104. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Mental Health Co-Morbidities in Adolescents
Mental health disorders (MHDs) have been associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but few studies have focused on the interplay between PCOS treatment modalities and MHDs in adolescents. This cohort study explored the prevalence of MHDs, the effect of hormonal treatment (HT) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VitD) supplements on MHDs, biochemical characteristics of PCOS, and ultrasonographic measurements.

105. Postpartum Contraception Access and Adherence in a Texas Adolescent Population Following the Dobbs Decision
In June 2022 Roe v Wade was overturned in the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization decision and abortion was banned after 6 weeks in Texas. Adolescents have a high rate of unintended pregnancy and are less likely to use contraception, and according to CDC data, Texas has the ninth highest teenage birth rate in the United States. The purpose of this study is to examine how this decision has affected access and adherence to postpartum contraception in an adolescent postpartum population at a large safety net academic center in Texas.

106. Practice Patterns in Pubertal Hormone Induction
This study aimed to assess patterns of puberty induction by analyzing final adult height, time to maintenance estrogen dose, and time to menarche. The secondary aims were to compare outcomes based on age of initiation, as well as underlying POI diagnosis (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

107. Predicting the vaginal reconstruction approach in patients undergoing cloacal reconstruction
Cloacal anomalies are the most complex of anorectal malformations, and before reconstruction, the existing anatomy must be defined. This is typically done by endoscopy and radiology. Inadequate vaginal length can lead to a vaginoplasty done under tension, and would thus require an augmentation of vaginal tissue, adding complexity to the surgery. Some have advocated for a delayed vaginoplasty, particularly in patients where a tension-free native vaginoplasty is not possible, however often the vagina must be mobilized to isolate the urethra and urinary system.

108. Prevalence of bleeding disorders in adolescents presenting with heavy menstrual bleeding and anemia
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is one of the most common gynecologic disorders among adolescents. While anovulatory bleeding (AB) is usually the underlying cause, a previously undiagnosed bleeding disorder (BD) can also may also lead to such bleeding. It has been reported that approximately 20% of adolescents with HMB and up to 33% of girls hospitalized for HMB may have BD. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of BD in a population of adolescents who were evaluated for HMB and whose hemoglobin values were 12 and below (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

109. Primary Care Referrals for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding in Adolescents: A Retrospective Chart Review
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is excessive menstrual blood loss that interferes with physical, social, emotional, or material quality of life. Several organizations, including NASPAG, have algorithms to guide initial investigations and management. We aim to evaluate the extent to which primary care providers (PCP) initiate first-tier guideline investigations and management prior to specialist referral.

112. Racial Differences in the Diagnosis of Juvenile Vulvar Lichen Sclerosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Juvenile anogenital lichen sclerosus (JVLS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition diagnosed visually by identifying skin changes including white patches, shiny and wrinkled skin, fissures and/or petechiae. Recent years have seen increasing recognition of the underrepresentation of skin of color in medical training and dermatology textbooks. Whether this gap in racially comprehensive dermatologic training resources is associated with disparities in the diagnosis of JVLS in people of color remains unknown.

113. Rare mutant-type DICER 1 embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma following precocious puberty and voice deepening: associations or red herrings?
DICER 1 mutant-type embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) is rare. It has been recently proposed as a unique subset of DICER 1 rhabdomyosarcomas, which commonly present as soft tissue malignancies in children. These tumor mutations can be associated with germline DICER 1 syndrome. There is a known association with this syndrome and androgenizing ovarian tumors.

114. Rates of reinfection for Chlamydia trachomatis in adolescents and young adults: an assessment following the CDC STI Treatment Guidelines in 2021
In 2021, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) revised the treatment recommendation for chlamydia trachomatis from single dose azithromycin to a 7-day course of doxycycline. Given the high risk of chlamydia infection in adolescents and young adults (AYA), this study evaluated reinfection rates before and after the change in CDC treatment guidelines.

116. Rectal-labial fistula presenting as persistent labial abscess in a 7 week old infant
Pediatric and adolescent gynecologists are frequently consulted for management of labial abscesses in children. Though labial abscesses often resolve with incision and drainage (I&D) and antibiotics, the persistence or recurrence of a labial abscess in an infant warrants consideration of underlying anatomic or immunologic causes.
