Mothers' and caregivers' experiences of COVID-19 restrictions during postpartum hospitalisation: a cross-sectional survey in France.

Background: Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 highlighting the importance of social distancing guidelines. Following a series of lockdowns and the widespread vaccination of the European population, many countries began to lift these restrictions. During this period, while some parents yearned for emotional support and family presence, others found that the solitude facilitated by the restrictions was beneficial for bonding and breastfeeding.

The challenge of adopting a collaborative information system for independent healthcare workers in France: a comprehensive study.

This study aimed to explore the perception of an underutilised collaborative information system through qualitative research, utilizing semi-structured, in-depth interviews with independent midwives and physician. PROSPERO, is a collaborative information system designed to bridge the communication gap between community-based healthcare workers and hospital-based care teams for parturients in Lyon, France. Through 27 semi-structured in-depth interviews with midwives, obstetricians, and general practitioners, we identified key themes related to the system's adoption: implementation challenges, utilisation barriers, interprofessional dynamics, and hidden variables affecting system use.

Impact of body mass index on sonographic measurement of head perineum distance before operative vaginal delivery.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on sonographic measurement of head perineum distance (HPD) before operative vaginal delivery (OVD).

Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study (Lille, France) conducted from March 1, 2019 to October 31, 2020 including all singleton and OVD. HPD measurement was systematically performed without and with compression on the perineum soft tissues.

Screening preterm-born infants for autistic traits may help to identify social communication difficulties at five years of age.

Aim: This study compared neurodevelopmental screening questionnaires completed when preterm-born children reached 2 years of corrected age with social communication skills at 5.5 years of age.

Methods: Eligible subjects were born in 2011 at 24-34 weeks of gestation, participated in a French population-based epidemiological study and were free of motor and sensory impairment at 2 years of corrected age.

Neurodevelopment at age 5.5 years according to Ages & Stages Questionnaire at 2 years' corrected age in children born preterm: the EPIPAGE-2 cohort study.

Objective: To report neurodevelopment at age 5.5 years according to developmental delay screening with the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) in late infancy in preterm-born children.

Design: Population-based cohort study, EPIPAGE-2.

Clinical Chorioamnionitis and Neurodevelopment at 5 Years of Age in Children Born Preterm: The EPIPAGE-2 Cohort Study.

Objective: To assess the association between clinical chorioamnionitis and neurodevelopmental disorders at 5 years of age in children born preterm.

Study Design: EPIPAGE 2 is a national, population-based cohort study of children born before 35 weeks of gestation in France in 2011. We included infants born alive between 24 and 34 weeks after preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes.

Doxapram for apnoea of prematurity and neurodevelopmental outcomes at age 5-6 years.

Objective: To assess the long-term neurodevelopmental impact of doxapram for treating apnoea of prematurity.

Design: Secondary analysis of the French national cohort study EPIPAGE-2. Recruitment took place in 2011.

Tocolysis after preterm prelabor rupture of membranes and 5-year outcomes: a population-based cohort study.

Background: The administration of tocolytics after preterm prelabor rupture of membranes remains a controversial practice. In theory, reducing uterine contractility should delay delivery and allow for optimal antenatal management, thereby reducing the risks for prematurity and adverse consequences over the life course. However, tocolysis may be associated with neonatal death or long-term adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, mainly related to prolonged fetal exposure to intrauterine infection or inflammation.

ESMO Expert Consensus Statements on the management of breast cancer during pregnancy (PrBC).

The management of breast cancer during pregnancy (PrBC) is a relatively rare indication and an area where no or little evidence is available since randomized controlled trials cannot be conducted. In general, advances related to breast cancer (BC) treatment outside pregnancy cannot always be translated to PrBC, because both the interests of the mother and of the unborn should be considered. Evidence remains limited and/or conflicting in some specific areas where the optimal approach remains controversial.

Circumstances, causes and timing of death in extremely preterm infants admitted to NICU: The EPIPAGE-2 study.

Aim: To describe the circumstances, causes and timing of death in extremely preterm infants.

Methods: We included from the EPIPAGE-2 study infants born at 24-26 weeks in 2011 admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Vital status and circumstances of death were used to define three groups of infants: alive at discharge, death with or without withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment (WWLST).

Impact of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) on sexual function in women with advanced stages of pelvic organ prolapse (POP): A five-year prospective study.

Objective: To compare patients undergoing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), in terms of sexual function and surgical anatomical outcomes more than 5-years follow up period.

Study Design: This is a cohort study of prospectively collected data that includes all women who underwent LSC between July 2005 and December 2021 at a tertiary care center. A total of 228 women were enrolled in this study.

Proposal for a shared definition of « primary healthcare » by health professionals: A national cross-sectional survey.

Introduction: Forty years passed between the two most important definitions of primary health care from Alma Alta Conference in 1978 to WHO's definition in 2018. Since then, reforms of healthcare systems, changes in ambulatory sector and COVID 19, have created a need for reinterpretations and redefinition of primary healthcare. The primary objective of the study was to precise the definitions and the representations of primary healthcare by healthcare professionals.

Barrier measures implemented in French maternity hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional survey.

Objectives: The objectives of this survey were 1) to describe the changes over time of barrier measures in maternity units, specifically, co-parent visits and women wearing masks in birth rooms, and 2) to identify potential institutional determinants of these barrier measures.

Design: We used an online questionnaire to conduct a descriptive cross-sectional survey from May to July 2021.

Setting: All districts in mainland France.

Cochlear implantation and facial nerve anastomosis to rehabilitate a burnt middle ear.

A 48-year-old man presented to the ENT department of a general hospital after a traumatic event that occurred at work. During arc welding, an incandescent metallic projectile entered the left external auditory canal immediately causing earache, tinnitus, hearing loss, vertigo, and completed peripheral facial palsy on the left side. A burnt middle ear is a rare situation for which very few cases are described in the literature.

Early skin-to-skin contact and risk of late-onset-sepsis in very and extremely preterm infants.

Background: To evaluate the association between exposure to early skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and incidence of late-onset sepsis (LOS) in extremely and very preterm infants.

Methods: Observational study using the national population-based EPIPAGE-2 cohort in 2011. A propensity score for SSC exposure was used to match infants with and without exposure to SSC before day 4 of life and binomial log regression used to estimate risk ratios and CIs in the matched cohort.

Comparative satisfaction and effectiveness of virtual simulation and usual supervised work for postpartum hemorrhage management: a crossover randomized controlled trial.

Background: Because virtual simulation promotes learning and cognitive skill development, it may be useful for teaching students to manage postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and its complex decision algorithm.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the satisfaction and effectiveness of virtual simulation with usual supervised work in producing knowledge and satisfaction.

Methods: This two-center two-stage crossover randomized controlled trial included student midwives.
