Association of Medicaid Expansion With Postpartum Depression Treatment in Arkansas
Approximately 1 in 8 individuals experience postpartum depression in the United States. Among them, 17% had their care covered by Medicaid and 10% had their care covered by a commercial payer. Postpartum depression is also more common among American Indian/Alaska Native (22%), Asian/Pacific Islander (19%), and Black (18%) individuals than White individuals (11%). Adverse postpartum health outcomes include reduced maternal quality of life, greater difficulty with social and partner relationships, increased odds of unemployment, and adverse child health outcomes. Effective treatments for postpartum depression include antidep...

The Association Between the Number of Vacuum Pop-Offs and Adverse Neonatal Outcomes
Vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery (VAVD) is used to expedite vaginal delivery in cases of an arrest of descent, maternal exhaustion, or concern for fetal well-being. In 2015, the rate of VAVD was greater than the use of forceps in the United States (2.58% vs 0.56%). Several studies have examined various characteristics of vacuum devices, such as cup shape and material, number of pulls, and number of pop-ups, which is defined as the spontaneous dislodgment of the cup from the fetal scalp. Vacuum manufacturers, such as Kiwi and Mityvac, recommend abandoning VAVD as an intervention after 2 or 3 pop-offs; however, the American ...

Aspirin Discontinuation at 24 to 28 Weeks’ Gestation in Pregnancies at High Risk of Preterm Preeclampsia: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Preeclampsia affects up to 4% of pregnancies and is marked by the development of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. Complications associated with the disorder include preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, placental abruption, HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets) syndrome, seizures, and other end organ damage. Aspirin has been shown to reduce the incidence of preterm preeclampsia by 62%. However, it can also lead to peripartum bleeding. Screening for preeclampsia in the first trimester (11 to 13 weeks' gestation) can help identify up to 60% of pregnant individuals who will d...

Resurgence of Autologous Fascial Slings in a Challenging Climate for Sling Surgery: A 20-Year Review of Comparative Data
Conclusions Autologous fascial sling and SS are both highly effective surgical procedures for the treatment of female SUI. Although success rates are comparable, AFS is associated with less favorable operative measures. Relevance This review supports the effectiveness of AFS in treating female SUI as concerns over the use of synthetic materials in vaginal surgery rise. However, clinicians must weigh the risks conferred by this nonsynthetic alternative. Target Audience Obstetricians and gynecologists, family physicians Learning Objectives After participating in this activity, the learner should be b...

Fetal Omphalocele: Review of Predictive Factors Important for Antenatal Counseling?
Conclusions and Relevance A multidisciplinary approach should be encouraged after the diagnosis of fetal omphalocele. In addition to clinical team experience, antenatal counseling should be based on objective and gestational age-dependent criteria and should include long-term outcomes. Target Audience Obstetricians and gynecologists, family physicians. Learning Objectives After completing this activity, the learner should be better able to propose management of antenatal investigations and fetal surveillance; identify antenatal factors predictive of fetal and neonatal outcomes; and explain the different a...

Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Comprehensive Review of Guidelines
Conclusions Postpartum hemorrhage is a significant contributor of maternal morbidity and mortality. Thus, the development of consistent international practice protocols for the effective management and prevention of this major complication seems of paramount importance and will hopefully improve obstetric outcomes and especially maternal mortality rate. Target Audience Obstetricians and gynecologists, family physicians. Learning Objectives After participating in this activity, the learner should be better able to explain the definition of postpartum hemorrhage, as well as the initial maternal evaluation; ...
