Gestational age is positively associated with cognitive development, but socio-demographic factors also influence school performance. Previous studies suggested possible interaction, putting children with low socio-economic status (SES) at increased risk of the negative effects of prematurity. To investigate the association between gestational age ...

Advances in screening and diagnostics have changed the way in which we identify and diagnose congenital anomalies. To examine changes in rates of prenatal diagnosis of congenital anomalies over time and by demographic characteristics. We undertook a population-based retrospective cohort study of all children born in Western Australia between 1980 a...

Toxic metals, like lead, are risk factors for preterm birth (PTB), but few studies have examined low levels found in most Canadians. Vitamin D, which may have antioxidant activity, protects against PTB. In this study, we investigated the impact of toxic metals (lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic) on PTB and examined if maternal plasma vitamin D con...

Short interpregnancy interval has been associated with increased risk of preterm delivery; recent studies employing within-sibship designs suggest that this risk may be exaggerated. There are unresolved issues regarding properties of this design. To compare directly the results, for short intervals, of between-person and within-sibship analyses whe...

Historical reports suggest that infants born small for gestational age (SGA) are at increased risk for high blood pressure (BP) at older ages after adjustment for later age body size. Such adjustment may be inappropriate since adiposity is a known cause of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. To assess the association between SGA births and later ...

Historical mortgage redlining, a racially discriminatory policy designed to uphold structural racism, may have played a role in producing the persistently elevated rate of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) among racialised birthing people. This study examined associations between Home-Owner Loan Corporation (HOLC) redlining grades and SMM in a racial...

Air pollution is a health risk in pregnant women and children. Despite the importance of refined exposure assessment, the characterisation of personalised air pollution exposure remains a challenge in paediatric and perinatal epidemiology. We used portable personal air monitors to characterise personalised exposure to air pollutants in pregnant wom...
