Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to analyze obstetric outcomes in pregnant women with congenital uterine anomalies using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2016 and 2019.* -
- Out of 50,180 women assessed, the majority had a bicornuate uterus, with 70.6% achieving full-term live births, while 26.8% experienced preterm births.* -
- The findings highlighted that women with uterine didelphys had the highest rates of preterm births, and 65.7% of all patients underwent cesarean sections, with increased risks of severe maternal morbidity associated with septate uteri.*
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated how uterine adenomyosis affects obstetric outcomes in women aged 15-54 during hospital deliveries from 2016 to 2019.
- Using a large dataset, researchers found that women with adenomyosis had higher odds of serious placental complications like placenta previa, accreta, and abruption, and were more likely to have premature deliveries and cesarean sections.
- Overall, the findings indicate that uterine adenomyosis is linked to an increased risk of severe complications for both mothers and infants during childbirth.
Purpose: To examine patient and hospital characteristics related to seasonal fluctuation in in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined 33,077 oocyte retrievals identified in the National Ambulatory Surgery Sample. Exposure assignment was monthly IVF encounters: low-volume months (<25%ile), mid-volume months (≥25/<75%ile), and high-volume months (>75%ile).
Understanding how gene regulatory elements influence ovarian follicle development has important implications in clinically relevant settings. This includes understanding decreased fertility with age and understanding the short-lived graft function commonly observed after ovarian tissue cryopreservation and subsequent autologous transplantation as a fertility preservation treatment. The Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin by sequencing (ATAC-seq) is a powerful tool to identify distal and proximal regulatory elements important for activity-dependent gene regulation and hormonal and environmental responses such as those involved in germ cell maturation and human fertility.

Study Design: We conducted a single-institution, retrospective review. Women who requested postpartum tubal ligation after vaginal delivery from August 2015 to March 2019 were studied.
Objective: To evaluate the association of increasing body mass index (BMI) on postpartum tubal ligation safety and estimate the rates of procedure complication.
Methods: We conducted a single-institution, retrospective review. Women undergoing postpartum permanent contraception after vaginal delivery from August 2015 to March 2019 were studied.
Background: Despite increased compliance with Surgical Care Improvement Project infection measures, surgical-site infections are not decreasing. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that documented compliance with antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines on a pediatric surgery service does not reflect implementation fidelity or adherence to guidelines as intended.
Methods: A 7-week observational study of elective pediatric surgical cases was conducted.
Background: Perioperative checklists are mandated by many hospitals as determined by the reduction in morbidity and mortality seen with the use of the World Health Organization's Surgical Safety Checklist. An adapted perioperative checklist was implemented within our hospital system, and compliance with the checklist was reported to be 100%. We hypothesized that compliance does not measure the fidelity of implementation.
