The impact of labor at term on measures of neonatal outcome

Article Abstract:

The study determines risk assessments for a spectrum of neonatal outcomes with elective cesarean delivery versus a trial of labor for previous cesarean section and otherwise healthy patients who deliver at term. The risk of adverse neonatal outcomes is low, with the choice between elective cesarean delivery and trial of labor in general balancing the low risk of increased respiratory morbidity and thereby neonatal intensive care unit triage/admission against the extremely low risk of labor-related infant death and severe morbidity.

Randomized trial of a physician-based intervention to increase the use of folic acid supplements among women

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the impact of a physician intervention during routine gynecologic visits on folic acid supplementation. It was found that with little effort expended to encourage folic acid use, gynecologists could potentially reduce the risk of folate-preventable birth defects among their patients by as much as 11%.
