Applying reflective multicriteria decision analysis to understand the value of therapeutic alternatives in the management of gestational and peripartum anaemia in Spain.

Background: The objective of the FeminFER project was to assess the value of ferric carboxymaltose following a multicriteria decision analysis in obstetrics and gynaecology in Spain.

Methods: Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) and ferrous sulphate were evaluated using the EVIDEM framework. Ten stakeholders participated to collect different perspectives.

[Early diagnosis of cervix cancer: Correlation between cytology, colposcopy and biopsy].

Objective: To determine the concordance between cytology, colposcopy and cervical biopsy in abnormal cytologies.

Material And Methods: An observational cross-sectional, clinically based, single center study was performed. The selected population consisted of 416 women between the ages of 25 and 65 who had undergone colposcopy for abnormal cytologies at the Reina Sofía Hospital, Córdoba, between August 1st, 2014, and September 30th, 2016.

Efficacy and safety of misoprostol, dinoprostone and Cook's balloon for labour induction in women with foetal growth restriction at term.

Background And Objectives: To compare effectiveness and safety of dinoprostone, misoprostol and Cook's balloon as labour-inducing agents in women with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) at term.

Methods: Retrospective cohort chart review of women diagnosed with foetal growth restriction at term in Reina Sofia Hospital, Cordoba, Spain from January 2014 to December 2015. Registration of baseline characteristics and method of induction was made.

What can we do to reduce the associated costs in induction of labour of intrauterine growth restriction foetuses at term? A cost-analysis study.

Objective: To evaluate the costs associated with induction of labour in intrauterine growth restriction fetuses comparing different procedures.

Study Design: 150 pregnancies at term diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction and indication for induction of labour were included. 24 were ripened with misoprostol 25 μg tablets, 24 with dinoprostone 10 mg vaginal insert, and 77 with Cook cervical ripening balloon.

Vaginal misoprostol and cervical ripening balloon for induction of labor in late-term pregnancies.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare vaginal misoprostol with the Cook cervical ripening balloon (CCRB) for induction of labor in late-term nulliparous women.

Methods: This open, quasi-experimental, prospective study included 109 nulliparous women with late-term pregnancies and Bishop scores < 7. Fifty-five women were allocated to receive vaginal misoprostol 25 mcg and 54 received the CCRB to induce labor.

Essure a novel option for the treatment of hydrosalpinx: a case series and literature review.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of hysteroscopic Essure device placement for the treatment of hydrosalpinx (HS)-related infertility in patients with laparoscopic contraindications and compared their pregnancy outcomes following IVF-ICSI treatment with those patients having had laparoscopic tubal occlusion (LTO).

Patients: From 2008 to 2014 a total of 50 patients were diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral hydrosalpinges: 29 patients had laparoscopic contraindications and were treated hysteroscopically and 21 patients were treated with laparoscopical salpingectomy.

Results: Of the 29 patients who underwent treatment with Essure(®), 21 began a cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF), and 13 finished in embryo transfer that resulted in seven clinical pregnancies.

iContraception(®): a software tool to assist professionals in choosing contraceptive methods according to WHO medical eligibility criteria.

Objective: To design software to assist health care providers with contraceptive counselling.

Methods: The Model-View-Controller software architecture pattern was used. Decision logic was incorporated to automatically compute the safety category of each contraceptive option.

Luteal phase support with progesterone in intrauterine insemination: a prospective randomized study.

Objective: To determine the effect of vaginal progesterone as luteal support on pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients who undergo ovulation induction with gonadotropins and intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Design: Prospective randomized trial.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.
