Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated trends and outcomes of gestational carrier (GC) pregnancies in the U.S. using data from over 14 million deliveries between 2017 and 2020, finding that the prevalence of GC pregnancies rose by 55% during this period.
- - Among GCs, there was a higher likelihood of complications such as multiple pregnancies, placental abruption, and low-lying placenta, along with increased risks for late-preterm deliveries and postpartum hemorrhage in singleton births compared to non-GCs.
- - While GC pregnancies are relatively rare, the findings indicate they are becoming more common and generally have favorable pre-pregnancy characteristics, but their obstetric outcomes can be mixed, especially regarding certain complications. *
Objective: To identify where reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) fellows trained for residency.
Design: Observational, cross-sectional study.
Setting: Not applicable.
Objective: To evaluate whether a single preoperative dose of tamsulosin reduces the time to postoperative void and time to discharge in patients who are undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy.
Methods: This single-center, block-randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind superiority trial evaluated the effect of 0.4 mg tamsulosin compared with placebo on the time to void after hysterectomy.
In this nationwide cross‐sectional study in the United States, clinical and gynecologic characteristics varied across the anatomical site of ectopic pregnancy.

- * Cervical cancer had the highest representation among AYA patients at 25.3%, with notable increases in annual rates for several female cancers, particularly colorectal cancer which saw the largest increase at 4.1%.
- * The findings indicate a rising trend of AYA patients diagnosed with certain cancers related to obesity, especially in the three most common gynecologic cancers: ovary, uterus, and cervix.
Article Synopsis
- Advancements in assisted reproductive technology have led to a rise in gestational carrier pregnancies, highlighting the need for more research on their perinatal outcomes and associated risks.
- The objective of the study was to analyze maternal characteristics and obstetric outcomes in pregnancies involving gestational carriers.
- A systematic review included six studies analyzing over 28,000 GC pregnancies, revealing higher rates of frozen embryo transfers and comparing various obstetric outcomes with non-GC pregnancies.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to analyze obstetric outcomes in pregnant women with congenital uterine anomalies using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2016 and 2019.* -
- Out of 50,180 women assessed, the majority had a bicornuate uterus, with 70.6% achieving full-term live births, while 26.8% experienced preterm births.* -
- The findings highlighted that women with uterine didelphys had the highest rates of preterm births, and 65.7% of all patients underwent cesarean sections, with increased risks of severe maternal morbidity associated with septate uteri.*
Objective: To describe population-level utilization of fertility-sparing surgery and outcome of reproductive-aged patients with early epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent fertility-sparing surgery in the United States.
Methods: This retrospective study queried the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result Program. The study included 3,027 patients younger than age 50 years with stage I epithelial ovarian cancer receiving primary surgical therapy from 2007 to 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate trends and outcomes of pregnancies in women with Turner syndrome in the U.S. using data from hospital deliveries between 2016 and 2020.
- Turner syndrome prevalence among pregnant patients was found to be 7.0 per 100,000 deliveries, with an increase in cases during the study period, suggesting a rising recognition of the condition.
- Pregnant women with Turner syndrome faced higher risks of various complications, such as pregestational hypertension, intrauterine fetal demise, and were more likely to have cesarean deliveries compared to those without the syndrome.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the maternal and fetal health outcomes in morbidly obese pregnant women who conceived using assisted reproductive technology (ART), focusing on data from a significant national sample.
- It finds that patients with class III obesity (severe obesity) are at a notably higher risk for complications like hypertensive disorders, diabetes, and adverse neonatal outcomes compared to non-obese patients.
- Overall, the research indicates that severe obesity in pregnancy is linked to an increased likelihood of severe maternal morbidity, highlighting the need for tailored healthcare interventions for this population.
Introduction: Firearm-related injuries (FRI) are an important public health crisis in the US. There is relatively less city level data examining the injury-related trends in Tucson, Arizona. Our study aims to examine FRI, in Southern Arizona's only Level I trauma center.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Failure to rescue (FTR) is becoming a ubiquitous metric of quality care. The aim of our study is to determine the type and number of complications associated with FTR after trauma.
Methods: We reviewed the Trauma Quality Improvement Program including patients who developed complications after admission.
Background: Surgical exploration for gunshot wounds to the abdomen has been a surgical standard for the greater part of the past century. Recently, nonoperative management (NOM) has been deemed as a safe option for abdominal gunshot wounds (AGWs). The aim of this analysis was to review the utilization of NOM and mortality after AGWs.
