Postpartum Hemorrhage As a Marker of Cancer

Abstract The association between carcinogenesis and subsequent bleeding is established. We investigated whether postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) may be a marker of clinically unrecognized cancer in women of reproductive age. In the full population, 51 224 women comprised the PPH cohort, and 536 016 women comprised the comparison cohort.

Threatened abortion and risk of epilepsy, cerebral palsy and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children

Abstract Previous research revealed that children born from threatened abortion (TAB)-affected gestation are at 2-3 fold increased risk of autism spectrum disorders and developmental coordination disorder. In conventional cohort analysis, TAB-affected children had a 21-25% higher relative risk of epilepsy, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in the first 16 years of life and 42% higher relative risk of cerebral palsy in the first 6 years of life.
