Article Abstract
Problem: To identify the predictive factors for the recurrence of chronic endometritis (CE) in infertile women.
Method Of Study: In this case-control study, 1170 infertile women recovered from CE and underwent fertility treatment between December 2018 and August 2021. Among the 146 women (12.5%) who did not conceive or experienced pregnancy loss in 18 months after CE recovery, 105 consecutive women who underwent repeat endometrial biopsy for CD138 immunostaining and endometrial bacterial culturing were recruited. Thereafter, patients with and without CE recurrence were compared.
Results: The total recurrence rate of CE was 29.5% (31 women). Multivariable logistic regression analysis to determine predictive factors for CE recurrence revealed that hysteroscopic surgery (odds ratio [OR], 0.10; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.02-0.56; p = 0.0009) and pregnancy loss (OR, 4.13; 95% CI, 1.31-13.05; p = 0.016) were significantly associated with decreased and increased CE recurrence rates, respectively. Also, reexamination with CD138 immunostaining after 16-18 months (OR, 9.75; 95% CI, 1.47-64.64; p = 0.024) was significantly associated with increased CE recurrence rates. Among 49 patients without a history of pregnancy loss, the cumulative CE recurrence rates after 6, 12, and 18 months were 5.6%, 13.5%, and 20.4%, respectively.
Conclusions: We recommend reexamination with endometrial CD138 immunostaining in patients with pregnancy loss or long-term infertility during fertility treatment. Hysteroscopic surgery without antibiotic therapy for CE associated with intrauterine abnormalities is also recommended.

Covariate adjustment in LGBTQ+ health disparities research: aligning methods with assumptions.

In 2016, the NIH designated LGBTQ+ individuals (ie, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and all sexual and gender minorities) as a health disparities population. The growing interest in studying the health of LGBTQ+ populations merits revisiting the methodological approaches researchers employ. We elucidate how researchers can identify appropriate adjustment sets for causal questions using directed acyclic graphs (DAGs).

Introduction: One to two percent of women worldwide experience recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation. Genetic factors, including variations in the FOXP3 gene, have been implicated in the unexplained etiology of RPL. This study aimed to identify and characterize novel genetic variants in exons 2 and 7 of the FOXP3 gene in South Indian women with idiopathic RPL and to analyze their potential impact on protein structure.

Purpose: Prior studies in fresh embryo transfer IVF cycles have associated elevated serum progesterone level on day of ovulatory trigger, particularly if ≥ 1.5 ng/ml, with decreased pregnancy rates. A similar association has been found in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles using gonadotropins for ovulation induction.

Background: Reproductive-age women with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) following uterine surgery may be asymptomatic or may experience light or absent menstruation, infertility, preterm delivery, and/or peripartum hemorrhage. Understanding procedure- and technique-specific risks and the available evidence on the impact of surgical adjuvants is essential to the design of future research.
Objective And Rationale: While many systematic reviews have been published, most deal with singular aspects of the problem.

Background: Postpartum depressive symptoms is a common and serious mental disorder. Most of the previous studies on the predictors of postpartum depressive symptoms adopted cross-sectional designs with relatively low levels of research evidence. Based on a prospective longitudinal study design, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of postpartum depressive symptoms and associated risk factors in central China.
