Mashup Score: 2Reduced growth velocity from the mid-trimester is associated with placental insufficiency in fetuses born at a normal birthweight - 3 year(s) ago
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) due to placental insufficiency is a major risk factor for stillbirth. While small-for-gestational-age (SGA; weight < 10th centile) is a commonly used proxy for FGR, detection of FGR among appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA; weight ≥ 10th centile) fetuses remains an unmet need in clinical care. We aimed to determine whether reduced antenatal growth velocity from...

Mashup Score: 0CV health profiles worse among adults born preterm or with low birth weight vs. controls - 3 year(s) ago
Adults who were born extremely preterm or had an extremely low birth weight had worse CV profiles compared with adult controls, according to findings published in Hypertension.“Young adults born preterm have less favorable cardiovascular health profiles than their term-born peers,” Jeanie L.Y. Cheong, MD, from Neonatal Services at Royal Women’s Hospital and Clinical Sciences at

Mashup Score: 5Biological sex affects genes for body fat, cancer, birth weight - 4 year(s) ago
Biological sex has a small but ubiquitous influence on gene expression in almost every type of human tissue, reports a new study from Northwestern Medicine, the University of Chicago and the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona. Gene expression is the amount of product created by a gene for cell function.

Mashup Score: 1Associations between historical redlining and birth outcomes from 2006 through 2015 in California - 4 year(s) ago
Background Despite being one of the wealthiest nations, disparities in adverse birth outcomes persist across racial and ethnic lines in the United States. We studied the association between historical redlining and preterm birth, low birth weight (LBW), small-for-gestational age (SGA), and perinatal mortality over a ten-year period (2006–2015) in Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco,…

Mashup Score: 2
Thyroid dysfunction is common in women of reproductive age.1 Normal functioning of the thyroid gland is essential for successful conception and pregnancy. The association between overt thyroid disease and adverse obstetric and fetal outcomes is well recognised,2 but this is less clear for subclinical thyroid dysfunction. This lack of clarity is compounded by the inconsistent definitions used to…

Mashup Score: 4Association of maternal thyroid function with birthweight: a systematic review and individual-participant data meta-analysis - 4 year(s) ago
Maternal subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of SGA and lower birthweight, whereas isolated hypothyroxinaemia is associated with lower risk of SGA and higher birthweight. There was an inverse, dose-response association of maternal TSH and FT4 (even within the normal range) with birthweight. These results advance our understanding of the complex relationships…
