth did not account for potential fetal reductions that may have been...
Use of a gestational ("surrogate") carrier is increasingly common. Risk for maternal and neonatal adversity largely unknown in this birthing population.
BACKGROUND: To test the association between a behavior-change, risk-reduction intervention and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk scores in women with previous hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). METHODS: We completed prospective, single-arm comparative pre–post study recent HDP. The was CardioPrevent Postpartum Program, which involves health behavior-change coaches who counseled participants 17 sessions over 12 months regarding behavioral changes (smoking, nutrition, physical...
