Uterine Cervical Length Measurement to Reduce Length of Stay in Patients Admitted for Threatened Preterm Labor: A Randomized Trial.

Objective: To study whether knowledge of cervical length (CL) is useful in reducing the length of hospital stay in women admitted because of threatened preterm labor.

Methods: We performed a single-center, parallel, randomized trial at the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona. Inclusion criteria were single pregnancy, gestational age (GA) between 24+0 and 35+6 weeks, Bishop score <6, no parturition within 24-48 h after admission, and no clinical signs of chorioamnionitis, vaginal bleeding, or nonreassuring fetal status.

First-trimester Down syndrome screening in renal-transplanted pregnant women: a model for adjusting the false-positives rates.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a model to adjust the increased β-hCG levels observed in renal-transplanted women, leading to increased false-positive rates in Down syndrome screening.

Methods: Detailed data from 11 renal-transplanted and a nested-cohort of 70 pregnant women, matched by age, parity and gestational age were retrieved from our hospital records. Patient's age, multiples of the median (MoM) values for freeβ-hCG, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A, nuchal translucency, and creatinine concentration and clearance were noted.

PP106. Risk of long term renal graft loss after pregnancy in renal transplant recipients immunosuppressed with calcineurin inhibitors.

Introduction: Intron long-term graft function are uncertain. Although there have been a large number of successful pregnancies in renal graft recipients, the effects of pregnancy and type of immunosuppressant drugs.

Objectives: To analyze (1) the impact of pregnancy on the long term renal function and graft survival of kidney transplant recipients (KTx), and (2) the impact og the pregnancy in (KTx) immunosupressed with calcineurin inhibitors (CNI).

[Preventing the risk of postpartum depression and premature childbirth by a psychosomatic approach: a randomized multicenter study].

Background And Objective: Randomized studies to assess postnatal depression and preterm childbirth are rarely in conjunction; the 2 problems are treated separately regardless of their common risk factors. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a prenatal program based on a psychosomatic approach on the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) and preterm childbirth.

Subjects And Method: Controlled clinical trial, randomized and multicenter study.

Previable rupture of membranes: effect of amniotic fluid on pregnancy outcome.

Objective: To evaluate pregnancy outcome and the role of the amount of amniotic fluid (AF) in the prognosis of extremely preterm (<24 weeks) premature rupture of membranes (EPPROM).

Study Design: Women with EPPROM and on-going pregnancy after 1 week of expectant management were included.

Exclusion Criteria: fetal anomalies, termination of pregnancy and spontaneous recovery of AF within the first week.
