Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women diagnosed with endometriosis were investigated using data collected from the Korea National Health Insurance Claims Database and the National Health Screening Program for Infants and Children. A total of 3,778,561 women who gave birth between 2007 and 2015 were identified, and 1,938,424 primiparous women and their newborns were included in this study. Women with a diagnosis of endometriosis had a significantly higher incidence of multiple pregnancy, cesarean section, breech presentation, postpartum hemorrhage, placental abruption, placenta previa, and stillbirth than women without endometriosis (P < 0.0001). The rates of preterm birth and low birth weight were also increased in women with endometriosis (P < 0.0001). After adjusting for age, the estimated risks of these outcomes remained significant. Women previously diagnosed with endometriosis have an increased risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. Particular attention and information regarding these conditions should be provided to women with endometriosis during the preconception or antenatal periods.

Background: Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 35% are at increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) within the first months after a myocardial infarction (MI). The wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is an established, safe and effective solution which can protect patients from SCD during the first months after an MI, when the risk of SCD is at its peak. This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of WCD combined with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) compared to GDMT alone, after MI in the English National Health Service (NHS).

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with the combination of nivolumab (NIVO) and ipilimumab (IPI) showing promising results. However, not all patients benefit from these therapies, emphasizing the need for reliable, easily assessable biomarkers. This multicenter study involved 116 advanced RCC patients treated with NIVO + IPI across nine oncology centers in Poland.

Background: Missed clinic appointments disproportionately affect Medicaid-insured patients and residents of socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods. The role of the recent telemedicine expansion in reducing these disparities is unclear. We analyzed the relationship between census tract (CT) poverty level, residential segregation, missed appointments, and the role of telemedicine.

Babesia species (Piroplasmida) are hemoparasites that infect erythrocytes of mammals and birds and are mainly transmitted by hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae). These hemoparasites are known to be the second most common parasites infecting mammals, after trypanosomes, and some species may cause malaria-like disease in humans. Diagnosis and understanding of Babesia diversity increasingly rely on genetic data obtained through molecular techniques.
