Association of Borderline Fetal Growth with Progression with Fetal Growth Restriction.

Objective:  This study aimed to evaluate if an estimated fetal weight (EFW) between 10 and 15th percentiles at the time of anatomy ultrasound, referred to as borderline fetal growth, is associated with progression to fetal growth restriction (FGR) on subsequent ultrasound, delivery of a small for gestational age (SGA) neonate, or neonatal intensive care (NICU) admission.

Study Design:  We performed a secondary analysis using the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-be (nuMom2b) data. The exposures were normotensive pregnancies with non-anomalous singleton gestations with normal growth, defined as EFW >15th percentile at the anatomy scan compared to borderline fetal growth fetuses defined as those with an EFW in the 10 to 15th percentiles.

Effectiveness of extended postpartum inpatient monitoring for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy to reduce the risk of readmission for preeclampsia with severe features.

Background: Preeclampsia is an obstetrical disorder, which complicates 3% to 6% of pregnancies and contributes to 21.6% of readmissions in the postpartum period. The optimal strategy for inpatient monitoring of blood pressures to minimize readmissions for postpartum patients with hypertensive disorders is not known.

The Impact of Fetal Anomalies on Contemporary Labor Patterns.

Objective: To compare labor patterns in pregnancies affected by fetal anomalies to low-risk singletons.

Study Design: Labor data from the Consortium on Safe Labor, a multicenter retrospective study from 19 U.S.
