We sought to determine the contribution of elective delivery to severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) on a weekly basis from 37-40 weeks' gestation. Chart reviews confirmed gestational age, delivery reason, and primary diagnosis of all inborn neonates with RDS requiring mechanical ventilation delivered at 37 0/7-40 6/7 weeks' gestation from 1/1/90-12/31/99. Exclusion criteria were sepsis, pneumonia, meconium aspiration, asphyxia, pulmonary hemorrhage, hydrops, chromosomal abnormality, or congenital malformations affecting respiration. Thirty-five thousand and thirty-one deliveries occurred from 37 0/7-40 6/7 weeks; 18 (0.05%) had RDS requiring mechanical ventilation. Nine infants delivered at 37 0/7-37 6/7 weeks, (OR for RDS = 38.5; 95% CI = 8.3, 178.3), seven delivered at 38 0/7-38 6/7 weeks, (OR for RDS = 13.3; 95% CI = 2.8, 64.0), and two delivered at 39 0/7-40 6/7 weeks. Six of 18 infants were electively delivered without documented lung maturity. Infants born at 37 0/7-38 6/7 weeks are at significantly increased risk for severe RDS. One third of RDS cases were potentially avoidable.

Cerclage in singleton pregnancies with no prior spontaneous PTB and short cervix: a randomized controlled trial.
Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM
January 2025
Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University.
Background: PTB (PTB) remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Cerclage for short cervical length (CL) ≤25mm in singletons with a history of spontaneous PTB is associated with decreased neonatal morbidity/mortality. Both vaginal progesterone and cerclage individually have level 1 evidence supporting benefit in prevention of PTB in pregnancies complicated by short CL, however there is a paucity of level 1 evidence regarding the potential benefit of cerclage with progesterone compared to progesterone alone for short CL ≤25mm in singletons without a history of spontaneous PTB.

Social Vulnerability and Pregnancy Option Counseling in the Setting of Periviable Delivery.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Northwell, New Hyde Park, NY 11042, USA.
: According to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, pregnant people facing periviable delivery should be counseled on expected neonatal outcomes and available pregnancy options. The objective of this study is to evaluate if rates of neonatology consultation and pregnancy option counseling for those facing periviable delivery differ based on social vulnerability factors or Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). : This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who delivered at 22 0/7 weeks to 25 6/7 weeks of gestation at two academic medical centers with level III or IV neonatal intensive care units from 2019 to 2022.

Owing to the growing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the treatment of cancer, a wide spectrum of toxicity has arisen among cancer patients. Yet, limited ICI toxicity-related research is currently conducted in our region. This is a retrospective observational study conducted on adult cancer patients who received at least one cycle of ICI single therapy.
