TL;DR: Genetic factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease may also be linked to pre-eclampsia, which occurs in 3-5% of pregnancies and is compatible with maternal genes for thrombophilia having an effect on therisk of pre- eClampsia and of death from cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide association study of educational attainment was conducted in a discovery sample of 101,069 individuals and a replication sample of 25,490 individuals, and three independent SNPs are genome wide significant (rs9320913, rs11584700, rs4851266).

Combined effects of sleeping position and prenatal risk factors in sudden infant death syndrome: the Nordic Epidemiological SIDS Study.
Nina Øyen,Trond Markestad,R. Skaerven,Lorentz M. Irgens,Karin Helweg-Larsen,Bernt Alm,G. Norvenius,Göran Wennergren +7 more
TL;DR: The risk of SIDS was increased further in low birth weight infants, preterm infants, and infants at the age of 13 to 24 weeks, suggesting that SIDS may be triggered by nonsupine sleeping in infants with prenatal risk factors during a vulnerable period of postnatal development.

The course and outcome of pregnancy in women with bronchial asthma.
Sami L. Bahna,Tor Bjerkedal +1 more
TL;DR: The literature does not provide consistent information on the reciprocal etfects of pregnancy and bronchial asthma, and the course and outcome of pregnancy in asthmatic women, high foetal and neonatal mortalities have been reported.

The Course and Outcome of Pregnancy in Women with Epilepsy
TL;DR: Comparisons indicate that women with epilepsy experience an excess of complications during pregnancy and labour, and that their babies are more frequently born prematurely and of low birth weight, and moreover have an exceed of congenital malformations and higher perinatal and neonatal mortality rates.

Perinatal mortality by birth order within cohorts based on sibship size.
L S Bakketeig,H J Hoffman +1 more
TL;DR: A study of a large, population-based longitudinal data set shows that cross-sectional surveys of perinatal mortality show a U-shaped curve when plotted against parity, but that this result is an artefact and that per inatal mortality falls with increasing parity.

Prospective assessment of recurrence risk in sudden infant death syndrome siblings
TL;DR: Methodologic considerations with respect to the studies of recurrence risk already published indicate that the rates reported are overestimates, and this suspicion is confirmed by this study based on 826,162 infants surviving the first week of life on file in the Medical Birth Registry of Norway.
