Objective: To characterize the association between percent of county-level elected officials who were female-presenting and perinatal outcomes in Georgia and variation by individual race, 2020-2021.

Materials And Methods: We gathered data on the gender composition of county-level elected officials for all Georgia counties ( = 159) in 2022 and calculated the percent of female elected officials (percent female, 0-100). We linked this to data from 2020 to 2021 birth certificates ( = 238,795) to identify preterm birth (PTB, <37 weeks), low birthweight (LBW, <2500 grams), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and cesarean delivery.

  • The case highlights that early detection of odontomas allows for simpler treatment methods, improving outcomes and protecting nearby teeth.
