  • The objective of this work is to study the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of PA, as well as the immediate outcome of newborns included. (scirp.org)
  • Look for more opportunities to provide feedback to federal initiatives and proposed policies, as well as ways to incorporate access to evidence-based childbirth outcomes into these conversations. (lamaze.org)
  • 2019 ( https://www.who.int/nutrition/publications/UNICEF-WHOlowbirthweight-estimates-2019/en/ ). (who.int)
  • However, little is known about the interaction of AMA and maternal antenatal sleep on perinatal outcomes. (nus.edu.sg)
  • Here, we examined whether associations between AMA and perinatal outcomes are modified by antenatal sleep quality. (nus.edu.sg)
  • There were no cases of maternal sepsis or mortality. (jcgo.org)
  • Numerous studies have demonstrated that assisted reproductive technology (ART: defined here as including only in vitro fertilization and related technologies) is associated with increased adverse pregnancy, neonatal, and childhood developmental outcomes, even in singletons. (researchgate.net)
  • Through utilisation of carefully archived biospecimens to measure other prenatal exposures, banking of DNA and rigorous measurement of a diverse array of outcomes, ELEMENT has since evolved into a major resource for research on early life exposures and developmental outcomes. (cdc.gov)
  • In order to develop appropriate targeted preventative strategies to improve perinatal outcome in disadvantaged groups, a greater understanding of ethno-specific risk factors is required. (springer.com)
  • This work, which is unique in this domain in Mali, will permit to understand perinatal anoxia in Mali and to improve its management. (scirp.org)
  • Prediabetes in pregnancy, can early intervention improve outcomes? (bmj.com)
  • Measurements: Participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at 26-28 weeks gestation and had perinatal outcome data collected upon delivery. (nus.edu.sg)
  • All analyses were adjusted for maternal BMI at 26-28 weeks gestation, ethnicity, and maternal education. (nus.edu.sg)
  • PQCs have contributed to important changes in healthcare and led to significant improvements in maternal and infant outcomes. (cdc.gov)
