Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

2.3K
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...

Prevalence and Incidence01:08

Prevalence and Incidence

292
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...

Oogenesis02:07

Oogenesis

63.3K
In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

111
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

6.3K
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...

Summary

A prior preterm birth (PTB) significantly increases recurrence risk, especially for the same subtype. Non-Hispanic Black and Asian/Pacific Islander women face higher risks, highlighting disparities and the need for targeted interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Perinatal Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Preterm birth (PTB) is a major public health concern with significant obstetric and perinatal consequences.
  • A history of PTB is a known risk factor for recurrence, but influences of race/ethnicity, gestational age, PTB subtypes, and interpregnancy intervals (IPI) require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate how factors including race/ethnicity, gestational age, PTB subtypes (spontaneous/indicated), and IPI modify the risk of PTB recurrence.
  • To identify specific risk factors and disparities associated with PTB recurrence in a large, diverse population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of singleton pregnancies (2009-2022) using electronic health record data from Kaiser Permanente Southern California.
  • Inclusion of women with two (82,610) and three (14,925) pregnancies.
  • Natural language processing for PTB subtype identification (sPTB, iPTB); logistic regression for risk assessment (aOR, 95% CI).

Main Results:

  • A first PTB increased the risk of a second PTB sixfold (23.29% vs. 4.98%).
  • Recurrence risk was higher for the same PTB subtype (sPTB: aOR 5.32; iPTB: aOR 8.26).
  • Higher recurrence risks observed in Non-Hispanic Black and Asian/Pacific Islander women compared to Non-Hispanic Whites; risk increased substantially with PTB in both prior pregnancies (aOR 14.59).

Conclusions:

  • PTB recurrence risk is significantly elevated, particularly for the same subtype and across racial/ethnic groups, indicating persistent disparities.
  • Early gestational age deliveries (20-33 weeks) showed substantially higher recurrence.
  • Findings underscore the necessity for subtype-specific analyses and targeted interventions to address PTB recurrence disparities.
