Efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine for treatment of mild SARS ‐CoV‐2 infection and prevention of COVID‐19 severity in pregnant and postpartum women: A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial
ConclusionsHCQ was found to be safe in pregnant and postpartum women with asymptomatic or mild SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although the prevalence of infection was decreased in the HCQ group, the statistical power was insufficient to confirm the potential beneficial effect of HCQ for COVID-19 treatment.

Prevalence and determinants of perinatal mental disorders in women with gestational diabetes in New Zealand: Findings from a national longitudinal study
ConclusionsPerinatal mental disorders are common at time of diagnosis among women with gestational diabetes in New Zealand and had decreased by late pregnancy and at 6  months after birth. These disorders are more common among women with specific risk factors who may therefore benefit from additional support. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Methods of induction of labor in women with obesity: A secondary analysis of two multicenter randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsIn women with obesity we found a nonsignificant trend towards an increased rate of cesarean sections in the group induced with a Foley catheter compared to oral misoprostol; however, the study lacked power for this subgroup analysis. The finding of a higher risk of failed placement of a Foley catheter in women with obesity can be used in shared decision making. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Placental weight percentile curves in a Danish population
ConclusionsThese percentile curves may serve as a reference for other populations, and may be useful for other studies investigating the role of the placenta in relation to pregnancy outcomes, and health in later life. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Labor induction at 41+0 gestational weeks or expectant management for the nulliparous woman: The Finnish randomized controlled multicenter trial
ConclusionsOffering labor induction to nulliparous women at 41+0 gestational weeks may decrease the probability of operative delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, and neonatal weight ≥4000 g. However, this study was underpowered to affirm the trends of rising rates of CS and adverse neonatal outcomes in the expectant management group. Thus, expectant management could remain an option for some, as one in two women with expectant management had a spontaneous onset of labor. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Pelvic floor and sexual function 3  years after hysterectomy – A prospective cohort study
ConclusionsThree years after surgery robotic assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy, total laparoscopic hysterectomy and abdominal hysterectomy improve pelvic floor function to the same extent. Among the sexually active women, a decline of sexual function was seen after 3  years, not consistent with the entire cohort and independent of surgical methods. Whether this is a trend associated with aging or menopausal transition remains to be studied. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Gynecological cancer survivors' experiences with sexual health communication in nurse ‐led follow‐up consultations
ConclusionsWomen who have undergone treatment for gynecological cancer find communication with trained nurses regarding sexual health beneficial. We recommend integration of trained nurses in the follow-up team. The nurses should adjust communication according to each gynecological cancer survivor's unique understanding of sexuality and inform women with sexual health concerns at that end of treatment, that sexual health can improve during follow-up.

Prevention of obstetric anal sphincter injuries with perineal support and lateral episiotomy: A historical cohort study
ConclusionsWe observed a long-lasting reduction in OASIS rates after implementation of preventive procedures. Lateral episiotomy was associated with lower OASIS rates in nulliparous women with an instrumental delivery. Special attention should be paid to deliveries with persistent OP position.

Adrenal volumes in fetuses delivering prior to 32  weeks' gestation: An MRI pilot study
ConclusionsAdrenal: body volume ratios are significantly larger in fetuses who go on to deliver preterm than those delivering at term. Adrenal volumes were not significantly larger, we hypothesize that this could be due to an adrenal atrophy in fetuses with fulminating chorioamnionitis. A straightforward relationship of adrenal size being increased prior to preterm birth should not be assumed. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

ST waveform analysis vs cardiotocography alone for intrapartum fetal monitoring: An updated systematic review and meta ‐analysis of randomized trials
ConclusionsAbsolute effects of STAN were minor and the clinical significance of the observed reduction in metabolic acidosis is questioned. There is insufficient evidence to state that STAN as an adjunct to CTG leads to important clinical benefits compared with CTG alone. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)
