Rh Sensitization and Induced Abortion—Reply. jamanetwork.com In Reply In response to our recent article, Mr Uzoigwe and Dr Ali comment that the 1965 study by Zipursky et al, which we used to calculate a threshold for significant fRBC allosensitization, is unethical. These ethical flaws highlight that decades have elapsed since there has been adequate scientific study of Rh sensitization in early pregnancy and underscore the need to design new studies that address research gaps while protecting human participants, as we did. Second, while we agree that the threshold of 0.1 mL of fRBCs may be arbitrary, this threshold led to sensitization in only 4 of 15 participants in the…

jamanetwork (2024-02-06). Sedentary Behavior and Dementia. jamanetwork.com To the Editor A recent study on physical activity and risk of dementia has several strengths, including the large population and an objective measure of physical activity. There is an important limitation that the authors do not appear to fully address, however: ascertainment bias. As the diagnosis of dementia depended on either having a death certificate or hospitalization (in which inpatient diagnostic codes would be assigned), the outcome could be ascertained only in participants with these health outcomes. Participants without either of these 2 health events could not be classified as having dementia regardle…

Rh Sensitization and Induced Abortion. jamanetwork.com To the Editor A recent study posited that analysis of fRBCs in pregnant individuals who had previous induced abortions at less than 12 weeks' gestational age could be used to recommend discontinuation of Rh immunoglobulin prophylaxis in a subset of patients. While this research provides valuable insights into the complex issue of maternal alloimmunization, it does not establish a clear link between fRBC levels and the most important outcome—hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). First, the study's premise relied on the establishment of a specific threshold of fRBC transfer required to induce all…

jamanetwork (2024-02-06). Rh Sensitization and Induced Abortion. jamanetwork.com To the Editor Rh immunoglobulin use by Rh-negative pregnant individuals reduces the risk of HDFN—having saved hundreds of thousands of lives and preserved the reproductive capacities of millions of individuals. HDFN, including due to Rh sensitization, still remains a public health issue, with an estimated incidence of 1.6 per 1000 live births. As reported in 1970, the immunization risk among pregnant individuals with prior abortions directly correlated with gestational age, increasing from the first to the third month of gestation and was observed in 2.8% (26/932) of these individuals. In contrast, a recent…
