Stillbirth in Australia 2: Working together to reduce stillbirth in Australia: The Safer Baby Bundle initiative

, 2020
The rate of late gestation\ua0stillbirth\ua0in Australia is unacceptably high. Up to one third of stillbirths are preventable, particularly beyond 28 weeks’ gestation. The aim of this second paper in the Stillbirth in Australia series is to highlight one

Delayed Recognition of Maternal G6PD Heterozygous Status Across Prenatal and Newborn Care Interfaces

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common red blood cell enzymatic disorder worldwide. Although many heterozygotes are asymptomatic, affected neonates have an increased risk for hyperbilirubinemia and related complications.

Maternal region of birth and stillbirth in Victoria, Australia 2000-2011: A retrospective cohort study of Victorian perinatal data.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundThere is growing evidence from high-income countries that maternal country of birth is a risk factor for stillbirth. We aimed to examine the association between maternal region of birth and stillbirth between 2000 and 2011 inclusive in Victoria,

Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...

Challenges in developing prediction models for stillbirth

, 2020
Stillbirth is a major global public health problem, but in the absence of a robust method to predict a woman's individualized risk of stillbirth, identifying women at increased risk remains a challenge.

Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...

Historical birth records from 1896 to 1944 from the Basel maternity hospital, Switzerland, reveal significant obstetric selection pressures

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality have declined dramatically during the last century. Historical data are therefore important sources to study the evolutionary selection pressures related to childbirth and how they have fluctuated over time.
