Aims: To examine the risk of perinatal mental illness, including new diagnoses and recurrent use of mental healthcare, comparing women with and without traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to identify injury-related factors associated with these outcomes among women with TBI.

Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study in Ontario, Canada, of all obstetrical deliveries to women in 2012-2021, excluding those with mental healthcare use in the year before conception. The cohort was stratified into women with no remote mental illness history (to identify new mental illness diagnoses between conception and 365 days postpartum) and those with a remote mental illness history (to identify recurrent illnesses).

Background: With advances in perinatal medicine, there has been a rise in the preterm birth rate, especially the rate of very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely low birth weight infants. Studies have shown that maternal age during pregnancy and at the time of delivery is associated with pregnancy complications and poor neonatal outcomes. Little is known about the effect of maternal age on the outcome of very low birth weight infants.

Objective: Recurrent cesarean deliveries are associated with intra-abdominal adhesions, and these adhesions affect maternal and neonatal morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of striae gravidarum (SG) and intra-abdominal adhesions detected during cesarean section (CS).

Material And Methods: In this prospective, case-control study, women undergoing a second CS were divided into three groups according to the severity of SG (group 1 - no SG; group 2 - mild SG; group 3 - moderate to severe SG).
