Among available therapies, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) plays a pivotal role due to its immunomodulatory and antithrombotic properties, which may help improve pregnancy outcomes. Emerging evidence supports HCQ's role in reducing SLE flares, as well as lowering the recurrence risk of congenital heart block in anti-SSA/SSB-positive pregnancies. Additionally, in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies, HCQ may serve as an adjunctive therapy to mitigate obstetric complications, particularly in refractory cases. Despite early concerns about teratogenicity, large cohort studies and international guidelines affirm HCQ's safety at standard doses (≤400 mg/day), with no consistent association with congenital malformations. Recent research suggests that subtherapeutic HCQ blood levels during pregnancy may correlate with higher maternal disease activity and adverse pregnancy outcomes ,though their primary utility currently lies in identifying nonadherence. Given the heightened risk of pregnancy complications in this population, a clear understanding of HCQ's essential role is crucial for both patients and their multidisciplinary care teams. This review provides up-to-date information on HCQ in pregnancy to help guide clinical decision-making.","PeriodicalId":7574,"journal":{"name":"American journal of obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"308 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145031867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its real clinical impact is still poorly documented.OBJECTIVETo evaluate LIL impact on the postoperative recovery quality 6 hours after laparoscopic hysterectomy (henceforth 6H postsurgery) compared to conventional laparoscopy.STUDY DESIGNSingle-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, conducted between December 2019 and August 2023, evaluating different approaches for outpatient laparoscopic hysterectomies. Sixty-eight adult patients scheduled for outpatient laparoscopic hysterectomy were included and randomized into 2 groups: LIL with mini-trocars and low peritoneal pressure or conventional laparoscopy with standard-size trocars and higher peritoneal insufflation pressure. The primary outcome was recovery quality 6H postsurgery, assessed with the multidimensional Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale (PQRS). Secondary outcomes were: Analgesia Nociception Index-guided intraoperative remifentanil administration, intraoperative pain stimulation, postoperative pain intensity, opioid use, surgeon-assessed surgical conditions, adverse events, time to discharge and patient satisfaction.RESULTSTwo homogeneous groups were obtained. Protocol deviations attributable to surgical difficulties requiring larger instruments and higher pneumoperitoneal pressures to complete the intervention occurred in 6 LIL-group patients. Recovery quality 6H postsurgery was comparable for the LIL and conventional groups (respectively, 10/34 (29%) and 8/34 (24%) of patients recovered their preoperative PQRS values, p=0.58). The LIL group had lower intraoperative pain stimulation, with less remifentanil consumption. Postoperative pain intensity at rest and coughing, and morphine-requirement, adverse event, same-day-discharge and patient-satisfaction rates did not differ between the 2 groups. Surgical conditions were deemed poorer in the LIL group.CONCLUSIONDespite slightly less intraoperative pain stimulation, attesting to its minimally invasive nature, LIL did not appear to improve 6H-postsurgery recovery compared to conventional laparoscopy. Surgical conditions were rated poorer for the LIL group. LIL does not seem to provide any clinical benefit.","PeriodicalId":7574,"journal":{"name":"American journal of obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144960108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
