Randomized Controlled Trial
The effects of single-dose dexamethasone on inflammatory response and pain after uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic fibroids or adenomyosis: a randomised controlled study.
To investigate the effects of single-dose intravenous dexamethasone on inflammatory responses, pain, nausea, and vomiting after uterine artery embolisation (UAE). ⋯ Dexamethasone is effective in reducing inflammation and pain after uterine artery embolisation.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is in the process of updating antenatal care (ANC) guidelines. ⋯ We identified existing ANC guidelines and mapped scope, practices, recommendations and source of evidence.

Frailty is the loss of physical or mental reserve that impairs function, often in the absence of a defined comorbidity. Our aim was to determine whether a modified frailty index (mFI) correlates with morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hysterectomy. ⋯ Frailty may be useful in the preoperative risk assessment of women undergoing gynaecological surgery.

Review Meta Analysis
Transvaginal ultrasound cervical length for prediction of spontaneous labour at term: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The possibility to predict the delivery date is a question frequently raised by pregnant women. However, a clinician has currently little to predict when a woman at term will deliver. ⋯ Cervical length at term has moderate value in predicting the onset of spontaneous labour.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A 3-year follow-up after anterior colporrhaphy compared with collagen-coated transvaginal mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse: a randomised controlled trial.
To compare the 1-year (previously published) and 3-year objective and subjective cure rates, and complications, related to the use of a collagen-coated transvaginal mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse against a conventional anterior repair. ⋯ POP-Q deteriorates after anterior prolapse surgery but remains stable in women with mesh implantation.
