Possible Rates of Detection of Neonatal Sepsis Pathogens in the Context of Microbiological Diagnostics in Mothers - Real World Data
CONCLUSION: In cases of neonatal sepsis, the sepsis-causing pathogen was successfully detected through prior analysis of a maternal smear in 7% of full-term infants and in 19% of premature infants. The number needed to test was relatively high in all groups. The value of maternal smears for identifying neonatal sepsis-causing pathogens needs to be critically questioned.PMID:37928410 | PMC:PMC10624541 | DOI:10.1055/a-2091-0856 (Source: Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde)

Is carbon monoxide testing in pregnancy an acceptable and effective smoking cessation initiative? An integrative systematic review of evidence
CONCLUSION: Whilst carbon monoxide testing can identify smoking, it does not appear to motivate pregnant smokers to quit.PMID:37932159 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2023.10.008 (Source: Women Birth)

Protruding vs. visible prolapsed fetal membranes adversely affects the outcome of cervical insufficiency
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide support for considering emergency cerclage as a viable option when addressing cases involving a visible form of PFM, although the recommendation is somewhat less robust in instances of protruding PFM. The implementation of an emergency cerclage procedure has the potential to extend the time frame between diagnosis and delivery, enhance neonatal survival rates, and increase the likelihood of births occurring after 28 weeks of gestation. However, it does not seem to significantly affect the rate of births taking place after 32 weeks of gestation. This could potentially lead to complications ...
