Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Preventing Preterm Birth with Progesterone in Women with a Short Cervical Length from a Low-Risk Population: A Multicenter Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of vaginal progesterone in reducing adverse neonatal outcome due to preterm birth (PTB) in low-risk pregnant women with a short cervical length (CL). ⋯ In women with a short cervix, who are otherwise low risk, we could not show a significant benefit of progesterone in reducing adverse neonatal outcome and PTB.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Active Warming during Cesarean Delivery: Should We SCIP It?
The purpose of this open, cluster randomized controlled trial was to evaluate whether use of a fiber optic-regulated warming mattress would decrease the incidence of hypothermia in women undergoing cesarean delivery. ⋯ Use of a warming mattress reduced the incidence of maternal hypothermia at the conclusion of surgery; however, on admission to the postanesthesia care unit, these effects had dissipated.
