Prediction of Spontaneous Preterm Birth

, 2002
Preterm birth is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. It is a major goal in obstetrics to lower the incidence of spontaneous preterm birth (SPB) and related neonatal morbidity and mortality. One of the principal objectives is to discover early markers that would allow us to identify subgroups of patients at high risk of SPB and ...

Rare vasculitis types and obstetric and neonatal outcomes – A population‐based study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Vasculitis is an infrequent pathology among reproductive‐aged women. While data exists regarding pregnancy outcomes in the more common vasculitis subtypes, data is limited regarding these outcomes in rare vasculitis subtypes. We aimed to compare pregnancy and perinatal outcomes between women who suffered from rare types of vasculitis

Temperature and heat‐load exposure effects on preterm births: Insights from a population‐based study using distributed lag non‐linear models

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Preterm birth presents a substantial health, psychological, and economic burden worldwide. Environmental factors, including temperature fluctuations, are known to influence the risk of preterm birth. This study aimed to investigate the association between high temperatures and heat load and preterm births. Methods Using a time‐series

Severe maternal and neonatal morbidity or mortality in forceps versus cesarean birth in the second stage of labor: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Approximately one in four first‐time mothers reach the second stage of labor but cannot have a spontaneous vaginal birth, necessitating an intervention such as forceps to facilitate birth. Objective This study synthesizes evidence comparing severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and neonatal morbidity or mortality (SNMM) following forceps ...

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 ...

Biomarkers associated with cardiovascular disease in women with spontaneous preterm birth: A case–control study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica
Introduction Women with spontaneous preterm birth have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Studies suggest potential pathophysiological mechanisms in common, but whether these could be identified by measurement of soluble ...

Hormone therapy (HT) in women with premature ovarian insufficiency or early menopause: Time to think of a new paradigm for healthy aging. A joint FIGO and IMS position paper

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and early menopause (EM) affect millions of women worldwide. Compared with normal menopause, they confer a longer duration of estrogen deficiency and are associated not only with a shorter lifespan, but with a reduced healthspan, owing to an increased risk of cardiovascular, skeletal, cognitive and ...
