908 Maternal outcomes by mode of delivery among pregnant patients with eclampsia: a retrospective cohort study
For most patients with preeclampsia, cesarean delivery can be reserved for usual obstetric indications, but data are limited for patients with eclampsia. The goal of this study is to evaluate maternal outcomes by intended mode of delivery in patients with eclampsia. (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

857 Validation of the PROMIS © Medication Adherence Scale for Aspirin Among Pregnant Patients
Low-dose aspirin is an essential tool to prevent pre-eclampsia. A measure validated in the prenatal setting to evaluate adherence, which is essential to efficacy, is lacking. We investigated the validity and performance of an instrument validated outside a pregnant population to measure medication adherence among pregnant patients of low socioeconomic status who were recommended low-dose aspirin.

46 Subtypes of hypertension years after a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy
Isolated diastolic hypertension (HTN) is prevalent in young adults and imparts increased cardiovascular risk. Our objective was to determine whether subtypes of HTN (isolated diastolic, isolated systolic, and combined systolic-diastolic) differ years after index pregnancy complicated by hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP, including preeclampsia, eclampsia, gestational hypertension) compared with normotensive pregnancy.

41 ASpirin in Placental and maternal Endothelial cell Regulation IN pre-eclampsia (ASPERIN Trial): Primary Outcome
Recent findings suggest biophysical differences in uterine artery Doppler profile can be identified with exposure to low dose aspirin. Dose effects however have not been adequately investigated. We hypothesized variations in uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA PI) may be identified based on dose. (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Exploring the Complex Interplay of Trace Elements and Their Association with the Risk of Development of Pre-eclampsia in Pregnancy: a Case-Control
This study examines the intricate relationship between trace elements (magnesium, copper, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, and iron) and the severity of pre-eclampsia. The study involves a total of 150 participants, categorized into three distinct groups: 50 individuals with mild pre-eclampsia, 50 with severe pre-eclampsia, and 50 healthy pregnant controls. Specifically, out of the 100 pre-eclampsia cases, 5 were identified as early-onset and 95 as late-onset. Participants were recruited from a tertiary care hospital based on stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the trace elements were quantitatively measured by direc...

Effects of armed conflict on maternal and infant health: a mixed-methods study of Armenia and the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war
Conclusions
Maternal and infant health measures showed adverse trends during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, potentially amplified by the concurrent COVID-19 pandemic. To mitigate effects of future crises on population health in Armenia, informants recommended investments in healthcare system reform focused on primary care and health promotion. (Source: BMJ Open)

Exposure to ambient black carbon and particulate matter during pregnancy in associations with risk of pre-eclampsia: A meta-analysis based on population-based studies
Environ Pollut. 2023 Dec 27:123230. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.123230. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT▣Air pollution control protocols and policies formulated for PM2.5 and PM10 (particulate matter [PM] with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤2.5 and 10 μm), however, such protocols and policies have not been available for black carbon (BC). A growing number of studies have evaluated the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution with BC and PM and pre-eclampsia. We applied a meta-analysis to estimate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) based on four exposure windows (first/second/...
