Article Synopsis
  • China lacks sufficient data on how cervical neoplastic lesions relate to CD4 T-lymphocyte counts and antiretroviral therapy (ART) in HIV-infected women, indicating a need for further research.
  • A study involving 545 HIV-infected women in Yunnan, China, found that higher CD4 counts and longer ART use were associated with lower odds of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1+), suggesting potential protective effects.
  • While the overall findings showed an inverse relationship between CD4 counts and CIN1+, ART's impact was less consistent, with significant interactions noted based on ethnicity and geographical location.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a three-stage intervention to reduce caesarean deliveries in a Chinese tertiary hospital.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to assess whether educating staff, educating patients and auditing surgeon practices (introduced in 2005) had reduced caesarean delivery rates. Multiple logistic regression was used to check for a potential association between caesarean rates and rates of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
