Effects on Maternal Mental Health and Parental Functioning of an Interdisciplinary Intervention to Support Women in Vulnerable Positions Through Pregnancy and Early Motherhood: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

The transition to motherhood can be particularly challenging for women with limited socioeconomic resources or mental health concerns. The FAmily Clinic And Municipality (FACAM) intervention was designed to provide additional support through health visitors or family therapists, starting in pregnancy and continuing until the child reached school age. This paper evaluates the effects of the FACAM intervention on the secondary outcomes, maternal mental health and parental functioning during the child's first year of life.

A nationwide register-based cohort study examined the association between preeclampsia in mothers and the risk of kidney disease in their offspring.

Introduction: Women with preeclampsia often deliver preterm (under 37 weeks of gestation). Preterm birth is associated with an increased risk of offspring kidney disease, but whether preeclampsia is independently associated with kidney disease risk is unknown. Here, we conducted a register-based cohort study to explore associations between maternal preeclampsia and offspring kidney disease after accounting for preterm birth.

Breast cancer in women with previous gestational diabetes: a nationwide register-based cohort study.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication characterized by insulin resistance. A link has been suggested between insulin resistance and breast cancer, which is the most common cancer in women. Hence, women with previous GDM may be at increased risk of developing breast cancer, yet, the existing evidence is conflicting.

Labor outcomes in caseload midwifery compared with standard midwifery care: A cohort study.

Background: Research has shown caseload midwifery to increase the chance of vaginal birth, but this may not be the case in settings with high vaginal birth rates in standard care. This study investigated the association between caseload midwifery and birth mode, labor interventions, and maternal and neonatal outcomes at a large obstetric unit in Denmark.

Methods: Cohort study including medical records on live, singleton births fr om June 2018 until February 2022.

Reproductive history of parous women and urinary incontinence in midlife: A National Birth Cohort follow-up study.

Objective: To investigate how reproductive history was associated with urinary incontinence in midlife.

Design: A follow-up study.

Setting: Denmark.

Effects on Child Development and Parent-Child Interaction of the FACAM Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Study of an Interdisciplinary Intervention to Support Women in Vulnerable Positions through Pregnancy and Early Motherhood.

Health inequality can have a profound impact on a child's life. Maternal mental health challenges can hinder bonding, leading to impaired functioning and poorer child outcomes. To provide extra support for vulnerable pregnant women, the FACAM intervention offers the services of a health nurse or family therapist from pregnancy until the child starts school.

Integrating multiple lines of evidence to assess the effects of maternal BMI on pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.

Background: Higher maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) is associated with adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. However, whether these associations are causal remains unclear.

Methods: We explored the relation of maternal pre-/early-pregnancy BMI with 20 pregnancy and perinatal outcomes by integrating evidence from three different approaches (i.

Adherence to different forms of plant-based diets and pregnancy outcomes in the Danish National Birth Cohort: A prospective observational study.

Introduction: The number of people adhering to plant-based diets has been increasing dramatically in recent years, fueled by both environmental and animal welfare concerns. Beneficial or possible adverse consequences of such diets, particularly the most restrictive forms during pregnancy, have been minimally explored. The aim of this prospective observational study was to examine associations between different forms of plant-based diets during pregnancy with birth outcomes and pregnancy complications.

Urinary Incontinence in Midlife According to Weight Changes Across and After Childbearing Years.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to investigate how weight change across and after the childbearing years was associated with urinary incontinence (UI) in midlife.

Methods: Data were obtained from 35,645 women responding to the Maternal Follow-up questionnaire in the Danish National Birth Cohort in 2013-2014. Outcome was self-reported UI and its subtypes.

Kidney Disease in Women With Previous Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Nationwide Register-Based Cohort Study.

Objective: The association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and incident kidney disease, the mediating effects of diabetes and hypertension, and the impact of severity of metabolic dysfunction during pregnancy on the risk of incident kidney disease were investigated in this study.

Research Design And Methods: This Danish, nationwide, register-based cohort study included all women giving birth between 1997 and 2018. Outcomes included chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney disease, based on diagnosis codes.

Mode of birth and long-term maternal mental health: A follow-up study in the Danish National Birth Cohort.

Background: Cesarean birth has been associated with increased risks of short-term mental health problems. Little is known about whether these associations persist in the long term. This study aimed to estimate the associations between mode of birth and maternal mental health in midlife while considering mental health before and during pregnancy.

Early environmental risk factors and coeliac disease in adolescents: a population-based cohort study in Denmark.

Objectives: Our aim was to investigate the association between early environmental factors and the development of coeliac disease (CeD) in adolescents, recruited from a cohort nested in the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC).

Design: The study was designed as a prospective cohort study, nested in DNBC PARTICIPANTS: The Glutenfunen cohort comprises 1266 participants, nested in DNBC. All participants were screened for CeD, and in total, 28 cases of biopsy proven CeD were identified.

Parity, mode of birth, and long-term gynecological health: A follow-up study of parous and nonparous women in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health cohort.

Background: Although gynecological health issues are common and cause considerable distress, little is known about their causes. We examined how birth history is associated with urinary incontinence (UI), severe period pain, heavy periods, and endometriosis.

Methods: We studied 7700 women in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health with an average follow-up of 10.

Understanding the genetic complexity of puberty timing across the allele frequency spectrum.

Pubertal timing varies considerably and has been associated with a range of health outcomes in later life. To elucidate the underlying biological mechanisms, we performed multi-ancestry genetic analyses in ~800,000 women, identifying 1,080 independent signals associated with age at menarche. Collectively these loci explained 11% of the trait variance in an independent sample, with women at the top and bottom 1% of polygenic risk exhibiting a ~11 and ~14-fold higher risk of delayed and precocious pubertal development, respectively.

Fractures in Childhood and Young Adulthood According to Maternal Smoking in Late Pregnancy. A Danish Cohort Study.

Fractures account for the most frequent cause of hospitalization during childhood and numbers have increased over time. Of all fractures in childhood and young adulthood, 66% are recurrent fractures, suggesting that some people are predestined for fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between maternal smoking during late pregnancy and the risk of fractures in the children.

Prayer and meditation practices in the early COVID-19 pandemic: A nationwide survey among Danish pregnant women. The COVIDPregDK study.

Background: The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the derived changes in maternity care have created stress and anxiety among pregnant women in different parts of the world. In times of stress and crisis, spirituality, including spiritual and religious practices, may increase.

Objective: To describe if the COVID-19 pandemic influenced pregnant women's considerations and practises of existential meaning-making and to investigate such considerations and practices during the early pandemic in a large nationwide sample.
