High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) self-collection is an effective strategy to increase uptake of cervical cancer screening; however, its effectiveness among unhoused individuals is unknown. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of HPV self-collection among unhoused individuals and to identify barriers to follow-up diagnosis and treatment.METHODSThis is a single-arm feasibility trial. Unhoused individuals aged 25 years or older were prospectively enrolled in Austin, Texas, at community resource centers. They were offered brief education about cervical cancer and the opportunity to screen with high-risk HPV self-collection. Samples were sent to a commercial laboratory for testing. Result notification occurred in person or by telephone. Participants with high-risk HPV-positive results were navigated to follow-up with colposcopy. All participants answered an exit survey.RESULTSFrom May to October 2024, 89 participants were enrolled, of whom 87 collected samples. There were six invalid samples (6.9%), two of which were recollected. Of the 83 valid samples, 21 (25.3%) were positive for high-risk HPV and 62 (74.7%) were negative for high-risk HPV. Only 46 of 87 participants who collected samples (52.9%) received their results despite multiple attempts to contact them. Of the 21 participants with high-risk HPV-positive results, four (19.0%) have undergone colposcopy. There were numerous barriers to follow-up care.CONCLUSIONOur results suggest that it is feasible to implement high-risk HPV self-collection among unhoused individuals; however, there are significant barriers to follow-up for those who test positive. Although high-risk HPV self-collection may improve cervical cancer screening rates among underscreened populations, follow-up diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions are necessary to prevent cervical cancer.

It contributes to chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and subfertility, resulting in substantial societal economic burdens. Genetic and environmental risk factors have been identified, and recent research suggests that endometriosis functions as a systemic disease affecting nonreproductive systems and increasing susceptibility to other health conditions. Various phenotypes-superficial peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriomas, and deep endometriosis-may develop under different mechanisms, yet the relationship between these presentations remains unclear. Diagnosis relies on clinical evaluation, imaging, and surgical staging, and the advent of advanced ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging has helped to enhance accuracy. Although medical management focuses on hormonal modulation to alleviate symptoms, surgical intervention remains a critical tool for refractory symptoms. Postoperative care and patient education are essential to manage recurrence and to improve quality of life. Current research emphasizes the need for comprehensive, interdisciplinary approaches to endometriosis management, incorporating novel diagnostic tools, diverse therapeutic avenues, and patient-centered care models. Addressing disparities in treatment access is essential to improving outcomes. To achieve this, recruiting and analyzing data from racially, socioeconomically, and geographically diverse cohorts will reveal how disease presentation and treatment efficacy vary across populations.

We recruited a national sample of obstetric care clinicians, patients, advocates, policymakers, and payers using maximum variation sampling. We explored core PATH domains, including 1) addressing social needs, 2) telemedicine and remote monitoring, and 3) targeted visit schedules. Participants were queried about their perceived barriers to adopting new recommendations and needed supports. We performed a qualitative content analysis to identify positive attitudes, concerns, and multilevel implementation considerations for each recommendation.RESULTSIn total, 102 obstetric stakeholders participated in nine focus groups from 10 obstetric care organizations, seven patient advocacy and equity organizations, nine policy and public health organizations, and four payer groups. Participants broadly supported the idea of care tailoring and raised important concerns about unintended inequities and negative health outcomes that could arise with inappropriate application of the model. Participants affirmed that addressing social needs is crucial to improving prenatal care access and pregnancy outcomes but identified barriers including insufficient resources and support for interprofessional collaboration. Telemedicine and remote monitoring were widely accepted to improve care access and efficiency, but participants worried that limited access to digital infrastructure could exacerbate existing health disparities. Although participants recognized that targeted visit schedules could enhance visit attendance, care flexibility, and resource equity, some worried about the potential for missed services and worse health outcomes. Across all recommendations, participants identified patient-, clinic-, and policy-level considerations to improve the implementation of new prenatal care models.CONCLUSIONPATH is an acceptable and feasible care model with the potential to improve the quality, equity, and efficacy of prenatal care. Multilevel implementation considerations must be integrated with routine use of PATH to promote sustainability across patient populations and settings.","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"153 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144652817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consistent with the previous recommendation, screening should continue through at least age 74 years, and age alone should not be the basis for discontinuing screening. To increase utilization of screening recommendations, the WPSI also issued a new recommendation to provide patient navigation services for breast and cervical cancer screening. To update its 2016 breast cancer screening recommendation, the WPSI found no new evidence of benefits and harms of screening. However, additional studies reported that gaps in insurance coverage contributed to incomplete follow-up after an initial abnormal mammogram for many women. For its new patient navigation recommendation, the WPSI evaluated 42 randomized controlled trials of patient navigation services for breast and cervical cancer screening and follow-up that showed increased rates compared with usual care. Patient navigation services involve person-to-person contact and are individualized to the patient's specific needs. Services include but are not limited to person-centered assessment and planning, health care access and health system navigation, referrals to support services, and patient education. The new recommendations are intended to expand breast cancer screening follow-up and to improve access and equity for cancer screening.

It is caused by aberrant fertilization and can be associated with medical complications or progress to postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Molar pregnancy presents with two distinct entities, complete and partial hydatidiform mole, which differ in their clinical, genetic, and prognostic aspects. Maternal age and history of molar pregnancy are the main risk factors for the occurrence of molar pregnancy. Early diagnosis of molar pregnancy by ultrasonography is associated with a decrease in medical complications but not decreased postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. After the diagnosis of a presumed molar pregnancy, patients should be referred to an expert with experience taking care of molar pregnancy or to a reference center for uterine evacuation and postmolar follow-up, which facilitates early diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Weekly human chorionic gonadotropin measurement is essential to confirm remission and to identify cases of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia that will require further treatment. To maintain the reliability of this tumor marker, hormonal contraception is indicated during postmolar follow-up. The postmolar follow-up should extend for 1 month and from 3 to 6 months after remission in cases of partial and complete hydatidiform mole, respectively. The reproductive outcomes after molar pregnancy are comparable with those of the general population, except for the higher occurrence of recurrent molar pregnancy, affecting 1.0-2.0% of subsequent pregnancies. The considerable psychosocial repercussions of molar pregnancy require a multidisciplinary approach to minimize the repercussions of this disease on mental health.","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144603851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
