Trends in the incidence and mortality of cervical, ovarian, and corpus uteri cancers in Wales, UK: A joinpoint regression analysis from 2002 to 2021.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to examine the secular trends of cervical, ovarian, and corpus uteri neoplasm in Wales, UK, over the period from 2002 to 2021. We aimed to identify changes in the incidence and mortality rates of these cancers to inform future healthcare policies and cancer prevention programs.

Methods: We sourced incidence data from 2002 to 2019 and mortality data from 2002 to 2021 from the Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit.

Association between polycystic ovarian syndrome and incompetent uterine cervix: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: We aimed to determine the association between polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and cervical incompetence (CI). We hypothesise that insulin resistance induces a glucose metabolism disorder that could potentially cause cervical incompetence, resulting in an adverse outcome.

Design: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies to summarise the evidence regarding the strength of the association of occurrence of CI in a PCOS pregnant woman compared to a non-PCOS pregnant woman.
