recommends that patients who exhibit an EDH that measures less than 30 mL, is less than 15
mm thick, and has less than 5-mm midline shift, with no focal neurologic deficit and with GCS
greater than 8, can be treated nonoperatively. NO GLUCOCORTICOIDS

Preterm labor management

Risk factors include prior spontaneous preterm delivery, short interpregnancy interval (eg, <6-18
months), and genitourinary tract infection (eg, group B Streptococcus [GBS], Chlamydia
trachomatis).

Magnesium sulphate to decrease the risk of cerebral palsy, which is highest in infants delivered
at <32 weeks gestation.

Indomethacin is the first-line treatment at <32 weeks gestation because of its high efficacy and
few maternal adverse effects; as gestational age increases, however, indomethacin poses
greater fetal risks (eg, premature closure of the ductus arteriosus). Therefore, nifedipine is
preferred between 32 and 34 weeks gestation
Primary amenorrhea
Ovarian Ca screening

This is because the risk for ovarian cancer in the general population is low (~1.4%). In contrast,
the risk for ovarian cancer significantly increases with familial cancer syndromes such as
BRCA1 (~40%), BRCA2 (~20%), and Lynch syndrome (~8%).

Endometrial biopsy is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of endometrial cancer due to
its high sensitivity and specificity. However, in postmenopausal women, a transvaginal
ultrasound may be performed initially; women with an endometrial thickness ≤4 mm have a low
likelihood of endometrial cancer and require no additional evaluation. In contrast, women with
an endometrial thickness of >4 mm require an endometrial biopsy because the likelihood of
endometrial cancer is increased.

PPROM

Prophylactic latency antibiotics: PPROM is commonly due to a subclinical intraamniotic


infection, and latency antibiotics prevent the infection from becoming fulminant, thereby
increasing the time interval between membrane rupture and delivery (ie, prolong latency).

Antenatal corticosteroids (eg, betamethasone): These are administered to promote fetal lung
maturation (eg, pneumocyte development, surfactant release), thereby reducing neonatal
morbidity and mortality.
