Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is becoming more common during pregnancy, affecting around 4% of healthy pregnancies, but the specific causes are not well understood.
- This study focused on whether the type of delivery (vaginal vs. caesarean) impacts the risk of CVD-related issues within a year post-delivery for women without prior heart problems.
- Findings revealed that women who had caesarean deliveries experienced higher rates of CVD readmissions compared to those with vaginal deliveries, with a significant adjusted hazard ratio indicating a greater risk associated with caesarean births.
Objective: Evidence is inconsistent regarding grand multiparity and its association with adverse obstetric outcomes. Few large American cohorts of grand multiparas have been studied. We assessed if increasing parity among grand multiparas is associated with increased odds of adverse perinatal outcomes.

Our objective was to describe cerebral palsy (CP) incidence stratified by gestational age (GA) groups within a group at risk for spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). This is a secondary analysis of a large study of magnesium for neuroprotection. Nonanomalous, singleton gestations complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) or preterm labor (PTL) were included.

Materials And Methods: A large administrative database was used to determine the risk of HIT in hospitalized obstetric patients who received unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).
