Objective: While guidelines propose a single elevated prolactin measurement drawn without excess venipuncture stress as sufficient for diagnosing hyperprolactinemia, this may lead to unnecessary evaluation in the setting of stress-induced hyperprolactinemia. In this study, we aimed to define the role of the cannulated prolactin test in confirming hyperprolactinemia.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 757 patients with unexplained hyperprolactinemia who performed a cannulated prolactin test in a community-based referral endocrine clinic between 2000-2015.
Purpose: To allocate parameters associated with significant deviations in sonographic estimated fetal weight (EFW) and evaluate labor outcomes in such circumstances.
Methods: Retrospective case-control study of women with a singleton gestation who underwent sonographic EFW within a week prior to delivery in a single tertiary university-affiliated medical center (2012-2018). The study group was comprised of 177 pregnancies in which sonographic EFW was at least ± 20% of actual birth weight, matched to 354 pregnancies with an accuracy of ± 1% of sonographic EFW to actual birth weight.
