[Routine application of results of a randomised trial: performance of ultrasound in daily routine practice for screening fetal macrosomia].

Objective: To evaluate the performance of ultrasound at 36 weeks of gestation for screening fetal macrosomia according to the criteria of the randomized "DAME" trial.

Method: Retrospective observational study over 2 years in a type 3 maternity hospital. The primary outcome was birth weight above the 97th percentile on Audipog birth weight curves.

Staff Resources in Public and Private Hospitals and Their Implication for Medical Practice: A French Study of Caesareans.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of hospital staffing resources on medical practice in public versus private hospitals. We used exhaustive delivery data from a French district of 11 hospitals over an 11-year period, from 2008 to 2018, including 168,120 observations. We performed multilevel logistic regression models with hospital fixed or random effects, while controlling for factors known to influence obstetric practice.

[Usefulness of ultrasound measurement of the lower uterine segment before delivery of women with a prior cesarean: Literature review].

Identifying women with a history of cesarean delivery and at real risk for uterine rupture is an important aim in obstetric care. It is with this objective that different authors have evaluated the interest of ultrasound for predicting the risk of a cesarean scar defect by measuring the thickness of the lower uterine segment. The literature is sparse and subject to numerous biases because they are mainly prospective cohort studies with small numbers.
