Article Synopsis
- Spine surgery often leads to postoperative medical adverse events (AEs), primarily minor ones, which can be costly and impact patient outcomes; a study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a quality improvement (QI) care bundle in reducing these events.
- The research spanned 14 years and compared outcomes before and after implementing the QI care bundle, analyzing nearly 13,500 patients to evaluate changes in AEs and associated costs.
- Results indicated a significant reduction in several types of AEs, such as cardiac and pulmonary issues, following QI implementation; however, some AEs, like delirium, did not show improvement.
To assess the relationship between doula utilization and health outcomes of females enrolled in Medicaid-affiliated plans in the United States. In this retrospective, observational cohort study, we used Medicaid claims data from a national health insurer to compare health outcomes between females who used and who did not use a doula (2014-2023). We conducted propensity score matching using a 1:1 case‒control match, without replacement, and fit logistic regressions to analyze the relative risks for maternal health outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed maternal and infant health outcomes following cesarean sections (CS) compared to vaginal deliveries using data from a large U.S. healthcare claims database for the years 2019 and 2020.
- Results indicated that cesarean deliveries were associated with higher rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) both at 42 days and 360 days post-delivery, with significant odds ratios indicating increased risk compared to vaginal births.
- Additionally, infants born via CS showed higher prevalence of various adverse health outcomes by 360 days, particularly respiratory issues, although maternal and infant mortality rates were low in both delivery methods.
