Objective: To identify the key risk factors contributing to re-hospitalization after term cesarean delivery (CD).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included women who underwent CD at term at a university-affiliated tertiary medical center (January 2021 to March 2023). The primary outcome was risk factors for re-hospitalization within 30 days post-discharge. Data on selected maternal demographic, pregnancy-related and delivery variables were extracted from electronic medical records. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify independent risk factors for re-hospitalization. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for various independent risk factors.
Results: A total of 2878 women were included in the study, of whom 76 required re-hospitalization (2.6%). The rates of high-risk pregnancies were more prevalent among those who were re-hospitalized (41 [62.1%] vs. 1148 [49.1%], P = 0.043). Furthermore, the rates of emergency CDs (42 [56%] vs. 1040 [37.8%], P = 0.001), prolonged surgery duration (17 [22.4%] vs. 292 [10.4%], P = 0.001) and hospitalization duration (14 (18.4%) vs. 273 (9.7%), P = 0.015) were significantly higher in the re-hospitalized group. Emergency CD (OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.06-3.42, P = 0.030) and prolonged surgery duration (OR 2.44, 95% CI 1.25-4.77, P = 0.016) remained significant risk factors of re-hospitalization in the multivariate analysis.
Conclusions: The need for emergency CD and prolonged surgery duration were found as independent risk factors for re-hospitalization after CD at term.

Clinical Perspectives on the Pathophysiology of Facial Synkinesis: A Narrative Review.
JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

Department of Plastic Surgery, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas.
Importance: Facial synkinesis refers to pathologic cocontraction and baseline hypertonicity of muscles innervated by the facial nerve, commonly attributed to the aberrant regeneration of nerve fibers following injury. The pathomechanism and optimal treatment of facial synkinesis remain unclear. The goal of this review is to highlight current understanding of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, assessment, and treatment of facial synkinesis.

Background: Loss to follow-up to HIV care following delivery puts birthing parents with HIV at higher risk of loss of viral suppression, disease progression, and HIV partner transmission. This study assessed factors associated with retention in postpartum HIV care.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study at a single academic medical center and included patients followed from January 2014 to December 2022.

Background: Data on tuberculosis (TB) incidence and risk factors among children living with HIV (CLHIV) in the universal ART era are limited.
Methods: We analysed routinely-collected data on TB diagnoses for CLHIV age ≤5 years, born 2018-2022, in the Westen Cape, South Africa. We examined factors associated with TB diagnosis, with death and loss to follow-up as competing events.
