Obstetric Complications and Birth Outcomes After Antenatal Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Vaccination
CONCLUSION: Receipt of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy was not associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes; this information will be helpful for patients and clinicians when considering COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy.PMID:38626447 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005583 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Drug-Induced Liver Injury in Pregnancy: The U.S. Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network Experience
Obstet Gynecol. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005585. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are limited data on the causative agents and characteristics of drug-induced liver injury in pregnant individuals. Data from patients with drug-induced liver injury enrolled in the ongoing multicenter Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network between 2004 and 2022 and occurring during pregnancy or 6 months postpartum were reviewed and compared with cases of drug-induced liver injury in nonpregnant women of childbearing age. Among 325 individuals of childbearing age in the Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network, 16 cases of drug-induced l...

Syphilis Treatment Among People Who Are Pregnant in Six U.S. States, 2018-2021
CONCLUSION: In this surveillance cohort, people without timely prenatal care had the highest risk for syphilis treatment inadequacy; however, almost a third of people who received timely prenatal care were not adequately treated. These findings underscore gaps in syphilis screening and treatment for pregnant people, especially those experiencing substance use and homelessness, and the need for systems-based interventions, such as treatment outside of traditional prenatal care settings.PMID:38626449 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005586 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Neurologic Emergencies in Pregnancy
Obstet Gynecol. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005575. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurologic emergencies in pregnancy require prompt evaluation and early, focused intervention to improve neurologic outcomes for the affected person and to avoid further injury. Neurologic events in pregnancy, although rare, present a time of extreme risk of permanent injury for the person who is pregnant. Therefore, obstetric clinicians should be well versed in the risk factors for potential neurologic events and understand the symptoms and events that should prompt evaluation for a neurologic event. In addition, they should supp...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSingle institution-level studies have demonstrated low postpartum permanent contraception fulfillment rates after vaginal birth. To explore the national scope of the problem, we collected cross-sectional survey data from faculty at 109 U.S. academic medical centers to elicit perceptions about postpartum permanent contraception practices after vaginal birth, including barriers to and changes in practice after the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, a decision that eliminated the U.S. federal protection of the righ...

Pathophysiology and Clinical Implications of Ovarian Endometriomas
Obstet Gynecol. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005587. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOvarian endometriomas affect many patients with endometriosis and have significant effects on quality of life, fertility, and risk of malignancy. Endometriomas range from small (1-3 cm), densely fibrotic cysts to large (20 cm or greater) cysts with varying degrees of fibrosis. Endometriomas are hypothesized to form from endometriotic invasion or metaplasia of functional cysts or alternatively from ovarian surface endometriosis that bleeds into the ovarian cortex. Different mechanisms of endometrioma formation may help explain the ...

Trends in Reporting of Nuchal Translucency Measurements After the Clinical Introduction of Cell-Free DNA Screening
Obstet Gynecol. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005577. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNuchal translucency (NT) measurement in conjunction with serum analytes has been used for first-trimester aneuploidy screening in the United States since 2005. We sought to analyze the trends in reporting of NT measurements to the Nuchal Translucency Quality Review program in all pregnancies beginning after the clinical introduction of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening for fetal aneuploidy in 2011. Overall, reported NT measurements decreased 74.3% from 2012 to 2022. A similar decline was noted among individuals with pregnancies at i...
