Treatment efficacy for idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss - a systematic review and meta-analyses.

Introduction: Medical treatment of women with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss is controversial. The objective was to assess the effects of different treatments on live birth rates and complications in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss.

Material And Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library, and identified 1415 publications.

Thromboembolism and in vitro fertilization - a systematic review.

Material And Methods: We performed a systematic review.

Randomized controlled study in pregnancy on treatment of marked hyperglycemia that is short of overt diabetes.

Introduction: A randomized multicenter study was conducted in the Stockholm-Örebro areas in Sweden to evaluate how treatment aiming at normoglycemia affects fetal growth, pregnancy and neonatal outcome in pregnant women with severe hyperglycemia.

Material And Methods: Pregnant women with hyperglycemia defined as fasting capillary plasma glucose <7.0 mmol/L and a two-hour plasma glucose value ≥10.

Well-being and sense of coherence during pregnancy.

Background: Our knowledge of how a woman as an individual experiences, evaluates and copes with pregnancy is limited. The concept of 'sense of coherence' as described by Antonovsky may be an important factor in how people deal with stressful situations in life. The aim of this study is to describe pregnant women's perception of well-being during pregnancy and after delivery and to explore its relationship to their sense of coherence.

Maternal and fetal outcomes if gestational impaired glucose tolerance is not treated.

Objective: To evaluate whether there is increased maternal or neonatal morbidity in connection with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) during pregnancy when the condition is not treated.

Research Design And Methods: During the study period of 1997-2001, in a defined geographical area in Sweden, the diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were limited to the criteria for diabetes. Prospectively, 213 women who were identified with IGT during pregnancy were undiagnosed and untreated.
