We followed 2,404 pregnant women for HE and pregnancy outcomes from 1996 to 1998. Subjects from Nepal were enrolled at an antenatal clinic with pregnancy of \u2264 24 weeks. Most women (65.1%) were anti-HE virus negative. There were 16 cases of HE (6.7 per 1,000); three mothers died (18.8%) having had intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). Thirteen mothers survived: five preterm and seven full-term deliveries, one IUFD. HE among seronegative women was the sole cause of maternal death and increased the risk of IUFD (relative risk [RR]: 10.6; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.29\u201326.3) and preterm delivery (RR: 17.1, 95% CI 7.56\u201338.5). HE vaccination of females in at-risk regions before or as they attain reproductive age would reduce their risk for preterm delivery, IUFD, and maternal death.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.20-1007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,14]],"date-time":"2021-06-14T18:26:24Z","timestamp":1623695184000},"page":"440-448","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Historical Analysis of the Risk of Hepatitis E and Its Complications in Pregnant Women in Nepal, 1996\u20131998"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Robert McNair","family":"Scott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Walter Reed\/AFRIMS Research Unit\u2014Nepal, Kathmandu, Nepal;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brittany L.","family":"Kmush","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Department of Public Health, Food Studies, and Nutrition, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kundu","family":"Norkye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Walter Reed\/AFRIMS Research Unit\u2014Nepal, Kathmandu, Nepal;"},{"name":"3Patan Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meera","family":"Hada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Patan Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mrigendra Prasad","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Walter Reed\/AFRIMS Research Unit\u2014Nepal, Kathmandu, Nepal;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David W.","family":"Vaughn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4Department of Virology, Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangkok, Thailand;"},{"name":"5Integrated Clinical Vaccine Development, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle, Washington;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khin Saw Aye","family":"Myint","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4Department of Virology, Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangkok, Thailand;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timothy P.","family":"Endy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4Department of Virology, Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangkok, Thailand;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjaya K.","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Walter Reed\/AFRIMS Research Unit\u2014Nepal, Kathmandu, Nepal;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruce L.","family":"Innis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"6Department of Virus Diseases, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Silver Spring, Maryland;"},{"name":"7Global Vaccine Development, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","container-title":["The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/105\/2\/article-p440.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/105\/2\/article-p440.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,11]],"date-time":"2021-08-11T18:57:34Z","timestamp":1628708254000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/105\/2\/article-p440.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,11]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4269\/ajtmh.20-1007","relation":{},"ISSN":["0002-9637","1476-1645"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0002-9637","type":"print"},{"value":"1476-1645","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,11]]}}}
