“…Self-reported mean Ϯ SD birth weight in our study was 3.37 Ϯ 0.7 kg, which was similar whether birth weight was obtained from family members or from medical records (mean Ϯ SD 3.35 Ϯ 0.6 versus 3.37 Ϯ 0.7 kg; after adjustment for age and sex; P ϭ 0.36) (2). The birth weight of our study population is similar to the recent average Australian birth weight of 3.46 kg for boys and 3.33 kg for girls (35). Individuals with the highest and lowest birth weights tend to report normal birth weight (36), which will lead to underestimation of arthroplasty risk associated with LBW.…”

Objective. Low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth have been associated with adverse adult outcomes, including hypertension, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and reduced bone mass. It is unknown whether LBW and preterm birth affect the risk of osteoarthritis (OA). This study aims to examine whether LBW and preterm birth were associated with the incidence of knee and hip arthroplasty for OA.

“…Gestational age was based on the best clinical estimate using ultrasound examination and/or last menstruation period. Birth weight for gestational age was based on Australian national birth weight percentiles for gestational age by infant sex [20]. SGA was defined as <10 th percentiles and stratified to moderately SGA (3 rd -<10 th percentiles) and extremely SGA (<3 rd percentiles).…”

SummaryBackground and objectives Pregnancy in ESRD is rare and poses substantial risk for mother and baby. This study describes a large series of pregnancies in women undergoing long-term dialysis treatment and reviews maternal and fetal outcomes. Specifically, women who had conceived before and after starting long-term dialysis are compared.Design, setting, participants, & measurement All pregnancies reported to the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplantation Registry from 2001 to 2011 (n=77), following the introduction of specific parenthood data collection, were analyzed.Results Between 2001 and 2011, there were 77 pregnancies among 73 women. Of these, 53 pregnancies were in women who conceived after long-term dialysis was established and 24 pregnancies occurred before dialysis began. The overall live birth rate (after exclusion of elective terminations) was 73%. In pregnancies reaching 20 weeks gestation, the live birth rate was 82%. Women who conceived before dialysis commenced had significantly higher live birth rates (91% versus 63%; P=0.03), but infants had similar birthweight and gestational age. This difference in live birth rate was primarily due to higher rates of early pregnancy loss before 20 weeks in women who conceived after dialysis was established. In pregnancies that reached 20 weeks or more, the live birth rate was higher in women with conception before dialysis commenced (91% versus 76%; P=0.28). Overall, the median gestational age was 33.8 weeks (interquartile range, 30.6-37.6 weeks) and median birthweight was 1750 g (interquartile range, 1130-2417 g). More than 40% of pregnancies reached .34 weeks' gestation; prematurity at ,28 weeks was 11.4% and 28-day neonatal survival rate was 98%.Conclusions Women with kidney disease who start long-term dialysis after conception have superior live birth rates compared with those already established on dialysis at the time of conception, although these pregnancies remain high risk.
