Journal Article
Wu. (2019). Planned early delivery or expectant management for late preterm pre-eclampsia (PHOENIX): a randomised controlled trial. The Lancet, 394(10204), 1181 - 1190. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736%2819%2931963-4

BACKGROUND: In women with late preterm pre-eclampsia, the optimal time to initiate delivery is unclear because limitation of maternal disease progression needs to be balanced against infant complications. The aim of this trial was to determine whethe... Read More about Planned early delivery or expectant management for late preterm pre-eclampsia (PHOENIX): a randomised controlled trial.

Chorionic and amniotic membrane-derived stem cells have distinct, and gestational diabetes mellitus independent, proliferative, differentiation, and immunomodulatory capacities (2019)
Journal Article
Wu. (2019). Chorionic and amniotic membrane-derived stem cells have distinct, and gestational diabetes mellitus independent, proliferative, differentiation, and immunomodulatory capacities. Stem Cell Research, 40, Article 101537. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scr.2019.101537

Placental membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with the advantages of being non-invasive and having fewer ethical issues, are a promising source for cell therapy. Gestational diabetes (GDM) alters the uterine environment and may affect the...

Prediction of pre-eclampsia: review of reviews. (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Prediction of pre-eclampsia: review of reviews. Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 16. https://doi.org/10.1002/uog.20117

OBJECTIVE:
Primary studies and systematic reviews provide varied accuracy estimates for prediction of pre-eclampsia. We undertook a review of published systematic reviews to collate published evidence on the ability of available tests to predict pr...

First trimester ultrasound measurements and maternal serum biomarkers as prognostic factors in monochorionic twins: a cohort study (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). First trimester ultrasound measurements and maternal serum biomarkers as prognostic factors in monochorionic twins: a cohort study. Diagnostic and Prognostic Research, https://doi.org/10.1186/s41512-019-0054-9

Background: Monochorionic twin pregnancies are high-risk of adverse outcomes, but it is not possible to predict which pregnancies will develop complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate, in monochorionic twin pregnancies, whether first trime...

Empirical comparison of univariate and multivariate meta-analysis in Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth reviews with multiple binary outcomes (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Empirical comparison of univariate and multivariate meta-analysis in Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth reviews with multiple binary outcomes. Research Synthesis Methods, https://doi.org/10.1002/jrsm.1353

Background: Multivariate meta-analysis (MVMA) jointly synthesise effects for multiple correlated outcomes. The MVMA model is potentially more difficult and time-consuming to apply than univariate models, so if its use makes little difference to param...
