TL;DR: The most important risk factors for placenta accreta were previous cesarean delivery, previa, and advanced maternal age as mentioned in this paper, which increased the rate of abnormal placentation in conjunction with CESarean deliveries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed short forms of 2 valid and reliable condition-specific quality-of-life questionnaires for women with disorders of the pelvic floor including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and fecal infinence (Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire).

TL;DR: In this article, a matched control of 555 gravidas, diagnosed after 37 weeks, were compared with 1110 subjects treated for gestational diabetes mellitus and 1110 nondiabetic subjects matched from the same delivery year for obesity, parity, ethnicity, and gestational age at delivery.

TL;DR: The results from this population suggest that there is a bell-shaped distribution of pelvic organ support in a gynecologic clinic population and Advancing age, Hispanic race, increasing body mass index, and the increasing weight of the vaginally delivered fetus have the strongest correlations with prolapse.

TL;DR: For example, this article found that adolescents aged 15 years or younger had higher risks for maternal death, early neonatal death, and anemia compared with women aged 20 to 24 years.

TL;DR: MSCs isolated from fetal membranes and placenta showed typical MSC phenotype and were able to differentiate into mesodermal cells expressing cell markers/cytologic staining consistent with mature chondroblasts, osteoblasts, adipocytes, or myocytes and into neuronal cells presenting markers of various stages of maturation.

TL;DR: Identification of risk factors for stillbirth assists the clinician in performing a risk assessment for each patient and the value of antepartum testing is related to the underlying risk of stillbirth and, although the strategy of antesat testing in patients with increased risk will decrease the risk of late fetal loss, it is of necessity associated with higher intervention rates.

TL;DR: Overweight/obese women with normal glucose tolerance levels have neonates who are heavier than lean/average weight women because of increased adiposity, which is speculated to be a significant risk for adolescent obesity and components of the metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: Previous vaginal delivery including previous VBAC is the greatest predictor for successful TOL, and previous indication as dystocia, need for labor induction, or a maternal BMI > or = 30 significantly lowers success rates.

TL;DR: If the fetus survives until midgestation, and if a targeted ultrasound at 20 to 22 weeks fails to reveal any abnormalities, the risk of an adverse perinatal outcome and postnatal developmental delay is not statistically increased.

TL;DR: Opposing changes in drug metabolism occur during pregnancy, with CYP1A2 activity decreased and CYP2D6 and CYp3A activities increased, and the direction of dosing adjustments during pregnancy will depend on the drug and the enzyme that is responsible for its metabolism.

TL;DR: With an integrated approach to this problem over the next 20 years, it should be possible to achieve these goals and reduce the suffering for more than 100,000 afflicted women.

TL;DR: New reference ranges for umbilical artery Doppler indices that are based on longitudinal observations appear to be slightly different from cross-sectional studies and are more appropriate for serial evaluation of fetal hemodynamics.

TL;DR: Together, birth certificate and hospital discharge data are much superior to birth certificates alone in the reporting of gestational diabetes mellitus, active genital herpes, and chronic hypertension in Washington state.

TL;DR: The effect of screening on ovarian cancer mortality in the PLCO cohort has yet to be evaluated and will require longer follow-up, and the predictive value of both tests was relatively low.

TL;DR: Findings show that over-the-counter medications are used by most pregnant women, and the use of acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine, diphenhydramine, and guaifenesin was higher during pregnancy than before pregnancy.

TL;DR: Obesity before pregnancy is associated with a lower rate of spontaneous preterm birth in obese gravid women and indicated delivery was responsible for an increasing proportion of preterm births with increasing body mass index.

TL;DR: The combination of uterine artery Doppler ultrasound and maternal factors provided the best estimate of risk in preeclampsia, and the combined model was better predicted than ultrasound alone, or maternal factors alone.

TL;DR: In this article, the outcomes of perimortem cesarean deliveries were reviewed to validate the assumption that cardiopulmonary resuscitation is ineffective in the third trimester because of aortocaval compression, and fetal and perhaps maternal outcomes would be optimized by timely delivery.

TL;DR: Women with a prior cesarean and prior vaginal delivery should be offered VBAC, and inductions requiring sequential agents be avoided, although other studies have suggested that prostaglandins should be avoided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the hypothesis that placental disease can identify antepartum processes that either progress into the intrapartum period or predispose to intra-artum brain injury.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the prevalence of and ability to identify macrosomic (birthweight >4000 g) fetuses and proposed an algorithm for treatment of suspected macrosomia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared laparoscopic and open sacral colpopexies for efficacy and safety in 56 patients who underwent Laparoscopic versus open colopexy, 269 ± 65 minutes and 218 ± 60 minutes, respectively.

TL;DR: The study shows that intrauterine transfusion is a safe procedure, with a relatively low PR perinatal loss rate, and arterial puncture and transamniotic cord needling carry a high risk for serious complications, whereas fetal paralysis improves the safety of the procedure.

TL;DR: Women with severe preeclampsia and BMI > or = 25 kg/m2 have decreased adiponectin and increased leptin levels, while normal weight women with preeClampsia have increased adip onectin levels.

TL;DR: The aberrant methylation at HOXA10 may be responsible for the aberrant gene expression in the endometrium of women with endometriosis, which suggests that endometRIosis may also be an epigenetic disease.

TL;DR: Flares, most of which were mild to moderate, occurred most of the pregnancies in the authors' cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, suggesting thrombocytopenia, hypertension, and prednisone use may be predictive factors for particular adverse outcomes.

TL;DR: During pregnancy, the risk of deep vein thrombosis begins in the first trimester, and it is believed that when prophylaxis is indicated, it should be initiated early in gestation.

TL;DR: Influenza vaccine that was administered in the second or third trimester of gestation was safe in this study population of healthy women and there was no difference between the groups in the outcomes of pregnancy and infant medical conditions from birth to 6 months of age.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the frequency, clinical course, charges, and outcomes of hyperemesis gravidarum in women and evaluate the demographic characteristics associated with the patients.
