Background/objectives: Although high live birth rates are associated with oocyte donation (OD), these pregnancies are associated with increased obstetric and perinatal risks. This study evaluated maternal and neonatal risks after OD compared to in vitro fertilization (IVF) with autologous oocytes, and to spontaneous pregnancies (SPs), among singletons, twins and triplets.
Methods: A retrospective, large, population-based cohort study was conducted based on electronic data from Maccabi Healthcare Services.

Purpose: Fetal sex is independently associated with pregnancy complications and impacts neonatal outcomes. Evidence suggests that females have an advantage over males, with a better outcome in the perinatal period. In addition, fetal outcome in twin gestations is also related to the intrauterine position of the fetus, such as the first, the presenting or second twin.

Objective: To study mesh exposure rates among obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m) vs non-obese women after mid-urethral sling (MUS) operation.
Study Design: This retrospective cohort study included all patients who underwent MUS surgery for stress urinary incontinence April 2014-April 2021 in a tertiary-level university hospital. Data from obese and non-obese patients were compared.

Objective: Obesity is a key factor for stress urinary incontinence. Our aim was to evaluate the long-term, subjective surgical satisfaction rate among obese (BMI ≥ 30) women after mid-urethral sling (MUS) procedure in a tertiary-level university hospital.
Study Design: This retrospective, case-control study compared the outcomes of obese and non-obese patients who underwent MUS surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), March 2014-January 2020.
