Violence among pregnant women in Denmark from 2019 to 2021 - A hospital-based cross-sectional study.

We examined the prevalence of lifetime physical and any recent violence and related maternal characteristics and health in pregnant women. We used Patient Reported Outcomes data retrieved from the Copenhagen Pregnancy Cohort (n = 7,361). The prevalence of lifetime physical and any recent violence was 4.

Cohort profile: The COPENHAGEN Minipuberty Study-A longitudinal prospective cohort of healthy full-term infants and their parents.

Background: The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis governs sexual maturation and reproductive function in humans. In early postnatal life, it is transiently active during which circulating sex steroids reach adult levels. While this so-called minipuberty represents a universal phenomenon in infants of both sexes, its role for early maturation and growth remains incompletely understood.

Why we succeed and fail in detecting fetal growth restriction: A population-based study.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to explore the association between detection of fetal growth restriction and maternal-, healthcare provider- and organizational factors.

Material And Methods: A historical, observational, multicentre study. All women who gave birth to a child with a birthweight <2.

The FIB-PPH trial: fibrinogen concentrate as initial treatment for postpartum haemorrhage: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) remains a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. In Denmark 2% of parturients receive blood transfusion. During the course of bleeding fibrinogen (coagulation factor I) may be depleted and fall to critically low levels, impairing haemostasis and thus worsening the ongoing bleeding.

Use of fertility drugs and risk of uterine cancer: results from a large Danish population-based cohort study.

Some epidemiologic studies have indicated that uterine cancer risk may be increased after use of fertility drugs. To further assess this association, the authors used data from a large cohort of 54,362 women diagnosed with infertility who were referred to Danish fertility clinics between 1965 and 1998. In a case-cohort study, rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to assess the effects of 4 groups of fertility drugs on overall risk of uterine cancer after adjustment for potentially confounding factors.

[Reconvalescence following Caesarean section].

Recommendations for reconvalescence and restriction of physical activity after elective caesarean section are not consistent and there is a lack of evidence on the subject. Although physiological changes are rapidly normalized after the operation, the women experience an extended period characterized by fatigue caused by lack of sleep due to nursing and breastfeeding of the baby. This paper accounts for the effects of post-operative pain, breastfeeding, fatigue, sexuality and physical recovery in the period of reconvalecence following elective caesarean section.

Use of fertility drugs and risk of ovarian cancer: Danish Population Based Cohort Study.

Objective: To examine the effects of fertility drugs on overall risk of ovarian cancer using data from a large cohort of infertile women.

Design: Population based cohort study.

Setting: Danish hospitals and private fertility clinics.

Risk of breast cancer and gynecologic cancers in a large population of nearly 50,000 infertile Danish women.

Infertility is considered to influence the risk of breast cancer and gynecologic cancers. To assess this association, the authors used data from a large cohort of 54,362 women with a diagnosis of infertility who were referred to Danish fertility clinics between 1963 and 1998. Through 2003, 1,975 cancers were identified by linkage to the Danish Cancer Registry.

Malignant melanoma risk after exposure to fertility drugs: results from a large Danish cohort study.

Objective: The aim was to examine the effects of fertility drugs on malignant melanoma risk using data from the largest cohort of infertile women to date.

Methods: A cohort of 54,362 women with infertility problems referred to Danish fertility clinics in the period 1963-1998 was established. A detailed data collection including information about type and amount of treatment was conducted.

Risk of breast cancer after exposure to fertility drugs: results from a large Danish cohort study.

Background: Few epidemiologic studies have examined the association between fertility drugs and breast cancer risk, and results have been contradicting. Using data from the largest cohort of infertile women to date, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of fertility drugs on breast cancer risk overall and according to histologic subtypes.

Method: A cohort of 54,362 women with infertility problems referred to all Danish fertility clinics between 1963 and 1998 was established.

Childhood tumor risk after treatment with ovulation-stimulating drugs.

Objective: To assess childhood cancer risk among children conceived following the use of ovulation-stimulating drugs.

Design: Record linkage study.

Setting: Infertility patients and their offspring as identified through medical records.

Alcohol use as predictor for infertility in a representative population of Danish women.

Background: Our aim was to examine the association between use of alcohol and subsequent incidence of primary infertility.

Methods: The study subjects were chosen from a population-based cohort of Danish women aged 20-29 years. Eligible women were nulliparous and not pregnant (n = 7760).
