NAUSEA AND VOMITING IN PREGNANCY. Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy are common symptoms experienced by pregnant women. In more severe cases, known as hyperemesis gravidarum, these symptoms can become a pathological condition that can lead to significant complications in both the short and long term.

There are obstetric charts (of fetal growth) and neonatal charts (of measurements at birth and of postnatal growth). These charts can be descriptive (derived from an unselected population) or prescriptive (derived from of a population at low risk and with optimal conditions for growth).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in two prenatal diagnosis centers between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2020.

Introduction: Prenatal investigations are usually performed to diagnose severe or associated forms of hypospadias. However, the value of this workup and the correlation with the postnatal diagnosis and follow-up have not been studied in the literature. The aims of the study were to describe postnatal outcomes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To assess which fetal growth charts best describe intrauterine growth in France defined as the ability to classify 10% of fetuses below the 10th percentile (small for gestational age [SGA]) and above the 90th percentile (large for gestational age [LGA]) in the second and third trimesters.
Methods: We analyzed five studies on fetal ultrasound measurements using three French data sources. Two studies used second and third trimester ultrasound data from a nationwide birth cohort in 2011 (the ELFE study, N = 13 197 and N = 7747); one study used third trimester ultrasound data from on a nationwide cross-sectional study (the 2016 French National Perinatal Survey, N = 9940); and the last two studies were from the "Flash study" 2014 which prospectively collected ultrasound data from routine visits in the second and third trimesters (N = 4858 and N = 3522).

Objective: To identify strategies for reducing neonatal and maternal morbidity associated with intrahepatic cholestasis pregnancy (ICP).
Material And Methods: The quality of evidence of the literature was assessed following the GRADE methodology with questions formulated in the PICO format (Patients, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) and outcomes defined a priori and classified according to their importance. An extensive bibliographic search was performed on PubMed, Cochrane, EMBASE and Google Scholar databases.
Background: Incontinence occurs frequently in the postpartum period. Several theoretical pathophysiological models may underlie the hypothesis that different types of management of the active phase of the second stage of labor have different effects on pelvic floor muscles and thus perhaps affect urinary and anal continence.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of "moderate pushing" on the occurrence of urinary or anal incontinence compared with "intensive pushing," and to determine the factors associated with incontinence at 6 months postpartum.
Importance: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a well-known risk factor for preterm birth. Molecular diagnosis of BV is now available. Its impact in the screening and treatment of BV during pregnancy on preterm births has not been evaluated to date.

Objective: To identify procedures to reduce maternal morbidity during cesarean.
Material And Methods: The quality of evidence of the literature was assessed following the GRADE® method with questions formulated in the PICO format (Patients, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) and outcomes defined a priori and classified according to their importance. An extensive bibliographic search was performed on PubMed, Cochrane and EMBASE databases.

Objective: To determine the management of patients with 1st trimester nausea and vomiting and hyperemesis gravidarum.
Methods: A panel of experts participated in a formal consensus process, including focus groups and two Delphi rounds.
Results: Hyperemesis gravidarum is distinguished from nausea and vomiting during pregnancy by weight loss≥5 % or signs of dehydration or a PUQE score≥7.

Background: Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are rare vascular malformations associated with the risk of life-threatening systemic conditions, which remain underdiagnosed and often are identified after considerable diagnostic delay. CPSS are characterized by multiple signs and symptoms, often masquerading as other conditions, progressing over time if the shunt remains patent. Which patients will benefit from shunt closure remains to be clarified, as does the timing and method of closure.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To recommend the most appropriate biometric charts for the detection of antenatal growth abnormalities and postnatal growth surveillance.
Methods: Elaboration of specific questions and selection of experts by the organizing committee to answer these questions; analysis of the literature by experts and drafting conclusions by assigning a recommendation (strong or weak) and a quality of evidence (high, moderate, low, very low) and for each question; all these recommendations have been subject to multidisciplinary external review (obstetrician gynecologists, pediatricians). The objective for the reviewers was to verify the completeness of the literature review, to verify the levels of evidence established and the consistency and applicability of the resulting recommendations.
Objective: To assess survival to discharge without severe neonatal morbidity by planned mode of delivery for twins born before 32 weeks of gestation.
Methods: The JUMODA (JUmeaux MODe d'Accouchement) study was a French national prospective, population-based, cohort study of twin deliveries conducted from February 2014 to March 2015. This planned secondary analysis included diamniotic twin pregnancies from 26 0/7 through 31 6/7 weeks of gestation.

Objectives: To evaluate the revision of methodology of the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) of the French National College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF).
Method: Three CPGs were organized in 2020 on the topics of severe preeclampsia, menorrhagia, and prophylactic surgery according to AGREE II (Apraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation). Questions were presented in PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) format and the grading of scientific evidence was based on the GRADE (Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation) method.
