Rehospitalization Following Discharge from Newborn Nursery during Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Pandemic
Conclusion Rehospitalization ≤7 days post-WBN discharge was more common in infants born during the pandemic. Infants rehospitalized during the pandemic were more likely to have shorter WBN LOS and to be rehospitalized for hyperbilirubinemia. Retrospective analyses limit conclusions about causation but suggest that being born during the pandemic increased risk of rehospitalization for hyperbilirubinemia among infants in urban, under resourced setting warranting further investigation.

Temporal Trend in Maternal Morbidity and Comorbidity
Conclusion The rise in the prevalence of comorbidity in pregnancy seems to fuel the rise in SMM. Interventions to prevent SMM should include the management and prevention of pregnancy-associated hypertension.

Neonatal Outcomes among Fetuses with an Abdominal Circumference < 3rd %ile and Estimated Fetal Weight 3rd to 9th %ile Compared to Fetuses with an EFW < 3rd %ile
Conclusion Although AC <3rd %ile with EFW 3rd to 9th %ile is associated with a lower frequency of SGA and neonatal morbidity than EFW <3 %ile, fetuses with AC <3 %ile still exhibited moderate rates of these adverse perinatal outcomes. Consideration should be given to inclusion of an AC <3rd %ile with EFW 3rd to 9th %ile as a criterion for sFGR. However, prospective studies comparing delivery at 37 versus 38 to 39 weeks' gestation are needed to ensure improved outcomes before widespread adaptation in clinical practice.

Trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder as Important Risk Factors for Gestational Metabolic Dysfunction
Am J Perinatol DOI: 10.1055/a-2260-5051Gestational metabolic diseases adversely impact the health of pregnant persons and their offspring. Pregnant persons of color are impacted disproportionately by gestational metabolic disease, highlighting the need to identify additional risk factors contributing to racial-ethnic pregnancy-related health disparities. Trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are associated with increased risk for cardiometabolic disorders in nonpregnant persons, making them important factors to consider when identifying contributors to gestational metabolic morbidity and mortality health...

Continuous Neuromuscular Blockade for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Conclusion In this case series of infants with severe BPD, there were no survivors among those receiving ≥25 days of CNMB. Linear growth, an essential growth parameter for infants with BPD, decreased in most patients. These data do not support the use of ≥25 days of CNMB to prevent mortality in infants with severe BPD.

A Description of IVIG Use in Term Neonates with ABO Incompatibility
Conclusion The results of this large retrospective study reveal that giving IVIG to neonates with ABO incompatibility was associated with increased simple or exchange transfusions. Newborns with B+ blood type required more phototherapy and IVIG. Further studies are needed to better stratify neonates who would benefit from IVIG use in order to optimize treatment strategies and avoid unnecessary risks and adverse events.

Performance of a Maternal Risk Stratification System for Predicting Low Apgar Scores
Conclusion A maternal morbidity risk stratification system does not perform well in most patients giving birth, at low risk for neonatal complications. The findings suggest that the association between EOCS and 5-minute Apgar <7 likely reflects a relationship with prematurity. This study cautions against intentional or unintentional extrapolation of maternal morbidity risk for neonatal risk, especially for term deliveries.

Intimate Partner Violence and Depression Screening of Mothers with Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Conclusion There was a marked difference between what mothers reported in their health history at admission versus evidence-based surveys in a private setting. These results challenge assumptions that accurate screening happens at hospital admission. It is imperative to use evidence-based scales after delivery to improve outcomes.
