Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between endometriosis during pregnancy and negative health outcomes for mothers and newborns, using data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project over a 20-year period.
- Findings show a significant increase in endometriosis prevalence during pregnancy and reveal that mothers with endometriosis face higher risks of complications such as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth, while their newborns may experience growth restrictions and congenital anomalies.
- The study emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to monitor pregnancies of individuals with endometriosis closely due to the heightened risk of adverse events associated with this condition.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) on maternal and fetal/neonatal outcomes during pregnancy, using data from the U.S. between 1999 and 2015.
- Findings showed a low incidence of GBS among pregnancies (2.1/100,000 births) but highlighted a rising trend in cases over the years.
- Pregnancies complicated by GBS were linked to higher risks of issues like preeclampsia, sepsis, postpartum hemorrhage, and higher rates of cesarean deliveries, indicating a need for close monitoring of affected pregnant women.
Article Synopsis
- Over the past few decades, cesarean delivery has been recommended as the safest option for breech presentations, and this study compares outcomes between planned vaginal births and planned cesarean births for breech fetuses.
- The study, using data from 2008 to 2017 involving over 546,000 breech deliveries, found that only 26.14% of planned vaginal births were successful, with significant risks associated with these deliveries.
- The results indicate that planned vaginal births for breech presentations have a low success rate and are linked to increased neonatal morbidity and mortality, suggesting that women should be thoroughly informed about the risks involved.
Objective: The incidence of Lyme disease (LD) infections has risen in recent decades. Gestational LD has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes; however, the results have been contradictory. The study objective was to examine the effects of gestational LD on obstetrical and neonatal outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- * AFE incidence was consistent at about 4.9 cases per 100,000 deliveries, while the case-fatality rate showed a decline to an average of 17.7%.
- * Higher AFE rates and fatalities were observed in women aged 35 and older, African-Americans, and those in urban-teaching hospitals, indicating a need for further research on diagnosis and treatment strategies.
