National breastfeeding (direct breastfeeding and/or provision of pumped breast milk) rates among preterm infants are unclear. We report rates of breastfeeding initiation and continuation at 12 weeks after birth by gestational age category from a nationally representative survey between 2009 and 2019. Breastfeeding rates were lowest among infants born late preterm compared with other gestational age categories.

Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the association between breastfeeding duration and body mass index (BMI), overweight and obesity in children during follow-up until 16 years of age.
Methods: Observational cohort study of mothers and their children born 1999-2000 in a municipality in southwestern Sweden. Data were retrieved from antenatal clinics, primary care child health care centres and school health care.

Unlabelled: To explore whether prenatal conditions (i.e. chorioamnionitis, preeclampsia or small-for-gestational age (SGA)) affect the very preterm infant's response to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), according to mode of delivery, an independent factor shown to modulate this association.

Objective: We aimed to compare the perinatal outcomes in women with cervical dilatation with fetal membranes visible before 26 weeks of gestation managed with an adjunctive pessary after emergency cervical cerclage or emergency cerclage alone.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of women with singleton gestation, diagnosed with cervical dilatation accompanied by fetal membranes visible at or beyond the external os, who underwent emergency cervical cerclage. The participants were recruited at 3 tertiary perinatal centers.

The current study examines the application of the Pediatric-Buccal-Epigenetic (PedBE) clock, designed for buccal epithelial cells, to endothelia. We evaluate the association of PedBE epigenetic age and age acceleration estimated from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with length of gestation and birthweight in a racially and ethnically diverse sample (analytic sample = 333). PedBE age was positively associated with gestational age at birth ( = 0.

The association between small for gestational age birth and chromosomal abnormalities identified through karyotyping is well-established. Notably, advancements in cytogenetic techniques have shifted from routine karyotyping to the recommended use of microarray technology. This transition allows higher resolution and the detection of sub-microscopic copy number variants (CNVs).
