Retinal fluid quantification using a novel deep learning algorithm in patients treated with faricimab in the TRUCKEE study.

Background: Investigate retinal fluid changes via a novel deep-learning algorithm in real-world patients receiving faricimab for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Methods: Multicenter, retrospective chart review and optical coherence tomography (OCT) image upload from participating sites was conducted on patients treated with faricimab for nAMD from February 2022 to January 2024. The Notal OCT Analyzer (NOA) algorithm provided intraretinal, subretinal and total retinal fluid for each scan.

Factors Associated with More Than 500 Grams Inaccuracy in Sonographic Fetal Weight Estimation.

Background: The sonographic assessment of estimated fetal weight (EFW) is essential for identification of fetuses in weight extremes and aids in peripartum management. However, there are inconsistent reports regarding EFW accuracy.

Objectives: To examine maternal and fetal determinants associated with unreliable EFW.

Predictors of adverse neonatal outcome in pregnancies complicated by placenta previa.

Introduction: We aimed to underline the determinants of adverse neonatal outcome in gestations complicated by placenta previa (PP).

Methods: A retrospective study including all women diagnosed with placenta previa carrying a singleton gestation who delivered between 2011 and June 2019. Gestations with adverse neonatal outcomes were compared to those without.

The effect of fetal weight on the accuracy of sonographic weight estimation among women with diabetes.

Objective: The assessment of sonographic estimated fetal weight (EFW) enables identification of fetuses in the extremes of weight, thus aiding in the planning and management of peripartum care. There are conflicting reports regarding the accuracy of EFW in diabetic mothers. We aimed to study the factors associated with the accuracy of EFW at term, specifically the role of gestational and pre-gestational diabetes in this setting.

Sonographic fetal head circumference and the risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury following vaginal delivery.

Introduction: High birth weight is strongly associated with OASIS; nevertheless, it has not been determined which biometric characteristics most affect OASIS occurrence. We aimed to evaluate the association of estimated fetal head circumference with OASIS occurrence among primiparous women delivering by unassisted vaginal delivery.

Methods: A retrospective study included all primiparous women who delivered at term by spontaneous vaginal delivery from 2011-2019.

Does birthweight have a role in the effect of episiotomy on anal sphincter injury?

Purpose: Most professional guidelines advise against routine episiotomy during vaginal delivery, although mounting evidence supports its protective role regarding obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI). We aimed to study the effect of lateral and mediolateral episiotomies on the rate of OASI in relation to birthweight among nulliparous women undergoing vaginal delivery.

Methods: A historical cohort study was conducted of all nulliparous women who delivered vaginally at term between 2011 and 2019 at a tertiary university hospital.

Trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) in women with premature rupture of membranes.

The aim of this study was to assess the success rate of a trial of labor after a previous cesarean section (TOLAC) in the settings of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and to compare conservative management with spontaneous labor and induction of labor. This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a single tertiary care center between January 2011 and March 2017. Women with singleton pregnancy and a previous cesarean section (CS) who presented with PROM and underwent TOLAC were included.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Vasa Previa: Outpatient versus Inpatient Management.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the pregnancy outcome of two different management strategies: outpatient versus inpatient in women with prenatal diagnosis of vasa previa.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single tertiary center. Women with a prenatally diagnosed vasa previa between January 2007 and June 2017 were included.
