StUdy of Gestational diabetes And Risk using Electronic Data (SUGARED): a population-based cohort study-study protocol.

Introduction: The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Australia has tripled in the last 20 years. Consequently, over 40 000 pregnancies are now diagnosed as 'higher risk' each year. This has increased antenatal surveillance and obstetric intervention, often in the form of delivery earlier than 39 weeks gestation.

Trends in early gestation stillbirths and neonatal deaths in New South Wales, Australia 2002-2019.

Background: Little research has focused on understanding trends in early gestation (20-27 weeks) stillbirths and neonatal deaths.

Aims: To examine trends in early gestation stillbirths and neonatal deaths in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

Materials And Methods: Population-based cohort study of all births ≥20 weeks gestation among female NSW residents during 2002 to 2019, induced pregnancy terminations excluded.

Interventional radiology in obstetric patients: A population-based record linkage study of use and outcomes.

Introduction: Interventional radiology (IR) is a technique for controlling hemorrhage and preserving fertility for women with serious obstetric conditions such as placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) or postpartum hemorrhage. This study examined maternal, pregnancy and hospital characteristics and outcomes for women receiving IR in pregnancy and postpartum.

Material And Methods: A population-based record linkage study was conducted, including all women who gave birth in hospital in New South Wales or the major tertiary hospital in the neighboring Australian Capital Territory, Australia, between 2003 and 2019.

Maternal Mortality in a Rural District of Pakistan and Contributing Factors.

Introduction: Pakistan is among the ten countries that account for 60% of global maternal mortality. Lack of accurate data on maternal mortality and a complex interrelation of access and quality of healthcare services, healthcare delivery system, and socio-economic and demographic factors contribute significantly to inadequate progress in reducing maternal mortality.

Material And Methods: A population-based prospective cohort study was conducted in a rural district of Pakistan using data obtained from an enhanced surveillance system.

Pregnancy outcomes in women with endometriosis and/or ART use: a population-based cohort study.

Study Question: What is the association between endometriosis and adverse pregnancy outcomes with ART use and non-use?

Summary Answer: Endometriosis and ART use are both associated with increased risk of preterm birth, antepartum haemorrhage, placenta praevia and planned birth (caesarean delivery or induction of labour).

What Is Known Already: There are contradictory findings on the association between endometriosis and adverse pregnancy outcomes, and many large studies have not considered the effect of ART use.

Study Design, Size, Duration: Population-based cohort study of 578 221 eligible pregnancies during 2006-2015, comparing pregnancy outcomes across four groups (No endo/no ART, No endo/ART, Endo/no ART and Endo/ART).
