Incidence rates of placental acute inflammation and malperfusion and differences by neonatal sex in a population-based cohort of births at term gestation with universal placental collection: EPOD, 2010-2016

Key Points

• Placental inflammation and malperfusion rates differ significantly based on neonatal sex, impacting neonatal health.
• Incidence rates for placental issues are observed in a diverse birth cohort, highlighting important differences.
• Analysis of a population-based cohort from 2010 to 2016 offers insights on incidence rates and sex differences.
• These findings suggest that understanding placental inflammation's effects on neonates may influence future health outcomes.
