Lupus1
  • The association between aPL antibodies and particular human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and HLA-linked epitopes has been reported in studies of patients with lupus erythematous (eg, HLA-DR7, HLA-DR4). (medscape.com)
Effect of maternal1
  • However, the effect of maternal vitamin D supplementation on fetal growth has not been confirmed. (medscape.com)
Infections1
  • Infectious Disease in Pregnancy Most common maternal infections (eg, UTIs, skin and respiratory tract infections) are usually not serious problems during pregnancy, although some genital infections (bacterial vaginosis and. (msdmanuals.com)
Births5
  • A modest association was observed between long-term TCE exposure and decreased MBW and increased SGA births, overall. (cdc.gov)
  • No association was observed between short-term exposure to TCE and MBW or SGA births. (cdc.gov)
  • In addition, a variety of exposure categories were examined and at most a very weak association was observed among the births in which exposure occurred for the longest duration. (cdc.gov)
  • Misclassification of gestational age was also possible, especially among the preterm births. (cdc.gov)
  • In spite of our knowledge about the problem, globally, preterm births are possibly one of the commonest causes of The sample size was determined using the maternal and child health problems in de- statistical program Epi-info. (who.int)
Socio-demographic1
  • Data regarding maternal socio-demographic and mental health were recorded. (springer.com)
Characteristics1
  • This study describes the prevalence, associated malformations, and maternal characteristics among cases with sirenomelia. (cdc.gov)
Pregnancy-related1
  • To further understand and evaluate the risk factors for and leading causes of pregnancy-related death, the National Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System was initiated in 1988 by CDC's Division of Reproductive Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, in collaboration with the CDC/American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Maternal Mortality Study Group (8).

Confounders3
  • The association with timing of the tobacco control policies was investigated using interrupted time series logistic regression analyses with adjustment for confounders. (nature.com)
  • Sources of uncertainty remained, not only for the subgroups in which elevations were found, but also because some potentially important confounders (e.g., maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, and height) were not controlled for in the analysis. (cdc.gov)
  • The accepted main potential confounders are possible recall bias, maternal cigarette smoking, and pregnancy symptoms (e.g., nausea and vomiting). (bmj.com)
Potential fetal1
  • However, knowledge of caffeine pharmacology suggests high biological plausibility for potential fetal harm from maternal consumption, and observational studies provide extensive direct evidence of real harm. (bmj.com)
Observational studies3
  • Among both observational studies and meta-analyses, there are frequent reports of significant dose-response associations suggestive of causation, and frequent reports of no threshold of consumption below which associations are absent. (bmj.com)
  • Increasing evidence from observational studies [ 10-17 ] has identified the link between maternal vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency and fetal growth restriction. (medscape.com)
  • Current evidence on maternal vitamin D status and fetal growth restriction derives largely from observational studies, but small supplementation studies. (medscape.com)
Deaths1
  • Stillbirths and neonatal deaths remain high in many low-income countries. (biomedcentral.com)
Misclassification1
  • The main threats to causal inference of harm from maternal caffeine consumption are possible misclassification of exposure and outcome variables, and potential confounding from extraneous variables. (bmj.com)

Supplementation5
  • Since the preterm association could well reflect poor nutrition, studies to address ways of improving the overall nutritional status of populations in impoverished areas, rather than focusing on micronutrient and or zinc supplementation in isolation, should be an urgent priority. (aku.edu)
  • Efforts should be made to strengthen the continuum of care in maternal health services, iron supplementation, immunizing and early initiation of breastfeeding. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Cord blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], calcium, and phosphorus were measured in 1491 neonates who were divided into three groups based on the duration of maternal vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy. (medscape.com)
  • The findings from China suggest that maternal vitamin D supplementation recommended by the IOM results in a slight but significantly higher fetal level of 25(OH)D and improves fetal growth. (medscape.com)
  • [ 7 , 21-23 ] The controversial findings may be due to variations of study designs, including the gestational weeks, dose, season, and adherence of maternal vitamin D supplementation as well as ethnicity of the study population. (medscape.com)
