Patient Perspectives on Outpatient versus Inpatient Cervical Ripening for Induction of Labor
Conclusion Outpatient cervical ripening can be a patient-centered solution to obstetric throughput challenges arising from increased numbers of inductions. Those who underwent outpatient cervical ripening had similar perceived control to those who underwent inpatient cervical ripening, suggesting that individual patient preferences are most important in determining the optimal setting for care. The patients' reported experiences identified focus areas for process improvement efforts and future research, including improving patient education regarding expectations and innovating new pain management strategies for cervical...

Factors Associated with Maternal Morbidity among Black Women in the United States
Conclusion The three factors most associated with SMM among NHBP are potentially avoidable or modifiable by aggressive screening, prevention, and treatment of preeclampsia and preterm birth as well as reducing cesarean rates in this population.

Prenatal Exposure to Acid Suppressor Medications and Development of Ductus Arteriosus in Term Newborns
Conclusion PDA incidence in term infants in our population was greater than previously reported. PPI and H2RA are both antiacids with different mechanisms of action. The similar OR for exposure to one as well as the other, and the lack of influence of the initial exposure period, are compatible with bias.

Characteristics Associated with Trial of Labor among Patients with Twin Pregnancies
Conclusion In this cohort of twin gestations with a high frequency of TOL, patient and provider characteristics are associated with attempting vaginal delivery. Variation in provider practices suggests differing skills and comfort with twin vaginal delivery may influence route of delivery decision-making in patients with twins.

Postpartum Outcomes in Patients Receiving Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis during Antepartum Admission
Conclusion In this small cohort study, increased wound hematomas were found in those who received inpatient antepartum AC prophylaxis with no difference in VTE occurrence. While adverse events were increased in the inpatient AC group, this was mostly associated with PP AC prophylaxis. Larger studies should be conducted to describe the true benefits and risks of antepartum AC prophylaxis and determine efficacy of this widely used practice.

Predictors of Breastfeeding among Women Admitted with Severe Preeclampsia Before 34 Weeks
Conclusion Among patients with early sPREX, tobacco use in pregnancy was associated with noninitiation of BF at discharge, whereas young maternal age and maternal morbidity were associated with cessation of BF by routine PP visit. Further research is needed on how to support BF in this population, especially among patients with these associated factors.

Reevaluating Associations between Prenatal Care Utilization and Current Trends in Preterm Birth
Conclusion Despite an increase in adequate PNC, there was a rise in PTB associated with inadequate and suboptimal PNC. PNC utilization was a stronger risk factor in recent years with higher PTB in patients who attended more than five PNC visits.
