Objectives: Although the relationship between maternal viral infections and fetal growth restriction (FGR) is well established, the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy and FGR remains unclear. We investigated the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy and FGR at a single county hospital.
Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study with cohorts matched by gestational age and month of SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing between April 2020 and July 2022.
Background: The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the effectiveness of intravenous magnesium (IV Mg) in rate and rhythm control of rapid atrial fibrillation (AF) when administered in addition to standard-of-care for non-post-operative patients. Previous meta-analyses on this topic have demonstrated the efficacy of IV Mg in achieving rate control, but not rhythm control.
Methods: Six randomized controlled trials comparing IV Mg to placebo in the treatment of rapid AF were obtained from electronic databases totaling 745 patients.
Objective: This study aimed to perform a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate if women with a low 50-g, 1-hour glucose challenge test (GCT) value are at risk for having neonates with a birth weight less than the 10th percentile.
Study Design: A computerized literature search was conducted to identify studies that compared outcomes of pregnant women with a low GCT value versus women with a normal GCT value during routine screening for gestational diabetes.
Results: Sixteen cohort studies were included for analysis.
