This review summarises the present knowledge of prophylactic progesterone and preterm birth. Preterm birth (less-than 37 weeks) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. The incidence varies globally but remains low in the Nordic countries (5-6%).

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a mental disorder with the greatest incidence amongst women of the childbearing age. The prevalence of AN in pregnancy is marginal, yet the risk of exacerbation or reactivation is significant. Adverse perinatal complications of mental and physical nature pertain to both mother and child and through early diagnosis and monitoring during the perinatal period manageable.

Making the best of the worst: Care quality during emergency cesarean sections.

Objective: This study aimed to identify factors influencing mothers' and their partners' perceptions of care quality, and to identify associated clinical factors.

Methods: Questionnaires were developed based on eight interviews with couples after emergency Cesarean Sections (ECS). The internal structure of the questionnaires was examined using Rasch analysis.

Social ties between team members affect patient satisfaction: a data-driven approach to handling complex network analyses.

Research from outside the medical field suggests that social ties between team-members influence knowledge sharing, improve coordination, and facilitate task completion. However, the relative importance of social ties among team-members for patient satisfaction remains unknown. In this study, we explored the association between social ties within emergency teams performing simulated caesarean sections (CS) and patient-actor satisfaction.

Effect of engaging trainees by assessing peer performance: a randomised controlled trial using simulated patient scenarios.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to explore the learning effect of engaging trainees by assessing peer performance during simulation-based training.

Methods: Eighty-four final year medical students participated in the study. The intervention involved trainees assessing peer performance during training.

Long-term intended and unintended experiences after Advanced Life Support training.

Aim: Highly structured simulation-based training (SBT) on managing emergency situations can have a significant effect on immediate satisfaction and learning. However, there are some indications of problems when applying learned skills to practice. The aim of this study was to identify long-term intended and unintended learner reactions, experiences and reflections after attending a simulation based Advanced Life Support (ALS) course.

The significance of clinical experience on learning outcome from resuscitation training-a randomised controlled study.

Context: The impact of clinical experience on learning outcome from a resuscitation course has not been systematically investigated.

Aim: To determine whether half a year of clinical experience before participation in an Advanced Life Support (ALS) course increases the immediate learning outcome and retention of learning.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective single blinded randomised controlled study of the learning outcome from a standard ALS course on a volunteer sample of the entire cohort of newly graduated doctors from Copenhagen University.

[Prevention of vertical transmission of HIV in Denmark].

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a RNA virus that can be transmitted parenterally, sexually or vertically. An effective prevention strategy has been implemented in industrialised countries, thereby reducing vertical transmission from 15-25% to < 1%. The aim of this study was to describe vertical transmission of HIV in Denmark after the introduction of ART.

Newly graduated doctors' competence in managing cardiopulmonary arrests assessed using a standardized Advanced Life Support (ALS) assessment.

Aim Of The Study: Several studies using a variety of assessment approaches have demonstrated that young doctors possess insufficient resuscitation competence. The aims of this study were to assess newly graduated doctors' resuscitation competence against an internationally recognised standard and to study whether teaching site affects their resuscitation competence.

Materials And Methods: The entire cohort of medical students from Copenhagen University expected to graduate in June 2006 was invited to participate in the study.
