Background: Continuous glucose monitors provide detailed information regarding glycemic control in pregnant patients with type 1 diabetes. Little data have been published examining the association between continuous glucose monitor parameters and perinatal outcomes among gravidas with type 1 diabetes using continuous glucose monitors.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between perinatal outcomes and time-in-range as assessed by continuous glucose monitors used in pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Congenital hydrocephalus was once a permanently disabling and even fatal disease. With the advent of ventriculoperitoneal shunts, affected women are now surviving to their reproductive years and beyond. Pregnancy outcomes in this population are generally positive.

While usually seen in adolescents with congenital anomalies including imperforate hymen and vaginal stenosis, it has also been described following obstetric vaginal lacerations. The incidence following cesarean delivery is unknown.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine risk factors for co-twin fetal demise following RFA.
Introduction: Management options for treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) with severe donor intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) include fetoscopic laser surgery and umbilical cord occlusion (UCO). We studied perinatal survival outcomes in this select group after laser surgery, stratifying patients by preoperative estimated fetal weight (EFW) discordance.
Methods: In this retrospective study of monochorionic diamniotic twin gestations with TTTS and selective donor IUGR who underwent laser surgery (2006-2017), preoperative EFW discordance was calculated ([(larger twin - smaller twin)/(larger twin)] × 100) and cases were divided into discordance strata.
