Background: Early detection of myopia risk and timely intervention are key to reducing the incidence of myopia. This study aimed to construct a myopia prediction model that included perinatal factors and evaluate the correlation between each factor and myopia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A questionnaire was used to investigate the related factors. The predictors of myopia onset were determined via univariate analysis (Model A), LASSO regression and 10-fold cross validation (Model B). The perinatal factors in Model B were removed to form Model C. Binary logistic regression was used to establish the model. Then, internal and external verification were performed. The differentiation, calibration, and clinical benefits of the three models were compared.
Results: A total of 1322 participants with an average age of 7.85 ± 1.58 years were included in the study. Model B included age, axial length (AL), AL to corneal curvature (AL/CR) ratio, steep K (K2) value, parental myopia, and maternal history of gestational hypertension. Neither Model A nor Model C included perinatal factors. Model B had the best discrimination ability in the development, internal validation, and external validation groups and showed the best consistency and clinical benefit in all three groups. After model standardization, the effects of the respective variables on the results were as follows: AL/CR ratio: 59.14, maternal history of gestational hypertension: 44.03, AL: 30.47, K2: 5.65, parental myopia: 4.55, and age: 0.35.
Conclusions: A maternal history of gestational hypertension was associated with myopia. The effect of perinatal factors on myopia deserves attention.

Importance: Higher intellectual abilities have been associated with lower mortality risk in several longitudinal cohort studies. However, these studies did not fully account for early life contextual factors or test whether the beneficial associations between higher neurocognitive functioning and mortality extend to children exposed to early adversity.
Objective: To explore how the associations of child neurocognition with mortality changed according to the patterns of adversity children experienced.

Childbirth-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (CB-PTSD) can arise even after low-risk deliveries. This case report describes a 35-year-old woman who, despite a medically uncomplicated vaginal birth, developed severe CB-PTSD after being denied neuraxial analgesia and receiving remifentanil-PCA (remi-PCA) to manage pain. Her distress stemmed from inadequate pain relief, dissociation, and loss of control, exacerbated by unmet expectations for epidural analgesia.

Background: Monochorionic twins, characterized by placental sharing and vascular anastomoses, carry a high risk of brain injury, including perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS). However, the pathophysiology and timing-related risk factors of PAIS remain unclear.
Methods: Retrospective cohort of all monochorionic twins with neuroimaging-confirmed PAIS born from 2005 to 2024 and evaluated at a Dutch national referral center.

Background: The neonatal period is critical for oral microbiome establishment, but temporal patterns in preterm newborns remain unclear. This study examined longitudinal microbiome changes in full-term and preterm newborns and assessed perinatal and clinical influences.
Methods: Oral swabs were collected from 98 newborns (23 full-term, 75 preterm).

This study is aimed at evaluating the cumulative effect of postnatal risk factors on the survival of preterm neonates by examining key clinical parameters and complications across various gestational ages. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from 1109 neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units at two tertiary regional hospitals in Kazakhstan between 2021 and 2024. Patients were classified into three groups based on gestational age: extremely preterm (< 28 weeks, = 223), very preterm (28-31 weeks, = 384), and moderate to late preterm (32-36 weeks, = 502).
