Practice patterns in the administration of late preterm antenatal corticosteroidsAJOG Global Reports at a Glance

AJOG Global Reports, 2021
BACKGROUND: Given the unpredictable nature of preterm birth and the short-term impact of antenatal corticosteroids on neonatal outcomes, optimal timing of antenatal corticosteroid administration (2–7 days from expected birth) remains challenging ...

Maternal Contributions to Preterm Delivery [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2009
Preterm delivery (PTD) is a complex trait with a significant familial component. However, no specific inheritance patterns have been established. The authors examined the contribution of PTDs in both the woman's family and her partner's family to her risk of PTD.

Population pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin in breastmilk in patients with rifampicin‐resistant tuberculosis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Levofloxacin is a widely used antibiotic included in rifampicin‐resistant tuberculosis (RR‐TB) treatment. Data describing levofloxacin concentrations in breastmilk and infant exposure are limited. We analysed data from two South African studies of breastfeeding women receiving levofloxacin (750–1000 mg daily) for RR‐TB.

Histologic Chorioamnionitis and Preterm Delivery [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2007
Inconsistent findings linking placental histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) and preterm delivery may result from variations in HCA definition, population studied, and exclusion criteria. This analysis from the 1998-2004 Pregnancy Outcomes and Community Health Study (five Michigan communities) includes the first 1,053 subcohort women (239 preterm, 814 ...

Recurrent preterm delivery following twin versus singleton preterm delivery: A retrospective cohort

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2023
AbstractObjectiveThe main risk factor for preterm delivery (PTD; <37 gestational weeks) is having a history of PTD. The aim of this research was to compare the risk for recurrent PTD following twin versus singleton gestation PTD.MethodsA retrospective population‐based cohort study was performed, including all women who had two consecutive ...

Population pharmacokinetic modelling of amoxicillin in human breast milk—A contribution from the ConcePTION project

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Amoxicillin, a widely used β‐lactam antibiotic, requires improved pharmacokinetic characterization during breastfeeding. This study used a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) approach to model amoxicillin concentrations in breast milk, identify variability sources and estimate infant exposure, applying worst‐case scenarios.

Second trimester inflammatory and metabolic markers in women delivering preterm with and without preeclampsia. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectiveInflammatory and metabolic pathways are implicated in preterm birth and preeclampsia. However, studies rarely compare second trimester inflammatory and metabolic markers between women who deliver preterm with and without preeclampsia.Study ...

Tacrolimus exposure during pregnancy in kidney and liver transplantation recipients: A comparison between whole blood and plasma concentration‐to‐dose ratios

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Tacrolimus monitoring is generally performed in whole blood (WB). Most (>85%) of circulating tacrolimus is bound to red blood cells. During pregnancy, WB monitoring might be suboptimal because of physiological changes including increased plasma volume and decreased haematocrit.

Opium use during pregnancy and risk of preterm delivery: A population-based cohort study.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundUse of narcotic or "recreational" drugs has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm delivery. However, the associations might be confounded by other factors related to high-risk behaviours.

Total matrix metalloproteinase-8 serum levels in patients labouring preterm and patients with threatened preterm delivery.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010
Preterm labour and prematurity are still a main cause of perinatal morbidity nowadays. The aim of our study was to assess the role of MMP-8 as a predictive marker of preterm delivery. Four groups of patients were involved to the study: I - pregnant women
