Surgeons transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair: a prospective analysis of efficiency.
Hernia
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Baptist Health South Florida, Miami, FL, USA.
Background: Available reports of surgeon efficiency when transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic-assisted (RA) inguinal hernia repair (IHR) are retrospective or describe single-center experience. The purpose of this study is to provide a prospective, multi-surgeon, multi-center assessment of surgeon efficiency when transitioning from Lap-IHR to RA-IHR.
Methods: General surgeons with Lap-IHR experience (≥300 Lap-IHRs prior to the study) but with no robotic experience (no RA cases one year prior to the study) consented to participate in this prospective, observational pilot study of their surgical efficiency as they adopted RA-IHR.
Improving apgar scores and reducing perineal injuries through midwife-led quality improvements: an observational study in Uganda.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Department of Women's and Children's Health, Karolinska Institutet, Tomtebodavägen 18A, Stockholm, Solna, 171 77, Sweden.
Background: Globally, the quality of maternal and newborn care remains inadequate, as seen through indicators like perineal injuries and low Apgar scores. While midwifery practices have the potential to improve care quality and health outcomes, there is a lack of evidence on how midwife-led initiatives, particularly those aimed at improving the use of dynamic birth positions, intrapartum support, and perineal protection, affect these outcomes.
Objective: To explore how the use of dynamic birth positions, intrapartum support, and perineal protection impact the incidence of perineal injuries and the 5-min Apgar score within the context of a midwife-led quality improvement intervention.
Infants admitted to Danish neonatal units demonstrate satisfactory growth independent of feeding type at discharge.
Acta Paediatr
January 2025
Department of Clinical Research, Faculty of Health Science, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
Aim: The aim was to investigate feeding type at discharge; exclusively breastfeeding (EBF), mixed breastfeeding (MBF), and formula milk feeding (FMF), factors associated with feeding type, and changes in weight-for-age z-score (ΔWAZ) in infants admitted to Danish neonatal units.
Methods: Using data from the Danish National Quality Database for Births and the Danish Newborn Quality Database, we included 8639 mother-infant dyads admitted ≥5 days between February 2019 and December 2021. We used logistic regression to investigate associations between maternal and infant factors and feeding type, and descriptive statistics to describe ΔWAZ and feeding type at discharge.
Practices supporting cue-based breastfeeding of preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units across Europe.
Int Breastfeed J
January 2025
School of Health and Welfare, Dalarna University, Falun, Sweden.
Background: Emerging knowledge about supportive neurodevelopmental neonatal care shows the need for an individual approach to establish breastfeeding. However, evidence on how cue-based breastfeeding is supported in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is scarce. Therefore, the aim was to describe supporting practices for cue-based breastfeeding.

Skin-to-skin contact between the mother and baby during the first hour after birth has significant benefits for mother, newborn and breastfeeding. However, optimal implementation is highly variable. The 2023 International Guidelines on skin-to-skin contact in the first hour after birth place high confidence in the evidence that immediate, continuous, uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact should be routine for all mothers and all babies over 1000 g, regardless of mode of delivery.
