Having received the HPV vaccine before pregnancy is associated with a lower risk of major pregnancy complications, including preterm birth, with the greater reduction in risk seen among women vaccinated at an earlier age, finds study in The BMJ
bmj.com/content/395/bmj-2026…
ALT An infographic from The BMJ titled "Quadrivalent HPV vaccination before pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes." It features a summary stating quadrivalent HPV vaccination before pregnancy is associated with lower risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The study design and population details are presented, highlighting 624,713 births in Sweden from 2006 to 2013 and 52,950 HPV vaccinations before pregnancy. A comparison between cases and controls shows matched data. Outcomes, including preterm birth and stillbirth, are displayed with numbers and confidence intervals for both cases and controls, alongside a forest plot. The graphic includes links and copyright information from The BMJ Publishing Group.

Via @jenna_taglienti - an absolutely stunning write in @JAMA_current
"Medicine can have extraordinary meaning. But it cannot substitute for being present in your own life. The world may need us as physicians.
But the people who love us need us as ourselves.
And that is the role no one else can fill."
Brilliant - and much love to you

For the composite maternal outcome (maternal death and eclampsia) and stillbirth, GlyFn had a 100% sensitivity and NPV when taken before 34 weeks’ gestation in a lmic setting. A simple cheap test that may help triage.
