Evaluating the Effect of Maternal Opioid Maintenance Dose on the NOWS-COS Outcome Criteria: A Pilot Study.

This retrospective cohort study included 77 mother-infant dyads that delivered term pregnancies at a single tertiary care institution. The primary objective was to investigate whether maternal dose of opioid maintenance therapy during pregnancy affects infant outcomes. All infants had prenatal exposure to opioid maintenance therapies.

The association between postpartum depressive symptoms and contraception.

Background: Postpartum depression affects 10% to 20% of birthing people and is associated with changes in healthcare use. Little is known about the association between postpartum depressive symptoms and choice to use contraception; however, both untreated or undertreated depression and short interpregnancy intervals pose substantial perinatal health risks.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether postpartum depressive symptoms are associated with changes in decisions to use any method of contraception.

The association between adverse childhood experiences and perinatal depression symptom trajectories.

Background: Having a history of adverse childhood experiences is associated with an increased risk for treatment-resistant depression in the general population. Whether this relationship is true in the perinatal context is unknown.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between adverse childhood experiences and the trajectories of antenatal and postpartum depression among people enrolled in a perinatal collaborative care program for mental healthcare.

Association of COVID-19 Vaccination During Early Pregnancy With Risk of Congenital Fetal Anomalies.

This cohort study evaluates the association of COVID-19 vaccination during early pregnancy with risk of major fetal structural anomalies identified on ultrasonography.

The association between engagement in a perinatal collaborative care program and breastfeeding among people with identified mental health conditions.

Background: Untreated antenatal mental health conditions are associated with noninitiation and early discontinuation of breastfeeding. Whether interventions designed to optimize perinatal mental health can mitigate this association is unknown.

Objective: This study aimed to examine whether engagement of pregnant people with mental health conditions in a perinatal mental health collaborative care program was associated with differences in breastfeeding initiation and continuation and whether any observed association was mediated by changes in depressive symptoms.
