Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cerclage in women with previous late miscarriages or premature births. The primary aim was to prolong pregnancy and achieve a term delivery. Secondarily, it was investigated whether an intervention after an early pathological 75-g-oGTT result influences these endpoints.
Methods: A total of 133 cases were analyzed retrospectively. 80 women underwent primary cerclage between the 14th and 16th week of pregnancy; 53 women underwent secondary cerclage after cervical shortening of less than 25 mm. This group was further subdivided into therapeutic and emergency cerclage groups. Women with early pathologic 75-g-oGTT were treated diabetologically.
Results: Primary cerclage prolonged pregnancy by 20.6 weeks and led to a term delivery in 51 women (63.8%). In the group with secondary cerclage, 25 women (47.2%) had a term delivery with a prolongation of 20.1 weeks. For amniotic sac prolapse, the prolongation was 7.9 weeks. Pathological 75-g-oGTT results were found in 63 women. Early intervention had no significant effect on prolongation and term delivery.
Conclusion: Primary cerclage was more effective in achieving term delivery. Women with therapeutic cerclage without amniotic sac prolapse also benefited. With cervical shortening without prolapse, the prolongation was the same in both groups. The worst outcome was observed in emergency cerclage with amniotic sac prolapse. An early 75-g-oGTT is important in order to recognize and treat gestational diabetes in time.

Goal: While studies have examined quality and health outcomes related to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS's) Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (HVBP) Program, a significant gap exists in the literature regarding the relationship between pay-for-performance initiatives and hospital financial performance in the program's Efficiency and Cost Reduction domain. This study examined the association between hospitals' cost inefficiency and participation in the HVBP Program by estimating the probability and magnitude of improvement or achievement in the program's Efficiency and Cost Reduction domain.
Methods: The 2014-2019 Efficiency and Cost Reduction domain data were obtained from CMS and merged with the American Hospital Association's Annual Survey Database.

Background: Preeclampsia is a severe, multisystem complication that affects 2%-5% of pregnancies, and is a leading cause of fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Preeclampsia may have devastating results on maternal health and may affect offspring's immediate and long-term health. Previous studies have examined the impact of maternal preeclampsia on the long-term health outcomes of offspring, many of these studies have been limited by confounding factors that could bias the results.

Aims: To assess the efficacy and safety of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems compared to standard care in managing glycaemic control during pregnancy in women with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM).
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, registries and conference abstracts up to June 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing AID to standard care in pregnant women with T1DM. We conducted random effects meta-analyses for % of 24-h time in range of 63-140 mg/dL (TIR), time in hyperglycaemia (> 140 mg/dl and > 180 mg/dL), hypoglycaemia (< 63 mg/dl and < 54 mg/dL), total insulin dose (units/kg/day), glycemic variability (%), changes in HbA1c (%), maternal and fetal outcomes.

This narrative review examines the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in organ retrieval and transplantation. AI and ML technologies enhance donor-recipient matching by integrating and analyzing complex datasets encompassing clinical, genetic, and demographic information, leading to more precise organ allocation and improved transplant success rates. In surgical planning, AI-driven image analysis automates organ segmentation, identifies critical anatomical features, and predicts surgical outcomes, aiding pre-operative planning and reducing intraoperative risks.
