Estimation of proximal junctional failure and associated risk factors in adult spine deformity surgery: an observational study from a single institution.

Study Design: A retrospective observational cohort study.

Purpose: To estimate the proximal junctional failure (PJF) rate and identify associated factors.

Overview Of Literature: Proximal junctional pathologies are challenging and common complications of adult spine deformity (ASD) surgery.

myRESEARCHpath: An Interactive Tool for Investigators and Research Administrators.

Research-intensive institutions rely on specialized central offices to support research administrators and investigators through various processes and requirements. This helps researchers successfully and compliantly conduct and manage research. However, when these support offices communicate their processes and resources from disparate locations, it can be challenging for research administrators and investigators to locate what they need at the time they need it, and to understand how this information relates with that provided by other research support offices.

Association between induction start time and labor duration in nulliparous women undergoing elective induction of labor.

Objective: To examine the association between elective induction of labor (EIOL) start time and labor duration among nulliparous women Methods: The ARRIVE trial was a multi-center randomized controlled trial of induction of labor at 39 weeks 0 days to 39 weeks 4 days versus expectant management in low-risk nulliparous women. In this secondary analysis, we included participants randomized to the induction group who had an EIOL without spontaneous labor or rupture of membranes prior to the induction start. Start time of EIOL was categorized as: early AM (midnight to 5:59 AM), late AM (6 AM-11:59 AM), early PM (noon-5:59 PM), or late PM (6 PM-11:59 PM).

Prediction of Hepatitis C Virus Perinatal Transmission in Pregnant Individuals With Hepatitis C Virus Infection.

Our objective was to develop a prediction model for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection perinatal transmission to improve triage for neonatal follow-up. This was a secondary analysis of HCV antibody-positive participants who were enrolled in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network multicenter observational study of HCV infection in pregnancy. Among 432 participants, the perinatal transmission rate was 6.
