OBJECTIVE: To assess the real-world effectiveness and safety of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared intrauterine vacuum-induced-hemorrhage control device for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) management. METHODS: Sixteen centers in the United States participated in this observational, postmarket registry medical record review (October 2020 through March 2022). The primary effectiveness outcome was treatment success, defined as bleeding control after insertion with no treatment escalation or bleeding recurrence...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether testing positive for human papillomavirus (HPV) before treatment is associated with cervical cancer recurrence and disease-free, cancer-specific, and overall survival and to report the relationship of HPV to cervical cancer histology, stage, grade, tumor size, lymph node involvement, and treatment response. DATA SOURCES: EMBASE and MEDLINE were searched from inception to January 27, 2022, with the use of MeSH terms and keywords relating to cervical cancer, HPV, and prognosis...

Cervical cancer screening has saved the lives of millions in regions where routine gynecologic care is readily accessible. As screening continues to evolve away from cervical cytology to primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, robust prospective cohort data have allowed for precise risk stratification and improved our ability to identify those at greatest risk of high-grade dysplasia and decrease unnecessary diagnostic procedures. New technologies such as p16/Ki-67 dual stain testing and HPV methylation panels, which offer comparable performance to co-testing and can be developed into high-throughput workflows, could lead to a fully molecular Pap test...

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in the United States. Although still rare, pregnancy in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) is becoming more common. Typical indications for the use of LVADs in reproductive-aged females include ischemic cardiomyopathy, nonischemic (familial) dilated cardiomyopathy, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and some forms of myocarditis. An LVAD drains blood through a cannula placed into the apex of the left ventricle and then returns it to the proximal aorta bypassing the aortic valve allowing hemodynamic support in parallel with the native circulation...

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a community-informed, language-concordant postpartum video education campaign, developed with community input, improves patients' knowledge of warning signs for postpartum maternal mortality (infection, hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, and postpartum depression) compared with routine discharge procedures. METHODS: A single-center, investigator-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial of postpartum individuals who delivered at a large, urban, tertiary care hospital...

Our retrospective cohort study evaluates the diagnostic yield of weekly laboratory surveillance in outpatient management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) based on patient clinical status at the time of laboratory testing. The study included 459 patients and 1,082 laboratory episodes: 356 (32.9%) episodes were performed in the setting of concerning clinical findings and 726 (67.1%) when the patient was asymptomatic. Overall, the diagnostic yield for abnormal laboratory values (n=11) was 1.0% (95% CI 0...

Neonates born at the cusp of viability are at particularly high risk of severe morbidity and mortality. With advances in medicine and technology, the ability to resuscitate smaller, more premature neonates has become possible, and survival as early as 21 weeks of gestation has been reported. Although administration of antenatal corticosteroids has been shown to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality at later gestational ages, neonates born before 24 weeks of gestation have not been included in randomized clinical trials...

Although it is tempting to construe the correlation between Black "race" and higher rates of preterm birth as causal, this logic is flawed. Worse, the continued use of Black "race" as a risk factor for preterm birth is actively harmful. Using Black "race" as a risk factor suggests a causal relationship that does not exist and, critically, obscures what actually causes Black patients to be more vulnerable to poorer maternal and infant outcomes: anti-Black racism. Failing to name anti-Black racism as the root cause of Black patients' vulnerability conceals key pathways and tempts us to construe Black "race" as immutably related to higher rates of preterm birth...

OBJECTIVE: To estimate racial and ethnic disparities in type 2 diabetes mellitus after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to investigate baseline pregnancy clinical and social or structural characteristics as mediators. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort of individuals with GDM using linked 2009-2011 New York City birth and hospital data and 2009-2017 New York City A1c Registry data. We ascertained GDM and pregnancy characteristics from birth and hospital records...

Though racial and ethnic disparities in sexual and reproductive health outcomes are receiving greater interest and research funding, the experiences of Asian American and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (NHPI) people are often combined with those of other racial and ethnic minority groups or excluded from data collection altogether. Such treatment is often rationalized because Asian American and NHPI groups comprise a smaller demographic proportion than other racial or ethnic groups, and the model minority stereotype assumes that these groups have minimal sexual and reproductive health needs...

Doulas are community perinatal professionals trained in pregnancy health, childbirth preparation, labor support, lactation counseling, and postnatal care. Doulas serve as patient advocates and provide laboring patients with continuous one-to-one support including informational, physical, and emotional support. Research shows that access to continuous labor support contributes to positive health outcomes such as increasing rates of spontaneous vaginal delivery, shorter labor, less need for analgesics, and increased satisfaction with the birthing process...

The Steering Committee for the Obstetrics & Gynecology special edition titled "Racism in Reproductive Health: Lighting a Path to Health Equity" formed a working group to create an equity rubric. The goal was to provide a tool to help researchers systematically center health equity as they conceptualize, design, analyze, interpret, and evaluate research in obstetrics and gynecology. This commentary reviews the rationale, iterative process, and literature guiding the creation of the equity rubric.

Racial inequities within gynecologic oncology exist at every step of the cancer continuum. Although the disparities have been well described, there is a significant gap in the literature focused on eliminating inequities in gynecologic cancer outcomes. The goal of this narrative review is to highlight successful, evidence-based interventions from within and outside of gynecologic oncology that alleviate disparity, providing a call to action for further research and implementation efforts within the field. These solutions are organized in the socioecologic framework, where multiple levels of influence-societal, community, organizational, interpersonal, and individual-affect health outcomes...
