To examine the effect of parity, prepregnancy obesity and gestational diabetes on the incidence of preeclampsia in singleton pregnancies using a population-based dataset. We used the national perinatal information system (NPIS) to identify singleton pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and analyzed dichotomous-independent variables: being obese or normal weight before pregnancy, being primiparous or multiparous, and being without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), with GDMA1, or GDMA2. We found a significantly higher incidence of pregravid obesity among primiparas with preeclampsia (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.55, 1.66). The data indicate that multiparas had always a significantly lower incidence of preeclampsia, regardless if the women had GDMA1, GDMA2 or had no GDM, and regardless of being of normal weight or obese before pregnancy. The data indicate that the incidence of preeclampsia was not influenced by GDM status, irrespective of parity pregravid BMI category. Our data indicate that GDM is not significantly associated with the development of preeclampsia.

Background: Postpartum hypertension is a key factor in racial-ethnic inequities in maternal mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that experiences of racism, both structural and interpersonal, may contribute to disparities. We examined associations between gendered racial microaggressions (GRMs) during obstetric care with postpartum blood pressure (BP).

Background: Women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Current research suggests that general practitioners are unaware of women's HDP history, and although ideally placed to follow-up with these women, there is limited understanding of current CVD prevention practices in women after HDP. Additionally, preeclampsia confers a higher CVD risk compared to other types of HDP, and Australian research suggests that lower socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with a higher incidence of both HDP and CVD.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) represents a complication of pregnancy occurring in 1%-3% of all couples trying to conceive. About 50%-60% of RPL cases remain idiopathic, therefore therapeutic strategies seem empirical and based on unproven evidence. We investigated the efficacy of corticosteroids in women with RPL.

Objectives: Low-dose aspirin (LDA) is recommended for pregnant individuals at elevated risk for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). However, regular aspirin use may raise concerns of increased disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of LDA use in pregnant IBD patients and the effect of LDA on IBD disease activity.
