Article Synopsis
- Preterm birth and preeclampsia are major public health issues that can harm infants, and the study investigates the role of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in these outcomes.
- Analyzing data from over 6,000 pregnant women in Quebec, researchers found a significant association between CMV seropositivity and increased risks of both preterm birth and preeclampsia.
- The analysis revealed that most of the risk from CMV for preterm birth is direct, and future research should focus on ways to prevent CMV infections to potentially reduce these pregnancy complications.
Objectives: While studies have demonstrated increased morbidity and mortality risk in infancy among children who are HIV-exposed and uninfected (CHEU), longitudinal data are limited. The objective of this study was to assess long-term risk of hospitalization among CHEU compared to children who are HIV-unexposed and uninfected (CHUU), and determine risk factors for hospitalization among CHEU.
Design: A longitudinal cohort study (1988-2015) linking the Centre maternel et infantile sur le SIDA cohort (Montreal, Quebec) to administrative data from the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ), a universal health insurance provider in the province of Quebec.
Objective: Guidelines recommending deferred cord clamping (DCC), delaying cord clamping for at least 30 seconds post-birth, have shown significant benefits in preterm singleton births. However, evidence supporting DCC in twins is scarce due to limited trial data, leading to practice variations. This study aims to assess current reported DCC practices for twin pregnancies in tertiary hospitals across Canada.
