Individualized nutritional intervention versus routine care for gestational diabetes prevention: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects millions of females and their children. Effective dietary strategies for early prevention are controversial.

Objective: To investigate whether an individualized nutritional intervention reduced GDM incidence in high-risk females.

Choosing for a Homebirth during COVID-19 Lockdown in The Netherlands, who and why: A national prospective questionnaire study.

Objective: During the first COVID-19 lockdown in the Netherlands (9 March-1 June 2020), the homebirth rate increased from 27 % to 37 % among women with low-risk pregnancies starting labour in primary midwife-led care (overall population: 15 % in 2020). We explored characteristics and motivations of women who change their preference from a hospital birth to a home birth.

Design: A nationwide prospective online questionnaire.

Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Preventing Postpartum Depressive Symptoms Among Pregnant Individuals With Depression: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial in China.

Background: Women are particularly vulnerable to depression during pregnancy, which is one of the strongest risk factors for developing postpartum depression (PPD). Addressing antenatal depressive symptoms in these women is crucial for preventing PPD. However, little is known about the effectiveness of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) in preventing PPD in this high-risk group.

Atosiban versus placebo for threatened preterm birth (APOSTEL 8): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial.

Background: Tocolytics are recommended in international guidelines as treatment for threatened preterm birth. Atosiban, an oxytocin receptor antagonist, is a registered tocolytic drug specifically indicated for the treatment of threatened preterm birth. Although tocolytics have been shown to delay birth, benefits on neonatal outcomes have not been demonstrated.

The effect of an exam-indicated cerclage before 24 weeks of gestation to prevent preterm birth: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The effect of an exam-indicated cerclage (EIC) remains uncertain due to limited evidence from reviews covering pregnancies beyond this timeframe. With the 24-week mark serving as an international threshold for neonatal care initiation, the aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the available literature on the effectiveness of an EIC before 24 weeks of gestation.
