Abstract
OBJECTIVE Early-life obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) predictors are unavailable for young adults. This study identifies early-life factors predisposing young adults to OSA. METHODS This retrospective study included 923 young adults and their mothers from the Western Australian Pregnancy Raine Study Cohort. OSA at 22 years was determined from in-laboratory polysomnography. Logistic regression was used to identify maternal and neonatal factors associated with OSA in young adulthood. RESULTS OSA was observed in 20.8% (192) participants. Maternal predictors of OSA included gestational diabetes mellitus (odds ratio (OR) 9.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.7, 58.5, P = 0.011), preterm delivery (OR 3.18, 95%CI 1.1,10.5, P = 0.043), preeclampsia (OR 2.95, 95%CI 1.1,8.0, P = 0.034), premature rupture of membranes (OR 2.46, 95%CI 1.2, 5.2, P = 0.015), age ≥35 years (OR 2.28, 95%CI 1.2,4.4, P = 0.011), overweight and obesity (pregnancy BMI≥25 kg/m2) (OR 2.00, 95%CI 1.2,3.2, P = 0.004), pregnancy-induced hypertension (OR 1.89, 95%CI 1.1,3.2, P = 0.019), and Chinese ethnicity (OR 2.36,95%CI 1.01,5.5, P = 0.047). Neonatal predictors included male child (OR 2.10, 95%CI 1.5,3.0, P < 0.0001), presence of meconium-stained liquor during delivery (OR 1.60, 95%CI 1.0,2.5, P = 0.044) and admission to special care nursery (OR 1.51 95%CI 1.0,2.2, P = 0.040). Higher birth lengths reduced OSA odds by 7% for each centimetre (OR 0.93, 95%CI 0.87, 0.99, P = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS A range of maternal and neonatal factors predict OSA in young adults, including those related to poor maternal metabolic health, high-risk pregnancy and stressful perinatal events. This information could assist in the early identification and management of at-risk individuals and indicates that better maternal health may reduce the likelihood of young adults developing OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to assess the association between ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and pregnancy complications among women who conceived following fertility treatment. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective population-based cohort study, including all singleton deliveries of patients conceived following ovulation induction (OI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) between 1988 and 2016, was conducted. All births occurred in a single tertiary medical center. A comparison was performed between deliveries of women who had experienced OHSS at early gestation and subsequently had a pregnancy and women without OHSS. Women lacking prenatal care, multiple gestations, and stillbirths were excluded from the analyses. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to control for confounders. RESULTS During the study period, 351,373 deliveries met the inclusion criteria, of which 6,748 were deliveries of infants who were conceived by either IVF or OI. Of this study population, 105 cases (1.6%) composed the exposed group, that is, women who had experienced OHSS with a subsequent live birth. In the multivariate analyses, after controlling for confounders, OHSS was not found as an independent risk factor for preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm delivery (both <37 and <34 weeks), low birth weight (LBW), very LBW (VLBW), small for gestational age (SGA), and caesarean delivery. In a subanalysis conducted solely on the IVF population, similar results were found, aside from the association between OHSS and preterm delivery before 34 weeks of gestation which was statistically significant (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.3 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0-5.3, p = 0.049). CONCLUSION In our population, OHSS was not found as a risk factor for adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcome. In IVF patients, OHSS is a risk factor for preterm delivery before 34 weeks of gestation. KEY POINTS · OHSS is not a risk factor for pregnancy complications.. · Complications investigated were preeclampsia, GDM, prematurity, and others.. · In IVF patients, OHSS is a risk factor for preterm delivery..

Pediatr Pulmonol 2021; 56:1085-1091.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interpregnancy interval (IPI) is defined as the period between a live birth and the conception of a subsequent fetus. Both short (IPI < 6 months) and long IPI (IPI > 60 months) have been shown to increase the risk for adverse perinatal outcomes, some of which, are known risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in the offspring. AIMS To study the association between IPI and risk for offspring OSAS, during a follow-up period of up to 18 years. STUDY DESIGN Population-based cohort. SUBJECTS In this population-based cohort analysis, all singleton live births, born to a mother with at least one previous birth occurring between 1991 and 2014, were included. Congenital malformations were excluded. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hospitalizations of the offspring due to OSAS diagnosis up to 18 years of age, were evaluated according to IPI length. Intermediate IPI (6-60 months) was considered as the reference. A Kaplan-Meier survival curve and a Cox hazards regression model were used to compare the incidence of OSAS between the groups, and to adjust for confounding variables. RESULTS The study population included 144,397 deliveries, of which 13.1% (n = 18,947) were followed by short IPI, 7.9% (n = 11,438) and 79.0% (n = 114,012) were followed by long and intermediate IPI, respectively. OSAS hospitalization rates were significantly higher among the long IPI group compared to intermediate and short IPIs (0.9%; 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively, p = .001). The association between long IPI and offspring pediatric OSAS remained significant after controlling for preterm delivery, maternal diabetes, and smoking, and mode of delivery, (adjusted HR = 1.45; 95% CI, 1.17-1.80). CONCLUSIONS Children born following long IPI are at increased risk for pediatric OSAS.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that a long inter-pregnancy interval (IPI: time interval between live birth and estimated time of conception of subsequent pregnancy) poses a risk for adverse short-term perinatal outcome. We aimed to study the effect of short (<6 months) and long (>60 months) IPI on long-term cardiovascular morbidity of the offspring. A population-based cohort study was performed in which all singleton live births in parturients with at least one previous birth were included. Hospitalizations of the offspring up to the age of 18 years involving cardiovascular diseases and according to IPI length were evaluated. Intermediate interval, between 6 and 60 months, was considered the reference. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to compare the cumulative morbidity incidence between the groups. Cox proportional hazards model was used to control for confounders. During the study period, 161,793 deliveries met the inclusion criteria. Of them, 14.1% (n = 22,851) occurred in parturient following a short IPI, 78.6% (n = 127,146) following an intermediate IPI, and 7.3% (n = 11,796) following a long IPI. Total hospitalizations of the offspring, involving cardiovascular morbidity, were comparable between the groups. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated similar cumulative incidences of cardiovascular morbidity in all groups. In a Cox proportional hazards model, short and long IPI did not appear as independent risk factors for later pediatric cardiovascular morbidity of the offspring (adjusted HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.80-1.18; adjusted HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.83-1.37, for short and long IPI, respectively). In our population, extreme IPIs do not appear to impact long-term cardiovascular hospitalizations of offspring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the endocrine basis of several infertility etiologies, data on long-term endocrine consequences in offspring conceived following fertility treatments remain limited. AIM To determine the risk of long-term endocrine disorders among children born after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and ovulation induction (OI) as compared with spontaneous pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN, SUBJECTS, AND OUTCOME MEASURES A population-based cohort study including all singleton deliveries occurring between 1991 and 2014 at a single tertiary medical center was performed. Hospitalization rates up to the age of 18 years involving endocrine disorders were compared between children delivered following pregnancies achieved by IVF, OI, and spontaneous pregnancies. A Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to compare cumulative morbidity incidence. A Cox regression model was used to control for confounders. RESULTS During the study period, 242,187 singleton deliveries met the inclusion criteria; 1.0% were following IVF (n = 2603), 0.7% following OI (n = 1721), and the remaining (n = 237,863) were following spontaneous conceptions. Hospitalizations up to the age of 18 years involving endocrine disorders were comparable in children delivered following IVF (0.4%), OI (0.8%) and spontaneous pregnancies (0.5%; p = 0.09). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve demonstrated comparable cumulative incidence of endocrine morbidity following IVF and OI (log-rank p = 0.30). Using the Cox regression model while controlling for confounders, no significant association was noted between IVF (adjusted HR = 0.95, CI 0.51-1.87), or OI (adjusted HR = 1.32, CI 0.78-2.24) conceived pregnancies, and long-term pediatric endocrine morbidity. CONCLUSIONS Singletons conceived via fertility treatment do not appear to be at an increased risk for long-term endocrine disorders.
