Clinical effectiveness of routine first ‐trimester combined screening for pre‐eclampsia in Spain with the addition of placental growth factor
ConclusionsRoutine first-trimester screening for pre-eclampsia with placental growth factor leads to a reduction in preterm pre-eclampsia and other pregnancy complications. Aspirin treatment compliance has a great impact on the effectiveness of this screening program. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Probability of second live birth after first natural and medically assisted reproduction ‐mediated live birth: A historical cohort study
ConclusionsIn our cohort, one woman out of 10 having a first MAR-mediated live birth underwent MAR programs again. Considering women who had a first natural live birth, this proportion was drastically reduced. In the field of MAR, more attention should be given to the capacity of a couple to achieve the number of desired children. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Fetal sex and the development of gestational diabetes mellitus in gravidae with multiple gestation pregnancies
ConclusionsWhile gestational diabetes mellitus is of multifactorial origin, we found a significant association between the fetal sex pairing and the treatment needed for gravidae with twins who develop gestational diabetes mellitus. A higher proportion of female –female twins was associated with gestational diabetes classification A2 compared with male–female or male–male deliveries. Further research on the physiology driving this association is warranted. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Amsterdam complex pelvic pain symptom scale with subscales: Based on a Norwegian translation, psychometric assessment and modification of the Amsterdam hyperactive pelvic floor scale
ConclusionsA modified Norwegian version ACPPS-30 was presented, in addition to a shorter version with only 16 of the translated items distributed among five factors similar to the original Dutch version (ACPPS-16). Both versions proved to be valid, stable and reliable tools to investigate complex pelvic pain symptoms possibly due to an abnormally high-toned pelvic floor muscle.

Factors in early pregnancy predicting pregnancy ‐related pain in the second and third trimester
ConclusionsWhen including physical risk factors, sociodemographic factors, psychological factors and clinical risk factors, women's experiences of pregnancy-related pain in the first trimester are the most important predictors for pain later in pregnancy. Beyond the expected positive effects of pregnancy-related pain, notably self-assessed fitness, age and parity were predictive for pain later in pregnancy.

Generalized joint hypermobility and the risk of pregnancy ‐related pelvic girdle pain: Is body mass index of importance?—A prospective cohort study
ConclusionsWomen with GJH did not have an increased risk of PGP during or after pregnancy but reported higher pain intensity in early pregnancy compared with women with normal joint mobility. Since women with combined GJH and BMI ≥25 kg/m2 had the highest odds of PGP in early pregnancy, our results may suggest that health care needs to pay attention to and develop methods to reduce the risk of PGP and delay the onset of pain during pregnancy in women with this combination.

Symptoms of complex pelvic pain: A survey in three cohorts of women
ConclusionMany women in our study reported complex pelvic pain, and overlap with other pain-related conditions, low mental health and past sexual assault was associated with high symptom burden. Those findings support taking a biopsychosocial approach to treating women who present with such complaints. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Pain, gastrointestinal function and fertility outcomes of modified nerve ‐vessel sparing segmental and full thickness discoid resection for deep colorectal endometriosis – A prospective cohort study
ConclusionsNVSSR and FTDR for symptomatic colorectal DE confer a significant amelioration of GI function reflected by decreased LARS symptoms and increased GIQLI scores with no differences in postsurgical function in between the two techniques. Both techniques confer similar complication rates and effects on pain reduction and health profiles. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)
