Women with epilepsy need to continue to take anticonvulsants during their pregnancies to prevent seizures from occurring. Since the 1980's, it has been known that the use of valproate (an anticonvulsant) in the first ...
Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome: A population-based study on prevalence, prenatal diagnosis, associated anomalies and survival in Europe.
(2018-09)
Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome is a complex developmental disorder characterized by somatic overgrowth, macroglossia, abdominal wall defects, neonatal hypoglycemia, and predisposition to embryonal tumors. We present epidemiological ...
Trends in congenital anomalies in Europe from 1980 to 2012.
(2018)
BACKGROUND: Surveillance of congenital anomalies is important to identify potential teratogens. METHODS: This study analysed the prevalence of 61 congenital anomaly subgroups (excluding chromosomal) in 25 population-based ...
Development of a core outcome set for trials on induction of labour: an international multistakeholder Delphi study.
(2018-12)
OBJECTIVE: To develop a set of core outcomes to be minimally reported in trials on induction of labour. DESIGN: Two-round Delphi survey and consensus meeting. POPULATION: Four stakeholder groups: midwives, obstetricians, ...
Maternal intake of sugar during pregnancy and childhood respiratory and atopic outcomes.
(2017-07)
The possible role of maternal consumption of free sugar during pregnancy in the inception of respiratory and atopic diseases has not been studied. We aimed to study the relationship between maternal intake of free sugar ...
Spot protein-creatinine ratio and spot albumin-creatinine ratio in the assessment of pre-eclampsia: a diagnostic accuracy study with decision-analytic model-based economic evaluation and acceptability analysis.
(2017-10)
BACKGROUND: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines highlighted the need for 'large, high-quality prospective studies comparing the various methods of measuring proteinuria in women with ...
Type of obstetric anesthesia administered and complications in women with preeclampsia in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review.
(2017-11)
BACKGROUND: Delivery is often expedited with cesarean section, necessitating anesthesia, to prevent complications in women with preeclampsia. Anesthesia-associated risks in these women from low- and middle-income countries ...
