Antipsychotic Use in Pregnancy and the Risk for Congenital Malformations

TL;DR: Evidence from this large study suggests that use of APs early in pregnancy generally does not meaningfully increase the risk for congenital malformations overall or cardiac mal Formations in particular.

Lithium Use in Pregnancy and the Risk of Cardiac Malformations.

TL;DR: Maternal use of lithium during the first trimester was associated with an increased risk of cardiac malformations, including Ebstein's anomaly; the magnitude of this effect was smaller than had been previously postulated.

Racial and ethnic disparities in severe maternal morbidity prevalence and trends

TL;DR: The prevalence of SMM varied considerably by race/ethnicity but increased at similarly high rates among all racial/ethnic groups, which remained persistent over time.

Validation of an obstetric comorbidity index in an external population.

TL;DR: This study aimed to externally validate this index and to examine the impact of including hospitalisation/delivery records only when estimating comorbidity prevalence and discriminative performance of the obstetric comorbridity index.

Rural-Urban Differences In Severe Maternal Morbidity And Mortality In The US, 2007–15

TL;DR: It is found that severe maternal morbidity and mortality increased among both rural and urban residents in the study period, and when controlled for sociodemographic factors and clinical conditions, rural residents had a 9 percent greater probability of severe maternal mortality, compared with urban residents.

Evaluating the added predictive ability of a new marker: From area under the ROC curve to reclassification and beyond

TL;DR: Two new measures, one based on integrated sensitivity and specificity and the other on reclassification tables, are introduced that offer incremental information over the AUC and are proposed to be considered in addition to the A UC when assessing the performance of newer biomarkers.
