Gabapentin Descheduling Boosts Medicaid Use (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michigan’s removal of gabapentin from its controlled substance schedule in May 2024 was associated with an immediate increase of 4 prescriptions per 1000 Medicaid enrollees. The policy reversal suggests a reciprocal relationship between drug scheduling regulations and prescribing behaviors among healthcare providers. “These findings suggest that prescribers may be more hesitant to prescribe gabapentin under stricter regulations but that this hesitancy loosens once restrictions are lifted….

Bed Rest Persists in US Pregnancies Despite Guidelines (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bed rest and activity restriction (BAR) are recommended in nearly half of US pregnancies, with more than 1 in 3 low-risk pregnancies receiving such recommendations despite professional society guidance against routine use. Among low-risk pregnancies, lifting restrictions affect more than 20% of patients, while exercise and walking or standing restrictions each affect more than 15%. “This persistence is concerning given known harms of BAR including thromboembolism, bone loss, deconditioning, and
Magnesium Sulfate Timing in Preterm Delivery Misses Mark (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Among patients receiving magnesium sulfate for fetal neuroprotection, only 23% delivered within 24 hours of initial administration, with a median interval of nearly 8 days. When repeat administrations during the same hospitalization were considered, more than half delivered within 24 hours of any treatment course. “Latency varied according to the clinical indication for neuroprotection.

Mediolateral Episiotomy Cuts Sphincter Injury Risk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mediolateral episiotomy is associated with a 40%-46% reduction in obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) risk for patients without previous vaginal delivery undergoing operative vaginal delivery (OVD). In contrast, midline episiotomy more than doubles the risk for OASI in vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery and quadruples it in patients with prior vaginal delivery. "Mediolateral episiotomy was associated with lower odds of obstetric anal sphincter injury for patients without previous vaginal delive
Obstetric Unit Closures Double Rural Travel Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hospital obstetric unit closures are associated with a significant increase of approximately 14 minutes in travel time to the nearest obstetric service. Rural areas experience greater increases in travel time (approximately 17 minutes) than urban areas (approximately 10 minutes) after all in-county obstetric services are lost. “After hospital obstetric unit closures, travel time to the nearest obstetric services increased, especially in rural areas. The increased travel time presents a barrier t
