Implementation of Evidence-Based Cervical Ripening Protocol: Outcomes and Next Steps
Conclusion Implementing evidence-based low-dose misoprostol with the concurrent cervical Foley did not change the time to delivery, time to vaginal-delivery, or likelihood of vaginal delivery in our population. This may be due to differences in labor management practices and incomplete fidelity to the protocol. Real-world effectiveness of these interventions will vary and should be considered when choosing an induction method.

Neonatal Survivability following Previable PPROM after Hospital Readmission for Intervention
Conclusion Neonatal survival rate following pPPROM was 28.3%. Later gestational age at membrane rupture and increased latency periods are associated with increased neonatal survivability. Antibiotic administration following pPPROM increased latency duration.

California Cardiovascular Screening Tool: Findings from Initial Implementation
Conclusion This is the first data describing the performance of the CVD screening algorithm in a general obstetric population. Factors, such as proportion of African American women affect the likelihood of a positive screen. The screening algorithm highlights patients at higher lifetime risk of CVD and may identify a group that could be targeted for more direct care transitions postpartum. Data may be used to design a larger validation study.

Sirolimus for Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma and Kasabach-Merritt Phenomenon in a Neonate
We present a case of a neonate born with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE), complicated by Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) and other serious conditions, who was successfully treated with sirolimus. In addition to complications from thrombocytopenia and fluid overload, during the course of therapy, our patient experienced supratherapeutic drug levels at the commonly accepted starting dose of sirolimus. Patients with KHE and KMP should be closely monitored for potential complications of both the initial disease and unexpected side effects of treatments.

Fetal Tachycardia in the Delivery Room: Fetal Distress, Supraventricular Tachycardia, or Both?
Conclusion SVT should be actively considered in the differential diagnosis of fetal tachycardia. Unrecognized fetal SVT may result in avoidable caesarean for suspected fetal distress, with potential prematurity-related problems. The cardiotocograph can be helpful if showing contact loss associated with rapid heart rate auscultation. The antenatal detection of fetal SVT is important as it can allow anticipation and prevention of neonatal SVT, which is potentially life-threatening if not detected and treated promptly.

Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes by Degree of Maternal Serum Analyte Elevation: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusions In euploid, structurally normal fetuses, all analyte elevations > 2.5 MoM confer an increased risk of PTB and, except for uE3, obstetric complication, and risks for each are not uniformly linear. These data can help guide patient counseling and antenatal management.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Attenuate Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammatory Response in Human Uterine Smooth Muscle Cells
Conclusion MSCs appear to play a role in significantly attenuating LPS-mediated inflammation via alteration of down-stream MAPKs. MSCs may represent a novel, cell-based therapy in women with increased risk of inflammatory-mediated preterm birth.

Correlation of Obesity with External Cephalic Version Success among Women with One Previous Cesarean Delivery
Conclusion There was no correlation of BMI with the rate of successful ECV among women with one prior cesarean delivery. Given the similar success rates of ECV and adverse outcomes, obese women with one prior cesarean delivery should be offered ECV.

Establishing Better Evidence on Remote Monitoring for Postpartum Hypertension: A Silver Lining of the Coronavirus Pandemic
AJP Rep 2020; 10: e315-e318 DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1715169The transformation of our health care system in response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) provides a unique opportunity to examine the use of telehealth for postpartum care. The postpartum period can pose significant risks and challenges, particularly for women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Remote blood pressure monitoring has proven feasible and acceptable among women and providers but has not been widely implemented or researched. Early studies have identified improved outcomes with use of telehealth, including increased compliance with care and dec...
