Introduction: Hysterectomy has been suggested to increase the risk of urinary incontinence (UI), although evidence is controversial. In our population-based cohort study, we aimed to assess the independent effect of hysterectomy on the risk of de novo UI.
Material And Methods: This is a population-based cohort study on the women of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (n = 5889).
Study Question: Are there growth differences between singleton children born after frozen embryo transfer (FET), fresh embryo transfer (ET), and natural conception (NC)?
Summary Answer: Adolescent boys born after FET have a higher mean proportion and increased odds of overweight compared to those born after fresh ET.
What Is Known Already: Children born after FET have higher mean birthweights and an increased risk of large-for-gestational-age compared to those born after fresh ET and even NC. This raises questions about possible growth differences later in childhood.
Article Synopsis
- - Endometriosis is a common chronic condition affecting women of childbearing age, can be very serious, and is linked to a higher risk of certain cancers, specifically endometrioid and clear cell ovarian cancers.
- - Researchers studied a Finnish family with multiple cases of severe endometriosis, identifying three rare genetic variants (in genes FGFR4, NALCN, and NAV2) that could increase endometriosis risk, with the FGFR4 variant being potentially harmful.
- - The study highlights the need for more research on these genetic links to enhance understanding, diagnostics, and treatment options for endometriosis, particularly its association with high-grade serous carcinoma.
Objective: To investigate whether there is an association between endometriosis and nongynecological diseases in the general female population by age 50?
Design: A prospective cohort study.
Setting: Study participants with and without endometriosis were identified from a general population-based birth cohort. The analyzed data, linking to the national hospital discharge registers, spanned up to the age of 50 years.
Study Question: Is the health of singletons born after frozen embryo transfer (FET) comparable to that of singletons born after fresh embryo transfer (ET) until early adulthood?
Summary Answer: The health of singletons born after FET does not differ from that of singletons born after fresh ET.
What Is Known Already: The differences in perinatal outcomes of children born after FET and fresh ET are well known. FET is associated with an increased risk of large-for-gestational-age but diminished risks of preterm birth (PTB), small-for-gestational-age and decreased perinatal mortality compared to fresh ET.
