The association of patient age, race, and demographic features on reported pain and sedation dosing during procedural abortion: A retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: To explore impact of age, racial, demographic, and psychosocial factors on patients' dosage of analgesia and maximum pain score during procedural abortion.

Study Design: We performed retrospective chart review of pregnant individuals undergoing procedural abortion at our hospital-based abortion clinic from October 2019 through May 2020. Patients were stratified into age groups,<19 years, 19 to 35 years, and>35 years.

Real-world implementation of a vaginal preparation policy prior to cesarean delivery.

Objective: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a major source of morbidity and mortality for women who undergo cesarean section (c-section). SSIs following c-section include wound infection, infection of the endometrium (endometritis) and intra-abdominal infections. Perioperative interventions to prevent these infections continue to be studied, including the use of vaginal preparation prior to c-section.
