Placental Abruption and Perinatal Mortality: Abnormal Placentation and Spontaneous Abortion as Contributors to Left Truncation Bias

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Generally, studies in perinatal epidemiology restrict cohort entry to 20 weeks of gestation, but exposures and outcomes may occur earlier. This restriction may introduce left truncation bias. Objectives To examine the impact of left truncation bias when estimating the causal effect of abruption on perinatal mortality in the context ...

Disparities in Patterns of Preterm and Early Term Second Births Among Non‐Hispanic Black and White Mothers

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early term births (37–38 weeks), like preterm births (< 37 weeks) are associated with increased infant morbidity, mortality, and risk of future preterm births. While racial disparities in preterm births are well documented, longitudinal patterns of early term and preterm births by maternal race remain underexplored.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

First‐Trimester Serum n‐3/n‐6 Fatty Acids Predict Large‐for‐Gestational‐Age Risk: A Nested Case‐Control Study

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are critical for fetal development during pregnancy. This study evaluates the association between maternal serum n‐3 and n‐6 PUFAs in early pregnancy and the risk of large‐for‐gestational‐age (LGA) infants.

The Risk of Preterm Birth in Women With Periodontitis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 116-135, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Previous studies have explored the association between periodontitis and preterm birth (PTB), with conflicting results primarily due to variability in methodology, statistical analyses and the case definitions of both conditions. This study aimed to synthesise critically the available scientific evidence of observational studies that ...
