Do laborists improve delivery outcomes for laboring women in California community hospitals?
The researchers sought to determine the impact of the laborists staffing model on cesarean rates and maternal morbidity in California community hospitals. They were unable to demonstrate differences in cesarean and maternal childbirth complication rates in community hospitals with and without laborists.

Association of adverse pregnancy outcomes with glyburide vs insulin in women with gestational diabetes.
The purpose of this study was to estimate the risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes among women receiving glyburide compared with insulin for the treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a US population-based cohort. It found an association between glyburide (compared with insulin) and elevated risk of NICU admission, neonatal hypoglycemia, respiratory distress, birth injury, and large for gestational age in women with GDM.

Variations in postdelivery infection and thrombosis by hospital teaching status.
The researchers examined hospital-level variation overall and by teaching status in 2 maternal outcomes, postpartum infections, and thrombosis. They found substantial variation in infection and thrombosis rates among hospitals both overall and by teaching status, suggesting that these 2 outcomes may be useful measures of inpatient obstetric quality.
