Abstract : N/A: With the current issue, the journal continues to bring new insights from Cochrane Systematic Reviews to the readers of Obstetrics & Gynecology . This month, we focus on potential interventions to improve pregnancy outcomes for women with recurrent pregnancy loss and antiphospholipid antibodies, the utility of pelvic floor muscle training in the perinatal period to prevent incontinence, and the use of adhesion barriers in gynecologic surgery. The summaries are published below, and the complete references with hyperlinks are listed in Box 1. Box 1.
