Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
April 2025
Objective: To explore the variation and quality of the outcomes reported using descriptive analysis and interactive network visualisation of CS outcomes of comparative studies conducted in low-and middle-income settings.
Study Design: Systematic review of comparative studies to reduce caesarean section complications in low- and middle-income countries and outcome assessment using the modified Harman questionnaire, assessing for the presence of a clear primary outcome, an explanation of how the outcomes were analysed and a description of the methods used to enhance the quality of these measures.
Results: 102 comparative studies were included.
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of hospitalization for infectious diseases on the Health-Related Quality of life (HRQOL), multidimensional frailty, and functioning of older patients, we conducted a longitudinal matched cohort study in four European countries.
Methods: HRQOL, frailty, and functioning were assessed using validated questionnaires at inclusion, at discharge, and up to 6 months later in patients aged over 65 years hospitalized for severe acute respiratory or bloodstream infections, and matched controls hospitalized for non-infectious conditions. Comparative analyses employed multilevel mixed-effect linear or logistic models to assess changes from inclusion.
Article Synopsis
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a common fertility treatment, but the ways it's done can be very different at different clinics, and there are extra methods that might help it work better.
- This study looked at many previous trials to see which add-on methods are actually helpful and safe for IUI treatments.
- They found that using vaginal progesterone and endometrial scratch techniques might increase the chances of getting pregnant, but the proof isn't very strong for all methods.
Background: In non-endemic countries, malaria can be transmitted through blood donations from imported cases. To ensure standards of quality and safety of human blood, the European Union and Spanish national law, requires a deferral period, or a screening by immunological or genomic test among those donors with potential risk of malaria. Scientific societies, European Committee on Blood Transfusion, and Spanish Society of Haematology and Haemotherapy, refer only to the result of the immunological test.

- The study investigates the risks of complications associated with twin pregnancies conceived through Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) compared to those conceived naturally or through non-ART methods.
- It systematically reviews maternal and perinatal outcomes using data from 111 studies, focusing solely on twin pregnancies to avoid discrepancies from including higher order multiples like triplets.
- Findings show that ART-conceived twins are at a significantly higher risk for issues like preterm birth, hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, and requiring cesarean deliveries compared to non-ART twins, with notable statistical evidence supporting these risks.
