Intrauterine growth restriction increases morbidity and morality among premature neonates

Article Abstract:

A large contemporary database is used to evaluate the outcomes of neonates with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and the gestational age-specific associations between growth restriction, morbidity and mortality. It is concluded that IUGR remains a serious problem that is associated with increased morbidity and mortality among prematurely born neonates, regardless of the definition used or whether the diagnosis is made antenatally or after birth.

A randomized trial comparing a 30mL and an 80mL Foley catheter balloon for preinduction cervical ripening

Article Abstract:

The efficacy of cervical ripening with two Foley catheter volumes, 30mL and 80mL, is compared in a study. Results show that ripening of the unfavorable cervix in primiparous women with a Foley catheter balloon inflated with 80mL of sterile saline resulted in more dilation, faster labor, and a decreased need for oxytocin than with a balloon inflated with a 30mL of the solution.

Preinduction cervical ripening with Foley catheter and the risk of subsequent preterm birth

Article Abstract:

The rate of preterm birth in women who received preinduction cervical ripening with a mechanical versus a prostaglandin method is compared. It was observed that the use of Foley catheter for preinduction cervical ripening does not increase the risk of preterm birth in a subsequent pregnancy.
