The sFLT-1/PlGF Ratio for the Prediction of Preeclampsia-Related Adverse Fetal and Maternal Outcomes in Women with Preexisting Diabetes.

To evaluate the predictive value of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for the prediction of preeclampsia in women with preexisting diabetes mellitus. This is a monocentric retrospective observational study conducted between January 2018 and December 2020. All singleton pregnancies with preexisting diabetes mellitus, who had a dosage of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio between 30 and 34 + 6 weeks of gestation were included.

[Evaluation of the Tuto’Tour pregnancy intervention among pregnant smokers in vulnerable situations].

Introduction: In France, pregnant women generally receive written information about their pregnancy. The efficacy of these materials is limited for socially disadvantaged women, who are more likely to have lower levels of health literacy. As an alternative tool, awareness-raising videos have become popular, and the “Tuto’Tour de la grossesse” health promotion intervention has been created, which includes videos about smoking.

A nomogram to optimize the timing of antenatal corticosteroids in threatened preterm delivery.

Background: Recent observational studies reported a high rate of suboptimal use of antenatal corticosteroids (too anticipated or retrospectively not indicated) for women at risk of preterm delivery despite a recommended use within 7 days before delivery.

Objective: This study aimed to elaborate a nomogram aiming at optimizing the timing of administration of antenatal corticosteroids in case of threatened preterm labor, asymptomatic short cervix, or uterine contractions.

Study Design: This was an observational retrospective study conducted in a tertiary hospital.

Social context of preterm delivery in France in 2011 and impact on short-term health outcomes: the EPIPAGE 2 cohort study.

Background: Low socio-economic context increases the risk of preterm delivery and may affect short-term outcomes in children born preterm. We described the social context of preterm delivery in France in 2011 and compared it with the general population of deliveries over the same period. We also studied how social context influenced pregnancy and delivery characteristics in the preterm population, and how it affected mortality and short-term morbidity in liveborn preterm children (<35 weeks).

Development and validation of nomograms for predicting preterm delivery.

Objective: The objective of the study was to develop a statistical model for predicting risk of preterm delivery after in utero transfer for threatened preterm delivery in tertiary care centers.

Study Design: This study was an observational study including a total of 906 patients transferred for threatened preterm delivery at Paule-de-Viguier and Croix-Rousse University Hospitals. Clinical and sonographic data from 1 series were used to construct logistic regression models for predicting preterm delivery and were validated on an independent series.
