Predictive value of alcohol use questionnaires for adverse pregnancy outcomes: Evidence from a Finnish birth cohort

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
In this large Finnish birth cohort, alcohol use defined by AUDIT‐based instruments before pregnancy was associated with higher odds of preterm birth and small for gestational age.

Episiotomy is associated with a reduced risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury in nulliparous vacuum‐assisted deliveries, particularly in high‐risk cases

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Mediolateral episiotomy during vacuum‐assisted delivery in nulliparous women was associated with lower obstetric anal sphincter injury (1.4% vs 2.8%; adjusted odds ratio 0.42, 95% CI 0.25–0.70). The protective effect was greater when intrapartum risk factors were present, including prolonged second stage, occiput posterior position, and birthweight ...

Pelvic floor symptoms and quality of life 1 year postpartum in Swedish primiparous women—A follow‐up of a randomized controlled trial

In this follow‐up of a randomized controlled trial including 1911 primiparous women with a vaginal birth, minor and major second‐degree tears were not associated with pelvic floor dysfunction 1 year postpartum. OASI was associated with colorectal–anal symptoms, whereas episiotomy was associated with vaginal symptoms affecting body image.

Priming of labor with tafoxiparin in nulliparous term pregnant women with unripe cervix—Proof‐of‐concept and dose‐finding results from a randomized controlled trial

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
This study shows that tafoxiparin 300 mg can increase the rate of cervical ripening and the likelihood of spontaneous onset of labor, while also reducing the duration of labor in women achieving spontaneous onset of labor. The favorable safety profile of tafoxiparin suggests suitability for routine clinical use, including home administration.
