Background: Children and young people living with severe obesity experience a range of complications of excess weight (CEW); however the prevalence of complications is not well defined. We have evaluated baseline characteristics and CEW of patients from two UK tier 3 paediatric weight management services.
Methods: All new patients aged 2-17 years seen from March 2022 to February 2023 were included.

Article Synopsis
- * Using data from the National Inpatient Sample (2017-2019), the researchers focused on maternal risk factors like severe preeclampsia, placenta accreta spectrum, and cardiac issues, and examined outcomes such as serious complications and organ failures.
- * Findings indicated that risk factors were associated with worse outcomes but that these associations were less severe in higher-level care facilities (Level III/IV), suggesting that better care settings could improve maternal health results.
Objective: To evaluate outcomes of female physicians after assisted reproductive technology (ART).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from 248 physician patients and 3,470 nonphysician patients who underwent a total of 10,095 fresh or frozen ART cycles at a single academic center in an insurance-mandated state between January 2015 and March 2022. The primary outcome was live-birth rate.
Objective: To describe the impact of lack of workplace support (LOWS) for obstetric health on surgeon distress and career satisfaction.
Background: Although most pregnant surgeons desire clinical duty reductions to mitigate obstetric risk, few modify their schedules due to low workplace support.
Methods: US surgeons with at least one live birth completed an electronic survey.
Importance: The ability to pursue family planning goals is integral to gender equity in any field. Procedural specialties pose occupational risks to pregnancy. As the largest procedural specialty, general surgery provides an opportunity to understand family planning, workplace support for parenthood, obstetric outcomes, and the impact of these factors on workforce well-being, gender equity, and attrition.
