Multicenter Study
Retrospective multicentre study of the new minimally invasive mesh repair devices for pelvic organ prolapse.
To assess the complications and short-term outcomes of prolapse repair mesh devices used in the management of female pelvic organ prolapse (POP). ⋯ The new prolapse repair mesh devices demonstrate excellent short-term cure and low morbidity rates. However, some complications are serious and require highly specialised management. Rigorous evaluation by means of independent, controlled studies is urgently required.

To describe the incidence of clinical miscarriage and to investigate the factors influencing the occurrence of clinical miscarriage. ⋯ Clinical miscarriage constituted 12% of all pregnancies, and one in four women who had been pregnant up to 39 years of age had experienced a miscarriage. Three or more miscarriages were experienced by 7.4%. The occurrence of a miscarriage was not influenced by the order of the pregnancy.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Change in knowledge of midwives and obstetricians following obstetric emergency training: a randomised controlled trial of local hospital, simulation centre and teamwork training.
To explore the effect of obstetric emergency training on knowledge. Furthermore, to assess if acquisition of knowledge is influenced by the training setting or teamwork training. ⋯ Practical, multiprofessional, obstetric emergency training increased midwives' and doctors' knowledge of obstetric emergency management. Furthermore, neither the location of training, in a simulation centre or in local hospitals, nor the inclusion of teamwork training made any significant difference to the acquisition of knowledge in obstetric emergencies.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A randomised controlled trial of prophylactic levonorgestrel intrauterine system in tamoxifen-treated women.
To study the prophylactic use of levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in the prevention of endometrial pathology in women having breast cancer treated with tamoxifen. ⋯ LNG-IUS reduces the occurrence of de novo endometrial polyp in women treated with tamoxifen for breast cancer.
