The interactive effect of pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and isolated maternal hypothyroxinemia on macrosomia.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
CONTEXT Pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity (OWO) and isolated maternal hypothyroxinemia (IMH) may increase the risk of macrosomia, but little is known about their potential combined effect on macrosomia.

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Proteomic Profiling of Xenobiotic and Nutrient Transporters in Human Placenta of Different Gestational Ages

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The placenta serves a critical role in nutrient uptake and waste elimination for the developing fetus. The placenta is also responsible for the uptake and/or exchange of xenobiotics, including medications, between the maternal and fetal bloodstreams. An estimated 40–80% of women take medications or drugs during pregnancy.

Health and Economic Impacts of an Early Labor Induction Policy for High‐BMI Mothers

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We expand the literature on marginal returns to birth interventions by studying a common intervention: early induction of labor for a growing share of pregnancies, high‐Body Mass Index (BMI) women. We exploit Danish guidelines which recommend routine induction at 7 days after the expected due date instead of 10–13 days after for mothers with a

Epidemiology of Macrosomia in Korea: Growth and Development

Journal of Korean medical science, 2021
Background Macrosomia, as an infant with birth weight over 4 kg, can have several perinatal, and neonatal complications. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of macrosomia in Korea and to identify the growth and developmental outcomes and other ...

Gout in pregnancy: Obstetric and neonatal outcomes

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 349-355, April 2025.
Abstract Objective The pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by gout have yet to be evaluated in a population‐based study. We sought to evaluate the obstetric and neonatal outcomes in pregnant patients with gout using a national population database.

Optimal timing for induction of labor in normotensive women: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 365-371, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Labor induction is offered to reduce the risk of stillbirth at late term (41+0 to 41+6) but earlier induction in normotensive singleton pregnancies is supported by weak evidence. The aim of the present study was to investigate the optimal timing for induction in normotensive women.

The rising tide: Trends in induction of labor at term over a 5‐year period at a single centre

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 383-390, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Induction of labor (IOL) is a controversial topic in contemporary obstetric practice, with some suggesting that the increase in elective induction (eIOL) as a potential contributor to increasing cesarean delivery (CD) rates. The objectives of this single‐center study were to examine the rates of IOL, trends in indications for IOL ...
