Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is used widely for pathological diagnosis of SELs. Early diagnosis and treatment are important because all Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have some degree of malignant potential.

Background: We aim to identify risk factors contributing to extended rehospitalizations in patients diagnosed with postpartum endometritis requiring intravenous antibiotics.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined postpartum endometritis patients readmitted for treatment from 2014 to 2022, comparing short (≤ 48 h) and prolonged hospitalization (> 48 h). Data included patient demographics, medical history, presentation parameters, vaginal examination findings, sonographic data, laboratory results, and details of the current labor to create a scoring system predicting prolonged hospitalization risk.
