Physiological cardiotocography interpretation and neonatal morbidity: A historical pre–post cohort study in a tertiary perinatal center

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
In this historical pre–post cohort study, the implementation of physiological cardiotocography (PCI) interpretation was associated with reduced neonatal morbidity, neonatal acidosis, and neonatal unit admission. Adjusted cesarean section rates did not increase, supporting PCI as a promising approach to intrapartum fetal surveillance.

Can universal cervical length screening with vaginal progesterone for a short cervix reduce preterm birth? A systematic review and meta‐analyses

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Preterm birth is associated with substantial neonatal morbidity and mortality. We evaluated whether universal cervical length screening with ultrasound, followed by progesterone therapy for women with a short cervix, has the potential to reduce the incidence of preterm birth.

Narrative Review on Therapies That Influence Inflammatory Responses During Extremely Premature Perinatal Respiratory Transition

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims and Methods Advances in neonatal care have extended borderline survival to 22–24 post‐conceptional weeks. Present review discusses approaches for prolonging short pregnancies and prevention of serious morbidities in extremely premature infants born before 28 weeks of pregnancy.
