Almost half of the cohort of endometrial cancer in women ≤50 has obesity. The prognosis in this cohort is generally excellent. Half of the deaths were due to non-cancer causes, emphasizing the need for a focus on overall health.

There is a lack of data on outcomes following IOL for different medical indications. We found an increased relative risk of cesarean versus spontaneous vaginal birth after IOL due to large fetus, post-term pregnancy, preeclampsia/hypertension, and diabetes compared to PROM.

Maternal asthma and allergic predisposition are associated with an increased risk of congenital heart defects in offspring, particularly ventricular septal defects. The risk of ventricular septal defects is evident in cases of allergic asthma and atopy, but not in nonallergic asthma.

In the Netherlands, the incidence of preterm birth in singletons is subject to seasonality. Pregnancies conceived in April and May have the highest incidences of preterm birth <37 weeks. Fetuses are at the highest risk for preterm birth between October and January and lowest in February and April.

Maternal diabetes, fever, positive urinary or vaginal/cervical culture, fetal tachycardia, and decreasing short-term variation were associated with an increased risk for EONS in a PPROM population. A model combining these risk factors performed better at indicating EONS risk than the clinicians' suspicion of intra-amniotic infection.
