Background: Endometriosis and adenomyosis are common benign conditions compromising both physical and psychological health, with a negative impact on quality of life. This survey aimed to establish what the users' perspectives are on best possible care in the context of developing a multidisciplinary center for endometriosis and adenomyosis in Norway.
Methods: An electronic questionnaire was developed in collaboration between the Norwegian Patient's Endometriosis Society (NPES) and gynecologists with special interest in endometriosis and adenomyosis.
Background: Kidney transplant recipients have now conceived for almost 50 years. Nevertheless, few studies have evaluated long-term health outcomes for kidney transplanted women after pregnancies.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all Norwegian women receiving a kidney transplant before the age of 50 years between 1969 and 2013, with graft loss, cardiovascular disease, and death as outcomes.
Women pregnant following kidney transplantation are at high risk of preeclampsia. Identifying the effects of preeclampsia on pregnancy outcome and allograft function in kidney transplanted women, and predicting which women will require more targeted follow-up and possible therapeutic intervention, could improve both maternal and neonatal outcome. In this retrospective cohort study of all pregnancies following kidney transplantation in Norway between 1969 and 2013, we used medical records to identify clinical characteristics predictive of preeclampsia.

Introduction: Internal design flaws in previous reports of pregnancies following kidney transplantation have been outlined, and the need for a validation has been stated. The aim of this study was to collect information about obstetrical and neonatal outcomes in all Norwegian pregnancies following maternal kidney transplantation, and to compare these data with the general Norwegian population.
Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort study based on 1 272 000 deliveries in Norway between 1969 and 2013.
