Women with a normal prepregnancy body mass index who adhere to gestational weight gain guidelines have a low risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes for full-term births.
Limited weight gain in obese pregnant women is associated with reduced maternal and neonatal comorbidities and differs by prepregnancy body mass index.
This large cohort study estimates optimal gestational weight gain for body mass index categories based on adverse maternal and fetal outcome.
Successful implementation of best practice intervention for prenatal smoking cessation is associated with the availability of resources, practice organization, and reimbursement.
Micro-dose transdermal 17{beta}-estradiol (0.014 mg/d) is statistically significantly more effective than placebo in relieving moderate and severe hot flushes, with a good complete responder rate.
The peripheral circulation is the limiting system in postmenopausal women experiencing exercise intolerance, and there are benefits to the introduction of hormone therapy.
The C(-1019) allele of the serotonin receptor 1A C(-1019)G polymorphism may contribute to the risk of premenstrual dysphoria.
Overall, oral contraceptive use has neither a harmful nor a beneficial effect on breast cancer mortality.
Overall risk of uterine rupture at term with a prior cesarean delivery is 0.3% but ranges from 0% to 0.74%, depending on mode of delivery.
Uterine scar thickness as assessed by ultrasonography is unaffected by type of uterine closure at primary cesarean delivery, but it does show significant changes during the first 6 weeks postpartum.
Women with one previous cesarean delivery for a multifetal gestation have a high likelihood of a successful trial of labor with low complication rates.
Women scheduled for labor induction report more coital activity when advised to have sex to promote labor, but the spontaneous labor rate does not increase.
Bladder emptying is exceptionally well maintained in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women who do not report significant urogynecologic symptoms.
Although digitized cervical images are often used to teach colposcopists, colposcopic evaluation using static images is poorly reproducible and might reflect similar problems in clinical practice.
The adnexal mass referral guidelines are relevant for identifying patients at risk for ovarian cancer, but early-stage cancers are more likely to be missed.
The risks of operative delivery, preterm delivery, and postpartum hemorrhage are increased in women with a history of cancer.
Health and neurodevelopmental outcome at 3 years of age is poor in children born as extremely preterm infants.
In utero exposure to 17 {alpha}-hydroxyprogesterone caproate seems to be safe for the fetus when administered in the second and third trimesters.
Manual rotation may reduce the rate of cesarean delivery in occiput posterior or transverse positions, but the success of the procedure depends on obstetric conditions.
Intraperitoneal transfusion is a valuable treatment in cases with early-onset Rh disease, ensuring that the fetus reaches a gestation when intravascular transfusions can safely start.
In vitro maturation is not associated with any additional obstetric risk or congenital abnormality compared with conventional in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
Clinician bias in fundal height measurement increases with use of a marked measuring tape, higher patient body mass index, and less provider experience.
Few obstetric residents intend to offer planned vaginal breech delivery once they become certified as specialists.
Prevention is the most effective evidence-based management to avoid recurrence of fetal growth restriction.
Menorrhagia in the setting of thrombocytopenia poses significant challenges for clinicians.
