Context: Women achieving pregnancy with infertility treatment may be at increased risk of stillbirth and neonatal death.
Objective: To assess associations between clomiphene citrate (CC) use and perinatal death.
Design: Whole of population data linkage cohort.
Background: Disease modifying treatments (DMTs) for multiple sclerosis (MS) have varying levels of teratogenic potential, but whether this influences DMT prescribing patterns by sex or concurrent use of hormonal contraception in women is unknown. This study aimed to examine patterns in dispensing of DMTs in women and men with MS, and hormonal long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) overlap at DMT initiation among women.
Methods: Population cohort study using 10% random sample of the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme dispensing data (2007-2021).
Objectives: To examine patterns in the dispensing of category X medications (Therapeutic Goods Administration categorisation system for prescribing medicines in pregnancy) to women aged 15-49 years in Australia during 2008-2021, and patterns of concurrent use of hormonal long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and other hormonal contraception.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study; analysis of 10% random sample of national Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme dispensing data.
Participants, Setting: Women aged 15-49 years dispensed category X medications, Australia, 1 January 2013 - 31 December 2021.
Aims: To describe the prevalence of use of breastmilk and explore demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes associated with breastmilk provision in infants born <29 weeks' gestational age in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of data from a randomised controlled trial, which enrolled 1273 infants in 13 neonatal units across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore from 2012 to 2015. Infants were classified as formula-fed, donor milk-fed or mother's milk-fed at their first enteral feed and separately, at hospital discharge.
Objective: To predict birth weight at various potential gestational ages of delivery based on data routinely available at the first antenatal visit.
Design: Individual participant data meta-analysis.
Data Sources: Individual participant data of four cohorts (237 228 pregnancies) from the International Prediction of Pregnancy Complications (IPPIC) network dataset.
