To report maternal, obstetric, and neonatal outcomes from the Baylor University Medical Center uterus transplant program.
Key Findings:
31 live births occurred in 27 uterus transplant recipients, with 4 women delivering twins.
Clarify that maternal medical complications were reported in 30% of women who had live births.
Interpretation:
Uterus transplant is a feasible reproductive option for women with uterine-factor infertility, with generally favorable outcomes despite some maternal complications (e.g., gestational diabetes, hypertension) and obstetric complications (e.g., preterm labor).
Limitations:
Findings reflect a single-center experience, limiting generalizability to broader populations and settings.
Access to uterus transplant requires substantial time and resources, which may not be available in all healthcare systems.
Conclusion:
The data support the feasibility of uterus transplant in specialized centers, highlighting the need for ongoing reporting and data sharing to refine risk estimates.
Recent CDC advisories, testing updates, and immunization recommendations highlight developments in infectious diseases, immunization, and diagnostic testing relevant to physicians across multiple specialties.
