Background And Objectives: Small for gestational age and preeclampsia have both been described as risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm neonates, but their respective role in the occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia is debated. We evaluated the relation between small for gestational age and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in neonates born to mothers with preeclampsia. We hypothesized that low birth weight is still associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in this homogeneous population.
Methods: Retrospective single-center cohort study including 141 neonates born between 24 and 30 weeks' gestation to mothers with preeclampsia. The main outcome measure was moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age. Neonates born small for gestational age (birthweight < 10th percentile on the AUDIPOG curves) were compared to those with appropriate birthweight for gestational age by bivariable analyses and logistic regression models, estimating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia rates were 61.5% (32/52) and 27.4% (20/73) for small for gestational age and appropriate birthweight for gestational age neonates (p < .001). On adjustment for gestational age and other confounding factors, the risk of moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia was greater for small for gestational age than appropriate birthweight for gestational age neonates (adjusted OR = 5.9, 95% CI [2.2-15.4]), as was the composite outcome death or moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (adjusted OR = 4.7, 95% CI [1.9-11.3]).
Conclusions: Small for gestational age was associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very preterm neonates born to mothers with preeclampsia.

Importance: Food insecurity is a growing public health concern, but its association with perinatal complications remains unclear.
Objective: To examine whether food insecurity in pregnancy was associated with the risk of perinatal complications and determine whether these potential associations differed by receipt of food assistance.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used data from a pregnancy survey conducted between June 22, 2020, and September 9, 2022, at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, an integrated health care system serving a diverse population of 4.

Importance: Congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) can lead to a range of developmental and neurological issues, which increases the risk of early death. However, the all-cause and cause-specific mortality in children with CZS in the first 5 years of life remain unknown.
Objective: To compare the hazard of all-cause and cause-specific mortality before age 5 years among children with and without CZS in Brazil.

Forensic investigation of intrauterine and perinatal deaths can be challenging, given their relative infrequency and the possible involvement of maternal substance use, trauma, and socioeconomic factors. Intrauterine and perinatal deaths investigated by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Officer between 2013-2023 were reviewed. One hundred twenty-eight cases were identified (83 stillborn and 45 live births).

Background: Adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm delivery and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, may be associated with higher future risks of heart failure (HF). However, the comparative effects of different adverse pregnancy outcomes on long-term risk of HF, and their potential causality, are unclear.
Objectives: The authors sought to examine 5 major adverse pregnancy outcomes in relation to long-term risk of HF in a large population-based cohort.

Irregular and unpredictable fetal movement is the most common cause of artifacts in in utero functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), affecting analysis and limiting our understanding of early functional brain development. The accurate detection of corrupted functional connectivity (FC) resulting from motion artifacts or preprocessing, instead of neural activity, is a prerequisite for reliable and valid analysis of FC and early brain development. Approaches to address this problem in adult data are of limited utility in fetal fMRI.
