Importance: Understanding environmental risk factors for gestational diabetes (GD) is crucial for developing preventive strategies and improving pregnancy outcomes.
Objective: To examine the association of county-level radon exposure with GD risk in pregnant individuals.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This multicenter, population-based cohort study used data from the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-Be (nuMoM2b) cohort, which recruited nulliparous pregnant participants from 8 US clinical centers between October 2010 and September 2013.
Objective: To assess trends in risk for obstetric venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the 2008-2019 Merative MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters and Medicaid Multi-State databases. Women aged 15-54 years with a delivery hospitalization and health care enrollment from 1 year before pregnancy to 60 days after delivery were identified.
Objectives: Traditionally, midline vertical skin incisions have been utilized during surgery for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), as it is considered to maximize exposure and allow for a uterine incision to avoid the placenta. However, literature directly comparing outcomes of vertical versus transverse incisions in PAS is sparse. Our objective was to compare maternal outcomes between patients who underwent a vertical versus a transverse skin incision for PAS.

- - The study aimed to identify clinical risk factors and obstetric complications from a woman's first delivery that could lead to severe morbidity or transfusion during a second delivery hospitalization in New York State from 2010 to 2017.
- - The researchers analyzed data from 624,500 delivery hospitalizations, finding that 0.85% of second deliveries experienced severe maternal morbidity, with significant factors including severe morbidity and transfusion during the first delivery, alongside conditions like pregestational diabetes.
- - The conclusion highlighted that complications identified in the first delivery strongly predict severe morbidity in a second delivery, with severe maternal morbidity from the first delivery posing the highest risk.
Background: Establishing local trimester-specific reference intervals for gestational TSH and free T4 (FT4) is often not feasible, necessitating alternative strategies. We aimed to systematically quantify the diagnostic performance of standardized modifications of center-specific nonpregnancy reference intervals as compared to trimester-specific reference intervals.
Methods: We included prospective cohorts participating in the Consortium on Thyroid and Pregnancy.
