🩸@JDaru reflects on global rates of anaemia over 20y in @LancetGH🩸

Progress has been made, but recent estimates remain sobering w/ anaemia prevalence only decreasing from 31% to 30% in non-pregnant women & from 41% to 36% in pregnant women 2000-2019.

#Placental pathology for #covid affected pregnancies reveals rare lesions. We now do histology to all #covid placentas and follow up women with these lesions.

[Centre for Public Health & Policy (CPHP) @CphpQmul]

Preliminary study (by @M_Iliodromiti & colleagues) of placentas during #London's second #COVID wave found an increased frequency of a rare lesion, usually reported in <1% of #pregnancies 🤰
