Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the mother's periodontal condition and perinatal complications, such as preterm birth and low birth weight. The results showed no statistically significant relationship between maternal periodontal disease and preterm birth or low birth weight, but tobacco use during pregnancy was associated with low birth weight.

Summary: The study found a correlation between periodontal disease, low vitamin D levels, preterm birth, and low birth weight in pregnant women. Poor oral health and vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women were significantly associated with higher rates of preterm birth and low birth weight.

Summary: Being born preterm and at very low birth weight is associated with increased cardiopulmonary disorders in childhood and potential late cardiac effects, including right ventricular remodeling and occult pulmonary hypertension as survivors age. In a population-based study, young adults born PT at VLBW exhibited smaller RV dimensions compared to normal-weight term-born controls, with slightly reduced RV function detected using strain imaging. Birth weight and gestational age were related to these differences, highlighting the potential importance of echocardiographic strain imaging in detecting RV function disparities in this population.

Summary: This multicountry study in Africa found significant associations between maternal exposure to PM2.5 and higher odds of low birth weight and preterm birth. These findings may contribute to the development of air quality control strategies to address adverse birth outcomes in low- and middle-income countries.

Summary: Preterm birth is defined as delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, with 15 million infants born prematurely globally each year, increasing the risk of mortality and health challenges. While the only FDA approved therapy for preventing preterm birth in the U.S. has faced recent setbacks, interdisciplinary efforts are underway to develop next generation therapies to prevent preterm birth and save infant lives. This research aims to better identify women at risk for preterm birth, prevent premature labor, and ultimately improve outcomes for newborns.

Summary: This study compared the rates of preterm birth (PTB) and very low birth weight (VLBW) in 5 hospitals during the early COVID era (Jan-Dec 2020) to the pre-COVID period (Jan 2017-Dec 2019). The results showed no significant change in the rates of PTB or VLBW between the two time periods.

Summary: This study examined the association between acoustic cry characteristics at neonatal intensive care unit discharge and behavioral and developmental outcomes at age 2 years in very preterm infants. The findings suggest that acoustic cry characteristics are associated with developmental and behavioral outcomes at age 2 years. Therefore, acoustic cry characteristics may be used for early identification of risk for long-term developmental and behavioral deficits in children.

Summary: The study found that maternal factors, such as educational attainment and age, are associated with preterm and low-birthweight births in Chile. Mothers with less than 12 years of education and mothers aged 35 or older were found to be at a higher risk for preterm and low-birthweight newborns.

Summary: Rectal and axillary temperatures in preterm newborns on NICU admission vary significantly, with axillary temperature being sensitive at detecting rectal hypothermia but not hyperthermia. Axillary temperature may not be an accurate proxy for rectal temperature measurement in all preterm newborns on NICU admission.

Summary: Exposure to wildfire-specific PM2.5 is associated with increased risk of preterm birth and term low birth weight. Pregnant women exposed to wildfire-specific PM2.5 are at higher risk for preterm birth and term low birth weight. This study emphasizes the importance of increased attention to pregnant women by policy makers.

Summary: The interpregnancy interval has an impact on perinatal outcomes, and this impact is influenced by the mode of conception. An interpregnancy interval of less than 12 months is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth and low birth weight, while IVF conception is not associated with these increased risks.

Summary: The study found that after the change in some state smoke-free laws, there was a decrease in preterm or low birth weight delivery hospitalization rate among non-Hispanic black mothers, leading to a reduction in racial/ethnic disparities. However, overall, there was no association between the change in smoke-free laws and preterm or low birth weight delivery rate.
