Quantifying patient and neighborhood risks for stillbirth and preterm birth in Philadelphia with a Bayesian spatial model [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Stillbirth and preterm birth are major public health challenges. Using a Bayesian spatial model, we quantified patient-specific and neighborhood risks of stillbirth and preterm birth in the city of Philadelphia. We linked birth data from electronic health records at Penn Medicine hospitals from 2010 to 2017 with census-tract-level data from the United ...

Bayesian Auxiliary Variable Model for Birth Records Data with Qualitative and Quantitative Responses [PDF]
Journal of Statisitcal Computation and Simulation. 2021 91(16),
3283-3303, 2020 Many applications involve data with qualitative and quantitative responses. When there is an association between the two responses, a joint model will provide improved results than modeling them separately. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian method to jointly model such data.

Predicting preeclampsia from a history of preterm birth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 To assess whether women with a history of preterm birth, independent on the presence of prelabour rupture of the membranes (PROM) and growth deviation of the newborn, are more likely to develop preeclampsia with preterm or preterm birth in a subsequent ...

Epidemiology of preterm birth [PDF]
BMJ, 2004 Preterm birth is a major challenge in perinatal health care. Most perinatal deaths occur in preterm infants, and preterm birth is an important risk factor for neurological impairment and disability. Preterm birth not only affects infants and their families—providing care for preterm infants, who may spend several months in hospital, has increasing cost

Characterization of methylation profiles in spontaneous preterm birth placental villous tissue.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Preterm birth is a global public health crisis which results in significant neonatal and maternal mortality. Yet little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms of idiopathic spontaneous preterm birth, and we have few diagnostic markers for adequate ...

Reproductive Health, 2023 Background Seasonal patterns of preterm birth were identified in previous studies, but the effect of conception season on preterm birth has not been extensively studied. Based on the notion that the etiological roots of preterm birth lie in the beginning

The Linacre Quarterly, 2012 Preterm birth plagues modern society, with over three million deaths worldwide annually. When combined with low birth weight, preterm births are estimated to cost over one hundred million disability-adjusted life years. In the U.S., the low birth weight (newborn less than 2,500 gms) delivery rate in 2002 increased to 7.8 percent from 6.8 percent in ...

The local health impacts of natural resource booms
Health Economics, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 462-500, February 2023., 2023 Abstract This paper uses novel micro‐data on natural resources and administrative health data in Brazil to study how economic booms in minerals affect health at birth. By implementing a reduced‐form estimation of shift‐share research designs, the identification strategy relies on the exogeneity of global commodity prices to municipality‐specific health

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Increased liver content of DHA‐derived small lipid autacoids (i.e resolvin D1 and maresin 1) associates with enhanced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid β‐oxidation and bioenergetic metabolic flux. These features provide hepatic protection from steatotic, pro‐inflammatory and fibrogenic insults.
