Frequent Use of Premenopausal Progestin in Prior Pre-Eclamptic Women.

Context: Women with a history of pre-eclamptic pregnancy are predisposed to later occlusive vascular diseases.

Objective: We compared the use of cyclic progestins or levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) for treatment of menstrual cycle abnormalities between premenopausal women with and without a prior pre-eclamptic pregnancy.

Setting And Participants: Register-based cohort study during 1994-2019 of oral progestin or levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) in Finnish women with (n=31 688) and without (n=91 726) prior pre-eclampsia in 1969-1993.

Prior pre-eclampsia does not diminish the vascular protective effect of menopausal hormone therapy.

Objective: Women with prior pre-eclampsia are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) may affect this risk. We evaluated the impact of MHT use on cardiovascular risk between women with and without prior pre-eclampsia.

Effect of the maternal childbirth experience on a subsequent birth: a retrospective 7-year cohort study of primiparas in Finland.

Objective: To study the effect of the childbirth experience on the likelihood and interval to a subsequent live birth.

Design: Retrospective analysis of a 7-year cohort.

Setting: Childbirths in Helsinki University Hospital delivery units.

Pre-eclampsia and cardiovascular risk: a long-term nationwide cohort study on over 120 000 Finnish women.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of pre-eclampsia on the future cardiovascular risk in Finnish women DESIGN: A registry-based nationwide controlled cohort study.

Setting: Women hospitalised for pre-eclampsia in 1969-1993 and control women with a history of normotensive pregnancies followed from the pre-eclampsia diagnosis until 2019 for cardiovascular outcomes.

Participants: 31 688 women with and 91 726 control women without a history of pre-eclampsia.

Maternal childbirth experience and induction of labour in each mode of delivery: a retrospective seven-year cohort study of 95,051 parturients in Finland.

Background: Childbirth experience has been shown to depend on the mode of delivery. However, it is unclear how labour induction influences the childbirth experience in different modes of delivery. Thus, we assessed the childbirth experience among mothers with spontaneous and induced labours.

Maternal childbirth experience and pain relief methods: a retrospective 7-year cohort study of 85 488 parturients in Finland.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyse the relation between the used labour pain relief and childbirth experience measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Childbirth in five Helsinki University Hospital delivery units from 2012 to 2018.

Maternal childbirth experience and time of delivery: a retrospective 7-year cohort study of 105 847 parturients in Finland.

Objectives: To explore how the time of delivery influences childbirth experience.

Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Childbirth in the four Helsinki and Uusimaa Hospital District hospitals, Finland, from 2012 to 2018.

Examining retail purchases of cigarettes and nicotine replacement therapy in Finland.

Introduction: Finland's success in achieving the goal of its tobacco endgame largely depends on rectifying deficiencies in the delivery of smoking cessation services. One such weakness, which has not been documented with empirical data, is misuse of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). This study's objective was to examine purchase patterns of NRT for estimating improper use of the medication.
