Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from over 15 million vaginal births between 2016 and 2021, finding an overall OASI incidence of 1.1%, with vaginal parity and operative birth being the strongest predictive factors.
- * The final model explained 11.8% of the variability in OASI occurrences, indicating that while some clinical factors are useful for prediction, many OASI cases still lack clear explanatory factors, urging further research on underlying mechanisms.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the time of day affects the likelihood of operative vaginal births (OVBs) compared to spontaneous vaginal births (SVBs) using U.S. birth data from 2016 to 2021.
- After analyzing over 15 million births, it was found that OVBs were more common during the late afternoon (4:30-7:30 p.m.) and less common in the early morning (3:00-6:00 a.m.).
- The results suggest that different times of day influence the use of birth intervention methods, indicating a need for further research into the reasons behind these temporal trends.
SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause severe disease among pregnant persons. Pregnant persons were not included in initial studies of therapeutics for COVID-19, but cumulative experience demonstrates that most are safe for pregnant persons and the fetus, and effective for prevention or treatment of severe COVID-19.

Study Design: We conducted a quality improvement project to increase utilization of three evidence-based IOL practices: combined agent ripening, vaginal misoprostol, and early amniotomy. Singletons with intact membranes and cervical dilation ≤2 cm admitted for IOL were included.
Objective: To determine delivery risk phenotype-specific incidence of early-onset sepsis (EOS) among preterm infants.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study of infants born <35 weeks' gestation at four perinatal centers during 2017-2021. Infants were classified into one of six delivery risk phenotypes incorporating delivery mode, presence of labor, and duration of rupture of membranes (ROM).
