Tag: Pregnancy: Risks

A large proportion of this association was mediated by hypertensive disorders

Periconceptional maternal smoking of ≥10 cigarettes/day showed strongest link, reflected by 0.9-day delay in reaching final Carnegie stage

Traditional risk factors such as subsequent diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia only partially contribute to higher risk

Findings reported among women at high risk due to prepregnancy diabetes, obesity, and/or chronic hypertension

Risk for severe maternal morbidities and maternal mortality higher for pregnant women who have disabilities, regardless of disability type

Pregnant women diagnosed during the first wave of COVID-19 had higher frequency of maternal morbidities

Risk for any cancer increased in association with first-trimester exposure; risk increased with number of injections

Occupational exposure to indoor cleaning products at preconception, time of conception/pregnancy may increase asthma risk for child

Experts recommend COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women to mitigate severe perinatal morbidity, mortality

Consistent, marked graded association seen between greater prepregnancy risk factor burden and risk for adverse maternal, fetal outcomes
