Part II of the Australasian guideline for the investigation and management of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) provides evidence-based guidance on the management of RPL provided. The implications of inherited and acquired thrombophilia with respect to RPL and suggestions for clinical management are provided. Autoimmune factors, including human leukocyte antigen, cytokines, antinuclear antibodies and coeliac antibodies, and guidance for management are discussed. Infective, inflammatory and endometrial causes of RPL are discussed in detail. Environmental and lifestyle factors, male factor and unexplained causes are outlined. Levels of evidence and grades of consensus are provided for all evidence-based statements.

Guidelines for the investigation and management of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) have been developed in Europe, USA and UK, but there is currently no Australasian guideline. The Australasian Certificate of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Consensus Expert Panel on Trial Evidence group has prepared a two-part guideline to provide guidance on the management of RPL. In Part I chromosomal, anatomical, and endocrine factors are outlined along with relevant recommendations for clinical management, levels of evidence and grades of consensus. In Part II thrombophilia, autoimmune factors, infective, inflammatory, and endometrial causes, environmental and lifestyle factors, male factor and unexplained causes will be outlined.

Providing adequate and balanced nutrition for preterm infants, especially extremely/very preterm infants, is the material basis for promoting their normal growth and development and improving long-term prognosis. Enteral nutrition is the best way to feed preterm infants. Previous systematic reviews have shown that using evidence-based standardized feeding management strategies can effectively promote the establishment of full enteral feeding, reduce the duration of parenteral nutrition, improve the nutritional outcomes of preterm infants, and not increase the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis or death. Based on relevant research in China and overseas, the consensus working group has developed 20 recommendations in 5 aspects including the goal of enteral nutrition, transitioning to enteral nutrition, stable growth period enteral nutrition, supplementation of special nutrients, and monitoring of enteral nutrition for preterm infants, using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. The aim is to provide recommendations for healthcare professionals involved in the management of enteral nutrition for preterm infants, in order to improve the clinical outcomes of preterm infants.

OBJECTIVE: Venous thromboembolism is one of the most serious complications of the postpartum period, and international societies have various thromboprophylaxis guidelines for its prevention. This study compares postpartum venous thromboprophylaxis recommendations from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RCOG) with real-life clinical practices.
METHODS: Data analysis of 1000 postpartum women at a tertiary care center focused on patient demographics, venous thromboembolism risk factors, and clinical thromboprophylaxis practices. Patient-specific risk factors were compared between ACOG and RCOG guidelines, assessing Low-Molecular-Weight-Heparin dosages and durations. Guideline compliance, undertreatment/overtreatment rates, and the required number of prefilled Low-Molecular-Weight-Heparin syringes were evaluated.
RESULTS: Significant discrepancies were observed between ACOG and RCOG guidelines, particularly in Low Molecular Weight Heparin dosages and durations. Consensus rates with clinical approaches were around 53%, with inconsistencies leaning towards undertreatment (RCOG) and overtreatment (ACOG). The number of required prefilled Low-Molecular-Weight-Heparin syringes was notably higher according to ACOG compared to RCOG guidelines.
CONCLUSIONS: Postpartum Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis guidelines from American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists exhibit substantial differences, leading to variations in clinical practice. Further research on the significance of Venous thromboembolism risk factors is essential for improving risk assessment tools and refining guideline recommendations for pregnancy-related Venous thromboembolism prevention.

UNASSIGNED: Perinatal depression and anxiety are public health concerns affecting approximately 1 in 10 women in Singapore, with clear evidence of association with various adverse outcomes in mother and child, including low birthweight, preterm birth and negative impact on infant neurodevelopment, temperament and behaviour. A workgroup was formed to develop recommendations to address the perinatal mental health needs of women with depression and anxiety. The approach was broad-based and aimed to incorporate holistic methods that would be readily applicable to the network of care providers supporting childbearing women.
UNASSIGNED: The Grading and Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Evidence to Decision framework was employed to draw these guidelines. Workgroup members-comprising experts in the field of perinatal mental health and obstetric medicine-deliberated on the public health needs of the target population, and reviewed literature published from 2001 to 2022 that were relevant to improve the well-being of women with depression and anxiety during the preconception and perinatal periods.
UNASSIGNED: A consensus meeting was held involving a wider professional network, including family physicians, paediatricians, psychiatrists, social services and the Health Promotion Board in Singapore.
UNASSIGNED: Ten consensus statements were developed, focusing on the overall aim of achieving optimal perinatal mental health for women with depression and anxiety. They relate to awareness and advice on preconception mental health, screening and assessment, optimising care and treatment. Special considerations were recommended for women who suffered severe maternal events, tailoring care for adolescents and women with special needs, and addressing infant mental health needs.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the team appointed by the Board of the Urogynecology Section of the Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (PSGO) was to develop this interdisciplinary Guideline for the diagnostic assessment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in women, based on the available literature, expert knowledge and opinion, as well as everyday practice.
METHODS: A review of the literature, including current international guidelines and earlier PSGO recommendations (2010-2020) about POP, was conducted.
RESULTS: The steps of the diagnostic assessment for patients with POP, subdivided into initial and specialized diagnostics, have been presented. Indications for specialized diagnostic assessment have also been listed. In case of surgical treatment, the patient may be referred solely based on the initial diagnostics or after certain elements of the specialized diagnostics have been completed.
CONCLUSIONS: Due to inconclusive data, the scope of the diagnostic process for POP is individualized for each patient and depends on patient-reported symptoms, initial diagnostic findings, surgical history, management plan, availability of the equipment, and cost.

BACKGROUND: The last decades revealed new scientific knowledge regarding the fertility and potential malignancy of undescended testis AQ2(UDT). Accordingly, many guidelines changed their recommendation concerning timing of therapy, with the goal of an earlier time of surgery.
METHODS: We analyzed the number of new diagnosis and performed surgeries in predefined age groups provided by the obligatory annual reports of German hospitals in the reimbursement.INFO\"-tool between 2006 and 2020.
RESULTS: Overall, 124,741 cases were analyzed. We showed a slight increase in performed surgeries in the first year by 2% per year with a main increase till 2011, a constant number of surgeries between first and 4th year and a decrease of surgeries between 5 and 14th year of living with a main decrease till 2009 by 3% per year.
CONCLUSIONS: Even if our results illustrate an increasing adaption of the guideline\'s recommendation, there is still a significant number of patients who receive later treatment. More research about the reasons and circumstances for the latter is needed.

BACKGROUND: Preconception health has the potential to improve parental, pregnancy and infant outcomes. This scoping review aims to (1) provide an overview of the strategies, policies, guidelines, frameworks, and recommendations available in the UK and Ireland that address preconception health and care, identifying common approaches and health-influencing factors that are targeted; and (2) conduct an audit to explore the awareness and use of resources found in the scoping review amongst healthcare professionals, to validate and contextualise findings relevant to Northern Ireland.
METHODS: Grey literature resources were identified through Google Advanced Search, NICE, OpenAire, ProQuest and relevant public health and government websites. Resources were included if published, reviewed, or updated between January 2011 and May 2022. Data were extracted into Excel and coded using NVivo. The review design included the involvement of the \"Healthy Reproductive Years\" Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement advisory panel.
RESULTS: The searches identified 273 resources, and a subsequent audit with healthcare professionals in Northern Ireland revealed five additional preconception health-related resources. A wide range of resource types were identified, and preconception health was often not the only focus of the resources reviewed. Resources proposed approaches to improve preconception health and care, such as the need for improved awareness and access to care, preconceptual counselling, multidisciplinary collaborations, and the adoption of a life-course approach. Many behavioural (e.g., folic acid intake, smoking), biomedical (e.g., mental and physical health conditions), and environmental and social (e.g., deprivation) factors were identified and addressed in the resources reviewed. In particular, pre-existing physical health conditions were frequently mentioned, with fewer resources addressing psychological factors and mental health. Overall, there was a greater focus on women\'s, rather than men\'s, behaviours.
CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review synthesised existing resources available in the UK and Ireland to identify a wide range of common approaches and factors that influence preconception health and care. Efforts are needed to implement the identified resources (e.g., strategies, guidelines) to support people of childbearing age to access preconception care and optimise their preconception health.

UNASSIGNED: Early childhood is a critical period for growth and development. Adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours during this period forms the foundation for future well-being and offers the best protection against non-communicable diseases. Singapore studies have shown that many young children are not achieving the recommendations on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep. A workgroup was set up to develop recommendations for caregivers of infants, toddlers and preschoolers (aged <7 years) on how to integrate beneficial activities within a daily 24-hour period for optimal development and metabolic health.
UNASSIGNED: The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE)- ADOLOPMENT approach was employed for adoption, adaption or de novo development of recommendations. International and national guidelines were used as references, and an update of the literature reviews up to September 2021 was conducted through an electronic search of PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases.
UNASSIGNED: Four consensus statements were developed for each age group: infants, toddlers and preschoolers. The statements focus on achieving good metabolic health through regular physical activity, limiting sedentary behaviour, achieving adequate sleep and positive eating habits. The 13th consensus statement recognises that integration of these activities within a 24-hour period can help obtain the best results.
UNASSIGNED: This set of recommendations guides and encourages caregivers of Singapore infants, toddlers and preschoolers to adopt beneficial lifestyle activities within each 24-hour period.

BACKGROUND: Women who are black are less likely to be diagnosed with endometriosis than white women. There is no confirmed biological basis, so this likely represents structural barriers around health care. There is a lack of evidence exploring the interface between ethnicity and symptoms or experience of care and treatment.
OBJECTIVE: To map recording of sociodemographic diversity in the evidence informing an endometriosis guideline.
METHODS: Inclusion of study setting, ethnicity, age, and socioeconomic status was documented within the evidence cited in National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) NG73 (2017) Endometriosis diagnosis and management. Included were 44 studies with 43 sample groups from the chapters: \'Signs and Symptoms\', \'Information and Support\', and \'Diagnosis\'. Data were extracted independently by two researchers.
RESULTS: No studies were conducted in primary care. The evidence cited in \'Signs and Symptoms\' and \'Diagnosis\' was exclusively from tertiary care. \'Information and Support\' included 9/16 studies from tertiary care, and 7/16 recruited through community and advocacy networks. For ethnicity, 4/44 studies formally reported participant ethnicity (three from \'Information and Support\', one from \'Diagnosis\'). In these, 93%, 90%, 60%, and 75% of participants were white/Caucasian (mean 79.5%). For age, 3/44 studies included adolescents. Many studies excluded women who were deemed outside reproductive age. For socioeconomic status, eight studies, all from \'Information and Support\', reported socioeconomic status in some form. The majority of participants were tertiary educated.
CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight the missing demographics within evidence cited in a national guideline for endometriosis. These align with documented inequities in diagnosis of endometriosis and warrant urgent attention.
