Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

4.4K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Regression Toward the Mean

7.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • A previous study in Obstetrics & Gynecology by MacDorman et al. (2016) highlighted maternal mortality in Texas.
  • Maternal mortality and morbidity in Texas have been a growing concern, prompting further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a commentary on maternal mortality trends in Texas.
  • To discuss the discrepancies in reported maternal mortality rates based on statistical methods.
  • To outline risk factors, causes, and ongoing state efforts to address maternal death.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of maternal mortality data from Texas.
  • Comparison of different statistical methodologies for calculating maternal mortality rates.
  • Review of risk factors and causes of maternal death.

Main Results:

  • A sharp increase in maternal mortality in Texas from 2010 to 2011 is acknowledged by state health authorities.
  • The magnitude of the maternal mortality rate increase varies significantly depending on the statistical methods employed.
  • Methodological challenges exist in accurately identifying and reporting maternal deaths.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate measurement of maternal mortality rates in Texas is complex and influenced by statistical approaches.
  • Understanding the causes and risk factors is crucial for developing effective interventions.
  • State-level initiatives are in progress to mitigate maternal mortality.
