Management of preterm pre‐labor rupture of membranes between 24 and 34 weeks: A before‐and‐after study of the implementation and modifications of an outpatient management protocol

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 5, Page 896-903, May 2026.
In women with PPROM before 34 weeks, we compared outcomes before and after implementing an outpatient management protocol. Outpatient care was offered to one‐third of patients, did not affect latency or gestational age at delivery, and was associated with fewer early neonatal infections, supporting its safety in selected cases.

Role of vulvovaginal infection in women with short cervix: An observational clinical trial

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 173, Issue 1, Page 463-469, April 2026.
Abstract Objective Short cervix (SC) and vulvovaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vulvovaginal candidosis (VVC), are known risk factors for preterm birth (PTB). The objective of this study was to investigate whether the combined presence of SC and vulvovaginal infections further elevates the risk of PTB.
