Patient preferences regarding the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes at the time of hysterectomy: a qualitative study.

Our objective is to understand patients' preexisting values, beliefs, and preferences regarding removal or preservation of the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes at the time of hysterectomy for benign indications. We performed semi-structured interviews from August 2021 to March 2022 with patients referred for hysterectomy. Participants were recruited according to pre-specified diversity axes.

Assessing Influenza Vaccination Behaviors Among Medically Underserved Obstetric Patients.

Despite recommendations, maternal influenza vaccine acceptance has stagnated around 50%. A prospective cohort study was conducted of pregnant women seen in the clinic from September 2018 to April 2019. Primary outcomes included influenza vaccine uptake and reasons for vaccine refusal, categorized based on the Health Belief Model.

Factors Associated with Antenatal Influenza Vaccination in a Medically Underserved Population.

Influenza infection in pregnant women is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Despite recommendations for all women to receive the seasonal influenza vaccine during pregnancy, vaccination rates among pregnant women in the U.S.

Combination Antiretroviral Therapy and Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy.

Objective: To compare the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy among women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) to women without HIV, and to evaluate the association of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy with ART regimens or timing of ART initiation.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among two overlapping pregnancy cohorts using preexisting databases at a single tertiary care hospital: all pregnant women who delivered during years 2016-2018 (cohort 1) and all women living with HIV who delivered during years 2011-2018 (cohort 2). The primary outcome for both cohorts was any hypertensive disorder of pregnancy; gestational hypertension and preeclampsia were also examined separately.

Predictors of tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis and influenza vaccination during pregnancy among full-term deliveries in a medically underserved population.

Objective: To evaluate predictors of vaccination among women who received tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccination (Tdap), influenza vaccination, and Tdap and influenza vaccinations.

Study Design: In a retrospective cohort study of all full-term (≥37 weeks gestation) deliveries between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2018 at a single, safety-net institution, we used multinomial logistic regression models to compare predictors of vaccination among women who received Tdap only, influenza only, and both Tdap and influenza vaccines.

Results: Among 3132 full-term deliveries, women were primarily non-Hispanic black (67.

Detecting moderate or complex congenital heart defects in adults from an electronic health records system.

Background: The prevalence of moderate or complex (moderate-complex) congenital heart defects (CHDs) among adults is increasing due to improved survival, but many patients experience lapses in specialty care or their CHDs are undocumented in the medical system. There is, to date, no efficient approach to identify this population.

Objective: To develop and assess the performance of a risk score to identify adults aged 20-60 years with undocumented specific moderate-complex CHDs from electronic health records (EHR).
