Preterm birth risk in women with skeletal dysplasias and short stature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: The primary objective was to estimate the risk of preterm delivery in a population of women with a skeletal dysplasia and short stature. The secondary outcome was to identify factors that increase the risk of preterm delivery. METHODS: A cross sectional survey was performed asking detailed pregnancy and reproductive health questions, aimed at a convenience sample of women who were little people, administered through Little People of America, Little People UK, Little People Canada, and the World Dwarf Games. Comparisons were made on gestational age at delivery between pregnancies with and without the outcomes. RESULTS: The survey had a response rate of 74% (117/158). There was a total of 55 eligible subjects who had 72 live births. Delivery prior to 37 weeks occurred in 19/72 live births, which equates to a preterm birth rate of 26.4%. Besides short stature, no single factor was identified that could solely explain the elevated preterm birth risk in the study population. CONCLUSION: The risk of preterm delivery in women with skeletal dysplasias and short stature is elevated compared to the general population. This information will assist healthcare providers in pregnancy management and counseling.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
