The impact of maternal serum biomarkers on maternal and neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies: a retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary hospital.

Background: Prior prediction models used for screening preeclampsia (PE) in twin pregnancies were found to be inadequate. In singleton pregnancies, various maternal biomarkers have been shown to be correlated with negative pregnancy outcomes. However, the impact of these biomarkers in twin pregnancies remained uncertain.

A meta-analysis of obstetric and neonatal outcomes in patients after treatment of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis.

Introduction: Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is widely performed in women with intrauterine adhesions. Small observational studies have reported the obstetric and neonatal outcomes, but studies with larger sample sizes are few. The aim of this study is to evaluate the obstetric and neonatal outcomes in women after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis.

Pregnancy-related complications and perinatal outcomes following progesterone supplementation before 20 weeks of pregnancy in spontaneously achieved singleton pregnancies: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Progesterone supplementation is widely performed in women with threatened miscarriage or a history of recurrent miscarriage; however, the effects of early progesterone supplementation on pregnancy-related complications and perinatal outcomes in later gestational weeks remain unknown.

Methods: Ovid MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, Embase and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched until April 3rd, 2021.

Luteal phase support for in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection fresh cycles: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Various luteal phase supports (LPSs) have been proven to increase the pregnancy rate in fresh cycles of in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection; however, there is still significant debate regarding the optimal use of LPS.

Methods: A systematic review with the use of a network meta-analysis was performed via electronic searching of Ovid MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov and Google Scholar (up to January 2021) to compare the effectiveness and safety of various LPSs, as well as to evaluate the effects of different initiations of LPSs on pregnancy outcomes.

Endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Purpose: To compare the effects of different endometrial preparation protocols for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles and present treatment hierarchy.

Methods: Systematic review with meta-analysis was performed by electronic searching of MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov and Google Scholar up to Dec 26, 2020.

The effect of intralipid on pregnancy outcomes in women with previous implantation failure in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Several recent studies have investigated the relationship between intravenous intralipid and in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes in women with previous implantation failure. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of intravenous intralipid on pregnancy outcomes in women with previous implantation failure. Ovid MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, Embase and ClinicalTrials.

Effects of placental cord drainage in the third stage of labour: A meta-analysis.

Observational studies have demonstrated that placental cord drainage can shorten the length of the third stage of labour and reduce blood loss during vaginal deliveries. The aim of our work was to evaluate the existing evidence for the effectiveness of placental cord drainage in the third stage of labour. PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar and 50 journals were searched up to the 4th of June, 2017.

Misoprostol for medical treatment of missed abortion: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

The efficacy and safety of misoprostol alone for missed abortion varied with different regimens. To evaluate existing evidence for the medical management of missed abortion using misoprostol, we undertook a comprehensive review and meta-analysis. The electronic literature search was conducted using PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, EBSCOhost Online Research Databases, Springer Link, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Ovid Medline and Google Scholar.
