[Prostaglandins or cervical balloon for the induction of labor for cervical ripening: A literature review].

Objective: Induction of labor in France concerns one birth out of four with 70% of induction starting by cervical ripening, either with a pharmacological (prostaglandins) or a mechanical (balloon) method. This review aims to compare these two methods within current knowledge, using the PRISMA methodology.

Methods: Trials comparing these two methods, published or unpublished up to July 2023, in French or English were searched for in the PubMed, Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrial.

Five-year outcomes for extremely preterm babies with active perinatal management: A clinical prediction model.

Objective: To develop and validate a clinical prediction model for outcomes at 5 years of age for children born extremely preterm and receiving active perinatal management.

Design: The EPIPAGE-2 national prospective cohort.

Setting: France, 2011.

Circumstances, causes and timing of death in extremely preterm infants admitted to NICU: The EPIPAGE-2 study.

Aim: To describe the circumstances, causes and timing of death in extremely preterm infants.

Methods: We included from the EPIPAGE-2 study infants born at 24-26 weeks in 2011 admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Vital status and circumstances of death were used to define three groups of infants: alive at discharge, death with or without withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment (WWLST).

Timing and Preventability of Cardiovascular-Related Maternal Death.

Objective: To describe the clinical profile, management, and potential preventability of maternal cardiovascular deaths.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study of all maternal deaths resulting from a cardiovascular disease during pregnancy or up to 1 year after the end of pregnancy in France from 2007 to 2015. Deaths were identified through the nationwide permanent enhanced maternal mortality surveillance system (ENCMM [Enquête Nationale Confidentielle sur les Morts Maternelles]).

Survival and neurodevelopmental impairment of outborn preterm infants at 5.5 years of age: an EPIPAGE-2 prospective, matched study using multiple imputation.

Objective: To determine whether birth outside a level-3 centre (outborn) is associated with a difference in the combined outcome of mortality or moderate-to-severe neurological impairment at 5.5 years of age compared with birth in a level-3 centre (inborn) when antenatal steroids and gestational age (GA) are accounted for.

Design: Individual matched study nested within a prospective cohort.

Balloon catheters versus vaginal prostaglandins for labour induction (CPI Collaborative): an individual participant data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Background: Induction of labour is one of the most common obstetric interventions globally. Balloon catheters and vaginal prostaglandins are widely used to ripen the cervix in labour induction. We aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety profiles of these two induction methods.

Long-term evaluation of the impact of delivery modalities on anal continence in women with Crohn's disease.

Context: Crohn's disease (CD) and sphincter injury during childbirth are two risk factors for anal incontinence (AI). The long-term risk of developing AI in women with CD after childbirth has never been studied.

Goal: The main objective of the study is to assess the risk of developing severe AI after childbirth in women with CD.

A study of diabetic ketoacidosis in the pregnant population in the United Kingdom: Investigating the incidence, aetiology, management and outcomes.

Aim: To estimate the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) among pregnant women, describe its clinical features, management and outcomes and identify the risk factors for the condition.

Methods: A national population-based case-control study was conducted in the UK using the UK Obstetric Surveillance System between April 2019 and September 2020 including all pregnant women with DKA irrespective of the level of blood glucose. The incidence rate of DKA in pregnancy was estimated.

Contribution of ultrasonography to the prediction of the induction-delivery interval: The ECOLDIA prospective multicenter cohort study.

Introduction: To evaluate the ability of preinduction ultrasonographic cervical length to predict the interval between induction and delivery in women at term with a Bishop score of 4 to 6 at induction.

Study Design: This multicenter prospective observational cohort recruited 334 women from April 2010 to March 2014. Inclusion criteria were women with singleton pregnancies at a gestational age ≥37 weeks, with no previous caesarean, a medical indication for induction of labor, and a Bishop score of 4, 5, or 6.

[Health consequences of tobacco exposure during pregnancy and childhood].

Health consequences of tobacco exposure during pregnancy and childhood.In France, about 15% of fetuses are exposed to maternal smoking during pregnancy and about 30% of children are exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke. Furthermore, 20 to 25% of young adults are active smokers.

Risk factors for very preterm delivery out of a level III maternity unit: The EPIPAGE-2 cohort study.

Background: Regionalisation programmes aim to ensure that very preterm infants are born in level III units (inborn) through antenatal referral or transfer. Despite widespread knowledge about better survival without disability for inborn babies, 10%-30% of women deliver outside these units (outborn).

Objective: To investigate risk factors associated with outborn deliveries and to estimate the proportion that were probably or possibly avoidable.

Cervical ripening in prolonged pregnancies by silicone double balloon catheter versus vaginal dinoprostone slow release system: The MAGPOP randomised controlled trial.

Background: Prolonged pregnancies are a frequent indication for induction of labour. When the cervix is unfavourable, cervical ripening before oxytocin administration is recommended to increase the likelihood of vaginal delivery, but no particular method is currently recommended for cervical ripening of prolonged pregnancies. This trial evaluates whether the use of mechanical cervical ripening with a silicone double balloon catheter for induction of labour in prolonged pregnancies reduces the cesarean section rate for nonreassuring fetal status compared with pharmacological cervical ripening by a vaginal pessary for the slow release of dinoprostone (prostaglandin E2).

Term prelabor rupture of membranes: guidelines for clinical practice from the French College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF).

Objective: To determine the management of patients with term prelabor rupture of membranes.

Methods: Synthesis of the literature from the PubMed and Cochrane databases and the recommendations of French and foreign societies and colleges.

Results: Term prelabor rupture of membranes is considered a physiological process until 12 h have passed since rupture (professional consensus).

Smoking and smoking cessation in pregnancy. Synthesis of a systematic review.

Objectives: To provide up-to-date evidence-based guidelines for the management of smoking cessation during pregnancy and the post-partum period.

Study Design: A systematic review of the international literature was undertaken between January 2003 and April 2019. MEDLINE, EMBASE databases and the Cochrane library were searched for a range of predefined key words.

[Cesarean sections in the Centre-Val de Loire region: Practices and indications-the Robson Classification].

Background: To study the cesarean section (c-section) practices in the French Centre-Val de Loire region: incidence of planned c-section and rate variations between maternities, incidence of potentially avoidable cesarean sections.

Methods: The data were extracted from the 2016 regional birth register, which permitted classification of each planned c-section according to the pre-existing risk of c-section (high or low) as defined by the Robson classification. To enhance the data, especially the indications for c-section, which are not included in the register, a survey was conducted from September 2016 to February 2017 in all of the 20 maternities in the region.

[Consequences of Active Cigarette Smoking in Pregnancy - CNGOF-SFT Expert Report and Guidelines on the management of smoking during pregnancy].

Objective: To synthesize knowledge on the consequences of active smoking in pregnancy.

Methods: The MedLine database, the Cochrane Library and French and foreign guidelines from 1999 to 2019 have been consulted.

Results: Active maternal smoking is associated with an increased risk of first trimester complications such as early miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy with a dose-effect relationship between smoking and those risks.
