    Abstract Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare, aggressive subtype of multiple myeloma (MM) with a poor prognosis. Prior studies have shown that racial disparities affect MM patients in various ways, which may affect patients' outcomes. In this study, we aimed to investigate racial differences in hospitalization outcomes for PCL using Nationwide Inpatient Sample data. Overall, hospitalization rates for PCL tended to decrease over the past decade. Among hospitalized patients with a primary diagnosis of PCL, there was no statistically significant association between race/ethnicity and hospitalization rates, between NH-White patients and NH-Black patients (OR 1.94; 95%CI 0.3-3.54, p 0.95), and Hispanic patients (OR 0.47; 95% CI 0.05-4.23, p 0.5). Additionally, there was no significant association between race/ethnicity and inpatient mortality. The overall lower incidence of PCL, more significant disease burden, and poor prognosis across all groups may contribute to our findings. With increasing evidence that PCL is cytogenetically distinct from MM, more investigation into biological and sociodemographic factors that affect healthcare utilization and treatment outcomes should be carried out.

    Abstract Background and Objective: Social determinants of health impact various clinical health outcomes in the population. We conducted this study to examine the impact of adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) characteristics on maternal obesity among hospitalized pregnant women in the US and its potential differential impact on women of different races/ethnicities. Methods: The nationwide pregnancy hospitalization data analyzed in this study were collected through the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database during 2016-2018. We conducted descriptive analyses to evaluate the relationship between patient characteristics and maternal obesity. Using the adjusted survey logistic regression model, we calculated the independent association between social determinants of health (SDOH) risk factors and hospitalization characteristics (exposure) and maternal obesity (outcome). Lastly, stratified survey logistic regression models were created for each racial/ethnic group to examine the differential impact in the association between SDOH issues and maternal obesity. Results: The prevalence of SDOH issues was highest in non-Hispanic (NH) Black women (6.59 per 1000 hospitalizations), whereas the prevalence of obesity among those with SDOH issues was highest in Hispanic women (15.3 per 100 hospitalizations). We observed that pregnant women with SDOH issues were 1.15 times as likely (95% CI: 1.05-1.25) to experience maternal obesity compared to those without SDOH issues. Relative to their counterparts without SDOH issues, Hispanics and NH-Others with SDOH issues had increased odds of obesity, whereas NH-White and NH-Black mothers with SDOH had similar odds of obesity (p>0.05). Conclusion and Global Health Implications: In conclusion, pregnant women with SDOH issues had an increased likelihood of obesity diagnosis and the association demonstrated differential impact across racial/ethnic sub-populations. This information has potential utility for counseling and formulation of targeted interventions for pregnant women. ...

    Abstract This study investigated the association between gender role beliefs and the prevalence and likelihood of experiencing pregnancy among 8525 young women and girls aged 13-19 years in Colombia. The primary outcome of interest was adolescent pregnancy. Retrospective cross-sectional analysis utilised data from the 2015 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) in Colombia, which included an add-on questionnaire on gender relations. Our analysis measured both pregnancy prevalence and pregnancy likelihood in relation to gender role beliefs. With one exception, young women who disagreed with traditionally conforming gender roles had a lower prevalence of pregnancy and were less likely to experience pregnancy than those who agreed with them. The highest likelihood of pregnancy prevalence and likelihood was found among those who agreed with statements suggesting male dominance and those who agreed with women's homemaking responsibilities. The greater the adherence to traditionally conforming gender role beliefs, the higher the likelihood of experiencing pregnancy during adolescence. Girls' and young women's adherence to traditional gender role beliefs appeared to be a risk factor for adolescent pregnancy. Our findings support Colombia's current sex education policies and practices within the framework of gender equity, and evidence the link between gender equity and girls' and young women's reproductive health.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to calculate 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles of birth weight for gestational age for the total US population and the Asian-American ethnicities. Using the US Natality data files for the years 1992-2020, estimated growth curves were determined across gestational ages and for each Asian American ethnic group-Chinese, Asian Indians, Japanese, Koreans, Filipino, and Vietnamese. Average weight at the 10th, 50th and 90th foetal growth percentiles by race/ethnicity and sex were calculated. Overall, for the 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles, Asian American average birth weight was 18, 90 and 144 g lower than the national average, respectively. We also found that Asian Indians consistently had the lowest birthweight, while Koreans had the highest birthweight among Asian Americans. Updated racial/ethnic-specific weight percentiles by gestational age can be a useful reference for accurate small and large-for-gestational age classifications among different Asian American sub-populations.Impact statement

    Abstract The objective of this study was to examine stillbirth risk by nativity and Hispanic ethnicity. We analyzed births and fetal deaths among women of Hispanic origin within gestational ages of 20-42 weeks from the 2014-2019 Birth and Fetal Death. Foreign-born Hispanic mothers were 8% less likely (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.90-0.95) to experience stillbirth than their counterparts. Stratified by ethnicity, foreign-born Mexican and Central/South American women had a lower risk of stillbirth (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.81-0.88 and HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.63-0.75, respectively) while foreign-born Puerto Rican women were more likely to experience stillbirth (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.24-1.51) than their native-born counterparts. While overall foreign-born Hispanic mothers were less likely to experience stillbirth than native-born Hispanic mothers, this differed depending on ethnicity. Counseling regarding risk of stillbirth among Hispanic women should take into consideration nativity and country of origin as influential factors.

    Abstract To estimate the risk of stillbirth following infertility treatment in the United States (US), we analyzed data from the US Natality and Fetal Death files from 2014 to 2017. We built Cox proportional regression models to generate adjusted hazard ratios (HR) for the risk of stillbirth among women who utilized various modalities of infertility treatment within the study period. Women who used any infertility treatment and, specifically, assisted reproductive technology (ART), had an elevated risk of stillbirth (HR: 1.21, 95% CI:1.09 -1.33) compared to women who did not use ART. We concluded that in this population, the risk of stillbirth was elevated among women using infertility treatment.
