The quality of citations in major international obstetrics and gynecology journals

Article Abstract:

It appears that many published articles in major obstetrics and gynecology journals misrepresent cited references. References were evaluated in all articles published during 1995 by the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. More than half of the references contained errors, most commonly author or title errors. The British journal contained the most errors and the Australian and New Zealand journal contained the fewest errors.

Birth weight and neurodevelopmental outcome of children at 2 years of age after planned vaginal delivery for breech presentation at term

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted with the objective to determine whether planned vaginal delivery for the term singleton baby in breech position increases the risk of abnormal neurodevelopment at 2 years of age and to assess whether the effect is modified by birth weight. The results showed that at 2 years of age, planned vaginal delivery is associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental delay at 2 years of age in term breech children with a birth weight greater than 3500 g.

Cell-free fetal deoxyribonucleic acid in maternal circulation as a marker of fetal-maternal hemorrhage in patients undergoing external cephalic version near term

Article Abstract:

Cephalic version can injure the fetus, according to researchers who found fetal blood cells in the blood of pregnant women in labor who had cephalic version. This is evidence of trauma to the fetus. Cephalic version is used to turn a breech baby around so it will come out head-first, rather than feet-first.
