Abstract:
(Abstracted from Obstet Gynecol 2025;146:121-128) Syphilis during pregnancy has long been linked to poor maternal and fetal outcomes, including stillbirth, prematurity, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, and increased health care costs. With rates of both maternal and congenital syphilis rising over the past decade, there is a strong need for updated data on adverse outcomes in pregnancies affected by syphilis.
