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.
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.

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.
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.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the relationship between the mode of delivery (e.g., vaginal vs. Cesarean) and childhood behavior and motor development, focusing on whether boys and girls are affected differently.
- Families with infants were recruited for data collection, which included assessing skills using specific questionnaires at 9 months and 3 years, employing statistical methods to analyze the results.
- Findings indicate that infants delivered via elective Cesarean have delays in personal and gross motor skills by 9 months, while no significant behavioral issues were identified at 3 years across different delivery methods, highlighting the need for further research.
