Objective: To analyze the factors affecting clinical pregnancy rate of intrauterine insemination in Center of Reproductive Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital, to guide clinical treatment.
Methods: In the study, 5 167 intrauterine insemination cycles were retrospectively analyzed from May 2011 to October 2012 in our reproductive center. The data were collected, the single-factor was analyzed with χ2 test, and the multi-factor was analyzed with Logistic regression with a significant level of 0.05.
Results: The cycle clinical pregnancy rate was 12.8%, which decreased with the increase of the female age and infertile duration. The clinical pregnancy rate was low when the sperm density was less than 1×10(6)/mL. In the ovulation group, the clinical pregnancy rate was higher than the natural group. The group with more than 2 dominant follicles had higher clinical pregnancy rate as compared with the single dominant follicle group. The clinical pregnancy rate was the highest in the third cycle but decreased after the fourth cycle. The clinical pregnancy rate was higher in cervical factors, sexual dysfunction, and polycystic ovary than in the group with other reasons.
Conclusion: The female age, infertile duration, ovarian stimulation and follicle number, cause of infertility were the main factors affecting clinical pregnancy outcome; the sperm density, and cycle numbers have influence too; the insemination timing, and frequency have little effect.

Background And Aims: Despite a well-funded healthcare system with universal insurance coverage, Switzerland has one of the highest neonatal and infant mortality rates among high-income countries. Identifying avoidable risk factors targeted by evidence-based policies is a public health priority. We describe neonatal and infant mortality in Switzerland from 2011 to 2018 and explore associations with neonatal- and pregnancy-related variables, parental sociodemographic information, regional factors and socioeconomic position (SEP) using data from a long-term nationwide cohort study.

Introduction: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 24 weeks of gestation, affects up to 1%-2% of couples. Aim of this retrospective cohort study was to report the main causes and pregnancy outcomes of a cohort of women with RPL and the efficacy of a personalized work-up and treatment in terms of live birth rate.
Material And Methods: Women with primary (pRPL) and secondary (sRPL) RPL underwent a complete work-up and personalized therapeutic management.

Introduction: Healthcare professionals are in an optimal position to deliver exercise information to pregnant women, yet previous research suggests this seldom happens. Midwives and nurse practitioners, who may have more time with pregnant women, are particularly well suited for this role.
Objectives: This qualitative study examined the exercise advice and counseling provided by midwives and nurse practitioners in Kentucky, focusing on the barriers they face.

Background: Iron deficiency during pregnancy poses a significant risk to both maternal and foetal health. Current international guidelines provide discrepant advice on antenatal iron supplementation for non-anaemic women.
Objective: We aimed to quantify the benefits and harms of routine antenatal supplementation in non-anaemic women.
