Physicians' assessment of complications after gynecological surgery in Sweden: The GYNCOM survey
ConclusionsThis study provides validation for the methods used to register complications after gynecological surgery according to the GynOp register, including the use of Clavien-Dindo in gynecology. However, the results indicate a need to define what should be considered symptoms inherent to each type of surgery. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

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.

One ‐year follow up of contraceptive use and pregnancy rates after early medical abortion: Secondary outcomes from a randomized controlled trial of immediate post‐abortion placement of intrauterine devices
ConclusionsIUD placement after medical abortion led to high continuation and satisfaction rates with no difference between groups. We found no difference in IUD expulsions after immediate compared with later placement. Unprotected intercourse was significantly less common in the immediate group. In clinical practice, immediate placement of IUDs available free of charge at the abortion clinic is likely to increase attendance to the placement visit and continued use of IUDs after abortion.
