Long-term effects of preeclampsia on maternal cardiovascular health and postpartum utilization of primary care: an observational claims data study

Kathrin Hassdenteufel et al.

Summary: Preeclampsia increases the risk of developing chronic hypertension and cardiovascular disease in women, especially those with recurrent preeclampsia. Future medical guidelines should take this potential risk into account.

Long-Term Mortality in Women With Pregnancy Loss and Modification by Race/Ethnicity

Sonia M. Grandi et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between pregnancy loss and long-term mortality, as well as its variation by maternal race/ethnicity. The results showed that pregnancy loss was associated with an increased absolute risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Stratified analysis by race/ethnicity revealed a higher risk of mortality in White women, but not Black women. Women with recurrent losses had an increased risk of death in all race/ethnicity groups.

Effect of Elevated Ambient Temperature on Maternal, Foetal, and Neonatal Outcomes: A Scoping Review

Yohani Dalugoda et al.

Summary: This scoping review provides an overview of the literature on the association between elevated ambient temperature exposure during pregnancy and adverse maternal, foetal, and neonatal outcomes. The review identifies research gaps and summarises the current evidence, highlighting an increased risk of pre-term birth, low birth weight, stillbirth, and gestational diabetes mellitus with elevated temperature exposures. There is a need for further research on less-reported outcomes such as congenital anomalies and neonatal mortality.

Mortality in Persons With Autism Spectrum Disorder or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Ferran Catala-Lopez et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that ASD and ADHD are associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality. All-cause mortality was higher for individuals with ASD and ADHD compared to the general population. Among individuals with ASD, both deaths from natural causes and deaths from unnatural causes were increased. Among individuals with ADHD, deaths from natural causes were not significantly increased, but deaths from unnatural causes were higher than expected.

Programming of cardiometabolic health: the role of maternal and fetal hyperinsulinaemia

Antonia Hufnagel et al.

Summary: Obesity and gestational diabetes during pregnancy can have both short-term and long-term consequences for both mother and child. One common feature of these conditions is maternal hyperinsulinaemia, which can affect placental growth, angiogenesis, and lipid metabolism. The fetus is exposed to high levels of glucose due to maternal hyperglycaemia, leading to fetal hyperglycaemia/hyperinsulinaemia and complications in fetal development. These changes may increase the risk of cardiometabolic diseases in the offspring later in life. This review summarizes the impact of maternal and fetal hyperinsulinaemia on various aspects and discusses interventions to alleviate these effects.

Worldwide prevalence, risk factors and psychological impact of infertility among women: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Nik Hussain Nik Hazlina et al.

Summary: This study assessed the prevalence, risk factors, and psychological impact of infertility among females. The results showed a high prevalence of infertility among women, with significant associations found between smoking, psychological distress, and depression. These findings highlight the importance of addressing the mental health aspects of infertility in women and providing positive and supportive measures.

The Impact of Maternal Prenatal Stress Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic during the First 1000 Days: A Historical Perspective

Sam Schoenmakers et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on vulnerable groups, including pregnant women and unborn children. This review explores the transgenerational effects of exposure to disasters during pregnancy and the role of maternal prenatal stress. The aim is to draw attention to the psychological impact on women of reproductive age and the potential consequences for the health of children conceived, carried, and born during this pandemic.

The Epidemiology and Mechanisms of Lifetime Cardiopulmonary Morbidities Associated With Pre-Pregnancy Obesity and Excessive Gestational Weight Gain

Shantanu Rastogi et al.

Summary: Obesity has become a global pandemic, particularly among pregnant women, leading to various maternal and offspring complications. These complications include cardiac issues, pulmonary diseases, and long-term metabolic complications. Mechanisms related to obesity-mediated metabolic alterations and systemic inflammation are believed to contribute to these adverse outcomes.

Maternal depressive symptom trajectories from preconception through postpartum: Associations with offspring developmental outcomes in early childhood

Gabrielle R. Rinne et al.

Summary: This study examines the predictive power of maternal depressive symptoms on early childhood outcomes using two empirical studies. The results suggest that changes in maternal depressive symptoms are associated with lower effortful control and poorer performance on inhibitory control tasks in children. These findings are aligned with the match-mismatch model. Assessing preconception depressive symptoms and changes in symptoms may benefit early intervention for women and children.

Intergenerational transmission of maternal childhood adversity and depression on children's internalizing problems

Danielle Roubinov et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationships between maternal early life trauma, maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum period, and children's internalizing symptoms. The results showed that maternal childhood trauma was associated with maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum period, which further predicted children's internalizing problems. Limitations include the reliance on self-reported assessments from mothers and the retrospective evaluation of childhood trauma.

Sandie Ha

Summary: Climate change has significant impacts on pregnancy health through environmental disasters, leading to increased risks of complications and poor outcomes. Vulnerable populations are more susceptible to these effects. Strategies to address this issue include reducing emissions, increasing awareness and education, improving data accessibility, and further research on mechanisms and evaluation methods.

Summary: Gestational diabetes is a common metabolic complication of pregnancy that may be influenced by environmental temperature, energy expenditure, adipose tissue metabolism, vitamin D levels, and seasonal variations. Studies have shown a direct relation between rising environmental temperatures and the risk of developing GDM, with potential implications for global changes in its prevalence.

Climate Change and Mental Health: A Scoping Review

Fiona Charlson et al.

Summary: Climate change is adversely affecting the mental health of populations, leading to psychological distress, worsened mental health, and higher mortality rates. Most research focuses on assessing the mental health risks associated with climate change, with fewer studies addressing effective interventions, mitigation and adaptation strategies, decision support, and cost estimations for protecting health from climate change. More research is needed to develop evidence-based strategies for mitigation and adaptation.
