Article Synopsis
  • - Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant issue, with about 25% of women in the U.S. experiencing related trauma, but its prevalence among pregnant women is less understood.
  • - A study involving 606 women at an academic hospital from 2011 to 2022 found that 20.4% of participants reported experiencing IPV, with factors like unmarried status, low income, and substance use during pregnancy linked to higher IPV risk.
  • - The research highlights that while maternal race was not directly associated with IPV, experiences of racial and gender discrimination were significant, suggesting that addressing social determinants of health could better support pregnant individuals facing IPV.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to explore the link between fever and the occurrence of meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) in pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing data from women with fever to those without.
  • Out of 400 pregnant women analyzed, 17.25% exhibited MSAF, with increased prevalence (21.85%) in fever-pregnant women, indicating a statistically significant association between fever and MSAF risk.
  • Furthermore, COVID-19 infection notably raised the odds of developing MSAF by 2.567 times, while abnormal fetal heart monitoring and gestational age emerged as independent risk factors, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of these conditions in at-risk pregnant women.
