Pregnancy and birth complications and long-term maternal mental health outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Few studies have examined the associations between pregnancy and birth complications and long-term (>12 months) maternal mental health outcomes.

Objectives: To review the published literature on pregnancy and birth complications and long-term maternal mental health outcomes.

Search Strategy: Systematic search of Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Excerpta Medica Database (Embase), PsycInfo®, PubMed® and Web of Science from inception until August 2022.

The association between caesarean section delivery and obesity at age 17 years. Evidence from a longitudinal cohort study in the United Kingdom.

Background: Childhood and adolescent obesity are major, preventable public health concerns. Studies to date are inconclusive regarding an association between caesarean section (CS) delivery and offspring obesity, with fewer studies conducted in late adolescence. This study examined the association between CS delivery, with a specific focus on planned CS, and induction of labour and adolescent body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BF%) at age 17 years.

Risk of stillbirth after a previous caesarean delivery: A Swedish nationwide cohort study.

Objectives: To investigate the risk of stillbirth in relation to (1) a previous caesarean delivery (CD) compared with those following a vaginal birth (VB); and (2) vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) compared with a repeat CD.

Design: Population-based cohort study.

Setting: The Swedish Medical Birth registry.

Maternal hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and depression or anxiety in adolescence: Findings from the Millennium Cohort Study.

Background: The short-term effects of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) on the health of the fetus are well known; however, their impacts on the risk of mental health in the exposed offspring are not fully understood. Our aim was to examine the association between HDP and depression/anxiety at age 17 years.

Methods: We used data from The Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative longitudinal study of children born in the United Kingdom.

Risk of stillbirth and adverse pregnancy outcomes in a third pregnancy when an earlier pregnancy has ended in stillbirth.

Introduction: Our study evaluated how a history of stillbirth in either of the first two pregnancies affects the risk of having a stillbirth or other adverse pregnancy outcomes in the third subsequent pregnancy.

Material And Methods: We used the Swedish Medical Birth Register to define a population-based cohort of women who had at least three singleton births from 1973 to 2012. The exposure of interest was a history of stillbirth in either of the first two pregnancies.

Compositional and Functional Alterations in Intestinal Microbiota in Patients with Psychosis or Schizophrenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background And Hypothesis: Intestinal microbiota is intrinsically linked to human health. Evidence suggests that the composition and function of the microbiome differs in those with schizophrenia compared with controls. It is not clear how these alterations functionally impact people with schizophrenia.

Association Between Chronic Hypertension and the Risk of 12 Cardiovascular Diseases Among Parous Women: The Role of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes.

Background: Evidence on the association between chronic hypertension and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in mothers with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) is limited. We investigated the association between chronic hypertension and risk of CVD, considering the role of APOs.

Methods: We used linked electronic health records in the CALIBER platform to define a UK cohort of women with recorded births between 1997 and 2016.

Role of Antihypertensive Treatment and Blood Pressure Control in the Occurrence of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: a Population-Based Study of Linked Electronic Health Records.

Background: Chronic hypertension (CH) adversely impacts pregnancy. It remains unclear whether antihypertensive treatment alters these risks. We examined the role of antihypertensive treatment in the association between CH and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Compositional and functional alterations in the oral and gut microbiota in patients with psychosis or schizophrenia: A systematic review.

Gut and oral microbiota are intrinsically linked to human health. Recent studies suggest a direct link with mental health through bidirectional gut-brain pathways. Emerging evidence suggests that the composition and/or function of intestinal microbiome differs in those with psychosis and schizophrenia as compared with controls.

Impact of Chronic Hypertension and Antihypertensive Treatment on Adverse Perinatal Outcomes: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background Maternal chronic hypertension is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Previous studies examined the association between either chronic hypertension or antihypertensive treatment and adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to synthesize the evidence on the effect of chronic hypertension/antihypertensive treatment on adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Pregnancy outcomes in women with chronic kidney disease and chronic hypertension: a National cohort study.

Background: Maternal chronic kidney disease and chronic hypertension have been linked with adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to examine the association between these conditions and adverse pregnancy outcomes over the last 3 decades.

Objective: We conducted this national cohort study to assess the association between maternal chronic disease (CH, CKD or both conditions) and adverse pregnancy outcomes with an emphasis on the effect of parity, maternal age, and BMI on these associations over the last three decades.

Paediatric attendances of the emergency department in a major Irish tertiary referral centre before and after expansion of free GP care to children under 6: a retrospective observational study.

Objectives: To examine the characteristics of paediatric attendances to the emergency department (ED) in Cork University Hospital (CUH) before and after the expansion of free general practitioner (GP) care to children under the age of 6 years.

Design: This is a retrospective observational study that used a large administrative dataset.

Setting: The study was conducted in major Irish tertiary referral centre that serves a total population of over 1.

Association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and the risk of asthma, eczema and allergies in offspring: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and risk of asthma, eczema, food allergies and allergic rhinitis in the offspring.

Design: A systematic review and random-effects meta-analyses were used to synthesize the published literature. PRISMA guidelines were followed throughout.
