Birth Weight in Consecutive Pregnancies and Maternal Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Among Spontaneous and Iatrogenic Term Births: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Abstract:Knowledge on the association between offspring birth weight and long-term risk of maternal cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality is often based on firstborn infants without consideration of women’s consecutive births. We studied long-term CVD mortality according to offspring birth weight patterns among women with spontaneous and iatrogenic term deliveries in Norway (1967–2020). We constructed birth weight quartiles (Qs) by combining standardized birth weight with gestational age in quartiles (Q1, Q2/Q3, and Q… Show more
