The Cochrane database was searched for systematic reviews about endometriosis. The ESHRE guidelines were also included. A search of the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology “BJOG”, and the Journal of Minimal Invasive Gynaecology “JMIG” individual database for articles about surgical management of endometriosis was done.

Ética clínica en la práctica ginecobstétrica

Este es el tercer simposio sobre ética que publica la Revista Peruana de Ginecología y Obstetricia (RPGO) en los últimos 11 años, en la seguridad de la importancia que tiene esta disciplina en el quehacer del médico, en particular del ginecobstetra(1,2). Asimismo, la Sociedad Peruana de Obstetricia y Ginecología (SPOG), por la importancia que le asigna al tema, llevó adelante un certamen en el año 2009, conjuntamente con el Colegio Médico (CMP), en el cual se destacó diferentes temas de la ética frente a la salud sexual y reproductiva(3). En el mismo año, fue parte de un Taller sobre Clarificación de Valores, en Trinidad, Bolivia(4).

Endometriosis, Psychiatric Disorders May Raise the Risk of One Another

Endometriosis, Psychiatric Disorders May Raise the Risk of One Another

A REDCap-based model for electronic consent (eConsent): Moving toward a more personalized consent.

The updated common rule, for human subjects research, requires that consents "begin with a 'concise and focused' presentation of the key information that will most likely help someone make a decision about whether to participate in a study" (Menikoff, Kaneshiro, Pritchard. The New England Journal of Medicine. 2017; 376(7): 613-615.). We utilized a community-engaged technology development approach to inform feature options within the REDCap software platform centered around collection and storage of electronic consent (eConsent) to address issues of transparency, clinical trial efficiency, and regulatory compliance for informed consent (Harris, et al. Journal of Biomedical Informatics 2009; 42(2): 377-381.). eConsent may also improve recruitment and retention in clinical research studies by addressing: (1) barriers for accessing rural populations by facilitating remote consent and (2) cultural and literacy barriers by including optional explanatory material (e.g., defining terms by hovering over them with the cursor) or the choice of displaying different videos/images based on participant's race, ethnicity, or educational level (Phillippi, et al. Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, & Neonatal Nursing. 2018; 47(4): 529-534.). We developed and pilot tested our eConsent framework to provide a personalized consent experience whereby users are guided through a consent document that utilizes avatars, contextual glossary information supplements, and videos, to facilitate communication of information. The eConsent framework includes a portfolio of eight features, reviewed by community stakeholders, and tested at two academic medical centers. Early adoption and utilization of this eConsent framework have demonstrated acceptability. Next steps will emphasize testing efficacy of features to improve participant engagement with the consent process.

ПСИХОЛОГІЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ОБРАЗУ Я ВАГІТНИХ

Статтю присвячено вивченню психологічних особливостей образу Я вагітних, що перебувають на різних термінах вагітності. Образ Я розглянуто як установку особистості щодо себе, складно структуроване та динамічне утворення особистості. В структурі образу Я виділено когнітивний, емоційно-оціночний, поведінковий, соціально-перцептивний аспекти та визначено їх функції. Зазначено, що формування та становлення образу Я відбувається в процесі життя, а під час вагітності значно трансформується, переходячи від образу «Я – вагітна» до образу «Я – мати», а потім – «Я і дитина».Розглянуто психологічний бік змін в ідентичності вагітних. В результаті проведеного дослідження визначено особливості емоційно-оціночного аспекту образу Я вагітних, а саме виявлено наступні особливості: виражене позитивне самоставлення і самовпевненість; середній рівень поваги до себе, аутосимпатії та самоприйняття; більшість вагітних виявили самопослідовність, самоінтерес і низький рівень самообвинувачення. Констатовано високий рівень самооцінки вагітними здоров’я, зовнішності, впевненості у собі; адекватна оцінка розуму, здібностей, характеру та загальна самооцінка. У діапазоні соціально-перцептивного аспекту з’ясовано, що найбільш вираженими є середні показники оцінки ставлення, особистісна ідентичність, емоційно-позитивна форма позначення статі. Констатовано, що для більшості вагітних сексуальна роль та учбово-професійна не є важливими у даний період, натомість велике значення має сімейна приналежність. У рамках когнітивного аспекту виявлено, що серед вагітних переважають жінки з: емоційно-полярним типом особистості, високим рівнем рефлексії, позитивними ідентифікаційними характеристиками, вираженою сімейною та персональною перспективою. Для більшості досліджуваних найбільше значення мала сфера сім’ї, вагомим для досліджуваних був також фізичний образ. В межах поведінкового аспекту більшості досліджуваних жінок діагностовано здатність сконцентруватись на собі, стриманість, виваженість вчинків, дипломатичність, уміння працювати зі своєю напругою, зберігати емоційну стійкість. Встановлено, що відчуття безпеки, довіри, впевненості, низький рівень тривоги, ворожості та конфліктності властиві більшості досліджуваних.

796: Evaluating the racial and ethnic distribution of study participants in published Ob/Gyn randomized controlled trials

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard in evaluating cause-effect relationships as they eliminate bias and minimize confounding factors. The generalizability of the findings in RCTs depends on the extent to which the study’s population reflects the general population. The objective of this research was to examine a cohort of RCTs and determine the degree to which the distributions of ethnic populations are correctly represented. A retrospective review was conducted on all RCTs published in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Journal (The Green Journal) from 1990-2018 and the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology(AJOG) from 1993-2018. For each journal, studies that met inclusion criteria (performed in the US and contained participant racial/ethnic information) were categorized as “obstetric” or “gynecologic” and were analyzed separately. Subjects of the included RCTs were separated into four ethnic groups (Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and Other) and then compared to the general US population. 41% of papers were gynecologic and 59% were obstetric (n=140). The averages of each ethnic group for obstetrics and gynecology papers were calculated. c-square analysis depicted no difference between US demographic data and ethnic distribution for gynecologic papers (p=0.50) but demonstrated a significant deviation for obstetric papers (p< 0.001, Table 1). Furthermore, the obstetrics papers demonstrate an overrepresentation of the Non-Hispanic Black population and an under-representation of the Non-Hispanic White population. When analyzing two of the leading journals in the field, we found that published gynecologic papers revealed a study population similar to that of the general US. However, interestingly, the distribution of subjects included in the obstetrics papers was shown to be less representative. While the reason for this deviation from general US demographics is unclear, based on these results, readers should be cautious of their interpretation of these RCTs and their generalizability.
