SARS-CoV-2-Placental effects and association with stillbirth
BJOG. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1111/1471-0528.17698. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSARS-CoV-2 has had a significant impact on pregnancy outcomes due to the effects of the virus and the altered healthcare environment. Stillbirth has been relatively hidden during the COVID-19 pandemic, but a clear link between SARS-CoV-2 and poor fetal outcome emerged in the Alpha and Delta waves. A small minority of women/birthing people who contracted COVID-19 developed SARS-CoV-2 placentitis. In many reported cases this was linked to intrauterine fetal death, although there are cases of delivery just before imminent fetal demise and we shall ...

Prediction of spontaneous preterm birth using supervised machine learning on metabolomic data: A case-cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: We identified and internally validated maternal serum metabolites predictive of sPTB. A lysolipid, 1-palmitoleoyl-GPE (16:1)*, is a novel predictor of sPTB and sETB. Further validation in external populations is required.PMID:37984426 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17723 (Source: BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)
