Abstract:
In most mammals, oocytes initiate meiosis in late fetal life; by the time of birthe they have already entered the diplotene stage of prophase I of meiosis and becaome arrested thereafter at the dictyate state(Baker, 1972). At this stage they became surrounded by a few nonproliferating flat follicle cells forming a unit called the resting or primordial follicle.

Abstract:
St Wystan’s at Repton is one of the most important churches of the Anglo-Saxon period because of its royal connections, the extent and character of its surviving Anglo-Saxon fabric and the historical puzzles it presents. Our understanding of the building has been transformed by the investigations undertaken by Harold Taylor, Martin Biddle and Birthe Kjølbye-Biddle. The paper begins with a brief summary of the evidence discovered and the conclusions reached by the three scholars, and then analyses what in those conclusions can be debated concerning the function and date of the columns and vaults inserted into the crypt.

Abstract:
Margrethe H. Møller interviews Lisbeth Kjeldgaard Almsten(translator/coauthor: Birthe Toft)“If you think that terminology work is simply a matter of buying terminology management software and getting started, you are in for trouble” At Crisplant, we have been doing terminology management for the past 20 years. Today, term bases are used not just for terminology-oriented term management. Recording other types of master data needed by all kinds of professionals in the enterprise is equally important. Within the past year, Crisplant has been acquired by the German BEUMER group, which means that the terminological resources of the two enterprises are in the process of being integrated. The challenges presented by this process demonstrate the importance of adhering to terminological principles when recording terminology resources, while at the same time reminding us what an essential discipline terminology management really is, in enterprise practice as well as in education. Lisbeth Kjeldgaard AlmstenProject Manager & Linguistic Coordinator at Crisplant.Lisbeth Kjeldgaard Almsten is dedicated to language technology, and she plays the role of coordinator vis-à-vis her colleagues in the BEUMER Group, who use the same language technology tools as the ones she works with.

Abstract:
Margrethe H. Møller interviews David Rosendahl(translator/coauthor: Birthe Toft)“We need to do more than simply create classifications” The concept secretariat of the Danish National Board of Social Services carries out terminology and classification work in connection with IT projects, among others, in the field of social services. This work is interesting for several reasons. On the one hand, terminology work obviously contributes to enhanced efficiency and transparency from the points of view of all types of users. On the other hand, some social services professionals are skeptical vis-à-vis the terminology projects because they fear unification and standardization of their professionalism and working procedures in connection with the introduction of new IT systems. And finally, a number of ethical issues have to be taken into consideration when deciding on terminology in the social services field. All in all, target group and communicative aspects become central to the effort.David Rosendahl Terminology consultant at the Danish National Board of Social ServicesThe Danish National Board of Social Services(“Socialstyrelsen”) is an independent subdivision of The Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration. The Board aims to promote new development and initiatives in social services while also supporting and counselling local authorities in providing services to citizens, i.e. children, young people, socially marginalised groups, elderly and disabled.

Abstract:
Cross-Media-Konzepte sind ein zentrales Element der Digitalisierungsstrategien vieler etablierter Medienunternehmen. Hinter diesem Konzept steckt die Idee einer aufeinander abgestimmten Kommunikation über mehre Medien. Diese Idee ist keinesfalls neu, hat aber mit der sich abzeichnenden Akzeptanz des Mediums Internet vor rund fünfzehn Jahren zusätzliche Beachtung gefunden. Gleichwohl ist das Thema keinesfalls schon abgehakt, vielmehr beschäftigen sich viele Medienunternehmen heute mit der Verfeinerung bzw. der Einführung crossmedialer Konzepte. Zudem machen neue Technologien, aktuell z. B. bei den Endgeräten, immer wieder eine Überprüfung der Konzepte erforderlich. Dies alles hat uns dazu bewogen, uns in einem „Standpunkt“ ganz diesem Thema zu widmen. Nachfolgend präsentieren wir Ihnen vier Beiträge, die das Thema aus ganz unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln beleuchten. Im ersten Beitrag beschäftigt sich Ralph Becker mit dem Management von Cross-Media-Aktivitäten. Er zeigt insbesondere die Notwendigkeit einer Verankerung in Steuerungs- und Organisationssystemen auf. Im zweiten Beitrag geht es um die Ausgestaltung von Content-Management-Systemen, ohne die kein Cross-Media-Konzept umgesetzt werden kann. Oliver Kretschmar zeigt u. a. die zunehmende Bedeutung des Aufbaus von Engagement- Plattformen und der Kontextualisierung von Inhalten auf. Der dritte Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Modifikation von Abläufen und Strukturen im Zuge der Einführung von Cross-Media-Konzepten. Dabei geht Birthe Kretschmer insbesondere auf die Realisierung von Newsroom-Konzepten ein, einem typischen Element von Cross-Media-Konzepten im Segment Nachrichten. Im vierten Beitrag werden die drei Perspektiven zusammengeführt. Am Beispiel des Bayerischen Rundfunks beschreibt Roland Scheble die konkreten Herausforderungen bei der Realisierung eines Konzepts.

Abstract:
Background:Antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies are considered in obstetric morbidity even when Sydney criteria for OAPS are not met. Classification and treatment of NC-OAPS patients and aPL carriers during pregnancy are still debated.Objectives:To increase knowledge, we evaluated and compared aPL serum profiles, exposure to antithrombotic therapies and pregnancy outcomes in OAPS, NC-OAPS and aPL carrier patients, accessing to our centre.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted on pregnant outpatients from January 2003 to April 2020. According to Sydney revised classification criteria, we considered lupus anticoagulant (LA), IgM and IgG anti-cardiolipin antibodies (aCL), IgM and IgG antibeta2 glycoprotein I antibodies (aβ2-GPI), to stratify aPL risk profiles [Ref]. In each pregnancy, after case stratification into high (≥ 2 aPL or LA serum positivity) versus low (single aPL positivity) risk profile, we evaluated antithrombotic treatment strategy and subsequent pregnancy outcomes as live-births, spontaneous abortions (SA) or foetal losses.Results:A total of 78 pregnancies were followed: 17 in OAPS, 9 in NC-OAPS and 52 in aPL carrier patients. Rheumatic diseases (RD) coexisted predominately in carriers (73.1%), mainly systemic lupus erythematosus (57.9%). As presented in Table 1, in OAPS and aPL plus RD carrier groups the association of acetyl-salicylic acid (ASA - mean dose 100 mg q.d.) and low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH - mean dose 4000 UI q.d.) showed a better rate of positive outcomes (97.8% of pregnancies) in high aPL risk profile, compared to monotherapy, especially with LA or triple aPL positivity. Conversely, negative outcomes occurred mostly with triple aPL positivity in the first group and double aPL in the second, despite therapy approaches. No significant data were obtained in NC-OAPS group, due to its paucity, though adverse outcomes were observed with monotherapy both in high and low risk profiles. Except aPL carriers with RD, in all other low risk subgroups, a prevalence of negative outcomes occurred using ASA alone, without statistical significance (OR 0; p= 0.45). Similarly, considering the whole population, the use of a mono or a combination therapy in high risk subgroups had not a significant correlation with pregnancy outcomes (OR 1.79; 95%CI 0.31-10.15; p= 0.50).Conclusion:In our study, negative pregnancy outcomes were sporadic, occurring mostly with ≥ 2 aPL positivity. Combination treatment showed better results overall in high aPL risk profile patients, both in OAPS and NC-OAPS or aPL carriers. Though no significant correlation between outcomes and treatments were found, we hinted how aPL-based risk stratification may be useful in adopting personalised therapies to prevent obstetric failures.Reference:[1]Miyakis S, et al (2006) International consensus statement on an update of the classification criteria for definite antiphospholipid syndrome.

Full text
Abstract:
Attempting to uncover and document the history, or rather histories and pre-histories, of queer tango is difficult. Superficially, the history ought to be easy. The term “queer tango” barely existed before 2001 when it was first used by LGBT dancers in Hamburg, Germany. It was perceived of by them as a riposte to “hetero-normative” leader-follower relationships in mainstream Argentinian tango, proposing instead women as leaders, men as followers, same sex couples and “active” rather than passive followers. Queer tango has subsequently been characterized by the emergence around the world of queer tango organizations, of international festivals, and an international community of dancers, thriving by contact through social media. Yet as the author, who is collaborating with writers and dancers Birthe Havmøller and Olaya Aramo in editing The Queer Tango Book, an online anthology of writings about queer tango, has found out, there is still no settled agreement as to what, precisely, the term means; there is disagreement about the premise that “hetero-normative” tango was quite as oppressive to women in the ways it was originally made out to be, and there is no agreement—indeed so far, precious little discussion—as to which dance practices in Buenos Aires and beyond from the late nineteenth century onward might legitimately be enlisted as forming the pre-history. Were the men-only prácticas, which ran for decades, a part of it? Or women teaching each other at home? When so little was written down, how is one to find out?

Abstract:
ObjectivesTo compare the Optimality Index of planned birth in a birth centre with planned birth in a hospital and planned home birth for low-risk term pregnant women who start labour under the responsibility of a community midwife.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingLow-risk pregnant women under care of a community midwife and living in a region with one of the 21 participating Dutch birth centres or in a region with the possibility for midwife-led hospital birth. Home birth was commonly available in all regions included in the study.Participants3455 low-risk term pregnant women (1686 nulliparous and 1769 multiparous) who gave birth between 1 July 2013 and 31 December 2013: 1668 planned birth centre births, 701 planned midwife-led hospital births and 1086 planned home births.Main outcome measurementsThe Optimality IndexNL-2015, a tool to measure ‘maximum outcome with minimal intervention’, was assessed by planned place of birth being a birth centre, a hospital setting or at home. Also, a composite maternal and perinatal adverse outcome score was calculated for the different planned places of birth.ResultsThere were no differences in Optimality Index NL-2015 for pregnant women who planned to give birth in a birth centre compared with women who planned to give birth in a hospital. Although effect sizes were small, women who planned to give birth at home had a higher Optimality Index NL-2015 than women who planned to give birth in a birth centre. The differences were larger for multiparous than for nulliparous women.ConclusionThe Optimality Index NL-2015 for women with planned birth centre births was comparable with planned midwife-led hospital births. Women with planned home births had a higher Optimality Index NL-2015, that is, a higher sum score of evidence-based items with an optimal value than women with planned birth centre births.

Abstract:
This study aims to observe the growth of Peranakan Etawah goats (PE goat) that are maintained intensive in Manokwari regency. The research material used was 50 PE goats that were born from 42 parents. The research method used is suvei with case study technique. The sample of pregnant goat used was taken by purposive sampling. The observed variables were birth weight, body weight 90 days and daily weight gain of goats studied. Data on the results of the study were analyzed using the t-test to compare growth of the goats observed by type of birth (single vs twin) and sex (male vs female). The results of statistical analysis showed that birth weight (3.01 ± 0.44 kg) and body weight 90 days (9.09 ± 1.77 kg) in single-birth-type PE goats were higher (P <0.05) than birth weight ( 2.76 ± 0.44kg) and body weight of 90 days (8.07 ± 1.67kg) in twin goat birth type. However, the single birth weight of single-birthed PE goats (65.58 ± 17.53g) was statistically not different (P> 0.05) with the multiple births (58.96 ± 19.23g). Also known that birth weight (3.16 ± 0.47 kg) and body weight 90 days (9.22 ± 1.77 kg) in male PE goats was higher (P <0.05) than birth weight (2.68 ± 0.29kg) and body weight 90 days (8.27 ± 1.71kg) in the female. While the weight of male goat PE (64.26 ± 18.86g) was statistically not different (P> 0.05) with the female (62.18 ± 17.79g).

Abstract:
A focused ethnography among African American college students who had observed a live birth prior to their own pregnancy was pursued. Women described two reasons to attend births: curiosity about birth, or a desire to support the birth mother. Women attended the births of friends, family members, or saw their mother give birth to a younger sibling. Themes included pain, operative or traumatic birth, and surprise at the length and/or stages of labor. Some language suggested lingering trauma. Future expectations included painful labor, operative birth or damage, or traumatic labor and birth. Other women felt closer to the infant, or felt more prepared for their own births after observing birth. Prior personal experiences at birth should be explored prenatally.

This study compared Korean birth data from immigrant and native women who married native men, and explored the factors that affected birth outcomes among immigrant women.DesignObservational cross-sectional study.SettingNationwide registry-based study in Korea.ParticipantsA total of 70 258 records from immigrant women and 1700 976 records from native women were examined using the National Birth Registration Database, from 2010 to 2013.Independent variableNative Korean women and immigrant women who married native men.OutcomesProportion of preterm births, post-term births, low birth weights and macrosomia.ResultsAdjusted ORs (aOR) were calculated for the adverse birth outcomes, and subgroup analyses were performed according to parity and mothers from three Asian countries (China, Vietnam, the Philippines). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were also conducted to evaluate the association of these factors with birth outcomes among immigrant women. Immigrant women had higher OR of post-term births (aOR 1.62; 95% CI 1.44 to 1.83) and low birth weights (aOR 1.17; CI 1.12 to 1.22). Mothers from the Philippines had higher OR of preterm births (aOR 1.26; CI 1.12 to 1.52) and Chinese mothers had higher OR of macrosomia (aOR 1.55; CI 1.44 to 1.66). The OR of post-term births and low birth weights was significantly higher in the first pregnancies of immigrant women.ConclusionsThis study has demonstrated higher proportions of adverse birth outcomes among immigrant women who married Korean men, compared with native women in Korea. Policies reducing the gap in birth outcomes between native and immigrant women are needed.

Abstract:
SummaryThis study examines the effects of birth order and interpregnancy interval on birthweight, gestational age, weight-for-gestational age, infant length, and weight-for-length in a sample of 2063 births from a longitudinal study in the Philippines. First births are the most disadvantaged of any birth order/spacing group. The risks associated with short intervals (<6 months) and high birth order (fifth or higher) are confined to infants who have both attributes; there is no excess risk associated with short previous intervals among lower-order infants, nor for high birth order infants conceived after longer intervals. This pattern is observed for all five birth outcomes and neonatal mortality, and persists in models that control for mother's age, education, smoking, family health history and nutritional status. Since fewer than 2% of births are both short interval and high birth order, the potential reduction in the incidence of low birthweight or neonatal mortality from avoiding this category of high-risk births is quite small (1–2%).

ObjectivesTo determine incidence, associated factors, outcomes and geographical occurrence of born before arrival (BBA) in New South Wales, Australia.DesignA linked population data study involving population-based surveillance systems was undertaken for the years 2000–2011.SettingNew South Wales, Australia.ParticipantsAll women who underwent BBA compared with women who birthed in hospital/birth centre settings.ResultsDuring the time period, there were 1 097 653 births and a BBA rate of 4.6 per 1000 births. The BBA rate changed from 4.2 to 4.8 per 1000 births over time (p=0.06). Neonates BBA were more likely to be premature (12.5% compared with 7.3%), of lower birth weight (209.8 g mean difference) and/or be admitted to a special care nursery or neonatal intensive care unit (20.6% compared with 15.6%). The perinatal mortality rate was significantly higher in the BBA cohort (34.6 compared with 9.3 per 1000 births). Women in the BBA cohort were more likely to be in the lowest socioeconomic decile, multiparous, have higher rates of smoking (30.5% compared with 13.8%) and more likely to suffer a postpartum haemorrhage requiring transfusion than the non-BBA cohort (1.5% compared with 0.7%). The most commonly occurring complications for neonates were suspected infection (6.9%), hypothermia (6.9%), respiratory distress (5.4%), congenital abnormality (4.0%) and neonatal withdrawal symptoms (2.4%). BBA more commonly occurred in geographical areas where the distance to a maternity unit is >2 hours drive and in coastal regions where there is also a high rate of homebirth.ConclusionBBA occurs more frequently in multiparous women of lower socioeconomic status. There potentially is an effect of geography on the occurrence of BBA, as geographical area of high homebirth and BBA coexists, indicating that freebirth followed by an unplanned transfer to hospital may be occurring.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThis study exposes doctors’ and midwives’ perceptions and misperceptions regarding home birth by examining their views on childbirth in general and on risk associated with home births in particular. It relies on an approach of risk communication and an anthropological framework. In a qualitative-constructive study, 19 in-depth interviews were conducted with hospital doctors, hospital midwives, home-birth midwives, and a home-birth obstetrician. Our findings reveal that hospital midwives and doctors suffer from lack of exposure to home births, leading to disagreement regarding norms and risk; it also revealed sexist or patriarchal worldviews. Recommendations include improving communication between home-birth midwives and hospital counterparts; increased exposure of hospital doctors to home birth, creating new protocols in collaboration with home-birth midwives; and establishing a national database of home births.

Abstract:
Home births are physiological births and form part of the social model of birth. Doctors, traditionally, have been very fearful of out-of-hospital birth, and physiological births happen less frequently in obstetric units. Normal/physiological birth contributes to improving public health, and doctors are often not aware of the extent of this benefit. Normal birth leads to adaptive physiological function in the baby (endocrine, immune system, thyroid function, respiration, neurology, temperature regulation), more mother and baby bonding, and promotes higher breastfeeding rates, which in turn lead to better lifelong emotional and physical health in babies. Normal birth affirms health, promotes empowerment in mothers, and is a societal event that has been linked to promoting positive emotional qualities in society via the birthing hormone, oxytocin. Training within the medical model constrains doctors’ appreciation of normal birth. Experience of complications, a lack of awareness of the evidence surrounding home birth, compounded by failure to understand the concept of iatrogenesis, perpetuates fear of home birth among doctors.

Abstract:
BackgroundStudies of daily variations in the numbers of births in England and Wales since the 1970s have found a pronounced weekly cycle, with numbers of daily births being highest from Tuesdays to Fridays and lowest at weekends and on public holidays. Mortality appeared to be higher at weekends. As time of birth was not included in national data systems until 2005, there have been no previous analyses by time of day.ObjectivesTo link data from birth registration and birth notification to data about care during birth and any subsequent hospital admissions and to quality assure the linkage. To use the linked data to analyse births and their outcomes by time of day, day of the week and year of birth.DesignA retrospective birth cohort analysis of linked routine data.SettingEngland and Wales.Outcome measuresMortality of babies and mothers, and morbidity recorded at birth and any subsequent hospital admission.Population and data sourcesBirth registration and notification records of 7,013,804 births in 2005–14, already linked to subsequent death registration records for babies, children and women who died within 1 year of giving birth, were provided by the Office for National Statistics. Stillbirths and neonatal deaths data from confidential enquiries for 2005–9 were linked to the registration records. Data for England were linked to Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) and data for Wales were linked to the Patient Episode Database for Wales and the National Community Child Health Database.ResultsCross-sectional analysis of all births in England and Wales showed a regular weekly cycle. Numbers of births each day increased from Mondays to Fridays. Numbers were lowest at weekends and on public holidays. Overall, numbers of births peaked between 09.00 and 12.00, followed by a much smaller peak in the early afternoon and a decrease after 17.00. Numbers then increased from 20.00, peaking at around 03.00–05.00, before falling again after 06.00. Singleton births after spontaneous onset and birth, including births in freestanding midwifery units and at home, were most likely to occur between midnight and 06.00, peaking at 04.00–06.00. Elective caesarean births were concentrated in weekday mornings. Births after induced labours were more likely to occur at hours around midnight on Tuesdays to Saturdays, irrespective of the mode of birth.LimitationsThe project was delayed by data access and information technology infrastructure problems. Data from confidential enquiries were available only for 2005–9 and some HES variables were incomplete. There was insufficient time to analyse the mortality and morbidity outcomes.ConclusionsThe timing of birth varies by place of birth, onset of labour and mode of birth. These patterns have implications for midwifery and medical staffing.Future workAn application has now been submitted for funding to analyse the mortality outcomes and further funding will be sought to undertake the other outstanding analyses.FundingThis project was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Services and Delivery Research programme and will be published in full inHealth Services and Delivery Research; Vol. 7, No. 18.

ObjectiveTo compare perinatal and maternal outcomes for Australian women with uncomplicated pregnancies according to planned place of birth, that is, in hospital labour wards, birth centres or at home.DesignA population-based retrospective design, linking and analysing routinely collected electronic data. Analysis comprised χ2tests and binary logistic regression for categorical data, yielding adjusted ORs. Continuous data were analysed using analysis of variance.SettingAll eight Australian states and territories.ParticipantsWomen with uncomplicated pregnancies who gave birth between 2000 and 2012 to a singleton baby in cephalic presentation at between 37 and 41 completed weeks’ gestation. Of the 1 251 420 births, 1 171 703 (93.6%) were planned in hospital labour wards, 71 505 (5.7%) in birth centres and 8212 (0.7%) at home.Main outcome measuresMode of birth, normal labour and birth, interventions and procedures during labour and birth, maternal complications, admission to special care/high dependency or intensive care units (mother or infant) and perinatal mortality (intrapartum stillbirth and neonatal death).ResultsCompared with planned hospital births, the odds of normal labour and birth were over twice as high in planned birth centre births (adjusted OR (AOR) 2.72; 99% CI 2.63 to 2.81) and nearly six times as high in planned home births (AOR 5.91; 99% CI 5.15 to 6.78). There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of intrapartum stillbirths, early or late neonatal deaths between the three planned places of birth.ConclusionsThis is the first Australia-wide study to examine outcomes by planned place of birth. For healthy women in Australia having an uncomplicated pregnancy, planned births in birth centres or at home are associated with positive maternal outcomes although the number of homebirths was small overall. There were no significant differences in the perinatal mortality rate, although the absolute numbers of deaths were very small and therefore firm conclusions cannot be drawn about perinatal mortality outcomes.

ObjectivesTo investigate time trends of preterm birth and estimate the contributions of risk factors to the changes in preterm birth rates over a decade (2009–2018) of transitional period in Shenzhen, China.DesignRetrospective cohort study between 2009 and 2018.SettingAll births in Baoan during January 2009 and December 2018 registered in the Shenzhen Birth Registry Database.Participants478 044 live births were included with sociodemographic and medical records for both women and infants.Outcome measuresThe incidence rate of preterm birth stratified by different maternal and infant characteristics. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify significant risk factors associated with preterm birth. The population attributable risk fraction of each factor was calculated to estimate its contribution to variations of preterm birth rate over the 10 years.ResultsA total of 27 829 preterm births from 478 044 (5.8%) live births were recorded and the preterm birth rate increased from 5.5% in 2009 to 6.2% in 2018. Medically induced preterm birth rate increased from 2.0% in 2009 to 3.4% in 2018 while spontaneous preterm labour rate decreased from 3.3% to 2.7% over the decade years. Risk factors including multiple pregnancy (0.28% increase) drove the rise of preterm birth rate, whereas changes in maternal educational attainment (0.22% reduction) and prenatal care utilisation (0.45% reduction) had contributed to the decline in preterm birth rate.ConclusionsAn uptrend of preterm birth rate was observed in an area under rapid sociodemographic transitions during 2009–2018 and the changes were associated with these sociodemographic transitions. Continued investments in girls’ education and prenatal care have the potential of reducing preterm birth rate.

Abstract:
The study endeavored to assess the epidemiology, postnatal survival, and growth pattern of multiple births in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It was based on the data of 25 demographic health surveys conducted in the subcontinent since 2008. The records of 213,889 children born in the preceding 59 months of the surveys were included. The multiple birth rate was computed as the number of multiple confinements per 1,000 births. Factors associated with multiple births were identified using logistic regression and their survival pattern was assessed using the Kaplan–Meier method. The multiple birth rate was 17.1 (95% confidence interval: 17.7–16.6) and showed considerable variation across the 25 countries included in the study. Odds of multiple births were significantly increased with advanced maternal age, parity, and maternal height but not with wealth index, age at first birth, and month of birth. At the end of the fourth year of age, the cumulative survival probability was as low as 0.77 in multiple births as compared to 0.93 in their counterparts. The odds of neonatal, infant and under-five mortality were 5.55, 4.39, and 3.72 times increased in multiple births, respectively. Multiple births tend to be malnourished than singletons and the odds of wasting, stunting, and underweight were 1.31, 1.83, and 1.73 times raised, consecutively. Nevertheless, multiple births regain their weight-for-age (WFA) and height-for-age (HFA) deficits by the end of the fourth year of age. Counseling pregnant mothers with multiple gestation to give birth at a health institution and providing close medical follow-up during and after the neonatal period can improve the survival of multiple births.

Abstract Objectives To examine pregnancy outcomes among births to women with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) in relation to time of IIM diagnosis using population-based data. Methods This study used Swedish nationwide registers to identify all singleton births that occurred between 1973 and 2016 among women diagnosed with IIM between 1998 and 2016 and among women unexposed to IIM. We classified births according to the IIM status of the mother at time of delivery: post-IIM (n = 68), 1–3 years pre-IIM (n = 23), &gt;3 years pre-IIM (n = 710) and unexposed to IIM (n = 4101). Multivariate regression models were used to estimate relative risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes in post-IIM births and pre-IIM births separately, in comparison with their non-IIM comparators. Results We found that post-IIM births had increased risks of caesarean section [adjusted relative risk (aRR) = 1.98; 95% CI: 1.08, 3.64], preterm birth (aRR = 3.35; 95% CI: 1.28, 8.73) and low birth weight (aRR = 5.69; 95% CI: 1.84, 17.55) compared with non-IIM comparators. We also noticed higher frequencies of caesarean section and instrumental delivery in 1–3 years pre-IIM births than in the non-IIM comparators. Conclusion Women who gave birth after IIM diagnosis had higher risks of caesarean section, preterm birth and low birth weight. These results further underline the importance of special care and close monitoring of women with IIM. Higher frequencies of caesarean section and instrumental delivery in pre-IIM births highlight the need for future research on the influence of subclinical features of IIM on pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract:
SummaryIdentification of modifiable factors and mediators linked to low and heavy birth weight is crucial in reducing infant mortality and health care expenditure. The present paper explores the associations of socio-demographic factors and immigrant status of parents with adverse pregnancy outcomes in Hong Kong. The analysis compares very low birth weight (VLBW: <1500 g), low birth weight (LBW: ≥1500 g and <2500 g) and heavy birth weight births (HBW: ≥4500 g) with births of normal weight (≥2500 g and <4500 g) using multinomial regression modelling of a large dataset of 828,975 births of singletons occurring between 1995 and 2009. The findings indicate the expected significant adverse associations between teenage and advanced age of the mother with compromised birth outcomes; teenage motherhood, however, has a protective effect against HBW births. A strong socioeconomic gradient is apparent, more marked among LBW births; low educational attainment of the father, low occupational class, public housing and single motherhood are strongly related to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Regarding immigrant status, women born in South and South-East Asia exhibit consistently higher odds of a compromised outcome. Women born in Hong Kong have significantly higher chances of LBW births while Mainland Chinese and parents from developed countries face higher odds of HBW births. The study identifies high-risk groups such as teenage, older and single mothers, South-East Asians and couples of low socioeconomic profile. Implementation of policies supporting these groups would be beneficial.

Abstract:
This study identified the influences of neonatal and maternal factors on premature birth and low birth weight in New South Wales, Australia. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to explore the association of selected neonatal and maternal characteristics with premature birth and low birth weight. The findings of this study showed that premature birth and low birth weight rate significantly varied by infant sex, maternal age, marital status, Aboriginality, parity, maternal smoking behaviour during pregnancy and maternal hypertension. First-born infants, and infants born to mothers aged less than 20 years, or who were single, separated/divorced, Aboriginal or who smoked during the pregnancy, were at increased risk of being premature or of low birth weight. This study also found that risk factors for premature births and low birth weight were similar in both singleton and multiple births. Gestational age was confirmed to be the single most important risk factor for low birth weight. The findings of this study suggest that in order to reduce the incidence of low birth weight and premature births, health improvement strategies should focus on antismoking campaigns during pregnancy and other healthcare programmes targeted at the socially disadvantaged populations identified in the study.

Abstract:
Human birth interval length is indicative of the level of parental investment that a child will receive: a short interval following birth means that parental resources must be split with a younger sibling during a period when the older sibling remains highly dependent on their parents. From a life-history theoretical perspective, it is likely that there are evolved mechanisms that serve to maximize fitness depending on context. One context that would be expected to result in short birth intervals, and lowered parental investment, is after a child with low expected fitness is born. Here, data drawn from a longitudinal British birth cohort study were used to test whether birth intervals were shorter following the birth of a child with a long-term health problem. Data on the timing of 4543 births were analysed using discrete-time event history analysis. The results were consistent with the hypothesis: birth intervals were shorter following the birth of a child diagnosed by a medical professional with a severe but non-fatal medical condition. Covariates in the analysis were also significantly associated with birth interval length: births of twins or multiple births, and relationship break-up were associated with significantly longer birth intervals.

Abstract Objective Infant mortality statistics for Canada have routinely omitted Ontario—Canada’s most populous province—as a high proportion of Vital Statistics infant death registrations could not be linked with their corresponding Vital Statistics live birth registrations. We assessed the feasibility of linking an alternative source of live birth information with infant death registrations. Methods All infant deaths occurring before 365 days of age registered in Ontario’s Vital Statistics in 2010–2011 were linked with birth records in the Canadian Institute for Health Information’s hospitalization database. Crude birthweight-specific and gestational age-specific infant mortality rates were calculated, and rates examined according to maternal and infant characteristics. Results Of 1311 infant death registrations, only 47 (3.6%) could not be linked to a hospital birth record. The overall crude infant mortality rate was 4.7 deaths per 1000 live births (95% CI, 4.4 to 4.9), the same as previously reported for the rest of Canada in 2011. Infant mortality was higher in women < 20 years (5.8 per 1000 live births) and ≥ 40 years (5.9 per 1000 live births), and lowest among those aged 25–29 years (3.9 per 1000 live births). Infant mortality was notably higher in the lowest (5.1 per 1000 live births) residential income quintile than the highest (3.4 per 1000 live births). Conclusion Use of birth hospitalization records resulted in near-complete linkage of all Vital Statistics infant death registrations. This approach could enhance the conduct of representative surveillance and research on infant mortality when direct linkage of live birth and infant death registrations is not achievable.

Abstract:
Data on births are important, both for demographic and health aspects since they allow the construction of several indicators, such as birth and fecundity rates, and the analysis of the health situation (IBGE, 2009). This way aimed to characterize the live birth numbers in the 217 municipalities in the state of Maranhão through search of secondary data in the public domain, available in Live Births Information System - SINASC, the Ministry of Health for the number of live births in the 217 municipalities of Maranhão state, in the years 2000, 2010 and 2014. From the analysis of the data can be observed that a number of live births in Maranhão is more pronounced in the central Maranhão mesoregion and in some points of the western, eastern and northern mesoregions of the State of Maranhão, with a mean between 101 and 600 births per year. There was a significant variation between the years 2010 and 2000 when comparing births by a period. The data on live births are needed for directing public health policies that come to contribute to social improvement.Key words: birth, Maranhense, population.

Abstract:
IntroductionPreterm birth is the major cause of under-five mortality. Population-based data on determinants and proportions of children born preterm are limited, especially from low-income countries. This study aimed at assessing time trends and social, reproductive and environmental determinants of preterm births based on a population-based pregnancy cohort over 25 years in rural Bangladesh.MethodsIn this cohort study in Matlab, a rural area in Bangladesh, we used data from the Health and Demographic Surveillance System from 1990 to 2014. Gestational age at birth was based on the reported last menstrual period and verified by ultrasound assessments. Preterm birth proportions were assessed within strata of social and reproductive characteristics, and time series analysis was performed with decomposition for trend and seasonality. We also determined the prevented fractions of preterm birth reduction associated with social and demographic changes during the follow-up period.ResultsAnalyses were based on 63 063 live births. Preterm birth decreased from 29% (95% CI 28.6 to 30.1) in 1990–1994 to 11% (95% CI 10.5 to 11.6) in 2010–2014. Low education, older age and multi-parity were associated with higher proportions of preterm births across the study period. Preterm births had a marked seasonal variation. A rapid increase in women’s educational level and decrease in parity were associated with the decline in preterm births, and 27% of the reduction observed from 1990 to 2014 could be attributed to these educational and reproductive changes.ConclusionThe reduction in preterm birth was to a large extent associated with the sociodemographic transition, especially changes in maternal education and parity. The persistent seasonal variation in the proportion of preterm birth may reflect the environmental stressors for pregnant women across the study period. Continued investments in girls’ education and family planning programmes may contribute to further reduction of preterm births in Bangladesh.
