BACKGROUND
We aimed to determine whether the clinical characteristics of women in uncomplicated pregnancies presenting with decreased foetal movements (DFMs) would help target subgroups of women at the highest risk. Furthermore, we also aimed whether DFMs in complicated pregnancies identified the
BACKGROUND
We hypothesise that the rate of stillbirth is increased in mothers younger than 18 years of age compared to adult mothers, and that obesity further increases the risk of stillbirth in this population.
METHODS
We conducted a population-based cohort study comparing rates of stillbirth
Obesity and pregestational diabetes (PGDM) may interact to further increase the risk of stillbirth than either risk factors independently. The objective of this study was to determine the risk of stillbirth in pregnancies complicated by both conditions.This BACKGROUND
Obesity is associated with increased risk of stillbirth, although the mechanisms are unknown. Obesity is also associated with inflammation. Serum ferritin, C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, and histologic chorioamnionitis are all markers of inflammation.
OBJECTIVE
This article
While prepregnancy obesity increases risk of stillbirth, few studies have evaluated the role of newly developed obesity independent of long-standing obesity. Additionally, researchers have relied almost exclusively on parametric models, which require correct specification of an unknown function for
There has been a resurgence in analyses of consecutive pregnancies (or similarly, sibling designs) in perinatal and pediatric epidemiology. These approaches have attractive qualities for estimating associations with complex multifactorial exposures like obesity. In an article appearing in this issue
The stillbirth rate in the United Kingdom (UK) is approximately 3.5-4 per 1000 births. The country has one of the highest stillbirth rates in Europe, constituting a substantial portion of the UK perinatal death rate, which was estimated in 2013 at 6.7 deaths per 1000 births.
To analyse the risk of
BACKGROUND
Approximately 5 in 1,000 deliveries in England and Wales result in stillbirth, with little improvement in figures over the last few decades. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between clinical and socio-demographic factors and stillbirth, with a particular focus on
We conducted this metaanalysis to summarize the available epidemiologic evidence on the relationship between maternal overweight and obesity and the risk of stillbirth. We identified studies from 3 sources: (1) a PubMed search of relevant articles that were published between January 1980 and
OBJECTIVE
To examine the association between high prepregnancy body mass index and fetal death, allowing for the effects of gestational age, weight gain, and maternal diseases in pregnancy.
METHODS
Prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and fetal death were examined in the Danish National Birth Cohort
OBJECTIVE
To investigate associations between overweight and adverse clinical outcomes among women who experienced stillbirth.
METHODS
234 pregnant women (stillbirth group, n = 115; live birth group, n = 119) were included in this retrospective case-control study. Recorded risk factors were age,
We sought to estimate the impact of prepregnancy obesity on demise of one or both fetuses in twin gestations. We performed a retrospective cohort study using the Missouri maternally linked cohort files (years 1989-2005). Prepregnancy obesity was defined as a BMI >or=30. Outcomes of interest were
Obesity is an increasing health problem that has become a common medical disorder among women of childbearing age, representing worldwide a risk factor for stillbirth. The aim of the study is to evaluate the association between placental histopathologic findings and obesity in BACKGROUND
In high-income countries, maternal obesity is one of the most important modifiable causes of stillbirth, yet the pathways underpinning this association remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE
We estimated the association between maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and the risk of stillbirth
Recent years have witnessed a rise in maternal obesity, which is independently associated with an increased risk of stillbirth. The pathophysiology is unclear, but it is likely related to abnormal placental function, and inflammatory, metabolic and hormonal imbalances in the mother. Obesity is
