Opportunities for, and barriers to, uterus‐preserving surgical techniques for placenta accreta spectrum

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Placenta accreta spectrum is a serious condition that can be treated by different surgical strategies. Most IS‐PAS centers prefer hysterectomy over conservative techniques. However, especially focal resection might be equally effective for women who want to keep their uterus.

Effect of extra-amniotic Foley’s catheter and vaginal misoprostol versus vaginal misoprostol alone on cervical ripening and induction of labor in Kenya, a randomized controlled trial

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2018
Background The safest, most effective and fastest combined approaches to induction of labor is unknown. In an open-label randomized clinical trial we evaluated the efficacy of combination of extra-amniotic Foley’s catheter and vaginal misoprostol ...

Primiparous and multiparous women's birthing experiences and satisfaction with pain management in the first and second stages of vaginal delivery—A prospective cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Multiparous women were slightly more satisfied with their birthing experience than were primiparous women even though there was no difference in pain management satisfaction related to parity. Satisfaction with pain management during the second stage of labor significantly influences overall experience.

Targeted Smooth Bayesian Causal Forests: An analysis of heterogeneous treatment effects for simultaneous versus interval medical abortion regimens over gestation [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
We introduce Targeted Smooth Bayesian Causal Forests (tsBCF), a nonparametric Bayesian approach for estimating heterogeneous treatment effects which vary smoothly over a single covariate in the observational data setting. The tsBCF method induces smoothness by parameterizing terminal tree nodes with smooth functions, and allows for separate ...

Inpatient vaginal dinoprostone vs outpatient balloon catheters for cervical ripening in induction of labor: An individual participant data meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Cervical ripening in the induction of labor with outpatient balloon catheters is probably less effective than inpatient vaginal dinoprostone, specifically in maternal overweight and obesity during pregnancy. The perinatal and maternal safety profiles are comparable.
