There is increased risk of early pregnancy loss after assisted reproduction. In this study the use of serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) concentrations on day 12 after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer was evaluated to predict pregnancy outcome. A total of 417 IVF pregnancies were included. Early pregnancy loss was defined as biochemical pregnancies, ectopic pregnancies an...

Background: To evaluate the effect of aspirin on preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction (FGR) in obese pregnant women. Methods: A randomized clinical trial with 187 participants. Participants were allocated to either an intervention (aspirin; n=89) or control (placebo; n=98) group. In two groups, intervention was done from 13-20 until 34 weeks of pregnancy.

It is hypothesized that the intake of long-chain PUFA (LC-PUFA) throughout pregnancy could protect against pre-eclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension or intra-uterine growth retardation, and is essential for optimal neural development. The objective of the present study was to systematically evaluate the effect of LC-PUFA supplementation of high-risk pregnant women's diets on pregnancy outco...
