Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Pregnant Individuals with Opioid Use Disorder and Its Association with Preterm Birth.

Objective:  Both hepatitis C virus (HCV) and opioid use disorder (OUD) have been associated with higher rates of preterm birth (PTB). It is unknown whether the higher prevalence of HCV in individuals with OUD may contribute to this association. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between HCV and PTB in pregnant individuals with OUD.

Sexual and Reproductive Health Care after Gonadotoxic Treatment in Females at a Tertiary Pediatric Hospital.

Study Objectives: Recommendations from the Children's Oncology Group Long-Term Follow-Up (COG-LTFU) Guidelines for Survivors of Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer emphasize the importance of reproductive health care, yet little is known regarding adherence to these recommendations and non-fertility-related sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes.

Methods: Follow-up of outcomes on the basis of the COG-LTFU guidelines was assessed in female patients who underwent fertility preservation consultation before gonadotoxic therapy between 2016 and 2022 at a single institution and were at least 6 months from treatment completion.

Results: We included 140 patients, with a mean time of 2.

Association between Individual versus Community-level Social Vulnerability and Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome among Pregnant Individuals Receiving Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder.

Objective: Individual patient-level measures of adverse social determinants of health are associated with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), but the relative impact of community-level adverse social determinants of health remains to be defined. We examined the association between community-level social vulnerability and NOWS among pregnant individuals receiving buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.

Study Design: We conducted a secondary analysis of an established cohort of pregnant individuals and their infants participating in a multidisciplinary prenatal/addiction care program from 2013 to 2021.

Outcomes in Subsequent Pregnancies of Individuals With Opioid Use Disorder Treated in Multidisciplinary Clinic in Prior Pregnancy.

Background: Untreated opioid misuse in pregnancy is associated with adverse outcomes. Limited information is available on maternal and perinatal outcomes in subsequent pregnancies for individuals initiated on medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in a prior pregnancy.

Objective: Evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes in subsequent pregnancies for individuals initiated on MOUD in prior pregnancy.
