Polycystic ovary syndrome and gestational diabetes mellitus association to pregnancy outcomes: A national register‐based cohort study Open

Ragnheidur Valdimarsdottir, Eszter Vanky, Evangelia Elenis, Fredrik Ahlsson, Linda Lindström , et al. · 2024

Introduction It is well known that both women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have increased risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes, but little is known whether the combination of these…

Does Developing Interpregnancy Hypertension Affect the Recurrence Risk of Preeclampsia? A Population-Based Cohort Study Open

Inger Björk Ragnarsdóttir, Tansim Akhter, Katja Junus, Linda Lindström, Susanne Lager , et al. · 2024

BACKGROUND Preeclampsia in a first pregnancy is a strong risk factor for preeclampsia in a second pregnancy. Whether chronic hypertension developed after a first pregnancy (interpregnancy hypertension) affects the recurrence risk of preecl…

Combined maternal central adiposity measures in relation to infant birth size Open

Emelie Lindberger, Fredrik Ahlsson, Katja Junus, Anna‐Karin Wikström, Inger Sundström Poromaa · 2024

Improvement of prenatal identification of large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants could lower the risk for adverse outcomes. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the association of a combination of maternal waist circumference (WC) and abdomin…

Polycystic ovary syndrome and risk of pre‐eclampsia: A national register‐based cohort study Open

Ragnheidur Valdimarsdottir, Eszter Vanky, Evangelia Elenis, Linda Lindström, Katja Junus , et al. · 2023

Objective To explore whether the association between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and pre‐eclampsia depends on treated clinical hyperandrogenism and whether PCOS is associated with different subtypes of pre‐eclampsia. Design Nationwide…

Study protocol: The cross-sectional Uppsala weight gain in pregnancy study (VIGA study) Open

Theodora Kunovac Kallak, Alice Zancanaro, Katja Junus, Anna‐Karin Wikström, Inger Sundström Poromaa , et al. · 2023

Background: More than two in five Swedish women are overweight or obese when becoming pregnant. Maternal overweight or obesity and excessive pregnancy weight gain are associated with several adverse pregnancy outcomes. The underlying mecha…

Early Mid-pregnancy Blood-Based Proteins as Possible Biomarkers of Increased Infant Birth Size in Sex-Stratified Analyses Open

Study protocol: establishment of a multicentre pre-eclampsia database and biobank in Sweden: GO PROVE and UP MOST, a prospective cohort study Open

Lilja Thorgeirsdottir, Malin Andersson, Ove Karlsson, Sven‐Egron Thörn, Jonatan Oras , et al. · 2021

Introduction Pre-eclampsia, a multisystem disorder in pregnancy, is one of the most common causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, we lack methods for objective assessment of organ function in pre-eclampsia and predi…

Waist Circumference Measurement for Prediction of Preeclampsia: A Population-Based Cohort Study Open

Heidrun Pétursdóttir Maack, Inger Sundström Poromaa, Birgitta Segeblad, Linda Lindström, Maria Jonsson , et al. · 2021

Background Identifying women at high risk for preeclampsia is essential for the decision to start treatment with prophylactic aspirin. Prediction models have been developed for this purpose, and these typically incorporate body mass index …

Preeclampsia – Studies on the Placenta and B-type Natriuretic Peptide Open

Katja Junus · 2018

Preeclampsia has several pathophysiological pathways, but the placenta has a central role. The pathophysiology appears to differ between the two subtypes – early- and late-onset preeclampsia. In clinically evident preeclampsia, maternal ci…

Early second-trimester plasma levels of NT-proBNP in women who subsequently develop early-onset preeclampsia Open

Katja Junus, Anna‐Karin Wikström, Anders Larsson, Matts Olovsson · 2016

Plasma levels of NT-proBNP are elevated in women with preeclampsia at the time of diagnosis. The objective of this case-control study was to evaluate N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) in maternal plasma as an early second-trimester biomarker f…
