The article below summarizes a roundtable discussion of a study published in this issue of the Journal in light of its methodology, relevance to practice, and implications for future research….
Objective The objective was to determine the rate of neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) among women with vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC) and to compare the peripartum characteristics with…
Objective This study was conducted to determine whether fetal position at the time of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) diagnosis affects outcomes. Study Design A retrospective study was designed…
Objective We sought to evaluate risk factors and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated with placenta accreta and to study perinatal outcomes in subsequent pregnancies. Study Design A retrospective study comparing…
Objective The purpose of this study was to estimate the impact of interpregnancy weight change from first to second pregnancies in obese women on the risk of large-for-gestational-age (LGA) and…
Objective Prior studies have reported increased risks of congenital heart defects (CHD) and pyloric stenosis (PS) after prenatal exposure to macrolide antibiotics. We sought to assess the association between maternal…
Objective Maternal infection or inflammation may induce fetal inflammatory responses associated with fetal injury and cerebral palsy. We sought to assess the inflammation-associated neuroprotective potential of prophylactic N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC). We…
Objective We previously demonstrated that maternal and fetal genotypes are associated independently with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. The objective of the current study was to determine the impact of maternal…
Objective The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy and outcomes of 2 vs 1 stitch at the time of cervical cerclage placement for preterm birth prevention. Study…
Objective To compare the risk of fetal death (FD) between 34 and 41 weeks’ gestational age (GA) with the neonatal mortality rate to examine the best GA for delivery. Study…
