Congratulations everyone 2645 recruits to the observational study to help us understand sPTB risk in women with in-labour CS history in 39 sites across the UK! Well done Birmingham for top recruitment in 2021 closely followed by Bath @OBSevidence @kt2morris
We've only gone and done it! confirmation that we have enough data to answer CSTICH. Database lock Friday as we chase the last few. Only 6 forms out of 2048 unaccounted for. THANK YOU to all the HCPs and especially the women who made this happen.
Key message from Alan Jobe at #ukpretermbirth2021 re steroid administration in pregnancy summarised in this slide - beneficial for babies who are then born preterm, but not good for those born at term!
Big thank you to all sites for recruiting 2200 women with verified caesarean dilatation in 90% of participants! We are half way there now! @OBSevidence @LisaStory18 @JennyCarter_33 @PrenatalTherapy @crustymcrusty @SuffNatalie
Huge congratulations to @LisaStory18 on receiving an @NIHRresearch Advanced Fellowship! The award will support Dr Story's research looking to find a way to predict complications from preterm birth. Read more about the project at bit.ly/LSFellowship.
It is heartbreaking doing ward rounds of these pregnant women knowing vaccination could have prevented them getting so sick Young, fit women, many delivered pre-term We must continue to discuss the vaccine with each pregnant woman we see @nelson_piercy @anitaobsmed @RCObsGyn

Full paper just out. dx.doi.org/10.1111/aogs.1… If your preterm birth is preceded by an emergency Caesarean section, you are 10 times more likely to have a recurrence even with a cerclage in place. Please help recruit to the CRAFT trial.
Miscarriages are common. Vaccination should be common. They are not related. No evidence Covid vaccine raises risk of miscarriage, MHRA says theguardian.com/society/2021/a…
