Overview: We’ve long understood cardiovascular disease, hemorrhage, hypertension, and infection as the leading killers of pregnant patients. A recent analysis challenges that, finding the leading causes are now overdose, homicide, and suicide. Join us as we unpack what this means for clinicians, explore racial and age disparities, and discuss how primary care clinicians can better protect maternal health.

Episode resource links:

• Identify unintentional drug overdose and violence (homicide and suicide) as the leading causes of maternal death in the United States from 2018–2023, surpassing traditional obstetric complications
• Describe racial, ethnic, and age-related disparities in pregnancy-associated mortality due to overdose, homicide, and suicide
• Apply an updated, comprehensive approach to screening and counseling pregnant and postpartum patients that incorporates substance use, intimate partner violence, and mental health risk factors

Overview: The renaming of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) reflects the true complexity of this diagnosis—a condition that extends beyond ovarian cysts and reproductive health. Listen in as we explore what drove the name change, how it better reflects the condition’s complexity, and what current evidence says about prevalence, risk, and whole-body management strategies for your patients.

Overview: Once declared eliminated in the United States, measles is again making headlines as cases and outbreaks rise. In this Quick Take, Dr. Peter Lin breaks down why measles spreads so efficiently, how infection affects the immune system, and the clinical clues that can help primary care clinicians recognize infection before the characteristic rash appears. He also reviews important complications, the role of vaccination in prevention, and practical strategies PCPs can use to assess risk, counsel patients, and support timely prevention and recognition.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explain the transmission characteristics of measles, including airborne persistence, that account for its exceptionally high infectivity
2. Recognize Koplik spots as an early clinical sign of measles that may facilitate earlier identification and isolation of suspected cases
3. Determine which adults should receive MMR vaccination based on age, evidence of immunity, and exposure risk, including healthcare personnel and international travelers
4. Discuss practical communication strategies to discuss measles prevention and vaccination with patients
