(Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2023;228(6):728.e1–728.e8) Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common types of birth defects and affects 8 to 9 per 1000 births. Many patients who have it are diagnosed in infancy, but some are not diagnosed until later in life. The number of patients with CHD who reach childbearing years has increased substantially. Pregnancy can pose difficult challenges, especially in labor and delivery. The physiologic changes that occur during delivery, including increased cardiac demand, rapid changes in intravascular volume, and blood loss, result in significant risk for patients with CHD. The European Registry of Pregnancy and Cardiac disease and the Cardiac Disease in Pregnancy 2 studies have demonstrated that the immediate postpartum period is the highest risk time for heart failure.

(Obstet Gynecol. 2023;141:563–569) Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing illness, including in mildly immunosuppressed individuals such as pregnant women. Influenza vaccines have been in use for decades and have been shown to be safe and effective at preventing illness in both mother and child, providing protection through the transplacental transfer of antibodies to infants too young to receive their own vaccination. Influenza presents increased risks to pregnant individuals as well as adverse outcomes for fetuses and infants. Annual influenza vaccinations are recommended for everyone 6 months and older, but rates of annual vaccinations are chronically low. This study was designed to evaluate the association between influenza vaccination during pregnancy and infant influenza vaccination.

(Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2023;228:592.e1–592.e10) Educational childbirth resources (including technology) can benefit pregnant women in several different ways. This includes lowering anxiety and fear around childbirth, decreasing perceptions of pain, and improving a sense of overall control throughout the birthing process. This study aimed to assess how educational podcasts can influence a pregnant woman’s labor experience, specifically through patient satisfaction and a sense of control during childbirth.

The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of cardiac arrest from 2017 to 2019 in the United States by patient demographics, co-morbidity, and type and size of hospital. This analysis can aid in identifying strategies to reduce pregnancy-related maternal morbidity and mortality.

(Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2023;102:635–643) Both placental growth factor (PlGF) and tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt1) are predicted to be factors in impaired placentation, which is known to lead to diseases such as pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction (FGR).

This study aimed to determine the effects that high levels of PlGF and sFlt1 have on the deterioration of FGR in neonates.

(N Engl J Med. 2023;389:540–548) Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by immunoglobulin G antiplatelet antibodies that lead to reduced platelet production and increased platelet clearance. It affects 1 in 3 people per 10,000 in the United States. ITP is more common in women of childbearing age, and during pregnancy, platelet counts may decrease, requiring special medical attention. Immunoglobulin G antiplatelet antibodies can also affect the fetus. The clinical variability of ITP complicates diagnosis and treatment, and uncertainty remains for many aspects of management. This article focuses on recent research on the risk assessment and management of primary ITP.
