Optimal timing for induction of labor in normotensive women: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 365-371, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Labor induction is offered to reduce the risk of stillbirth at late term (41+0 to 41+6) but earlier induction in normotensive singleton pregnancies is supported by weak evidence. The aim of the present study was to investigate the optimal timing for induction in normotensive women.

The rising tide: Trends in induction of labor at term over a 5‐year period at a single centre

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 383-390, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Induction of labor (IOL) is a controversial topic in contemporary obstetric practice, with some suggesting that the increase in elective induction (eIOL) as a potential contributor to increasing cesarean delivery (CD) rates. The objectives of this single‐center study were to examine the rates of IOL, trends in indications for IOL ...

Maternal overweight and obesity during pregnancy and sex‐dependent dysregulation of the materno‐fetal stress axis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Maternal obesity and excess gestational weight gain (GWG) are linked to adverse perinatal outcomes, potentially via disruption of the maternal–fetal stress axis. Placental HSD11B2 protects the fetus from excess glucocorticoids and may influence fetal programming during maternal metabolic stress.

Association between maternal pre‐pregnancy body mass index and maternal and neonatal outcomes in Saudi Arabia: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) of the mother before pregnancy and the growth of weight during pregnancy are both important perinatal health determinants. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between the maternal BMI and obstetric and ...
