RESUMO
The management of breast cancer during pregnancy (PrBC) is a relatively rare indication and an area where no or little evidence is available since randomized controlled trials cannot be conducted. In general, advances related to breast cancer (BC) treatment outside pregnancy cannot always be translated to PrBC, because both the interests of the mother and of the unborn should be considered. Evidence remains limited and/or conflicting in some specific areas where the optimal approach remains controversial. In 2022, the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) held a virtual consensus-building process on this topic to gain insights from a multidisciplinary group of experts and develop statements on controversial topics that cannot be adequately addressed in the current evidence-based ESMO Clinical Practice Guideline. The aim of this consensus-building process was to discuss controversial issues relating to the management of patients with PrBC. The virtual meeting included a multidisciplinary panel of 24 leading experts from 13 countries and was chaired by S. Loibl and F. Amant. All experts were allocated to one of four different working groups. Each working group covered a specific subject area with two chairs appointed: Planning, preparation and execution of the consensus process was conducted according to the ESMO standard operating procedures.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the use of simulation among French Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs. METHODS: A survey was conducted with all 28 French residency program directors. The questionnaire covered equipment and human resources, training programs, types of simulation tools and time spent. RESULTS: Of the cities hosting a residency program, 93% (26/28) responded regarding equipment and human resources, and 75% (21/28) responded regarding training program details. All respondents declared having at least one structure dedicated to simulation. A formal training program was reported by 81% (21/26) of cities. This training program was mandatory in 73% of the cases. There was a median number of seven senior trainers involved, three of whom had received a specific training in medical education. Most of declared simulation activities concerned technical skills in obstetrics and surgery. Simulations to practice breaking bad news were offered by 62% (13/21) of cities. The median number of half-days spent annually on simulation training was 55 (IQR: 38-83). CONCLUSION: Simulation training is now widely available among French residency programs. There remains heterogeneity between centers regarding equipment, time spent and content of simulation curricula. The French College of Teachers of Gynecology and Obstetrics has proposed a roadmap for the content of simulation-based training based on the results of this survey. An inventory of all existing "train the trainers" simulation programs in France is also provided.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether ultrasound assessment of fetal head position and station though head perineum distance (HPD), is more predictive of a difficult operative vaginal delivery (OVD) than digital examination. METHODS: Retrospective, monocentric case control study including all singleton OVD at ≥34 weeks gestation. The principal criteria for a difficult OVD were based on a composite criterion of: an OVD considered "difficult" by the birth attendant, and/or two vacuum device detachments if a vacuum was used, and/or change of instrument, and/or a cesarean delivery for OVD failure. RESULTS: Two hundred eighty-six OVDs were included, among which 65 (22.7%) were difficult. The area under the curve (AUC) for predicting difficult OVD according to fetal position from digital examination or ultrasound was 0.62 (95% CI: 0.54-0.70) and 0.66 (95% CI: 0.58-0.73), respectively. Regarding fetal station, the AUCs of HPD without and with pressure were 0.59 (95% CI: 0.51-0.66) and 0.60 (95% CI: 0.51-0.68), respectively. Factors associated with difficult OVD were posterior and transverse positions (OR: 2.931, 95% CI: 1.640-5.239; p= 0.0003), HPD without pressure (threshold of 37 mm, OR: 2.327, 95% CI: 1.247-4.245; p= 0.0080), and HPD with pressure (threshold of 17 mm, OR: 2.594, 95% CI: 1.230-5.429; p= 0.0114). CONCLUSION: Ultrasound assessment of fetal head position and station before OVD moderately predicts difficult OVD. Ultrasound assessment of posterior or transverse positions and HPD with a threshold of 37 mm (without compression of soft tissue) and 17 mm (with compression) were factors associated with difficult OVD.

OBJECTIVE: To provide national guidelines for the management of women with severe preeclampsia. DESIGN: A consensus committee of 26 experts was formed. A formal conflict of interest (COI) policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guidelines process was conducted independently of any industrial funding. The authors were advised to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE®) system to guide assessment of quality of evidence. The potential drawbacks of making strong recommendations in the presence of low-quality evidence were emphasized. METHODS: The last SFAR and CNGOF guidelines on the management of women with severe preeclampsia was published in 2009. The literature is now sufficient for an update. The aim of this expert panel guidelines is to evaluate the impact of different aspects of the management of women with severe preeclampsia on maternal and neonatal morbidities separately. The experts studied questions within 7 domains. Each question was formulated according to the PICO (Patients Intervention Comparison Outcome) model and the evidence profiles were produced. An extensive literature review and recommendations were carried out and analyzed according to the GRADE® methodology. RESULTS: The SFAR/CNGOF experts panel provided 25 recommendations: 8 have a high level of evidence (GRADE 1±), 9 have a moderate level of evidence (GRADE 2±), and for 7 recommendations, the GRADE method could not be applied, resulting in expert opinions. No recommendation was provided for 3 questions. After one scoring round, strong agreement was reached between the experts for all the recommendations. CONCLUSIONS: There was strong agreement among experts who made 25 recommendations to improve practices for the management of women with severe preeclampsia.

BACKGROUND: The Fetal Blood Sample (FBS) is used as an indicator of fetal acidosis during labor. Its place is discussed through the lack of randomized trials, as well as the limitations related to the technical procedure. An alternative could be the Fetal Scalp Stimulation (FSS). AIM: Our objective was to describe the FSS diagnostic value to predict fetal wellbeing defined from FBS. METHODS: The FSS consisted in a digital scalp stimulation for 15 s. Test was negative when an acceleration and/or a normal variability were elicited in the 2 min following. FSS was performed before each FBS which was classified as normal when pH was > 7.25. The diagnostic value was assessed by sensibility, specificity, positive and negative predictive values. FINDINGS: 148 women were included in our center from February to December 2019. Of the 191 FBS procedures, when accelerations were elicited sensibility was 58,3 (36.8-77.1), specificity was 67,5 (59.3-75), positive predictive value was 20,9 (12.5-32.9) and negative predictive value was 91.7 % (95 %CI, 85-95.5). DISCUSSION: FBS is considered as the gold standard in our study which could be discussed as it is abandoned in some countries because of its questioned reliability and the lack of controlled randomized trials. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that FSS could be an interesting alternative adjunctive test to perform in the first instance as it seems to be reliable, non-invasive and easy to perform in order to limit FBS only to absence of acceleration after FSS.

CONTEXT: Simulation-based education (SBE) has demonstrated its acceptability and effectiveness in improving ultrasound training. Because of the high cost of its implementation (investment in equipment and supervision), a pragmatic assessment of the transfer of skills learned in SBE to clinical practice and the identification of its optimal scheduling conditions have been requested to optimize its input. OBJECTIVES: To quantify the long-term impact of simulation-based education (SBE) on the adequate performance of ultrasound fetal biometry measurements (I). The secondary objective was to identify the temporal patterns that enhanced SBE input in learning (II). METHODS: Trainees were arbitrarily assigned to a 6-month course in obstetric ultrasound with or without an SBE workshop. In the SBE group, the workshop was implemented 'before' or at an 'early' or a 'late-stage' of the course. Those who did not receive SBE were the control group. The ultrasound skills of all trainees were prospectively collected, evaluated by calculating the delta between OSAUS (Objective Structured Assessment of Ultrasound Skills) scores before and after the course (I). Concomitantly, the accuracy of trainees' measurements was assessed throughout the course by verifying their correlation with the corresponding measurements by their supervisors. The percentage of trainees able to perform five consecutive sets of correct measurements in the control group and in each SBE subgroup were compared (II). RESULTS: The study included 61 trainees (39 SBE and 22 controls). Comparisons between groups showed no significant difference in the quantitative assessment of skill enhancement (difference in the pre- and post-internship OSAUS score: 1.09 ± 0.87 in the SBE group and 0.72 ± 0.98 in the control group) (I). Conversely, the predefined acceptable skill level was reached by a significantly higher proportion of trainees in the 'early' SBE subgroup (74%, compared with 30% in the control group, P<0.01)(II). CONCLUSIONS: The quantitative assessment does not support the existence of long-term benefits from SBE training, although the qualitative assessment confirmed SBE helped to raise the minimal level within a group when embedded in an 'early' stage of a practical course.

OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a customized variant for fetal biometry of the generic OSAUS score (Objective Structured Assessment of Ultrasound Skills) METHODS: The 5-points OSAUS METHOD grid was elaborated by defining five target skills specific to fetal biometry for each thematic item of the generic score. The level of skills of 43 trainees was prospectively assessed during an ultrasound examination by using this grid. The results of the "novice" level group (experience<10 ultrasounds) were compared to those of the "intermediate" level group (experience≥10 ultrasounds) (I). The reached/non-reached skills ratio within the different items composing the score allowed the identification of priority areas of improvement (II). Previously published distribution and actual distribution of ratings according to the generic pass/fail score were compared (III). RESULTS: Median scores of "novices" (n=29) and "intermediates" (n=14) groups were statistically different, 1.87 (±0.75) and 3.31 (±0.83) (P=1.85-5), respectively and corresponded to the pre-existing experience (I). A lower ratio of reached skill allowed the identification of "documentation of the examination" item as a priority area of improvement for both groups (II). The relevance of the pass/fail score is consolidated, even if an overlap was observed between novices and intermediates groups (III). CONCLUSIONS: The relevancy and feasibility of using OSAUS scoring method for fetal biometry are supported. In addition, the possibility of comparisons with generic OSAUS remains.

OBJECTIVES: To provide up-to-date evidence-based guidelines for the management of smoking cessation during pregnancy and the post-partum period. STUDY DESIGN: A systematic review of the international literature was undertaken between January 2003 and April 2019. MEDLINE, EMBASE databases and the Cochrane library were searched for a range of predefined key words. All relevant reports in English and French were classified according to their level of evidence ranging from 1(highest) to 4(lowest). The strength of each recommendation was classified according to the Haute Autorité de Santé (French National Authority for Health) ranging from A (highest) to C (lowest). RESULTS: "Counselling", including all types of non-pharmacological interventions, has a moderate benefit on smoking cessation, birth weight and prematurity. The systematic use of measuring expired air CO concentration does not influence smoking abstinence, however, it may be useful in assessing smoked tobacco exposure prior to and after quitting. The use of self-help therapies and health education are recommended in helping pregnant smokers quit and should be advised by healthcare professionals. Nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) may be prescribed to pregnant women who have failed to stop smoking after trying non-pharmacological interventions. Different modes of delivery and dosages can be used in optimizing their efficacy. Smoking in the postpartum period is essential to consider. The same treatment options as during pregnancy can be used. CONCLUSION: Smoking during pregnancy concerns more than a hundred thousand women each year in France resulting in a major public health burden. Healthcare professionals should be mobilised to employ a range of methods to reduce or even eradicate it.

BACKGROUND: Fetal biometry quality directly influences obstetrical care relevance. However, obstetrician proficiencies are heterogeneous in particular during initial training. OBJECTIVES: To assess the predictive value of OSAUS scale to identify operators with enough command to perform a valid estimation of fetal weight (EFW) (I). This study also assesses OSAUS intra-operator inter-exams variability (II) and pass/fail score relevancy (III). METHODS: Lecturers in Nancy University Hospital assessed trainees' proficiency for EWF systematically and prospectively through OSAUS scale. The trainee assessment was performed right after the one of the senior operator (reference EFW) on three consecutive patients during standard care ultrasounds. To ensure variability in proficiency within the sample, previous practice was taken into account during enrollment ("novices" and "intermediates" for<20 and 20 past exams, respectively). Correlation between mean OSAUS and validity of EFW (a valid EFW was defined by a difference with the reference EWF<0.8 Z-score) and variability between consecutive assessments were assessed. RESULTS: The study population was constituted of 8 "novice" and 8 "intermediate" trainees. Association between OSAUS and EFW validity was significant (P<0.03) (I). Intra-operator inter-exams variability was majored in the "novice" group (coefficients of variation were 25% vs. 10% in "novice" and "intermediate" group respectively) (II). Within the sample, specificity and positive predictive value of a pass/fail score OSAUS>3.5 to predict EFW validity were 77% and 71%, respectively (III). CONCLUSION: A 3.5 OSAUS pass/fail score could provide a relevant threshold to estimate operator proficiency in assessing fetal biometry in an autonomous and secure way.

Obesity represents a major public health issue and a potential threat for people health. Moreover, the incidence of obesity has been increasing and therefore, the incidence of women with an history of bariatric surgery with a pregnancy desire has been also increased. Although the weight loss after bariatric surgery has positive effects on pregnancy outcomes, these surgical procedures may be associated with adverse outcomes as well, for example micronutrient deficiencies, dumping syndrome, surgical complications such as internal hernias, and obstetrical complications such as small for gestational age as instance. Nevertheless, physician knowledge about pregnancy management after bariatric surgery is currently insufficient and a multidisciplinary approach is therefore mandatory. The aim of this article is to provide to readers general and recent data regarding the management of pregnancy after bariatric surgery.

Other methods of cigarette consumption include a variety of electronic products, as well as heated tobacco, snus and shisha. The questions in this chapter are: what other methods of consumption are used during pregnancy (either electronic or containing tobacco) and what is their prevalence? What is their benefit/risk balance? Can their use during pregnancy be proposed? Although the fetus is not exposed to the combustible toxins of tobacco, e-cigarette products may contain nicotine, which maintains the exposure of the fetus. Further research is needed on the other components of the electronic cigarette, such as flavorings and propylene glycol and/or glycerol, in order to assess the benefit/risk balance. In addition, some solvents contain ethanol. In the current state of knowledge, the precautionary principle should be respected and not recommend the initiation or continuation of the electronic cigarette during pregnancy (professional agreement). For smoking cessation or electronic cigarette cessation, it is recommended to provide the same advice and to use methods that have already been evaluated (professional agreement). For the JUUL, there are currently no data on obstetrical outcome when used. The use of shisha during pregnancy is associated with decreased fetal growth. It is recommended not to use shisha during pregnancy (GradeC). There are currently no data on the use of heated tobacco and obstetrical outcome.

Nicotine is the main addictive substance in tobacco and its addictive effects mainly involve dopamine. Nicotine is mainly metabolized (C-oxidation) in the liver to cotinine by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system. Nicotine half-life is short being about 2hours. Nicotine metabolism appears to be increased during pregnancy, mainly due to an increased cytochrome activity and maternal cardiac output. Thus, the smoking behavior of the pregnant woman is subsequently modified with an increase in withdrawal syndromes and an increased desire to smoke. These pharmacological elements should be taken into account when prescribing nicotine replacement therapy. Regarding the markers of tobacco intoxication, there is a good correlation between the importance of smoking and the measurement of expired air carbon monoxide. Although there is no evidence of decreased obstetrical complications related to its use, it is simple and non-invasive and therefore may be useful in routine practice. It gives an instantaneous value of tobacco intoxication, and represents a starting point for dialogue and management and can help to highlight the reality of withdrawal. Regarding the evaluation of tobacco addiction, the most commonly used questionnaires are the Fagerström tests (FTCD, HSI ), which are well correlated with cotinine concentration. However, there is insufficient evidence of their usefulness in reducing tobacco consumption during pregnancy to recommend them in current practice. DSM-V diagnostic criteria for addiction should be known as they can also be used to characterize the intensity of this addiction.

OBJECTIVES: To provide up-to-date evidence-based guidelines for the management of smoking cessation during pregnancy. METHODS: Systematic review of the international literature. We identified papers published between January 2003 and April 2019 in Cochrane PubMed, and Embase databases with predefined keywords. All reports published in French and English relevant to the areas of focus were included and classified according the level of evidence ranging from 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest). The strength of the recommendations was classified according to the Haute Autorité de santé, France (ranging from A, highest to C, lowest). RESULTS: "Counseling", involving globally all kind of non-pharmacological interventions, has a modest benefit on smoking cessation, birth weight and prematurity. Moderate physical activity did not show a significant effect on smoking cessation. The systematic use of feedback by measuring the expired air carbon monoxide concentration do not influence smoking abstinence but it may be used in establishing a therapeutic alliance. The use of self-help interventions and health education are recommended in helping pregnant smokers quit. The prescription of nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) may be offered to any pregnant woman who has failed stopping smoking without medication This prescription can be initiated by the health care professional taking care of the pregnant woman in early pregnancy. There is no scientific evidence to propose the electronic cigarette for smoking cessation to pregnant smokers; it is recommended to provide the same advice and to use methods that have already been evaluated. The use of waterpipe (shisha/narghile) during pregnancy is associated with decreased fetal growth. It is recommended not to use waterpipe during pregnancy. Breastfeeding is possible in smokers, but less often initiated by them. Although its benefit for the child's development is not demonstrated to date, breastfeeding allows the mother to reduce or stop smoking. The risk of postpartum relapse is high (up to 82% at 1 year). The main factors associated with postpartum abstinence are breastfeeding, not having a smoker at home, and having no symptoms of postpartum depression. CONCLUSIONS: Smoking during pregnancy concerns more than hundred thousand women and their children per year in France. It is a major public health burden. Health care professionals should be mobilized for reducing or even eradicating it.

PURPOSE: To compare fetal ultrasound measurements performed by two observers with different levels of experience and evaluate the potential contribution of the use of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound on repeatability, reproducibility and agreement of two-dimensional (2D) and 3D-derived measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two observers (one senior and one junior) measured head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL) in 33 fetuses (20 to 40 weeks of gestation). Each observer performed two series of 2D measurements and two series of 3D measurements (i.e., measurements derived from triplane volume processing). Measurements were converted into Z-scores according to gestational age. Variability between the different series of measurements was studied using Bland-Altmann plots and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC). RESULTS: Agreement with the 2D measurements of the senior observer was higher in 3D than in 2D for the junior observer (systematic differences of -0.4, -0.2 and -0.8 Z-score vs. -0.1, -0.1 and -0.6 for HC, AC and FL on 2D and 3D datasets, respectively). The use of 3D ultrasound improved junior observer repeatability (ICC=0.94, 0.88, 0.90 vs. 0.94, 0.94 and 0.96 for HC, AC and FL in 2D and 3D, respectively). The reproducibility was greater using the junior observer 3D datasets (ICC=0.75, 0.60 and 0.45 vs. 0.79, 0.89 and 0.63 for HC, AC and FL, respectively). CONCLUSION: The use of 3D ultrasound improves the consistency of the measurements performed by a junior observer and increases the overall repeatability and reproducibility of measurements performed by observers with different levels of experience.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether a history of spontaneous early-term birth (37+0 -38+6 weeks of gestation) in the previous singleton pregnancy is a risk factor for preterm birth (PTB) in a subsequent twin pregnancy. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: Two French university hospitals (2006-2016). POPULATION: All women who delivered twins from 24+0 weeks after a preceding singleton pregnancy birth at 37+0 to 41+6 weeks. METHODS: Multivariate logistic regression analysis of association between twin PTB and a previous spontaneous singleton early-term birth. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Twin PTB rate before 37, 34 and 32 weeks of gestation. RESULTS: Among 618 twin pregnancies, 270 were born preterm, 92 of them with a preceding spontaneous singleton early-term birth. The univariate analysis showed a significantly higher risk of twin PTB before 37, 34 and 32 weeks among those 92 women compared with those with a full- or late-term birth in their previous singleton pregnancy. This association remained significant after logistic regression (odds ratio [OR] between 2.42 and 3.88). The secondary analysis, restricted to the twin pregnancies with spontaneous PTB found similar results, with a risk of PTB before 37, 34 and 32 weeks significantly higher among women with a previous spontaneous singleton early-term birth, including after logistic regression analysis (OR between 3.51 and 3.56). CONCLUSION: A preceding spontaneous singleton early-term birth is a strong and easily identified risk factor for PTB in twin pregnancies. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Spontaneous 'early-term' birth of a singleton is a significant risk factor for future preterm births in twin pregnancies.

We aimed to provide comprehensive protocols and promote effective management of pregnant women with gynecological cancers. New insights and more experience have been gained since the previous guidelines were published in 2014. Members of the International Network on Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy (INCIP), in collaboration with other international experts, reviewed existing literature on their respective areas of expertise. Summaries were subsequently merged into a manuscript that served as a basis for discussion during the consensus meeting. Treatment of gynecological cancers during pregnancy is attainable if management is achieved by collaboration of a multidisciplinary team of health care providers. This allows further optimization of maternal treatment, while considering fetal development and providing psychological support and long-term follow-up of the infants. Nonionizing imaging procedures are preferred diagnostic procedures, but limited ionizing imaging methods can be allowed if indispensable for treatment plans. In contrast to other cancers, standard surgery for gynecological cancers often needs to be adapted according to cancer type and gestational age. Most standard regimens of chemotherapy can be administered after 14 weeks gestational age but are not recommended beyond 35 weeks. C-section is recommended for most cervical and vulvar cancers, whereas vaginal delivery is allowed in most ovarian cancers. Breast-feeding should be avoided with ongoing chemotherapeutic, endocrine or targeted treatment. More studies that focus on the long-term toxic effects of gynecologic cancer treatments are needed to provide a full understanding of their fetal impact. In particular, data on targeted therapies that are becoming standard of care in certain gynecological malignancies is still limited. Furthermore, more studies aimed at the definition of the exact prognosis of patients after antenatal cancer treatment are warranted. Participation in existing registries (www.cancerinpregnancy.org) and the creation of national tumor boards with multidisciplinary teams of care providers (supplementary Box S1, available at Annals of Oncology online) is encouraged.

The theme of human factors is becoming more and more prominent in the healthcare field. Indeed, despite their expertise, healthcare providers display the same limits, those of any human being working in a team, in a system that requires high-reliability. Error is inherent in all human activity. Therefore, the study of human factors makes a perfect sense. The aim of our article is to provide to readers general and recent information on the concept of human factors, and to introduce other related notions such as "error", "fault", non-punishment of error, leadership, crew resource management, situation awareness. Indeed, in some teams, a lack of situation awareness, a poor communication, or an inadequate leadership may lead to a deteriorated clinical situation, leading to a significant and unbearable risk to our pregnant patients. We have a lot to learn from other professional systems that require high-reliability such as aeronautic, military and nuclear field for example. Thus, understanding a teamwork running and the genesis of the errors, developing some notions as illustrated by non-punishment of the error occurrence, debriefings, maintenance of regular staffs, high-fidelity simulation may allow the teams to evolve in a safer system for our pregnant patients.
