Association between adverse birth outcomes and long-term risk of premature cardiovascular disease and mortality in a contemporary population-based cohort of 502,383 pregnant women
Adverse birth outcomes of stillbirth and preterm birth, and to a lesser degree term births that result in LBW or HBW, are markers of increased risk of premature CVD and death in the mother. Coordinated effort between obstetricians, family physicians, and cardiologists are needed to design and implement effective risk reduction programs tailored for these high-risk women.
