Purpose: Potential risk of adverse obstetrical outcomes has been shown among breast cancer survivors. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the relationship between history of breast cancer (BC) and obstetrical outcomes. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Medline were searched from the inception of each database to April 2019. Selection criteria included prospective and retrospective cohort studies of BC pregnant survivors. The meta-analysis was performed by computing odds ratios (ORs) using both fixed and random-effects models.

The aim of this review is to describe the state of the art in the use of Arabin Pessary for the prevention of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB).

Preterm birth is an obstetric condition associated with a high risk of infant mortality and morbidities in both the neonatal period and later in life, which has also a significant public health impact because it carries an important societal economic burden. As in many cases the etiology is unknown, it is important to identify environmental factors that may be involved in the occurrence of this condition.
