USPSTF Recommendation on Screening for Bacterial Vaginosis in Pregnancy

JAMA

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 2020

Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 202-572-2044. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.

Embed this link to provide your readers free access to the full-text article This link will be live at the embargo time and all USPSTF articles remain free indefinitely https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2020.2684?guestAccessKey=65882581-0679-4db4-895b-7179f28cdca5&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=040720

 

Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against screening for bacterial vaginosis in someone without symptoms and who is pregnant but not at increased risk for preterm delivery. Bacterial vaginosis is a common condition caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina and it has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including preterm delivery. The USPSTF found insufficient evidence to make a recommendation on screening those who are pregnant and at increased risk for preterm delivery.  The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this statement reaffirms its 2008 recommendations.

What The Study Did: Health care workers who come in close contact with a patient’s head and neck are particularly at risk for developing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because of the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) through respiratory droplets.

What The Study Did: Head congestion is one of the most common symptoms experienced by astronauts during spaceflight. This observational study examined preflight and postflight head magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of 35 astronauts who participated in either a short-duration (30 days or less) Space Shuttle mission or a long-duration (greater than 30 days) International Space Station mission. Researchers  investigated whether there were differences in the development of certain physiological changes of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells associated with symptoms of head congestion.
