However, this legislation removed the word \"illegal\" when defining substance use and left other important words in the law up to each individual state to define. These changes resulted in pregnant/postpartum individuals with OUD who were receiving legally prescribed mOUD, being subject to legal actions. In many states, such notifications result in investigation and punitive actions, which may include the removal of children from the care of postpartum individuals. These state policies have created additional barriers to accessing mOUD for pregnant and/or postpartum individuals. Research has demonstrated that pregnant individuals delay and/or avoid recommended prenatal care or decide to stop taking mOUD altogether, to prevent potential legal and child welfare-related consequences. This situation is problematic as it places individuals at risk of overdose and death and infants at risk of health complications. Importantly, such policies are subject to bias and disproportionately impact individuals of color and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. <b><i>Conclusions and Relevance:</i></b> The need to address and change the criminalization of pregnant/postpartum substance use laws to not penalize individuals adhering to the recommended standard of evidence-based care is urgent.

Diagnosing OSA in this population is particularly challenging. Portable monitoring devices (PMD) present a potential alternative to polysomnography (PSG), but their effectiveness in pregnant women is uncertain. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of a PMD to detect OSA in pregnant women. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A prospective study of 136 middle-aged pregnant women (34 ± 4 years) in their third trimester of pregnancy (34 ± 3 weeks) who underwent laboratory type III PMD and PSG simultaneously. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Using an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥5 event/h by PSG, OSA was diagnosed in 10.3% of women (mild OSA: 86%; moderate OSA: 14%). An acceptable positive correlation was found between both tests in the AHI (<i>r</i> = 0.787; <i>p</i> < 0.001) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) (<i>r</i> = 0.806; <i>p</i> < 0.001). The agreement limits between PSG and type III PMD were -4.1 to 5.4 for AHI and -6.0 to 4.5 for ODI. The sensitivity and specificity of type III PMD for an AHI ≥5 events/h were 57.1% and 99.2%, respectively, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 88.9% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 95.3%. On a receiver operating characteristic curve, the best cutoff point of AHI by type III PMD to identify OSA according to PSG criteria was 2.25 events/h. The sensibility and specificity for this point were 85.7% and 88.5%, respectively, with a PPV of 46.2% and NPV of 98.2%. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> A type III PMD with an AHI cutoff of 5 events/h could be a good alternative for OSA diagnosis in pregnant women. Additionally, an AHI ≥2.25 event/h demonstrates good diagnostic performance, but its low positive predictive value suggests that it is more appropriate as a screening tool.
