Objective The objective of the study was to compare adverse event rates between laparoscopic vs open surgery for endometrial cancer. Study Design This was a retrospective cohort study comparing 107…
Objective We sought to evaluate whether beta-2 adrenoceptor (β 2 AR) genotype at a functional polymorphic site encoding for amino acid residue 16 influences rate of cervical dilatation in term…
Objective Seventeen-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPC) reduces recurrent preterm birth (PTB). We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human progesterone receptor (PGR) affect response to 17-OHPC in the prevention of recurrent…
Objective Preterm birth is classified by the presence of uterine contractions and/or amniorrhexis at clinical presentation. This classification does not include prior cervical change. We hypothesized that the rate of…
Objective We sought to examine the associations of maternal C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with fetal growth and the risks of neonatal complications. Study Design CRP levels were measured in early…
Objective We sought to evaluate gestational age, cervical length, amniotic fluid interleukin (IL)-6, and selected proteomic biomarkers as independent predictors of adverse outcome in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM)….
Objective The purpose of this study was to quantify the relationship between class of obesity and rate of failed induction of labor. Study Design Using the Ohio Department of Health’s…
Objective We sought to investigate whether placental infarction determined by macroscopic examination was associated with risk of cerebral palsy (CP). Study Design This was a population-based study of macroscopic placental…
Objective The purpose of this study was to detect the incidence, prevalence, and location of insulation failures (IFs) in laparoscopic and robotic instruments. Study Design In phase A, a total…
