Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Blood Test Predicts Preterm birth.
A new study from the University of Toronto suggests a simple blood test could help identify expectant mothers at risk for preterm delivery. The researchers followed over 9,000 pregnant women and found that low levels of placental growth factor (PlGF) at 24-28 weeks are associated with a 50-fold higher risk of delivery before 34 weeks.
Since PlGF testing is already used in early pregnancy screenings, experts believe it could be easily integrated into routine prenatal care.
Early detection could allow for better monitoring, medication to manage blood pressure, and delivery planning at specialized hospitals—potentially improving outcomes for both mother and baby.

A greater porportion of infants born to mothers with IDD who were covered by Medicaid had poor outcomes compared to other infants. Prevalence of poor infant outcomes was greater for mothers with IDD even after accounting for demographic differences. It is imperative to understand why infants of moth …
Living in an area with high police presence increases the odds of a premature birth for both Black and white residents. Greater police presence in Black vs white neighborhoods may contribute to the persistent Black-White preterm birth disparity.
