Varner, Michael W. | hPL: physiologic and pathophysiologic observations. | Serum human placental lactogen (hPL) levels were studied in 806 women in late pregnancy. The hPL levels were positively correlated with birth weight but were unrelated to maternal age, parity, socioeconomic status, or the sex of the newborn. The hPL levels peaked at 37 weeks' gestation and then decl... | hPL; Pregnancy Complications; Pregnancy, Multiple; Infant, Newborn; Birth Weight | 1979-08 |

Varner, Michael W. | Human placental lactogen: a predictor of perinatal outcome? | Serial human placental lactogen (hPL) determinations were performed on 806 women with normal and abnormal pregnancies late in the pregnancy. These results were not reported to the clinicians involved. For the study population as a whole, low hPL levels did not effectively predict those adverse perin... | Infant, Newborn; Placental Lactogen; Pregnancy; Prenatal Diagnosis | 1979-08 |

Varner, Michael W. | Trial of labor or repeat cesarean delivery in women with morbid obesity and previous cesarean delivery. | OBJECTIVE: Assess effects of body mass index (BMI) on trial of labor after previous cesarean delivery and determine whether morbidly obese women have greater maternal and perinatal morbidity with trial of labor compared with elective repeat cesarean delivery. METHODS: Secondary analysis from a prosp... | Pregnancy Outcome; Obesity; Repeat Cesarean Section; Body Mass Index | 2006-07 |

Varner, Michael W. | Does progesterone treatment influence risk factors for recurrent preterm delivery? | OBJECTIVE: To examine how demographic and pregnancy characteristics can affect the risk of recurrent preterm delivery and the how the effectiveness of progesterone treatment for prevention alters these relationships. METHODS: This was a secondary analysis of a randomized trial of 17alpha-hydroxyprog... | Preterm Delivery; Progesterone Treatment; Pregnancy; Risk Factors | 2005-09 |

Varner, Michael W. | Spontaneous resolution of asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis in pregnancy. | OBJECTIVE: We sought to estimate the rate of spontaneous resolution of asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis in pregnancy and to evaluate factors associated with its resolution. METHODS: A cohort of women enrolled in a large multicenter randomized bacterial vaginosis antibiotic trial (metronidazole ver... | Pregnancy; Chlamydia Trachomatis; Sexually Transmitted Diseases | 2005-03 |

Varner, Michael W. | Abnormal pregnancy sonogram: selective indication for fetal karyotype. | The inability to make a definitive diagnosis in the fetus with a sonographically identified abnormality often results in parental and physician uncertainty. An antenatal chromosome evaluation could resolve this uncertainty.
