Marfan syndrome is associated with increased risk for gynecologic disorders and maternal complications.

Purpose: To determine whether patients with Marfan syndrome are at an increased risk for reproductive disorders.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted using the US collaborative network on the TriNetX research network of health care organizations. We included female patients aged 18-44 and identified a cohort of 4347 patients with Marfan syndrome (ICD-10 Q87.

Autoimmune Condition Diagnosis Following Recurrent Pregnancy Loss.

Problem: Research has suggested a link between recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and cell-mediated immunity dysregulation. We aimed to determine if a history of RPL is associated with diagnosis of a cell-mediated autoimmune condition (AIC).

Method Of Study: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX research network.

Neonatal birthweight prediction using two- and three-dimensional estimated fetal weight among borderline small fetuses.

Purpose: This study aimed (1) to determine the degree of correlation between 2D and 3D estimated fetal weight (EFW) and neonatal birth weight (BW) among borderline small fetuses and (2) to compare the accuracy and precision of 2D and 3D EFW in BW prediction.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study evaluated fetuses who had an ultrasound performed between January 2017 and September 2021 at a tertiary maternal center. All singleton pregnancies with 3D EFW within 4 weeks of delivery were included.

A critical view: Examining disparities regarding timely cholecystectomy.

Background: Implicit bias may prevent patients with abdominal pain from receiving optimal workup and treatment. We hypothesized that patients from socially disadvantaged backgrounds would be more likely to experience delays in receiving operative treatment for cholecystitis. To study this question, we examined factors related to having a prior emergency department presentation for abdominal pain (prior emergency department visit) within 3 months of urgent cholecystectomy.

Impact of Mandated Insurance Coverage of Assisted Reproductive Technology on Clinic Website Transparency.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether website transparency of service costs, accepted insurance plans, and financing options differs between reproductive endocrinology and infertility clinics located in states that do and do not mandate insurance coverage of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Six hundred forty-six clinics were identified using the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology online locator. Clinics were excluded for missing website links, duplicate entries, broken websites, or permanent closure.

Pediatric Trauma Care Disparities: Association of Race and Sex With High Acuity Trauma Hospital Admissions.

Introduction: For adult trauma patients, the likelihood of receiving treatment at a hospital properly equipped for trauma care can vary by race and sex. This study examines whether a pediatric patient's race/ethnicity and sex are associated with treatment at a high acuity trauma hospital (HATH).

Materials And Methods: Using the 2017 National Inpatient Sample, we identified pediatric trauma patients ( ≤16 y) using International Classification of Diseases-10 codes.

Student Knowledge of University Confidential Resources and Title IX Training Effectiveness.

Though many universities offer resources to student survivors of sexual violence, student survivors who do not know about these resources cannot utilize their services. Students who are unaware of the confidentiality status of these services may seek assistance from an on-campus service without realizing the potential consequences. Under the theory of institutional betrayal, knowledge of confidential resources may prevent experiences of institutional betrayal for students who have experienced sexual violence.
