Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze changes in outcomes for pregnant women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in America from 2004 to 2014, utilizing the HCUP-NIS database for data.
- Results showed increased risk factors like non-Caucasian race and obesity, but also improvements in pregnancy outcomes, including reductions in cesarean section rates and preterm delivery.
- Despite rising demographic risks, the data suggests that interventions to manage PCOS-related complications contributed to better overall pregnancy outcomes during the decade.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of kyphosis in a Turner syndrome (TS) population.
Methods: Standing lateral thoracic spine and standing anterior-posterior (A-P) scoliosis radiographs were obtained on all girls with TS between the ages of 5 and 18 years seen in a TS clinic between July 2000 and March 2001. Medical histories were reviewed, and a pediatric orthopedic surgeon evaluated the radiographs of each patient (N = 25).
