Cases of pertussis were similarly distributed by trimester (32% 3rd) whereas 46% of influenza cases were in the 3rd trimester. Younger age, previous birth, and being overseas-born were associated with both pertussis and influenza, whereas identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, hypertension or diabetes before and during pregnancy, and a number of other factors were only associated with influenza. Both pertussis and influenza in pregnancy were associated with increased risk of preterm birth (pertussis: aHR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.01-1.68; influenza: aHR = 1.56, 95% CI 1.36-1.79) and these increased risks were greater when infections in the period within 2 weeks of birth were considered (pertussis: aHR = 2.36, 95% CI 1.26-4.41; influenza: aHR = 2.29, 95% CI 1.78-2.96).CONCLUSIONSMaternal pertussis and influenza infections close to the time of birth were associated with adverse birth outcomes. These findings highlight the benefits of vaccination during pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":8984,"journal":{"name":"BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142449350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From these data, three third-order themes arose: The individual, the healthcare setting and the community/context.CONCLUSIONSOverarching themes in bereavement care shape grief responses and are often similar across geographical locations. Analysing these similarities allows a deeper understanding of the important elements of bereavement care and may be helpful to inform the creation of high-quality, bereavement care guidelines suitable for use in LMIC settings.","PeriodicalId":8984,"journal":{"name":"BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142449349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we examine whether pregnancies with the highest total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or triglyceride levels or the lowest high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels predict future dyslipidemia post-pregnancy.DESIGNLongitudinal cohort study.SETTINGFive communities in Michigan, USA.SAMPLEPregnant women (n = 649) with blood lipid levels measured at mid-pregnancy in the Pregnancy Outcomes and Community Health (POUCH) Study and at the POUCHmoms Study follow-up, 7-15 years later.METHODSMaternal mid-pregnancy lipid levels were defined as 'high' (upper quartile of triglycerides ≥ 216 mg/dL, LDL ≥ 145 mg/dL and total cholesterol ≥ 256 mg/dL) or 'low' (lower quartile, HDL < 58 mg/dL) using whole sample lipid distributions. At follow-up, dyslipidemia was classified by the clinical cutoffs of triglycerides and total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL, LDL ≥ 130 mg/dL and HDL < 50 mg/dL. Weighted regression models estimated the risk of dyslipidemia at follow-up in relation to pregnancy lipid levels, adjusted for baseline confounders.MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREDyslipidemia later in life.RESULTSMid-pregnancy triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol levels at the upper quartile were associated with at least threefold increase in the risk of abnormal triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol levels later in life. Women with low mid-pregnancy HDL levels had just over a twofold increased risk of abnormally low HDL levels at follow-up. These associations persisted following adjustment for covariates, i.e. demographics, lifestyle, and years of follow-up.CONCLUSIONSHigher mid-pregnancy LDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides and lower levels of HDL may signal future dyslipidemia risk and the need for closer lipid monitoring to ensure timely interventions that can attenuate cardiovascular disease risk.","PeriodicalId":8984,"journal":{"name":"BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142385300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
