Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of gestational age at birth based on last menstrual period and ultrasound during the first trimester
Caroline S. Hoffman,Lynne C. Messer,Pauline Mendola,David A. Savitz,Amy H. Herring,Katherine E Hartmann,Katherine E Hartmann +6 more
TL;DR: First trimester report of LMP reasonably approximates gestational age obtained from first trimester ultrasound, but the degree of discrepancy between estimates varies by important maternal characteristics, particularly among young women, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic women, and mothers of low-birthweight infants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drinking water disinfection by-product exposure and fetal growth.
Caroline S. Hoffman,Pauline Mendola,David A. Savitz,Amy H. Herring,Dana Loomis,Katherine E Hartmann,Philip C. Singer,Howard S. Weinberg,Andrew F. Olshan +8 more
TL;DR: The effects of exposure to TTHMs, haloacetic acids, and total organic halide on the probability of delivering a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant and on birth weight at term are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endometriosis Among Women Exposed to Polybrominated Biphenyls
Caroline S. Hoffman,Chanley M. Small,Heidi M. Blanck,Paige E. Tolbert,Carol Rubin,Michele Marcus +5 more
TL;DR: This study does not support an association between PBB exposure and endometriosis, but findings for serum PCB level are consistent with an emerging body of literature suggesting an association.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drinking water disinfection by-product exposure and duration of gestation.
Caroline S. Hoffman,Pauline Mendola,David A. Savitz,Amy H. Herring,Dana Loomis,Katherine E Hartmann,Philip C. Singer,Howard S. Weinberg,Andrew F. Olshan +8 more
TL;DR: The probability of preterm birth was not increased with high DBP exposure and the conditional odds of delivery each week were decreased for the highest TTHM and HAA5 exposure groups versus the low exposure group for gestational weeks 33–40.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between water intake and foetal growth and preterm delivery in a prospective cohort study.
TL;DR: High water intake may be associated with higher mean birth weight following adjustment for confounding, and an exposure-response gradient was not detected for either preterm delivery or SGA with increasing total water intake and total tap water intake.
