Comparative performance of patient health questionnaire-9 and edinburgh postnatal depression scale for screening antepartum depression
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-06-20)
Acceso abierto
Objective: We sought to evaluate the psychometric properties of two widely used screening scales: the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) among pregnant Peruvian women.
Methods: ...
Cross-cultural validity of the spanish version of PHQ-9 among pregnant peruvian women: a rasch item response theory analysis
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-04)
Acceso abierto
Objective
We sought to evaluate the validity of the Spanish language version of the patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) depression scale in a large sample of pregnant Peruvian women using Rasch item response theory ...
Risk of placental abruption in relation to maternal depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms
(Elsevier, 2011-04)
Acceso abierto
Background
Little is known about the influence of psychiatric factors on the etiology of placental abruption (PA), an obstetrical condition that complicates 1–2% of pregnancies. We examined the risk of PA in relation to ...
Childhood abuse, intimate partner violence, and placental abruption among Peruvian women
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-03)
Acceso abierto
Purpose
Experiencing childhood abuse (CA) or intimate partner violence (IPV) has been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. We examined whether CA history and current IPV are independently and jointly associated with ...
Genetic variations and risk of placental abruption: a genome-wide association study and meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies
(Elsevier Ltd., 2018-04-16)
Acceso abierto
Introduction
Accumulating epidemiological evidence points to strong genetic susceptibility to placental abruption (PA). However, characterization of genes associated with PA remains incomplete. We conducted a genome-wide ...
Circadian clock-related genetic risk scores and risk of placental abruption
(Elsevier Ltd., 2015-12)
Acceso abierto
Introduction
The circadian clock plays an important role in several aspects of female reproductive biology. Evidence linking circadian clock-related genes to pregnancy outcomes has been inconsistent. We sought to examine ...
Vaginal microbiome diversity and preterm birth: results of a nested case–control study in Peru
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-01)
Acceso abierto
Purpose
Preterm birth (PTB) is a major cause of neonatal mortality. The vaginal microbiome is associated with PTB, but results vary across racial/ethnic populations. Some evidence suggests gestational age affects this ...
Using a body shape index (ABSI) and body roundness index (BRI) to predict risk of metabolic syndrome in peruvian adults
(SAGE Publishing, 2019-05-30)
Acceso abierto
Objective
We examined the ability of anthropometric measures to predict the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in Peruvian adults.
Methods
Participants were 1,815 Peruvian adults. Body mass index ...
Genome-wide and candidate gene association studies of placental abruption
(e-Century Publishing, 2013-09-12)
Acceso abierto
Placental abruption (PA), a pregnancy-related vascular disorder, is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The success of identifying genetic susceptibility loci for PA, a multi-factorial heritable ...
Placental genome and maternal-placental genetic interactions: a genome-wide and candidate gene association study of placental abruption
(Plos, 2014-12-30)
Acceso abierto
While available evidence supports the role of genetics in the pathogenesis of placental abruption (PA), PA-related placental genome variations and maternal-placental genetic interactions have not been investigated. Maternal ...
