    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in pregnancy is associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality, and its risks can be mitigated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. Vaccination against COVID-19 in pregnancy results in protection against both maternal and neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as maternal critical illness. Vaccination during pregnancy is safe, with no documented risks of pregnancy loss, preterm delivery, congenital anomalies, or other adverse perinatal outcomes. For these reasons, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended in pregnancy by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, as well as other national and international professional organizations. In this review, we will summarize the published literature demonstrating the benefit and safety of these vaccines.

    Abstract Guidelines for the management of first-trimester spontaneous and induced abortion vary in terms of rhesus factor D (RhD) testing and RhD immune globulin (RhIg) administration. These existing guidelines are based on limited data that do not convincingly demonstrate the safety of withholding RhIg for first-trimester abortions or pregnancy losses. Given the adverse fetal and neonatal outcomes associated with RhD alloimmunization, prevention of maternal sensitization is essential in RhD-negative patients who may experience subsequent pregnancies. In care settings in which RhD testing and RhIg administration are logistically and financially feasible and do not hinder access to abortion care, we recommend offering both RhD testing and RhIg administration for spontaneous and induced abortion at <12 weeks of gestation in unsensitized, RhD-negative individuals. Guidelines for RhD testing and RhIg administration in the first trimester must balance the prevention of alloimmunization with the individual- and population-level harms of restricted access to abortion.

    Abstract Reducing exposure to tobacco and marijuana during preconception and early pregnancy is a critical area of intervention for obstetricians, gynecologists, and other reproductive health care professionals. Beyond the deleterious personal health effects, both substances have been extensively associated with short-term and long-term detrimental effects to gametogenesis, fecundity, as well as tissue level effects in the reproductive tracts. When tobacco and marijuana do not impair the ability to achieve pregnancy, an increasing body of literature suggests either may be associated with increased risk of early pregnancy loss and reproductive wastage. In this review, we will discuss what is known about how tobacco and marijuana affect the male and female reproductive systems and highlight how these consequences may impair attempts at successful conception and pregnancy continuation beyond the first trimester.

    Abstract Screening tests are critical to patient care. Screening tests must meet ten criteria established by the World Health Organization in order to be considered effective. Common types of studies on screening tests include those that establish test characteristics, such as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, as well as cost-effective analyses. In this paper, we review the criteria for effective screening tests, and discuss the strengths and pitfalls of common study designs evaluating screening tests.

    Abstract Magnesium sulfate reduces the risk for eclamptic seizures antepartum, intrapartum, and in the immediate postpartum period, however, there are no studies that have evaluated the benefits and risks of magnesium sulfate among women with late postpartum severe hypertension only. Juxtaposed on this clinical uncertainty is the increased incidence of severe hypertension owing to a rise in pregnancies complicated by advanced maternal age, obesity, chronic hypertension, diabetes, and recent protocols for intensive monitoring of blood pressure in the postpartum period. These factors have led to a significant increase in postpartum presentations for the evaluation and management of severe hypertension, in some cases leading to postpartum readmissions for administration of antihypertensive therapy and magnesium sulfate without data demonstrating clear clinical benefit. Postpartum readmissions can have several negative consequences, including interfering with early bonding with a newborn, breastfeeding, and use of scarce healthcare resources. In addition, magnesium sulfate is associated with risks for serious cardiorespiratory depression and bothersome side effects and can delay determining the optimal antihypertensive regimen, which is typically the most pressing clinical need during postpartum presentations of late-postpartum severe hypertension. Eclampsia that occurs more than 48 hours after delivery is rare (constitutes 16% of all cases of eclampsia) and is most commonly preceded by headaches or other cerebral symptoms. In this commentary, we propose an approach to evaluating and managing patients with late postpartum severe hypertension aimed at identifying those women at highest risk for end-organ injury. We recommend that the short- and long-term focus for all patients with severe hypertension should be the optimal management of blood pressures with a goal of close outpatient monitoring when logistically feasible and clinically appropriate. We suggest reserving magnesium sulfate therapy for the subset of patients with neurologic symptoms who may be at highest risk for an eclamptic seizure.

    Abstract: The objective of this Clinical Recommendation is to review relevant literature and provide evidence-based recommendations for medication abortion between 14 0/7 and 27 6/7 weeks of gestation, with a focus on mifepristone-misoprostol and misoprostol-only ... ...

    Abstract The objective of this Clinical Recommendation is to review relevant literature and provide evidence-based recommendations for medication abortion between 14 0/7 and 27 6/7 weeks of gestation, with a focus on mifepristone-misoprostol and misoprostol-only regimens. We systematically reviewed PubMed articles published between 2008 and 2022 and reviewed reference lists of included articles to identify additional publications. See Search Strategy for more details. Several randomized trials of medication abortion between 14 0/7 and 27 6/7 weeks of gestation demonstrate that mifepristone 200 mg orally before misoprostol increases effectiveness (complete abortion at 24 or 48 hours) compared to misoprostol only. Studies continue to evaluate different doses, routes, and dosing intervals for misoprostol. If mifepristone is unavailable, several misoprostol regimens with individual doses of at least 200 mcg or more are effective. Adjunctive osmotic dilators are of limited benefit. It is important to individualize care, with consideration to reducing misoprostol dose in low-resource settings or at 24 0/7 weeks of gestation or later (or equivalent uterine size). Misoprostol in the setting of two or more previous cesarean sections is associated with increased risk of uterine rupture compared to one or none, but risk remains low. Most contraceptives can be started during or immediately following abortion. Appropriately trained and credentialed advanced practice clinicians can provide medication abortion between 14 0/7 and 27 6/7 weeks of gestation with appropriate backup within the confines of local regulations and licensure.

    Abstract Dissociation of embryo transfer from the ovarian stimulation cycle has afforded patients increased flexibility for genetic testing and fertility preservation. Although frozen embryo transfer (FET) has largely been demonstrated to be safe and effective compared with fresh transfer, programmed FET cycles, where a corpus luteum is absent, have come under increasing scrutiny. In observational trials, programmed FET protocols appear to be associated with an increased risk of ineffective decidualization and impaired placental function. Together with the appropriate preexisting risk factors, this additive risk may potentiate hypertensive disorders of pregnancy later in gestation. Efforts to understand the reasons for this apparent risk may afford us opportunities to better individualize the FET cycle type offered to patients with cryopreserved embryos. Randomized controlled trials will help us to understand whether the apparent risk is due to patient factors, which influence protocol choice, or a characteristic of the protocol itself, such as the absence of the corpus luteum or suboptimal replacement of estradiol and progesterone.
