Article Abstract
Objective: To examine the association between experiencing emotional or physical intimate partner violence (IPV) around the time of pregnancy and having a postpartum visit.
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from 2016 to 2021 from PRAMS (Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System), a population-based surveillance system that collects self-reported information about experiences before, during, and after pregnancy among women with a recent live birth. We used multivariable logistic regression to estimate the prevalence of experiencing emotional or physical IPV around the time of pregnancy and associations with having a postpartum visit.
Results: In seven jurisdictions with information on emotional IPV (n=30,333), 3.3% (95% CI, 3.0-3.6) of women with a recent live birth reported experiencing any emotional violence 12 months before pregnancy, during pregnancy, or after pregnancy; for these women, the prevalence of having a postpartum visit was 91.4% (95% CI, 90.9-91.9). Any emotional IPV was associated with lower odds of having a postpartum visit (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.74; 95% CI, 0.55-0.99). In 48 jurisdictions with information on physical IPV (n=224,957), 3.3% (95% CI, 3.2-3.5) of women with a recent live birth reported physical violence 12 months before pregnancy or during pregnancy; for these women, the prevalence of having a postpartum visit was 90.2% (95% CI, 90.0-90.4). Any physical IPV was associated with lower odds of having a postpartum visit (aOR 0.63; 95% CI, 0.57-0.69). Among women who had a postpartum visit, 34.2% (95% CI, 29.0-39.0) of those who experienced emotional IPV and 35.1% (95% CI, 33.2-37.1) of those who experienced physical IPV were not asked about IPV by a health care professional during the visit.
Conclusion: Experiencing emotional or physical IPV around the time of pregnancy was associated with lower odds of having a postpartum visit. Conducting screenings at various encounters such as telehealth, pediatric visits, or home health visits and ensuring availability of standard protocols and trainings for IPV screening and referrals may increase support for and identification of women experiencing IPV.

Background: A growing body of knowledge is questioning the timing of postpartum care (PPC) and suggesting a structural change. The primary aim was to evaluate individuals' satisfaction with additional PPC, and the secondary aim was to identify different needs postpartum.
Methods: This comparative study was conducted in six maternity clinics in Gothenburg, Sweden 2019-2020.
Description of Postoperative Void Patterns After Scheduled Cesarean Delivery Without Use of Routine Intraoperative Urinary Catheterization in a Large-Volume Safety Net Hospital.

Obstetrics and Gynecology, Denver Health, Denver, USA.
Background And Objectives: While urinary catheters are widely utilized during cesarean delivery, little evidence exists to support the practice, and it may be associated with increased risk of urinary tract infections and unnecessary intervention. In this study we aim to describe postoperative voiding patterns and assess the prevalence of complications in patients undergoing scheduled cesarean delivery without an indwelling intraoperative urinary catheter. Materials and methods: This is a prospective observational cohort of patients undergoing scheduled cesarean delivery at an urban safety-net teaching institution from April 2022 to April 2023.

Background: We utilised novel prenatal depression screening data in a population sample to develop a machine learning-based prediction model for postpartum psychiatric admissions.
Methods: We used health administrative data from Queensland, Australia, containing 945 clinical and demographic variables for 205,495 pregnancies between July 2015 and January 2021. Two machine learning algorithms, gradient-boosted trees and elastic net regularisation, were compared to predict postpartum psychiatric admissions occurring within 12 months of neonatal discharge.
Expulsion rates 12 months after early versus interval postpartum intrauterine device placement: a randomized trial.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Complex Family Planning, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM (Hofler).
Objective: The early postpartum period, 2 to 4 weeks postpartum, is an optimal time for intrauterine device (IUD) initiation; placement can be co-located with early postpartum or infant visits. We aimed to compare expulsion rates at 12 months postpartum for IUDs placed early compared to the standard interval 6-week visit.
Study Design: This is a randomized controlled trial conducted at four U.
