Incidence of fracture hospitalization and surgery during pregnancy in Finland-1998-2017: a retrospective register-based cohort study.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of all major fractures and surgery during pregnancy and the outcomes of pregnancy in Finland between 1998 and 2017.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study using nationwide data from the Finnish Care Register for Health Care and the Finnish Medical Birth Register. As participants we included all women aged between 15 and 49 years from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2017 and their ≥ 22-week pregnancies.

Incidence of Peripheral Nerve Decompression Surgery During Pregnancy and the First Year After Delivery in Finland From 1999 to 2017: A Retrospective Register-Based Cohort Study.

Purpose: We aimed to report the incidence of peripheral nerve decompression surgery during pregnancy and 12 months after delivery in Finland from 1999 to 2017.

Methods: Using nationwide data from the Finnish Care Register for Health Care and the Finnish Medical Birth Register, all women of potentially childbearing age (15-49 years) who underwent peripheral nerve decompression surgery or had a pregnancy ending in delivery from January 1, 1999, to December 31, 2017, were included. Incidence rates and incidence rate ratios for operations were calculated for both childbearing women and the age-adjusted general female population.

Smoking is associated with an increased risk for fractures in women after childbirth: a nationwide population-based cohort study in Finland.

Background And Purpose: Smoking weakens bone health and increases the risk of fractures. We investigated the incidence of fractures in smoking, fertile-aged women and compared it with that of non-smoking, fertile-aged women using data from nationwide registers.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective register-based nationwide cohort study from 1998 to 2018.

Incidence of lumbar discectomy during pregnancy and within 12 months post-partum in Finland between 1999 and 2017: a retrospective register-based cohort study.

Background Context: Both lumbar disc herniation in the general population and lower back pain in the pregnant population are known to be common conditions. The physiological and anatomical of the mother predispose to increased strain of the lumbar disc, whereas pregnancy may promote caution in physicians contemplating surgical care.

Purpose: We aimed to report the incidence of lumbar discectomy during pregnancy and 12 months postpartum in Finland between 1999 and 2017.

Pregnancy and delivery after spine fracture or surgery: A nationwide population-based register study in Finland.

Background: The incidences of spine fractures and fusion surgeries have increased. A few studies have reported an increased rate of caesarean sections (CS) in women who have undergone spine surgery but have not reported on the health of neonates.

Objective: We report the incidence of spine fractures, spine fracture surgeries and fusion surgery for other reasons and the effect of these injuries and procedures on later pregnancy outcomes in Finland.

Incidence of vaginal birth-related rupture of the pubic symphysis: A nationwide register study in Finland from 1998 to 2018.

Background And Purpose: To assess the incidence of vaginal birth -related rupture of the pubic symphysis in Finland from 1998 to 2018.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study using nationwide data from the Finnish Care Register for Health Care and the Finnish Medical Birth Register. As participants we included all ≥ 22-week pregnancies of women aged between 15 and 49 years from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2017.

Incidence of Fracture Hospitalization and Surgery in Women Increases Steadily During the Puerperal and Lactation Period: A Retrospective Register-Based Cohort Study in Finland From 1999 to 2018.

This retrospective cohort study assesses the incidences of major fractures and surgery in women during the puerperium and the lactation period in Finland between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2018. Using nationwide data from the Finnish Care Register for Health Care and the Finnish Medical Birth Register, all women aged between 15 and 49 years with a fracture hospitalization within 12 months of delivery between 1999 and 2018 were included. During the study period, a total of 3140 fractures after delivery and 152,800 fractures of the female normal population of similar age were hospitalized.

Birth rate after major trauma in fertile-aged women: a nationwide population-based cohort study in Finland.

Background: To date, only a few small studies have assessed the effects of major orthopedic traumas on the subsequent birth rate in fertile-aged woman. We assessed the incidences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and fractures of the spine, pelvis, and hip or thigh and evaluated their association with the birth rate in fertile-aged woman.

Methods: In this retrospective register-based nationwide cohort study, data on all fertile-aged (15-44 years of age) women who sustained a TBI or fracture of the spine, pelvis, hip or thigh between 1998 and 2013 were retrieved from the Care Register for Health Care.

Pregnancy and delivery after traumatic brain injury: a nationwide population-based cohort study in Finland.

Objectives: Few studies have assessed pregnancies and deliveries after traumatic brain injury (TBI). We report the incidence of TBIs and TBI-related surgeries in fertile-aged females and investigate subsequent pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: All fertile-aged (15-49) women with TBI diagnosis during our study period (1998-2018) were retrieved from the Care Register for Health Care and combined with data from the National Medical Birth Register.

Pregnancy and delivery after pelvic fracture in fertile-aged women: A nationwide population-based cohort study in Finland.

Objective: Only a few small studies have assessed the effects of pelvic fractures on pregnancies, deliveries, and rates of cesarean sections. We aimed to evaluate the effect of pelvic fractures on subsequent pregnancy and delivery in Finland.

Study Design: In this retrospective register-based nationwide cohort study, data on all fertile-aged (aged 15-49) women with a pelvic fracture during our study period (1998-2018) were retrieved from the Care Register for Health Care.
