..The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of sonographically indicated cerclage in multiple gestations with sonographic evidence of short cervical length (CL)...

..Contingency model screening of fFN in asymptomatic twin pregnancies solely based on CL evaluation may fail to identify a cohort of at-risk patients...

..To examine the impact of maternal obesity on maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)...

..To assess the accuracy of vaginal fetal fibronectin sampling without use of a sterile speculum examination as a screening test for predicting spontaneous preterm birth...

..To estimate whether the weight gain recommendations for twin pregnancies in the 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines are associated with improved perinatal outcomes...

..This remained true when we excluded all patients who delivered <34 weeks. IUGR is very common in twin pregnancies. However, in twin pregnancies, IUGR cannot be predicted by maternal risk factors...

..The purpose of this study was to define normal second-trimester cervical length (CL) measurements and to estimate the association between second-trimester CL and spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) in twin pregnancies...

..Delayed-interval delivery is associated with a higher neonatal survival rate when retained fetuses are compared with firstborn fetuses. However, the procedure is associated with a significant risk of serious maternal morbidity...

..The purpose of this study was to estimate the association between second-trimester estimated fetal weight and fetal growth restriction in twin pregnancies...

..The study was undertaken to assess the validity of vaginal fetal fibronectin assay as a screening test for spontaneous preterm delivery in asymptomatic patients who have undergone multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR)...

..The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gestational age at sonographic detection of placenta previa as a predictor of previa persistence until delivery in twin gestations...

..The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between fetal fibronectin (fFN) testing prior to ultrasound-indicated cerclage and obstetric outcome...

..To estimate the association between fetal fibronectin (fFN), cervical length (CL), and spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) in asymptomatic women with triplet pregnancies...

..To assess the diagnostic accuracy of vaginal fetal fibronectin (fFN) sampling for predicting preterm birth in asymptomatic women carrying triplet gestations...

..To estimate the likelihood of cesarean delivery and length of labor in twin pregnancies undergoing induction of labor as compared with singleton pregnancies...

..Given the rarity of the disease, there is little information available to counsel patients with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome regarding obstetric outcome...

..This study had 80% power to detect a 30% reduction in the primary outcome. CONCLUSION: Prophylactic cerclage did not result in improved pregnancy or neonatal outcomes in triplet pregnancies without a history of cervical insufficiency...

..To review our experience with a minimally invasive technique for umbilical cord occlusion as a method of selective feticide in monochorionic sets...

..The objective of this study is to define the risk of T21 in patients with a low-risk TS and an isolated EIF...

..This medication is the only drug currently FDA approved for the prevention of preterm birth, and it is the first drug the FDA has approved for use exclusively during pregnancy in approximately 15 years...

..To compare the efficacy of Shirodkar to McDonald cerclage in patients with singleton pregnancies undergoing an ultrasound-indicated cerclage...

..The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of vaginal fetal fibronectin as a screening test for spontaneous preterm birth in patients with cervical cerclage...

..Comprehensive aneuploidy risk assessment counseling including same-day results is associated with increased patient understanding and satisfaction, decreased anxiety, and increased adherence to ACOG guidelines...

..To describe a new technique for wound closure after endoscopic intrauterine procedures which prevents amniotic fluid leakage after the procedure...

..Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare diagnosis with a significant associated risk of pulmonary embolism. The mainstay of therapy consists of intravenous antibiotics and anticoagulation...

..These findings suggest a mechanism by which omega-3 fatty acid supplementation decreases the incidence of preterm birth in high-risk patients...

..Ultrasound has an important role not only in assessing amnionicity and chorionicity but also in diagnosing abnormalities and providing fetal surveillance throughout the duration of gestation...
