Cerclage plus Adjuvant Vaginal Progesterone for Preterm Birth Prevention in Patients with a Short or Dilated Cervix without Prior Preterm Birth
Conclusion While not statistically significant, the risk of sPTB was lower at all gestational ages studied in patients treated with dual therapy compared with monotherapy. Dual therapy was associated with longer pregnancy latency and greater gestational age at delivery compared with monotherapy.

The Impact on Birth Outcomes of Sonographic Fetal Weight Estimation in Neonatal Macrosomia
Conclusion Larger EFW increased CD risk among pregnancies with actual neonatal macrosomia. Antenatally suspected macrosomia might alter labor management due to concerns for potential complications, especially when associated with primiparity, diabetes mellitus, or maternal obesity. The increase in the CD rate did not show an association with improved maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Identifying ChatGPT-written Patient Education Materials Using Text Analysis and Readability
Conclusion As ChatGPT is more widely integrated into medicine, it will be important for health care stakeholders to have tools to separate originally written documents from those generated by AI. While more robust analyses may be required to determine the authenticity of articles written by complex AI technology in the future, simple grammatical analysis can accurately characterize current AI-generated texts with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.

A Prospective Study of Lactate Levels in Uncomplicated Spontaneous and Induced Labor
Conclusion Lactate levels increase significantly once a patient reaches complete cervical dilation within 30 minutes of pushing. This increase is more pronounced, although significantly, in patients with chorioamnionitis. As sepsis is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, this pilot study is relevant for providers to see the natural course of lactate levels in labor.

The Diagnostic Yield of Chromosomal Microarray Analysis in Third-Trimester Fetal Abnormalities
Conclusion The 6.2% detection rate of significant CNVs in late-onset fetal anomalies confirms the value of CMA in third-trimester amniocentesis. The findings underscore the necessity of CMA for detecting CNVs potentially overlooked by NIPT and emphasize the importance of thorough genetic counseling.

Periviable Premature Rupture of Membranes —Maternal and Neonatal Risks: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusion Women who undergo expectant management following periviable rupture of membranes experience significantly increased risks of sepsis, chorioamnionitis, and laparotomy. Overall, 39% of neonates survive to discharge. Knowledge of these risks is critical to counseling patients with this diagnosis.

Clinical and Growth Correlates of Retinopathy of Prematurity in Preterm Infants with Surgical Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Intestinal Perforation
Conclusion Infants who develop severe ROP following surgical NEC/SIP are likely to be younger, smaller, have been exposed to more O2, develop AKI, and grow poorly compared with those did not develop severe ROP.

Association between SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Adverse Perinatal Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity in a Large Integrated Health Care System
Conclusion The findings highlight racial/ethnic disparities in the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and adverse perinatal outcomes. The risk of neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection was highest for Asian/Pacific Islanders. We also observed a remarkably high risk of ICU admission for non-Hispanic White mothers infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Risk of Postpartum Hemorrhage in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: Stratified by Severity
Conclusion CMHO was higher among those with HDP. After stratification, only those with preeclampsia with severe features had an increased risk of CMHO. Among individuals with HDP, those who also had a PPH had worse neonatal outcomes than those without hemorrhage.
