Health Care Utilization by Patients With Chronic Pelvic Pain
CONCLUSION: Patients with chronic pelvic pain have higher rates of chronic overlapping pain conditions and undergo more ED visits, imaging tests, and hysterectomies than patients without chronic pelvic pain. Improving access to multidisciplinary care, increasing utilization of interventions such as PT and psychological or behavioral therapy, and reducing ED utilization may be possible targets to help reduce overall health care costs and improve patient care.PMID:38696811 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005595 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Surgical Field Separation in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Obstet Gynecol. 2024 May 2. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005596. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe aimed to study whether separating the vaginal and abdominal surgical fields during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is associated with surgical site infection rates. This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent TLH and any concomitant procedures with two minimally invasive gynecologic surgery subspecialists between January 2016 and May 2023. Among 680 included patients, the rate of infection was 0.8% with surgical field separation and 1.3% without (3/377 vs 4/303; odds ratio 0.60, 95% CI, 0.13-2.70). ...

Assessment of a Decade of Change in U.S. Assisted Reproductive Technology Cumulative Live-Birth Rates: 2004-2009 Compared With 2014-2020
CONCLUSION: This analysis provides insights into the changing landscape of ART treatments in the United States over the past two decades. The observed shifts in demographics, clinical practices, and technology highlight the dynamic nature of an evolving field of reproductive medicine. These findings may offer insight for clinicians to consider in counseling patients and to inform future research endeavors in the field of ART.PMID:38696814 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005598 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Regenerative Medicine in Gynecology
The objective of regenerative gynecology is to discover and promote endogenous mechanisms by which a healthy tissue maintains overall tissue integrity after injury, after disease, or with age. In this review, we discuss some of the key state-of-the-art cell-based and scaffolding therapies that have been applied to regenerate gynecologic tissues and organs primarily in animal and tissue culture models. We further discuss the limitations of current technologies, problems of implementation and scalability, and future outlook of the field.PMID:38663014 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005590 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Evaluation of Sleep in Pregnant Inpatients Compared With Outpatients
CONCLUSION: Hospitalized pregnant patients slept about 1 hour/day less than outpatients. Fewer awakenings and reduced wakefulness after sleep onset among inpatients may reflect increased use of sleep aids in hospitalized patients.PMID:38663016 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005591 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)
