Population-based impact of noninvasive prenatal screening on screening and diagnostic testing for fetal aneuploidy
Purpose To assess the population-wide impact of noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) on combined first-trimester screening (CFTS), early ultrasound (11−13 weeks), and invasive prenatal diagnosis in a state with over 73,000 births per year. Methods Analysis of population-based data from 2000 to 2015 including (i)...

Objective: To compare the efficacy of dydrogesterone, 17-OH progesterone (17OHP) and oral or vaginal micronized progesterone with cerclage for the prevention of preterm birth in women with a short cervix. Methods: The study included 95 women with singleton gestation and cervical length (CL) ≤ 25 mm. Among these, 35...
- Далее -Endometrial thickness influences neonatal birth weight in pregnancies with obstetric complications achieved after fresh IVF-ICSI cycles
Purpose Pregnancy-associated complications, duration of gestation and parity are well-known predictors of neonatal birth weight. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) affects neonatal birth weight as well. Endometrial thickness as measured on the day of HCG triggering may therefore impact on the neonatal birth...

Objective To assess and compare pregnancy outcomes in hydrosalpinx (HX) patients treated by Essure, laparoscopic salpingectomy, and proximal tubal occlusion (LPTO) before IVF. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting University-affiliated teaching hospital. Patient (s) Women undergoing Essure, laparoscopic...
- Далее -Reproductive prognosis in women with endometriosis after conservative surgery: a single-center experience.
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the reproductive prognosis in women subjected to conservative surgical treatment for endometriosis seeking pregnancy during the first three years after surgery. We tried to identify operative findings which negative influences prognosis. METHODS: A total of 140 patients were retrospectively...
- Далее -Endometrial injury, the quality of embryos, and blastocyst transfer are the most important prognostic factors for in vitro fertilization success after previous repeated unsuccessful attempts
Purpose The purpose of this study was to find out the most important prognostic factors for achieving a pregnancy after in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with history of repeated unsuccessful IVF attempts. Methods We analyzed factors affecting pregnancy rate in a retrospective study including 429...

Abstract Objectives To systematically review clinical validation studies of MPS technology in prenatal screening for trisomy 21 and to explore the potential implementation strategies in China compared with those in developing countries. Methods Searches of the Cochrane Library, Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science,...
- Далее -The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio as a predictor for poor pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor-1 (sFlt-1)/placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio has been studied extensively as a predictive marker for pre-eclampsia. However, its usefulness for predicting neonatal outcomes remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the association of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio with pregnancy...
