Pregnancy after the age of 35 augments the risk of VTE, as does multigravidity of more than four pregnancies. [2] Pregnancy in itself causes approximately a five-fold increased risk of deep venous thrombosis. [6] Several pregnancy complications, such as pre-eclampsia, cause substantial hypercoagulability. [2]
Diabetes in the mother during pregnancy is a significant risk factor for autism; a 2009 meta-analysis found that gestational diabetes was associated with a twofold increased risk. A 2014 review also found that maternal diabetes was significantly associated with an increased risk of autism. [55]
Some research suggests that a particularly intense immune reaction during gestation might increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.
Taking acetaminophen during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of autism, and ADHD in children in some research. A new study suggests that it is not acetaminophen that is linked ...
Deep vein thrombosis may require thrombolysis if there is a significant risk of post-thrombotic syndrome. [42] Thrombolysis may be administered by intravenous catheter directly into the clot ("catheter-directed thrombolysis"); this requires a lower dose of the medication and may carry a lower bleeding risk but evidence for its benefit is limited.
A new Canadian study suggests that women who take antidepressants during pregnancy may be more likely to give birth ... during pregnancy may be more likely to give birth to children with autism.
A combination of pregnancy-exacerbated hypercoagulability and additional risk factors such as obesity and thrombophilias makes pregnant women vulnerable to thrombotic events [29] T.he prophylactic measures that include the usage of low molecular weight heparin, in fact, can significantly reduce risks associated with surgery, particularly in ...
Several prenatal and perinatal complications have been reported as possible risk factors for autism. These risk factors include maternal gestational diabetes, maternal and paternal age over 30, [198] [199] [200] bleeding during pregnancy after the first trimester, use of certain prescription medication (e.g. valproate) during pregnancy, and ...
