This method provides women who desire a vaginal delivery the possibility of achieving that goal—a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC). In addition to fulfilling a patient’s preference for vaginal delivery, at an individual level, VBAC is associated with decreased maternal morbidity and a decreased risk of complications in future pregnancies as well as a decrease in the overall cesarean delivery rate at the population level (1–3). However, although TOLAC is appropriate for many women, several factors increase the likelihood of a failed trial of labor, which in turn is associated with increased maternal and perinatal morbidity when compared with a successful trial of labor (ie, VBAC) and elective repeat cesarean delivery (4–6). Therefore, assessing the likelihood of VBAC as well as the individual risks is important when determining who is an appropriate candidate for TOLAC. Thus, the purpose of this document is to review the risks and benefits of TOLAC in various clinical situations and to provide practical guidelines for counseling and management of patients who will attempt to give birth vaginally after a previous cesarean delivery.","PeriodicalId":208056,"journal":{"name":"Postgraduate Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121512582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cutoff does not reflect a specific threshold for increased morbidity for the fetus or the mother; indeed, such risks begin to rise before 42 weeks. The terms “post dates” and “prolonged pregnancy” are often used interchangeably with postterm, but are not well defined, and usually refer to pregnancy past 41 weeks. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends avoiding these terms given their imprecision. However, there continues to be a significant gap among practicing obstetricians in both accurately defining this condition and managing the complications associated with it. Failure to address this gap may result in adverse neonatal and perinatal outcomes. The goal of this lesson is to update the practicing obstetrician in identifying and caring for these patients.","PeriodicalId":208056,"journal":{"name":"Postgraduate Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121526787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is estimated that more than 34 million Americans have low bone density, and 10 million suffer from osteoporosis.1 Approximately 80% of these people are women, the majority of whom are postmenopausal. The major morbidity and mortality that occur as a result of osteoporosis are secondary to long bone fractures. Hip fractures cause the greatest morbidity and mortality, and are associated with a 30% risk of mortality in the first year for men and 17% for women. Osteoporosis may also be associated with vertebral and forearm fractures, which can similarly affect quality of life and activities of daily living.2 There is a significant gap between the best-practice paradigm for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis and actual clinical practice. The goal of this lesson is to help the obstetrician-gynecologist to better understand the pathophysiology of osteoporosis and to apply these principles to ensure appropriate screening, diagnosis, and treatment of patients at risk for this debilitating problem.","PeriodicalId":208056,"journal":{"name":"Postgraduate Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114813733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
