Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Substance use during pregnancy presents substantial challenges to both maternal and fetal health. In recent years, nearly 1 in 3 pregnancies in North America were impacted by substance use, regardless of level or type of substance involved. From 2017 to 2019, nearly 20% of all maternal deaths in Ontario and British Columbia were related to drug overdose. Opioids, alcohol, and stimulants are among the most misused substances. Managing substance use disorders in pregnancy requires a comprehensive understanding of pregnancy physiology, pharmacology of the substance involved, its effects on maternal and fetal health, as well as post-partum care considerations. In this article, we provide an evidence-based review of opioid, alcohol, and stimulant use disorders in pregnancy, examining risks, maternal and fetal implications and management strategies. We recognize that nicotine, tobacco, and marijuana use also pose significant risks in pregnancy, however they are beyond the scope of this review.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
