More obstetrics & gynecology trends
All specialties →HPV self-sampling
Self-collected samples for cervical cancer screening.
Key point: Self-collected vaginal specimens are acceptable for average-risk individuals aged 25-65 years, with repeat HPV testing in 3 years after a negative result.
Non-invasive diagnosis of endometriosis
Biomarkers and imaging to diagnose endometriosis without surgery.
Key point: Experienced dynamic ultrasound has high specificity and generally high sensitivity for ovarian endometriomas and many deep lesions, with variable sensitivity for parametrial/superficial disease.
Postpartum haemorrhage
Prevention, early detection and treatment of bleeding after birth.
GLP-1 drugs in PCOS
GLP-1 based medicines in polycystic ovary syndrome.
Remote blood pressure monitoring in pregnancy
Home and remote blood pressure monitoring during pregnancy and after birth.
Key point: Remote blood pressure monitoring reduced antenatal outpatient appointments and likelihood of inpatient admissions without increasing adverse fetal and maternal outcomes.
Induction of labour at 39 weeks
Elective induction at 39 weeks in low-risk pregnancies.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
("cell-free DNA"[tiab] OR cfDNA[tiab] OR NIPT[tiab]) AND (prenatal[tiab] OR pregnan*[tiab])Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
