Concerns persist that combined oral contraceptives or progestin-only pills may negatively affect psychological well-being or sexual function in endometriosis. Current evidence indicates these agents do not meaningfully worsen psychological or sexual outcomes and are generally well tolerated when pain improves.Noemi Salmeri, Martina Piccini, Francesca Caprara, Edgardo Somigliana, Paola Viganò, Paolo VercelliniFirst published: 12 March 2026 https://doi.org/10.1111/aogs.70183https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000412/0/0

In this retrospective cohort study, cesarean delivery under general anesthesia, but not under neuraxial anesthesia, was associated with a higher risk of a later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder compared to natural delivery.Aviv Ben Kish, Yair Binyamin, Analya Michaelovski, Gal Meiri, Idan MenasheFirst published: 11 February 2026 https://doi.org/10.1111/aogs.70150https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000412/0/0

Artificial intelligence applied to blind ultrasound sweeps offers a promising and scalable solution to improve access to prenatal diagnostics, especially in settings with limited availability of trained sonographers and conventional imaging infrastructure.Johanna Schott, Melanie Wilmes, Adeline Walter, Ruben Plöger, Ingo Gottschalk, Tanja Groten, Florian ReckerFirst published: 22 January 2026 https://doi.org/10.1111/aogs.70147https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000412/0/0

Endometriosis has been associated with chronic inflammation and an atherogenic lipid profile. Studies report increased risks of stroke and coronary heart disease in women with endometriosis, highlighting the importance of considering cardiovascular prevention strategies for these women.Iphigénie Cavadias, Lorraine Maitrot-Mantelet, Sandrine Perol, Mathilde Bourdon, Pietro Santulli, Louis Marcellin, Charles Chapron, Geneviève Plu-BureauFirst published: 27 November 2025 https://doi.org/10.1111/aogs.70104https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000412/0/0

Turner syndrome poses a rising global health burden, largely driven by population growth, with marked disparities between high- and low-SDI regions, underscoring the urgent need for equitable prevention, diagnosis, and care strategies worldwide.Xicui Long, Yong Hu, Mingjie Wu, Lijuan Yang, Wenjiao Jin, Xuesong HanFirst published: 07 November 2025 https://doi.org/10.1111/aogs.70082https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000412/0/0

Almost half of the cohort of endometrial cancer in women ≤50 has obesity. The prognosis in this cohort is generally excellent. Half of the deaths were due to non-cancer causes, emphasizing the need for a focus on overall health.Chrysanthos Ioannou, Cecilia Malmsten, Per Ehn, Erik Holmberg, Pernilla Dahm-Kähler, Karin StålbergFirst published: 14 November 2025 https://doi.org/10.1111/aogs.70095https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000412/0/0

There is a lack of data on outcomes following IOL for different medical indications. We found an increased relative risk of cesarean versus spontaneous vaginal birth after IOL due to large fetus, post-term pregnancy, preeclampsia/hypertension, and diabetes compared to PROM.Lisa Tangnes Leeves, Trond Melbye Michelsen, Anne Flem Jacobsen, Aslak Vimme Solhoff, Nina Gunnes, Ingvil Krarup SørbyeFirst published: 30 September 2025 https://doi.org/10.1111/aogs.70060https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000412/0/0

Maternal asthma and allergic predisposition are associated with an increased risk of congenital heart defects in offspring, particularly ventricular septal defects. The risk of ventricular septal defects is evident in cases of allergic asthma and atopy, but not in nonallergic asthma.Mari Kemppainen, Turkka Kirjavainen, Emmi Helle, Mika GisslerFirst published: 03 August 2025https://doi.org/10.1111/aogs.70032https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000412/0/0
