Pregnancy outcome in women with cerebral palsy: A nationwide population-based cohort study.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a lifelong disorder with a high rate of comorbidities and complications. We hypothesized that women with CP are at increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcome. ⋯ Women with CP are at increased risk of preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes, suggesting that they deserve extra surveillance during antenatal care. Further studies, with information on type of CP and gross motor function, are warranted to better understand the association between CP and pregnancy outcome.

Efficacy of mifepristone and misoprostol for medical treatment of missed miscarriage in clinical practice-A cohort study.
It has been estimated that one out of every four women experience first-trimester miscarriage. Missed miscarriage is a common form of early miscarriage where the products of conception are not expelled from the uterus. It is diagnosed by ultrasound. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the success rate of a combination treatment with mifepristone and misoprostol for missed miscarriage in clinical practice. The secondary objective was to identify significant factors influencing the rate of success. ⋯ The medical regimen for missed miscarriage offered in this study appears to be safe and with high rates of success. Conclusions about which women to exclude from medical treatment could not be made. Medical treatment may therefore benefit all women with missed miscarriage who wish to avoid primary surgery.
