Cervical cancer screening integrated in routine clinical care of women with HIV.

Objective: To evaluate if integrated cervical cancer screening (CCS) for women with HIV (WWH) in routine HIV care resulted in increased adherence to screening, and to describe the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-specific genotypes and the incidence of cellular abnormalities.

Design: Cohort study.

Methods: WWH who accepted the offer of combined CCS and HIV care (group 1), WWH who declined the offer (group 2), and WWH not offered CCS within HIV care (group 3) between 2013 and 2019 were included.

HIV-related stigma among healthcare providers working within infectious diseases and gynecology and obstetrics at a large teaching hospital in Denmark.

HIV-related stigma experienced in healthcare settings may be particularly detrimental to people with HIV (PWH). This study aims to examine the drivers of stigma and enacted HIV-related stigma among healthcare providers working in HIV and non-HIV care at a large teaching hospital in Denmark. In total, 162 providers working in gynecology and obstetrics, and 57 providers working in infectious diseases completed the "Measuring HIV stigma and discrimination among health facility staff" questionnaire.

Cardiotocography combined with ST analysis versus cardiotocography combined with fetal blood sampling in deliveries with abnormal CTG: a randomized trial.

Purpose: The aim was to investigate if intrapartum monitoring with cardiotocography (CTG) in combination with ST analysis (STAN) results in an improved perinatal outcome.

Methods: We performed a two-center randomized trial. 1013 women with term fetuses in cephalic presentation entered the trial.

SARS-CoV-2 in first trimester pregnancy: a cohort study.

Study Question: Does maternal infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in first trimester pregnancy have an impact on the fetal development as measured by nuchal translucency thickness and pregnancy loss?

Summary Answer: Nuchal translucency thickness at the first trimester scan was not significantly different in pregnant women with versus without SARS-CoV-2 infection in early pregnancy and there was no significantly increased risk of pregnancy loss in women with SARS-CoV-2 infection in the first trimester.

What Is Known Already: Pregnant women are more vulnerable to viral infections. Previous coronavirus epidemics have been associated with increased maternal morbidity, mortality and adverse obstetric outcomes.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Antibodies at Delivery in Women, Partners, and Newborns.

Objective: To investigate the frequency of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies in parturient women, their partners, and their newborns and the association of such antibodies with obstetric and neonatal outcomes.

Methods: From April 4 to July 3, 2020, in a single university hospital in Denmark, all parturient women and their partners were invited to participate in the study, along with their newborns. Participating women and partners had a pharyngeal swab and a blood sample taken at admission; immediately after delivery, a blood sample was drawn from the umbilical cord.

Copenhagen Baby Heart Study: a population study of newborns with prenatal inclusion.

Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are reported in 0.8% of newborns. Numerous factors influence cardiovascular development and CHD prevalence, and possibly also development of cardiovascular disease later in life.

[Antiretroviral HIV therapy and hormonal contraceptives].

HIV guidelines recommend assessment of conception issues for all people living with HIV. Studies have shown negligible risk of HIV transmission from well-treated patients with HIV, and therefore condoms are no longer recom-mended to reduce HIV transmission. Some antiretroviral agents are metabolised through the same enzyme systems in the liver as hormonal contraceptives, which can affect the plasma concentration of both drug classes and the effect of the drugs, including reduced contraceptive efficacy.

Higher rate of serious perinatal events in non-Western women in Denmark.

Introduction: To elucidate possible mechanisms behind the increased risk of stillbirth and infant mortality among migrants in Denmark, this study aimed to analyse characteristics of perinatal deaths at Hvidovre Hospital 2006-2010 - -according to maternal country of origin.

Methods: We identified children born at Hvidovre Hospital who died perinatally and included the patient files in a series of case studies. Our data were linked to data from population-covering registries in Statistics Denmark.

Impact of adding a second layer to a single unlocked closure of a Cesarean uterine incision: randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To investigate short- and long-term effects on residual myometrial thickness (RMT) of adding a second layer to a single unlocked closure of a Cesarean uterine incision.

Methods: This was a randomized double-blind controlled trial. Healthy nulliparous women scheduled for first-time elective Cesarean delivery were operated on using a modified version of the Misgav Ladach surgical technique.

[A pregnant woman with spontaneous rupture of the uterine artery].

Pregnant women with acute abdominal pain are a clinical challenge. We present a rare but potential life-threatening condition of a pregnant woman with acute abdominal pain. The woman was in gestational week 37 with severe abdominal pain and was admitted to the labour ward.

Postpartum pelvic pain--the "pelvic joint syndrome": a follow-up study with special reference to diagnostic methods.

Background: The etiology of pelvic joint syndrome (PJS) is not fully clarified. As a consequence, there is a lack of diagnostic methods to confirm the diagnosis, which today is mainly based on medical history.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine women with PJS using various diagnostic methods.

The aging woman: the role of medical therapy.

The growth of the postmenopausal population demands a change in the medical profession's approach to health and disease. Especially in the developed world, lifespan is increasing, and at the age of 60 the majority of women will still have at least 20 years to live. There will, therefore, be an increasing need for health programs that lead to more years of disability free life.

[Pregnancy associated pelvic pain. II: Symptoms and clinical findings].

Pelvic pain in pregnancy appears to be a problem on the increase. This study was undertaken to describe and analyse the relationship between subjective symptoms, daily disability, and clinical findings in women with symptom-giving pelvic girdle relaxation in pregnancy. Out of 1600 pregnant women, 238 had pelvic pain.

[Pregnancy associated pelvic pain. I: Prevalence and risk factors].

With this study, we wanted to determine the incidence of symptom-giving pelvic girdle relaxation during pregnancy and the prevalence post partum, identify predisposing factors, and determine the frequency of sick leave. A total of 1600 pregnant women entered the study. The incidence during pregnancy was 14%, the prevalence two, six, and twelve months post partum was 5%, 4%, and 2%, respectively.

Stratified rates of cesarean sections and spontaneous vaginal deliveries. Data from five labor wards in Denmark--1996.

Background: A fundamental point when auditing labor management is to ensure present and stratified process data.

Method: Stratification of deliveries into ten mutually exclusive groups enabled comparisons of rates of cesarean sections and rates of spontaneous vaginal deliveries between labor wards.

Results: Data from five labor wards in Denmark in 1996 were included in the study comprising a total of 11,287 women.

Symptom-giving pelvic girdle relaxation in pregnancy. II: Symptoms and clinical signs.

Background: Pelvic pain in pregnancy appears to be a problem that is increasing. This study was undertaken to describe and analyze the relationship between subjective symptoms, daily disability, and clinical findings in women with symptom-giving pelvic girdle relaxation in pregnancy

Materials And Methods: Out of 1600 pregnant women 238 had pelvic pain. After a clinical examination 11 women were excluded due to low back pain.

Symptom-giving pelvic girdle relaxation in pregnancy. I: Prevalence and risk factors.

Background: Previous studies concerning symptom-giving pelvic girdle relaxation in pregnancy have to our knowledge been retrospective. We wanted to 1) determine the incidence during pregnancy and the prevalence two, six, and twelve months post partum, 2) identify possible predisposing factors, and 3) determine the frequency and duration of sicklisting, prospectively.

Material And Methods: A cohort of 1600 consecutive pregnant women filled in a questionnaire.
