Developing a social vulnerability index for antenatal care screening of risk for adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes

Abstract Objective Social determinants of health influence maternal and perinatal outcomes, yet tools to operationalize these risks in clinical care remain scarce. We aimed to study social determinants in Brazilian pregnant women and develop a social vulnerability index (SVI) that could correlate with pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.

Maternal overweight and obesity during pregnancy and sex‐dependent dysregulation of the materno‐fetal stress axis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Maternal obesity and excess gestational weight gain (GWG) are linked to adverse perinatal outcomes, potentially via disruption of the maternal–fetal stress axis. Placental HSD11B2 protects the fetus from excess glucocorticoids and may influence fetal programming during maternal metabolic stress.

Gender‐based violence during pregnancy and adverse perinatal outcomes in an urban low‐ and middle‐income setting: A prospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the association between gender‐based violence (GBV) assessed in early pregnancy and adverse perinatal outcomes using relative and absolute effect measures in an urban low‐ and middle‐income setting. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study including 3890 singleton pregnancies recruited from two public healthcare ...

Association between maternal pre‐pregnancy body mass index and maternal and neonatal outcomes in Saudi Arabia: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) of the mother before pregnancy and the growth of weight during pregnancy are both important perinatal health determinants. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between the maternal BMI and obstetric and ...
