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.

Developing a social vulnerability index for antenatal care screening of risk for adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Social determinants of health influence maternal and perinatal outcomes, yet tools to operationalize these risks in clinical care remain scarce. We aimed to study social determinants in Brazilian pregnant women and develop a social vulnerability index (SVI) that could correlate with pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.
