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.
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, can lead to vitamin deficiencies. Little is known about HG-related vitamin K deficiency. We aimed to summarise available evidence on the occurrence of HG-related vitamin K deficiency and corresponding maternal and neonatal complications.

- 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.
