  • Obesity in Pregnancy: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 230This link opens in a new window No abstract Aug 19, 2021
  • Prediction and Prevention of Spontaneous Preterm Birth: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 234This link opens in a new window Preterm birth is among the most complex and important challenges in obstetrics. Despite decades of research and clinical advancement, approximately 1 in 10 newborns in the United States is born prematurely. These newborns account for approximately three-quarters of perinatal mortality and more than one half of long-term neonatal morbidity, at significant social and economic cost (1-3). Because preterm birth is the common endpoint for multiple pathophysiologic processes, detailed classification... Jul 22, 2021
  • Anemia in Pregnancy: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 233This link opens in a new window Anemia, the most common hematologic abnormality, is a reduction in the concentration of erythrocytes or hemoglobin in blood. The two most common causes of anemia in pregnancy and the puerperium are iron deficiency and acute blood loss. Iron requirements increase during pregnancy, and a failure to maintain sufficient levels of iron may result in adverse maternal-fetal consequences. The purpose of this document is to provide a brief overview of the causes of anemia in pregnancy, review iron... Jul 22, 2021

  • Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Gynecologic Surgery: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 232This link opens in a new window Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are collectively referred to as "venous thromboembolic events" (VTE). Despite advances in prophylaxis, diagnosis, and treatment, VTE remains a leading cause of cost, disability, and death in postoperative and hospitalized patients (1, 2). Beyond the acute sequelae of leg pain, edema, and respiratory distress, VTE may result in chronic conditions, including postthrombotic syndrome (3), venous insufficiency, and pulmonary hypertension.

  • Multifetal Gestations: Twin, Triplet, and Higher-Order Multifetal Pregnancies: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 231This link opens in a new window The incidence of multifetal gestations in the United States has increased dramatically over the past several decades. For example, the rate of twin births increased 76% between 1980 and 2009, from 18.9 to 33.3 per 1,000 births (1). However, after more than three decades of increases, the twin birth rate declined 4% during 2014-2018 to 32.6 twins per 1,000 total births in 2018 (2). The rate of triplet and higher-order multifetal gestations increased more than 400% during the 1980s and 1990s,... May 20, 2021
  • Obesity in Pregnancy: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 230This link opens in a new window Obstetrician-gynecologists are the leading experts in the health care of women, and obesity is the most common medical condition in women of reproductive age. Obesity in women is such a common condition that the implications relative to pregnancy often are unrecognized, overlooked, or ignored because of the lack of specific evidence-based treatment options. The management of obesity requires long-term approaches ranging from population-based public health and economic initiatives to individual... May 20, 2021
  • Antepartum Fetal Surveillance: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 229This link opens in a new window The goal of antepartum fetal surveillance is to reduce the risk of stillbirth. Antepartum fetal surveillance techniques based on assessment of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns have been in clinical use for almost four decades and are used along with real-time ultrasonography and umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry to evaluate fetal well-being. Antepartum fetal surveillance techniques are routinely used to assess the risk of fetal death in pregnancies complicated by preexisting maternal... May 20, 2021
  • Management of Symptomatic Uterine Leiomyomas: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 228This link opens in a new window Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common solid and symptomatic neoplasm in women. They are the leading indication for hysterectomy (1, 2), which is a definitive and effective surgical treatment for leiomyoma. However, many patients benefit from and seek out management options other than hysterectomy because they desire future childbearing or wish to retain their uterus. The purpose of this Practice Bulletin is to provide updated evidence-based recommendations for the medical,... May 20, 2021

  • Fetal Growth Restriction: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 227This link opens in a new window Fetal growth restriction, also known as intrauterine growth restriction, is a common complication of pregnancy that has been associated with a variety of adverse perinatal outcomes. There is a lack of consensus regarding terminology, etiology, and diagnostic criteria for fetal growth restriction, with uncertainty surrounding the optimal management and timing of delivery for the growth-restricted fetus. An additional challenge is the difficulty in differentiating between the fetus that is... Jan 22, 2021

In Latin America and the Caribbean, hypertensive disorders are responsible for almost 26% of maternal deaths, whereas in Africa and Asia they contribute to 9% of deaths. Although maternal mortality is much lower in high-income countries than in developing countries, 16% of maternal deaths can... May 23, 2020
