Continuing Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists Into the First Trimester of Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes : A Target Trial Emulation Study Using Claims Information
Jun 8, 2026
The authors aimed to assess the risks associated with continuing glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) during the first trimester of pregnancy, specifically focusing on nonlive birth, abnormal fetal growth, and major congenital malformations (MCM). Their analysis of claims data from 3,572 pregnancies indicated that continuation of GLP-1RAs did not show definitively higher risks for these outcomes compared to noncontinuation, although the estimates for MCM and small for gestational age (SGA) were imprecise and could not rule out clinically significant differences.
How Would You Manage This Patient With Iron Deficiency Anemia? Grand Rounds Discussion From Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
Jun 8, 2026
The authors aim to address the complexities of diagnosing and managing iron deficiency anemia (IDA), particularly in women of reproductive age, who are at higher risk due to menstrual blood loss. They discuss the importance of identifying underlying causes of anemia and the variability in treatment guidelines, emphasizing the need for a tailored approach to diagnosis and management. The paper highlights areas of uncertainty in current guidelines and presents a case study of a young woman diagnosed with IDA to illustrate these challenges.
Hypertension
Jun 8, 2026
The authors aim to address how updated hypertension guidelines can improve the management of high blood pressure by incorporating new research findings. The 2025 U.S. guidelines advocate for lower blood pressure targets, increased reliance on out-of-office measurements for diagnosis and treatment adjustments, and revised strategies for managing severe hypertension without acute cardiovascular symptoms. Additionally, the paper highlights the benefits of tighter blood pressure control in preventing cognitive decline, underscoring the need for lower blood pressure goals.
