Abstract STUDY QUESTION Does the immune response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection or BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine involve ovarian follicle, and does it affect its function? SUMMARY ANSWER We were able demonstrate anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS–CoV-2) IgG in follicular fluid (FF) from both infected vaccinated IVF patients, with no evidence for compromised function. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY No research data are available yet. DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This is a cohort study,...
To identify trends and risk factors for early surgical site infection (SSI) following cesarean delivery (CD).A population-based study comparing characteristics of women who have not developed post SSI was conducted. Deliveries occurred between the years 1988 2013 in a tertiary medical center. A multivariable logistic regression model, with backwards elimination, used to control confounders.Of 41 375 deliveries performed during period, 1521 (3.7%) were complicated SSI. rates significantly...
Objective: To compare the efficacy of two mechanical devices for cervical ripening: Foley catheter with extra-amniotic saline infusion and Cook ripening balloon. Methods: Women at term a singleton pregnancy who presented labor induction were randomly assigned to or balloon (costs $3 $41, respectively). The main outcome measures included time from device insertion delivery, rates successful vaginal delivery occurrence adverse events. Results: study was completed by 188 women. Time expulsion...
Abstract The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine pregnant women, although data regarding effectiveness during pregnancy are lacking. This national, population-based, historical cohort study women in Israel, delivering between August 1, 2021 and March 22, 2022, aims to analyze compare the second doses’ preventing COVID-19-related hospitalizations two waves (Delta variant summer Omicron, BA.1, winter 2022). Time-dependent Cox proportional-hazards...
Summary Objective Newborns exhibit the lowest immediate respiratory morbidity rates when born following 39 completed weeks of gestation. We sought to determine whether early‐term delivery (37–38 + 6 weeks’ gestation) impacts on long‐term pediatric morbidity. Study design In this population‐based prospective cohort analysis, all term singleton deliveries occurring between 1991 and 2013 at a single tertiary medical center were included. Gestational age upon was sub‐divided into: early...
Abstract To evaluate a possible dose-response relationship between active maternal smoking during pregnancy and adverse perinatal outcome. Retrospective cohort study. Population-based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Women who gave birth to liveborn or stillborn infant the period of January 2001 December 2007. Active smokers different daily cigarette consumption (n=1646) were identified through self-reporting. The reference group comprised 19,292 non-smoking women delivered same period. Birth...
To investigate whether postterm pregnancy (≥42 0/7 weeks' gestation) increases the risk for adverse perinatal outcome.In this population based cohort study, all singleton deliveries occurring between 1991 and 2014 in a tertiary medical center were included. Pregnancy outcomes compared term (37 to 41 6/7 gestation). Preterm deliveries, unknown gestational age, congenital malformations, multiple gestations, excluded. The association was evaluated using general estimation equation (GEE)...
Data collection regarding the effects of COVID-19 on reproduction is ongoing. This study examined effect IVF cycle parameters and early pregnancy outcomes. It included two arms: first compared non-exposed cycles to post-SARS-CoV-2 cycles. Sperm were also compared. The second, prospective arm outcomes among patients who contracted during those did not. None vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. 60 treatment women with confirmed COVID-19, (either same patient before exposure or matched patients). not...
