Patients were categorized into VVI quartiles (quartile 1, least vulnerable; quartile 4, most vulnerable) based on census tract data across nine socioeconomic domains: public safety, transportation, social cohesion, environmental quality, housing, neighborhood resources, health care access, education, and income. The primary outcome was the occurrence of perioperative complications, classified as major, minor, or any complication, with the Clavien-Dindo scale. Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between neighborhood vulnerability and surgical complications. Additional analyses evaluated the association of specific individual- and neighborhood-level social determinants, with race included as a marker of structural racism exposure, and perioperative outcomes.RESULTSAmong 1,055,338 patients, 18.4% (n=194,002) experienced complications, including 4.4% (n=46,356) major and 16.0% (n=169,361) minor complications. Complication rates increased proportionally across VVI quartiles (P<.001). Major complications rose from 3.6% in quartile 1 to 5.7% in quartile 4; minor complications increased from 13.8% to 19.8%; and any complications increased from 15.9% to 22.5%. Higher VVI quartiles were associated with increased odds of major, minor, and any complications compared with quartile 1, with the strongest effects in quartile 4. After adjustment, the association remained significant for quartiles 3 and 4. Comorbidities were the strongest individual-level predictor. Black race, as a marker of structural racism exposure, was independently associated with complication risk across all VVI quartiles.CONCLUSIONWe demonstrate that VVI, a measure of neighborhood-level social vulnerability, is associated with perioperative complications at the time of hysterectomy for benign indications independently of individual-level factors. Patients in the two most vulnerable quartiles experienced poorer outcomes compared with those in the least vulnerable quartile. Racial disparities, particularly affecting Black patients, persisted across VVI categories, reflecting the compounded influence of structural racism and neighborhood inequities.","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145083633","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}

Molecular characterization of EC is pivotal to inform prognosis and to guide therapeutic recommendations. First described by the Cancer Genome Atlas, molecular profiling was later revised by the Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer and TransPORTEC algorithms to create clinically applicable and relatively easy-to-implement molecular classification systems. Since 2020, the World Health Organization recommended molecular classification of EC into four distinct prognostic subtypes: ECs with polymerase ε (POLE) pathogenic mutations assessed by gene sequencing, mismatch repair deficiency determined by immunohistochemistry or microsatellite instability assay, and p53 abnormalities determined by immunohistochemistry or next-generation sequencing. The final molecular subtype without any of these defining features is called \"no specific molecular profile\" (NSMP). This is further stratified by estrogen receptor (ER) immunohistochemistry status. Patients with cancers identified as POLE pathogenic mutations have the best prognosis with almost no recurrence or death events, followed by those with strong ER-positive NSMP cancers. Mismatch repair deficiency ECs have intermediate prognosis, whereas p53 abnormalities and ER-negative NSMP have the worst prognosis. Other molecular and pathologic biomarkers of interest include tumor mutational burden, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, L1 cell adhesion molecule, β-catenin (CTNNB1), and lymph vascular space invasion, which may have prognostic and predictive implications. The current guidelines will continue to evolve; however, at minimum, it is recommended that all patients undergo testing for mismatch repair, p53, and ER, and POLE testing may be prioritized in select circumstances. Molecular classification provides the critical framework to deliver effective, personalized, high-quality care and informs clinical trial design. Molecular assessment ensures consistent diagnosis and provides prognostic information and predictive data to guide appropriate management.","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145083298","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}

Thirteen state and local health departments collected data on pregnant or recently pregnant women with laboratory-confirmed mpox reported during August 1-December 31, 2022. Demographics, maternal health history, laboratory results, treatment, and pregnancy and infant outcomes were abstracted from medical records and linked data sources such as birth certificate data and Investigational New Drug registries.RESULTSTwenty-six pregnant or recently pregnant women with mpox in the United States were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Among 23 pregnant women with known outcome, 19 had live births, three of whom delivered preterm, and four had pregnancy losses. Fourteen pregnant women received tecovirimat to treat mpox under an Investigational New Drug protocol with no adverse effects reported. Two neonates were diagnosed with mpox within 2 weeks of life; in these cases, the mothers tested positive for mpox at 2 and 12 days after delivery.

The primary outcome was preparedness to return to sexual activity. Patients were considered prepared if they answered \"strongly agree\" or \"agree\" on a 6-point Likert scale to the statement, \"Overall, I feel prepared for resuming sexual activity after my surgery.\" Participants were contacted at 1-month intervals up to 6 months postoperatively; when they reported return to sexual activity, they completed preparedness and pain scales and the PISQ-IR (Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire, IUGA-Revised).RESULTSOf 186 patients, 170 (91.4%) completed follow-up and were included in the analyses. There was no difference in preparedness to return to sexual activity, at the time of returning to sexual activity within 6 months. However, there were differences noted 6 to 8 weeks after the intervention counseling. Patients randomized to intervention counseling reported higher preparedness to return to sexual activity (odds ratio [OR] 2.42, 95% CI, 1.03-5.65), lower likelihood of experiencing dyspareunia (OR 0.27, 95% CI, 0.09-0.86), and an earlier return to sexual activity (hazard ratio 1.46, 95% CI, 1.06-2.01).

Inclusion criteria included cervical, vaginal, vulvar, or endometrial cancer; anterior or total pelvic exenteration performed between January 2005 and March 2023; curative or palliative intent; and with or without laterally extended endopelvic or pelvic resection. Patients were excluded if they underwent posterior pelvic exenteration only or if preoperative computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET)-CT, or PET was not performed.

In patients treated with curative intent, total pelvic exenteration, positive surgical margins, and presence of lymphovascular space invasion were independently associated with worse disease-free survival. Performance of lymphadenectomy was associated with better disease-free survival. Total pelvic exenteration, positive surgical margins, and presence of lymphovascular space invasion were factors independently associated with decreased overall survival. Performing pelvic exenteration at time of persistent (instead of recurrent) disease negatively affected overall survival.
