Article Synopsis
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication, requiring glycaemic control to prevent negative outcomes for both the mother and baby, with about 25% needing medication like insulin or metformin.
- A study will compare the effectiveness and safety of metformin versus insulin in a diverse group of 1572 pregnant individuals needing treatment, tracking their health and their children's health for two years.
- Ethical approval has been obtained, and plans include publishing detailed results on the findings related to treatment experiences and safety outcomes.
Objective: Chorioamnionitis is associated with neonatal morbidity and infection-related mortality, but our ability to predict intrapartum infection is limited. We sought to derive and validate a prediction model for chorioamnionitis among patients presenting to labor and delivery at term.
Study Design: This was a planned secondary analysis of a large cohort study from 2014 through 2018 at an academic tertiary care center.
Background: Phthalates and their replacements have been implicated as developmental toxicants. Young children may be exposed to phthalates/replacements when using skin care products (SCPs).
Objectives: Our objective is to assess the associations between use of SCPs and children's urinary phthalate/replacement metabolite concentrations.
Objective: This study aimed to examine associations of fetal biometric and amniotic fluid measures with intrapartum primary cesarean delivery (PCD) and develop prediction models for PCD based on ultrasound parameters and maternal factors.
Study Design: Secondary analysis of the National Institute of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Fetal Growth Studies-singleton cohort (2009-2013) including patients with uncomplicated pregnancies and intent to deliver vaginally at ≥37 weeks. The estimated fetal weight, individual biometric parameters, fetal asymmetry measurements, and amniotic fluid single deepest vertical pocket assessed at the final scan (mean 37.
