In Brief OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of transobturator tape with tension-free vaginal (TVT) in terms objective cure stress urinary incontinence (SUI) at 12 months postoperatively. METHOD: Women SUI were randomly allocated to either or TVT procedures and reviewed after surgery. The primary outcome was evidence “cure,” evaluated by standardized pad test (cure defined as less than 1 g urine leaked). Other outcomes included complications, subjective cure, incontinence-related quality...
To determine if chronic oxygen dependency (discharge home on supplemental oxygen) in children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD; defined as requirement for O2 at 36 weeks postmenstrual age) predicts neurodevelopmental disability rates and growth outcomes months corrected age (CA).Longitudinal cohort study.Southern Alberta regional center located high altitude.Preterm infants weighing ≤1250 grams no BPD, BPD dependency.Neurodevelopmental outcomes.Of 1563 preterm admitted from 1995-2007,...
Background Environmental factors vary with the seasons and affect fetal development. Our objective was to assess impact of season conception on neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18–21 months corrected age in singleton infants <29 weeks’ gestation. Methods A retrospective cohort study born between 2006 2015 a tertiary-level neonatal intensive care unit conducted. The date calculated as birth minus gestational plus 14 days, dates were then divided into winter non-winter months. primary...
To investigate the potential link between nighttime births, unit busyness, and incidence of perinatal hypoxia or moderate-to-severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Retrospective cohort study with nested case control all singleton births ≥ 35-week gestation for years 2010-20, in Alberta, a province Canada. Perinatal Hypoxia was defined as intrapartum stillbirth neonatal death from asphyxia Neonatal Intensive Care Unit admission at least two following: a. Apgar score ≤ 5 10 min; b. mechanical...
Abstract Aim: We sought to assess the effect of progesterone in increasing or decreasing duration pregnancy for mothers with twins and triplets. Methods: Women multiple were randomized at 16+0 20+6 weeks’ gestation receive daily doses either 90 mg vaginal gel placebo until 35+6 weeks delivery. Primary outcome was gestational age (GA) Secondary outcomes included preterm birth, infant morbidity mortality, adverse events up 28 days after A sample size 40 per group required detect a 2-week...
Objective To evaluate impact of body mass index ( BMI ) ≥30 on objective and subjective cure rates 12 months after midurethral sling surgery. Design Secondary analysis. Setting Three hospitals in Calgary, Canada, 2005–07. Population A total 182 women enrolled a randomised control trial tension‐free vaginal tape versus transobturator tape. Methods Women were classified as obese or nonobese from height weight day underwent postoperative standardised pad tests, self‐reporting urinary...

In this study, we evaluated the Clinical Risk Index for Babies - revised (CRIB-II) score as a predictor of long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants at 36 months' corrected age.CRIB-II scores, which include birthweight, gestational age, sex, admission temperature, and base excess, were recorded prospectively on all weighing 1250g or less admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The sensitivity specificity CRIB-II scores predict poor examined using receiver operating...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between antenatal diagnosis of velamentous and marginal placental cord insertions with adverse perinatal outcomes small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth weight (less than 5th percentile), caesarean birth, mortality. METHODS: Using a diagnostic imaging database, we performed cohort study all consecutive singleton pregnancies (35,391), including 1,427 cases 107 insertion, delivered after 24 6/7 weeks gestation January 1, 2012, December 31, 2015, at single...
To conduct an economic evaluation of the use trans-obturator tape (TOT) compared with tension-free vaginal (TVT) in surgical treatment stress urinary incontinence (SUI) women.Cost utility analysis from public-payer perspective, conducted alongside a randomised clinical trial (RCT).Health services provided Alberta, Canada.A total 194 women who participated RCT, followed to 1 year surgery.Data collected on all over 12 months following surgery. Comparisons undertaken between RCT groups for cost...
