Is pathological fetal Doppler cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) associated with adverse delivery outcomes in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction undergoing labor induction? A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 172, Issue 3, Page 1729-1734, March 2026.
Abstract Objective The optimal delivery approach for fetal growth restriction (FGR) with pathological cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) remains uncertain. This study evaluated the association between isolated pathological CPR (<5th percentile) and delivery outcomes, specifically the rate of cesarean delivery (CD) due to non‐reassuring fetal heart rate ...

Prostaglandin dose and time to fetal expulsion after intrauterine fetal death at 22 to 28 gestational weeks in Sweden: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 172, Issue 1, Page 444-450, January 2026.
Abstract Objective Prostaglandin regimens for induction of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) <28 gestational weeks (GW) are unstandardized. We aimed to describe prostaglandin regimens for induction after IUFD and assess association between dose and time to fetal expulsion.
