Article Synopsis
- A universal transvaginal ultrasound (UTVUS) protocol was introduced at an institution to standardize ultrasound practices during the anatomy scan, aiming to improve outcomes like preterm birth and neonatal complications.
- A retrospective study analyzed 2,118 singleton pregnancies, comparing outcomes between a group that underwent risk-based TVUS (pre group) and a group that received UTVUS (post group), with no significant differences in adverse outcomes such as preterm birth or NICU admissions.
- The implementation of UTVUS did lead to increased use of vaginal progesterone but ultimately did not demonstrate a reduction in negative pregnancy effects compared to the previous selective ultrasound approach.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has rapidly spread throughout the world and while pregnant women present the same adverse outcome rates, they are underrepresented in clinical research. We collected clinical data of 155 test-positive COVID-19 pregnant women at Stony Brook University Hospital. Many of these collected data are of multivariate categorical type, where the number of possible outcomes grows exponentially as the dimension of data increases.
