Safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy is a particular concern affecting vaccination uptake by this vulnerable group. Here we evaluated evidence from 23 studies including 117,552 COVID-19 vaccinated pregnant people, almost exclusively with mRNA vaccines. We show that the effectiveness of mRNA vaccination against RT-PCR confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection 7 days after second dose was 89·5% (95% CI 69·0-96·4%, 18,828 vaccinated pregnant people, I2 = 73·9%). The risk of stillbirth was significantly lower in the vaccinated cohort by 15% (pooled OR 0·85; 95% CI 0·73–0·99, 66,067 vaccinated vs. 424,624 unvaccinated, I2 = 93·9%). There was no evidence of a higher risk of adverse outcomes including miscarriage, earlier gestation at birth, placental abruption, pulmonary embolism, postpartum haemorrhage, maternal death, intensive care unit admission, lower birthweight Z-score, or neonatal intensive care unit admission (p > 0.05 for all). COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in pregnancy appears to be safe and is associated with a reduction in stillbirth.

Longitudinal change in cerebroplacental ratio in small-for-gestational-age fetuses and risk of stillbirth Kalafat, E.; Ozturk, E.; Sivanathan, J.; Thilaganathan, B.; Khalil, A. (2019-10-01) Objective To investigate whether assessment of longitudinal change in Doppler variables in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses improves the prediction of those at risk of stillbirth.
Pertussis Vaccines: State-of-the-Art and Future Trends Tefon, Burcu E.; Ozcengiz, Erkan; Özcengiz, Gülay (Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2013-10-01) Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough ( pertussis) which is a worldwide vaccine preventable acute respiratory illness that predominantly involves infants. The reactogenicity of whole-cell (Pw) vaccines and the difficulty of their consistent production have led to the development of acellular pertussis (Pa) vaccines. However, despite high vaccination coverage using either Pw or Pa and introduction of adolescent and adult vaccines with reduced antigen content, there are still reports a...
Maternal cardiovascular function and risk of intrapartum fetal compromise in women undergoing induction of labor: pilot study Kalafat, E.; Barratt, I.; Nawaz, A.; Thilaganathan, B.; Khalil, A. (Wiley, 2020-08-01) Objective Identification of the fetus at risk of intrapartum compromise has many benefits. Impaired maternal cardiovascular function is associated with placental hypoperfusion predisposing to intrapartum fetal distress. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive accuracy of maternal hemodynamics for the risk of operative delivery due to presumed fetal compromise in women undergoing induction of labor (IOL). Methods In this prospective cohort study, patients were recruited between November 2018 and J...
Immunoproteomic analysis of Bordetella pertussis and identification of new immunogenic proteins Altindis, Emrah; Tefon, Burcu E.; Yildirim, Volkan; Ozcengiz, Erkan; Becher, Doete; Hecker, Michael; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-22) Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of highly communicable respiratory infection whooping cough (pertussis) which remains one of the world's leading causes of vaccine-preventable deaths. In the present study, total soluble proteins extracted from two B. pertussis strains, Tohama I and the local isolate Saadet were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and analyzed by Western blotting for their reactivity with the antisera obtained from the mice immunized with inactivated whole cells as we...
An analysis of the incidence of measles in Turkey since 1960 Caliskan, Deniz; Piyal, Birgul; Akdur, Recep; Ocaktan, Mine Esin; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan (2016-01-01) Background/aim: The aims of this study were to evaluate measles incidence and the effect of elimination strategy interventions on the disease from 1960 to 2014 in Turkey. The administration of measles vaccine started in the rural regions in 1970; it was carried out as a campaign along with the National Vaccine Campaign in 1985, and it has been employed as combined measles, mumps, and rubella under the scope of the Measles Elimination Program (MEP) since 2006 in Turkey. While a dramatic decrease in the repor...
