Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the rates of depression, anxiety, and PTSD among women years after experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and how these mental health issues relate to the severity of HG symptoms.
- A cohort of 215 women who had been hospitalized for HG provided data through questionnaires measuring anxiety, depression, and PTSD both six weeks and approximately 4.5 years postpartum.
- Results indicated that a significant number of participants experienced elevated levels of anxiety (39.7%) and depression (27.4%) during follow-up, alongside a notable prevalence of PTSD (21.9%), with increased HG severity linked to higher mental health risk scores.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored how the severity of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) in pregnant women affected cardiometabolic markers in their babies' cord blood.
- It found that lower maternal weight gain was linked to higher levels of glucose and Apo-B in the cord blood, but other measures of HG severity and the use of enteral tube feeding did not show significant associations.
- Overall, while lower weight gain was a notable factor, the study concluded that other HG severity factors and enteral tube feeding did not impact the cardiometabolic markers in the offspring.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) affects 1% of pregnancies and significantly impacts women's quality of life, raising concerns about its long-term effects and recurrence in future pregnancies.
- The study followed 73 women previously hospitalized for HG to measure recurrence rates, instances of postponed or terminated pregnancies due to HG, and identify predictive factors for recurrence.
- Results showed that 89% of subsequent pregnancies experienced HG recurrence, with 40% of women postponing pregnancy plans, and some considering termination due to HG symptoms.
Introduction: Little is known about the pathophysiology of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Proposed underlying causes are multifactorial and thyroid function is hypothesized to be causally involved. In this study, we aimed to assess the utility of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) as a marker and predictor for the severity and clinical course of HG.

Objective: To assess the association between ketonuria and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) disease severity.
Study Design: We included pregnant women hospitalised for HG who participated in the Maternal and Offspring outcomes after Treatment of HyperEmesis by Refeeding (MOTHER) trial and women who were eligible, chose not to be randomised and agreed to participate in the observational cohort. Between October 2013 and March 2016, in 19 hospitals in the Netherlands, women hospitalised for HG were approached for study participation.
