Article Synopsis
- Sleep disordered breathing is common during pregnancy and may lead to complications for mothers and abnormal fetal growth, although human data on growth outcomes is mixed.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 63 studies involving over 67,000 pregnant women showed that habitual snoring and obstructive sleep apnea increased the risk for larger than average newborns, while obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed with international codes was linked to smaller than average newborns.
- The findings suggest that the type of sleep disorder and diagnostic method matters in understanding the impact on fetal growth, and further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and potential treatments.
Preterm birth is associated with alteration in corticothalamic development, which underlies poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. Our hypothesis was that preterm neonates with CHD would demonstrate abnormal thalamic microstructure when compared to critically ill neonates without CHD. A secondary aim was to identify any association between thalamic microstructural abnormalities and perioperative clinical variables.
