Objective: To compare cost and reimbursement of robotic and abdominal sacrocolpopexy procedures to evaluate which approach may minimize costs while improving the hospital profit margin.
Methods: We performed an IRB-exempt retrospective cohort study investigating all patients who underwent robotic or abdominal sacrocolpopexy at our hospital between July 1, 2018 and May 31, 2022. Patient demographic, procedural, and postoperative course data were extracted via chart review including duration of procedure, time in operating room, complications, and length of hospital stay.
Objective: Urogynecology patients skew older and often require intimate exams to treat non-life-threatening conditions, thus making care particularly susceptible to the effects of COVID-19. We aim to understand COVID-19 vaccination attitudes amongst urogynecology patients during the pandemic, which has adversely affected healthcare delivery, to identify measures that can be undertaken to improve care going forward.
Study Design: Cross-sectional surveys of urogynecology patients were conducted in three different states (Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) between March and August 2021.
Introduction: Contraception is key for maternal well-being in the postpartum period. This study aims to evaluate the impact of prenatal counseling on postpartum contraception uptake.
Methods: This cohort study assessed pregnant patients who received their prenatal care at our outpatient obstetrics clinic in 2021-2022.
Background: Over-the-counter levonorgestrel emergency contraception (OTC EC) is safe and effective but underutilized for postcoital pregnancy prevention. Unnecessary restrictions imposed by pharmacies and pharmacy workers may impede EC uptake.
Objective: To assess the persistence of age- and gender-based barriers to OTC EC access among pharmacists and pharmacy staff across Los Angeles, CA.
