Obstetric Interventions Among Native and Migrant Women: The (Over)use of Episio...
Lorthe, E; Severo, M; Hamwi, S; Rodrigues, T; Teixeira, C; Barros, HObjective: Episiotomy, defined as the incision of the perineum to enlarge the vaginal opening during childbirth, is one of the most commonly performed surgical interventions in the world. We aimed to determine if migrant status is associated with episiotomy, and if individual characteristics mediate this association. Methods: We analyzed data from the Bambino study, a national, prospective cohort of migrant and...
Migrant-Native Disparities in Obstetric Neuraxial Analgesia Use: The Role of Ho...
Hamwi, S; Barros, H; Lorthe, EBACKGROUND: Neuraxial analgesia (NA) is the most effective modality in managing labor pain with widespread availability in high-income countries. Previous research has reported a differential obstetric NA use among migrant and native women, but the contribution of language barriers is not well understood. We aimed to investigate whether host-country language proficiency among migrant women influences NA use and...
Second-trimester amniotic fluid proteins changes in subsequent spontaneous pret...
Marcellin, L; Batteux, F; Chouzenoux, S; Schmitz, T; Lorthe, E; Mehats, C; Goffinet, F; Kayem, GIntroductionThe global sequence of the pathogenesis of preterm labor remains unclear. This study aimed to compare amniotic fluid concentrations of extracellular matrix-related proteins (procollagen, osteopontin and IL-33), and of cytokines (IL-19, IL-6, IL-20, TNF alpha, TGF beta, and IL-1 beta) in asymptomatic women with and without subsequent spontaneous preterm delivery. Material and methodsWe used amniotic ...
Migrant and native women's perceptions of prenatal care communication quality: ...
Hamwi, S; Lorthe, E; Severo, M; Barros, HBackgroundDespite the potentially significant impact of women-prenatal care provider communication quality (WPCQ) on women's perinatal health, evidence on the determinants of those perceptions is still lacking, particularly among migrant women.MethodsWe aimed to examine the effect of women's host-country language proficiency on their perceived WPCQ. We analyzed the data of 1210 migrant and 1400 native women who...
Using Digital Tools to Study the Health of Adults Born Preterm at a Large Scale...
Lorthe, E; Santos, C; Ornelas, JP; Doetsch, JN; Marques, SCS; Teixeira, R; Santos, AC; Rodrigues, C; Gonçalves, G; Sousa, PF; Lopes, JC; Rocha, ABackground: Preterm birth is a global health concern. Its adverse consequences may persist throughout the life course, exerting a potentially heavy burden on families, health systems, and societies. In high-income countries, the first children who benefited from improved care are now adults entering middle age. However, there is a clear gap in the knowledge regarding the long-term outcomes of individuals born p...
Host-country language proficiency and migrant-native disparities in prenatal ca...
Hamwi, S; Lorthe, E; Barros, HBackground: Migrant-native disparities in perinatal health and care utilization are well-established, yet most evidence comes from countries without universal health coverage. Migrant-specific factors potentially contributing to such disparities are seldom examined. We investigated the association between migration and host-country language proficiency and inadequate utilization of prenatal care (PNC) in Portug...
Time trends in episiotomy and severe perineal tears in Portugal: a nationwide r...
Teixeira, C; Lorthe, E; Barros, HIntroduction: Rates of episiotomy and severe perineal tears (SPT) are indicators of the quality of obstetric care. Time-trends in the reported occurrence of episiotomy and SPT can contribute to understand both, changes in care and in the frequency of risk factors. Therefore, we aimed to estimate time trends in the frequency of SPT in Portugal and its relationship with episiotomy. Methods: We conducted a nationw...
Cohort Profile: the Etude Epidémiologique sur les Petits Ages Gestationnels-2 (...
Lorthe, E; Benhammou, V; Marchand-Martin, L; Pierrat, V; Lebeaux, C; Durox, M; Goffinet, F; Kaminski, M; Ancel, PY; EPIPAGE-2 Study GroupMedical practices and the organization of care vary widely across countries and have markedly evolved over the past two decades. The prognosis of very preterm infants has changed accordingly, raising new questions and requiring new assessments. We therefore set up the EPIPAGE-2 cohort, a new longitudinal study of preterm infants, with the following objectives: to provide actualized estimates of short- and long-...
Association between extremely preterm caesarean delivery and maternal depressiv...
Blanc, J; Rességuier, N; Lorthe, E; Goffinet, F; Sentilhes, L; Auquier, P; Tosello, B; d'Ercole, CObjective: To evaluate whether caesarean delivery before 26 weeks of gestation was associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety in mothers in comparison with deliveries between 26 and 34 weeks. Design: Prospective national population-based EPIPAGE-2 cohort study. Setting: 268 neonatology departments in France, March to December 2011. Population: Mothers who delivered between 22 and 34 weeks and whose self...
Completeness of Retention Data and Determinants of Attrition in Birth Cohorts o...
Teixeira, R; Queiroga, AC; Freitas, AI; Lorthe, E; Santos, AC; Moreira, C; Barros, HBackground: Birth cohorts provided essential knowledge for clinical and public health decision-making. However, little is known about retention and determinants of attrition in these specific longitudinal studies, although characterizing predictors of attrition sets the path to mitigate its occurrence and to promote valid inferences. We systematically reviewed retention in follow-ups of birth cohorts of very pr...
