Abstract: Home birth has attracted a great deal of attention of late, culminating in a meta‐analysis to assess its risks for mother and baby. Mothers were estimated to be 2.6 times more likely to die and babies 3 times more likely to die from a planned home birth than from a planned hospital birth. The actual data on which these estimates were based demonstrate that meta‐analysis can be developed...
Abstract: Background: Preterm birth is the principal risk factor for neonatal morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between antenatal depressive symptoms and preterm birth.
Methods: The study included a national sample of 2,904 pregnant women who were recruited at their first booked visit to antenatal clinics in Sweden. Data on depressive symptoms,...
ABSTRACT: In recent years nativity or nation of origin has become the focus of numerous pregnancy outcome studies. A recent research synthesis found that, although considerable heterogeneity in study designs hinders the development of broad generalizations concerning differences in pregnancy outcomes, migrant women were more likely to have better low‐birthweight and preterm birth outcomes than women...
BackgroundThis study compares outcomes at a hospital‐linked, physician‐led, birthing center to a traditional hospital labor and delivery service.
MethodsUsing de‐identified electronic medical records, a retrospective cohort design was employed to evaluate 32,174 singleton births during 1998–2005.
ResultsCompared with hospital service, birth care center delivery was associated with a lower rate of...
Background
Decreased sensation of fetal movements (DFM) is a common maternal complaint. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association between DFM and pregnancy outcome in singleton gestation at term according to parity.
Methods
A retrospective cohort study of singleton pregnancies at term between 2008 and 2013. Eligibility was limited to women carrying a fetus with no known structural or chromosomal...
Background
This study investigates maternal and perinatal outcomes for women with low‐risk pregnancies laboring in free‐standing birth centers compared with laboring in a hospital maternity unit in a large New Zealand health district.
Methods
The study used observational data from 47 381 births to women with low‐risk pregnancies in South Auckland maternity facilities 2003‐2010. Adjusted odds ratios...
Background
In a previous study, we showed that the obstetric complication rate after in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy was 40%. The main objective of our study was to determine maternal prognosis factors that influence the IVF pregnancy outcome.
Methods
We conducted an observational retrospective monocentric study between January 2014 and January 2018. Pregnancy over 22 gestational weeks (GW)...
Background
Light pollution (LP) is a ubiquitous environmental agent that affects more than 80% of the world's population. This large nationwide cohort study evaluates whether exposure to LP can influence obstetric outcomes.
Methods
We analyzed Austrian birth registry data on 717 113 cases between 2008 and 2016 and excluded cases involving day‐time delivery, <23 + 0 gestational weeks, and/or...
