We used logistic regression analysis to investigate the relationship between serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and the rate of ongoing pregnancy. Retrospective data were collected from 1043 women who had undergone their first cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF), including 540 cycles of fresh embryo transfer and 503 cycles of frozen-thawed embryo transfer. The patients were divided into 4 groups based on the cutoff values from a receiver-operating characteristic curve: 0.0 to 12.4, 12.5 to 25.5, 25.6 to 44.1, and >44.2 pmol/L. After adjustment for multiple confounders, the serum AMH group was found to be significantly related to the rate of ongoing pregnancy in total cycles (0.0-12.4 vs 12.5-25.5 pmol/L; P = .0088, odds ratio, 1.909: vs 25.6-44.1 pmol/L; P = .0281, odds ratio, 2.109: vs >44.2 pmol/L; P = .0008, odds ratio, 2.840). In conclusion, there appears to be a significant relationship between serum AMH levels and the ongoing pregnancy rate in first IVF treatment cycles after adjustment for multiple confounders.

Background: Optimizing CS performance is a global health priority, given the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with both underuse and overuse. This study aims to (1) determine the facility-based CS rate in Suriname and explore which women are most likely to undergo a CS and (2) classify all CS by the WHO Robson classification and analyze the perinatal outcomes.
Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study in Suriname, using nationwide birth registry data that included all hospital births in 2020 and 2021 (≥ 27 weeks of gestation).

Threatened miscarriage is a common complication of early pregnancy characterized by symptoms of vaginal bleeding with/without abdominal cramps/pain in the first trimester. Progestogens are often administered for management of this condition. Presented herein is the protocol of an ongoing, multicentric clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of micronized progesterone (natural progestogen) compared to dydrogesterone (synthetic isomer of progesterone).

Introduction: During pregnancy, women rely on a variety of sources to obtain information. However, not all of these sources are equally reliable, and there is the concern that especially online information-seeking may increase pregnancy-related anxiety. This study examines to what extent different sources of pregnancy information are associated with concurrent pregnancy-related anxiety (RQ1) and changes in pregnancy-related anxiety throughout the pregnancy (RQ2).

Introduction: Infertility has become a major global issue due to the trend of delaying marriage and advanced maternal age. Family/Birth cohort studies are essential for exploring ways to enhance health outcomes at both the individual and societal levels. However, there is a shortage of cohorts that include families who have utilized assisted reproductive technology (ART), particularly initiated at the early stages before pregnancy.

Background: Zika virus (ZIKV) continues to circulate in Southeast Asia following the 2015-2016 global epidemic, posing an ongoing risk of importation and disease spread for Singapore, a tropical city-state in the region. The virus remains a threat to pregnant women and their fetuses due to the risk of Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS). Vaccines currently in development offer hope for reducing ZIKV infections and CZS cases.
