Anthropometrics of neonates born to mothers with PCOS with metformin or placebo exposure in utero
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: Fetal growth may be affected by both maternal polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metformin therapy. Here, we explore the effect of intrauterine metformin exposure on birth anthropometrics of infants born ... -
The association between intrapartum opioid fentanyl and early breastfeeding: A prospective observational study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction: Intrapartum opioids in labor may interfere with the early breastfeeding phase and cause breastfeeding difficulties. This study examines the effects of intrapartum fentanyl given intravenously (IV) or through ... -
A critical appraisal of the evidence for using cardiotocography plus ECG ST interval analysis for fetal surveillance in labor. Part I: The randomized controlled trials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06)We reappraised the five randomized controlled trials that compared cardiotocography plus ECG ST interval analysis (CTG+ST) vs. cardiotocography. The numbers enrolled ranged from 5681 (Dutch randomized controlled trial) to ... -
A critical appraisal of the evidence for using cardiotocography plus ECG ST interval analysis for fetal surveillance in labor. Part II: The meta-analyses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06)We appraised the methodology, execution and quality of the five published meta-analyses that are based on the five randomized controlled trials which compared cardiotocography (CTG)+ST analysis to cardiotocography. The ... -
Double-vs single-balloon catheter for induction of labor: Systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction Evidence comparing double-balloon vs single-balloon catheter for induction of labor is divided. We aim to compare the efficacy and safety of double-vs single-balloon catheters using individual participant ... -
The effect of Zhang’s guideline versus the WHO partograph on childbirth experience measured by the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire in the Labor Progression Study (LaPS): A cluster randomized trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction Childbirth experience is an increasingly recognized and important measure of quality of obstetric care. Previous research has shown that it can be affected by intrapartum care and how labor is followed. A ... -
Effects of applying universal fetal growth standards in a Scandinavian multi-ethnic population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02)Introduction: The question of whether universal growth charts can be used in multi‐ethnic settings is of general interest. The Intergrowth‐21st fetal growth and newborn size standards are suggested to represent optimal ... -
Is the fetus fit for labor? Introducing fast-and-frugal trees (FFTrees) to simplify triage of women for STAN monitoring: An interobserver agreement comparison with traditional classification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction It is a shortcoming of traditional cardiotocography (CTG) classification table formats that CTG traces are frequently classified differently by different users, resulting in poor interobserver agreements. ... -
Is the increasing prevalence of labor induction accompanied by changes in pregnancy outcomes? An observational study of all singleton births at gestational weeks 37–42 in Norway during 1999–2019
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Introduction Induction of labor is often performed to prevent adverse perinatal and maternal outcomes, and has become increasingly common. We studied whether changes in prevalence of labor induction in gestational weeks ... -
Neonatal outcomes associated with time from a high fetal blood lactate concentration to operative delivery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: Adjunctive technologies to cardiotocography intend to increase the specificity of the diagnosis of fetal hypoxia. If correctly diagnosed, time to delivery could affect neonatal outcome. In the present study, ... -
Preferences for follow up in long-term survivors after cervical cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Introduction An increasing number of cervical cancer survivors combined with lack of data on the efficacy of long-term surveillance, challenges existing follow-up models. However, before introducing new follow-up models, ... -
Pregestational maternal risk factors for preterm and term preeclampsia: A population-based cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction Most studies on factors affecting the risk of preeclampsia have not separated preterm from term preeclampsia, and we still know little about whether the predisposing conditions have a differentiated effect ... -
Recurrence of postpartum hemorrhage in relatives: A population-based cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction Studies on the family aggregation of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) are scarce and with inconsistent results, and to what extent current birthweight influences recurrence between relatives remains to be studied. ... -
Risk factors for surgical site infection following cesarean delivery: A hospital-based case–control study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction Cesarean section is the single most important risk factor for postpartum infection. Where the rest of the world shows increasing trends, the cesarean section rates are low in Norway and risk factors for ... -
Use of conditional centiles of middle cerebral artery pulsatility index and cerebroplacental ratio in the prediction of adverse perinatal outcomes
(Journal article, 2016-06)Introduction. Centiles of middle cerebral artery pulsatility index and cerebroplacental ratio are useful for predicting adverse perinatal outcomes. A ‘conditional centile’ is conditioned by a previous measurement reflecting ... -
Volume blood flow-based indices of fetal brain sparing in the second half of pregnancy: A longitudinal study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Introduction Cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) and umbilicocerebral ratio (UCR) are clinically used as a measure of fetal brain sparing. These are calculated as the ratios between the pulsatility indices (PIs) of middle cerebral ...
