Retrospective cohort study of 563 preterm inductions (29–36 weeks). Prostaglandins associated with lowest caesarean rates (10.7% vs 30.4% balloon catheter + oxytocin, 21.5% oxytocin alone). No significant differences in adverse neonatal outcomes across groups.

Retrospective cohort of 185 pregnant women who had appendectomy vs 555 controls. Preterm delivery higher in appendectomy group (11.9% vs 5.4%). Negative appendectomies carried higher preterm risk than inflamed cases. Appendectomy itself was the sole significant risk factor (OR 2.3).

Study of 217 pregnancies (34–37 weeks) comparing GBS carriers (98) vs non-carriers (119). No significant difference in chorioamnionitis, neonatal fever, or adverse outcomes. Expectant management with antibiotic prophylaxis appears safe for GBS-colonized women with late PPROM.
