Meta-Analysis Review
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis is to evaluate the impact of hysteroscopic metroplasty on adverse reproductive outcomes such as miscarriage, preterm birth, and fetal malpresentation in patients with history of infertility or previous poor obstetrical outcomes.
DATA SOURCES
A systematic electronic search from inception each database up to April 2021 including the following databases was conducted: PubMed-MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, the CGF Specialized Register of Controlled Trials, Google Scholar, and trial registries. A combination of the following keywords was used: uterine septum, septate uterus, congenital uterine malformation, class 2 uterus, class V uterus, metroplasty, hysteroscopic, pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy, miscarriage, live birth, preterm birth, cesarean section, 'cesarean delivery, and fetal malpresentation.
METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION
Studies comparing reproductive outcomes between women undergoing hysteroscopic resection of the uterine septum and those with expectant management were included. Eligible population consisted of infertile women, women with poor obstetrical history, or women without previous pregnancy failures and a diagnosis of septate uterus.
TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS
The systematic electronic search retrieved 1076 studies; after elimination of duplicates, 688 titles and abstracts were screened, and 55 were assessed for eligibility. Eleven studies were included in the quantitative synthesis: one randomized controlled trial and 10 observational studies involving reproductive outcomes from 1589 patients with either complete or partial uterine septum. The pooled OR for miscarriage was 0.45, (95% CI, 0.22-0.90). When the analysis was performed considering subgroups according to the type of septum, pooled OR in complete septum subgroup was 0.16 (95% CI, 0.03-0.78), OR = 0.36 (95% CI, 0.19-0.71) in the partial septum subgroup and 0.58 (95% CI, 0.20-1.67) in those studies not differentiating between complete or partial septum. No significant differences were found between the 2 groups in OR of clinical pregnancy, term live birth, or risk of cesarean delivery. There was a significant decrease in the frequency of preterm birth in patients who underwent partial septum resection (OR = 0.30, 95% CI, 0.11-0.79). This difference was detected neither in patients with complete septum nor in studies not differentiating between partial or complete septum. The risk of fetal malpresentation was also significantly reduced (OR = 0.32, 95% CI, 0.16-0.65).
CONCLUSION
The results of the present meta-analysis support that hysteroscopic metroplasty is effective in reducing the risk of miscarriage in patients with complete or partial uterine septum, although these data should be confirmed with a well-designed randomized controlled trial.

Facts, Views & Vision in ObGyn Mar 2024Congenital uterine anomalies (CUA) can be associated with impairments of early and late pregnancy events.
BACKGROUND
Congenital uterine anomalies (CUA) can be associated with impairments of early and late pregnancy events.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the impact of CUA on reproductive outcomes in pregnancies conceived spontaneously or after assisted reproduction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies comparing patients with CUA versus women with normal uterus. A structured literature search was performed in leading scientific databases to identify prospective and retrospective studies. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale, adapted to AHRQ standards, was used to assess the risk of bias. Pooled odds ratios (OR) were calculated. Publication bias and statistical heterogeneity were assessed, and meta-regression was used to analyse the heterogeneity.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
Miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, placental abruption, term, and premature rupture of membranes (PROM), malpresentation at delivery, preterm delivery prior to 37, 34 and 32 weeks, caesarean delivery, intrauterine growth restriction/small for gestational age, foetal mortality and perinatal mortality.
RESULTS
32 studies were included. CUAs increased significantly the risk of first/second trimester miscarriage (OR:1.54;95%CI:1.14-2.07), placental abruption (OR:5.04;3.60-7.04), PROM (OR:1.71;1.34-2.18), foetal malpresentation at delivery (OR:21.04;10.95-40.44), preterm birth (adjusted OR:4.34;3.59-5.21), a caesarean delivery (adjusted OR:7.69;4.17-14.29), intrauterine growth restriction/small for gestational age (adjusted OR:50;6.11-424), foetal mortality (OR:2.07;1.56-2.73) and perinatal mortality (OR:3.28;2.01-5.36).
CONCLUSIONS
CUA increases the risk of complications during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. Complications most frequent in CUA patients were preterm delivery, foetal malpresentation, and caesarean delivery.
WHAT IS NEW?
Bicornuate uterus was associated with the highest number of adverse outcomes, followed by didelphys, subseptate and septate uterus.

Meta-Analysis Review
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the reproductive outcomes of natural pregnancy after hysteroscopic septum resection in patients with recurrent miscarriage, primary infertility, or secondary infertility.
DATA SOURCES
The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) databases were electronically searched. The search time frame was from inception up to July 2021. The English search terms were (arcuate* and uter*), (sept* and uter*), (subseptate* and uter*), metroplast*, septoplast*, and resect*.
STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Selection criteria included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case series that explored reproductive outcomes after hysteroscopic septum resection in patients with recurrent miscarriage, primary infertility, or secondary infertility with or without a control group.
METHODS
The primary outcomes were the live birth rate and eventual postoperative live birth rate after hysteroscopic septum resection. The secondary outcomes were the clinical pregnancy rate, preterm birth rate, and miscarriage rate. Study-level proportions of outcomes were transformed using the Freeman-Tukey double-arcsine transformation to calculate pooled values for the postoperative rates; the counted data were analyzed using relative risk as the effect analysis statistic, and each effect size was provided with its 95% confidence interval. Heterogeneity between the results of the included studies was analyzed using the I test.
RESULTS
Overall, 5 cohort studies and 22 case series involving 1506 patients were included. In patients with a septate uterus and recurrent miscarriage, hysteroscopic septum resection was associated with an increased live birth rate (relative risk, 1.77; 95% confidence interval, 1.26-2.49; P=.001; I=0%), resulting in a postoperative live birth rate of 66% (95% confidence interval, 59-72), and septum resection was associated with a reduced preterm birth rate (relative risk, 0.15; 95% confidence interval, 0.04-0.53; P=.003; I=0%) and miscarriage rate (relative risk, 0.36; 95% confidence interval, 0.20-0.66; P=.0009; I=0%). In patients with a septate uterus and primary infertility, hysteroscopic septum resection was associated with an increased live birth rate (relative risk, 4.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-14.29; P=.03; I=0%) and clinical pregnancy rate (relative risk, 2.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-4.98; P=.04; I=0%). The postoperative live birth rate was 37% (95% confidence interval, 30-44), and the miscarriage rate of patients with primary infertility was reduced (relative risk, 0.19; 95% confidence interval, 0.06-0.56; P=.003). The efficacy of hysteroscopic septum resection in patients with secondary infertility was unclear. However, their postoperative live birth rate was found to be 41% (95% confidence interval, 2-88).
CONCLUSION
Hysteroscopic septum resection is associated with an increased live birth rate and a reduced miscarriage rate in patients with recurrent miscarriage or primary infertility, indicating that septum resection may improve the reproductive outcomes of these patients. The effectiveness of septum resection was unclear for patients with secondary infertility. These findings are limited by the quality of the included studies, warranting further randomized controlled trials, including only patients with recurrent miscarriage or primary infertility.

Meta-Analysis Review
INTRODUCTION
Septate uterus is a congenital malformation associated with adverse reproductive and pregnancy outcomes. It remains controversial whether hysteroscopic septoplasty should be recommended for the treatment of septate uterus, and it is also unclear if different hysteroscopic methods have more favorable outcomes. This study aims to compare the available hysteroscopic techniques of septoplasty for fertility, reproductive, and perioperative outcomes.
METHODS
This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. We searched Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane databases up to April 2023 without language restrictions. Eligible studies had to compare two or more different methods of hysteroscopic septoplasty in women with septate uterus and report on fertility and pregnancy outcomes after a follow-up. Perioperative outcomes were also examined. Data extraction was performed by two independent reviewers using a standardized form. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Form and Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (RoB 2).
RESULTS
Out of 561 studies identified, 9 were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The comparison of different hysteroscopic septoplasty techniques based on the energy used showed higher pregnancy rates after mechanical septoplasty in comparison to electrosurgery, while miscarriage and live birth rates were comparable. Laser vs. electrosurgery and mechanical techniques of septoplasty had comparable pregnancy, miscarriage, and live birth rates. The network meta-analysis after comparing every different method used showed significantly higher clinical pregnancy rate in scissor group in comparison to resectoscope. No significant differences were found among the techniques regarding miscarriage rate and live birth rate.
CONCLUSION
In summary, this systematic review and network meta-analysis suggests that hysteroscopic septoplasty with scissors is associated with higher pregnancy rates compared to resectoscope. However, the limited evidence available and small sample sizes in the included studies indicate that these findings should be interpreted with caution. Further studies are required to determine the effectiveness of various hysteroscopic techniques and guide clinical decision-making in the management of this condition.

Review
OBJECTIVE
Although the randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the efficacy of hysteroscopic resection in women with uterine septum has not shown any significant correlation in recent research, motivation for deeper study remains insufficient. In this study, the objective was to determine pregnancy-related outcomes, along with adverse obstetric outcomes, following hysteroscopic resection and also to determine whether women with hysteroscopic resection bear the same outcomes as women with normal uterine cavities.
SEARCH METHODS
From January 1995 to February 2022, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify all studies published concerning the gestation outcomes of women with and without hysteroscopic resection while comparing the gestation outcomes of women after hysteroscopic resection and with a normal uterine cavity. Our primary outcome was the live birth rate (LBR). The secondary outcomes were term delivery, preterm delivery, spontaneous miscarriage, malpresentation, cesarean section, and other adverse obstetric outcomes.
RESULTS
22 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The control groups of 14 studies were treated women, and the control groups of the other 8 studies were patients bearing a normal uterine cavity. Hysteroscopic resection was related to a higher rate of term delivery (OR = 2.26, 95% CI, 1.26-4.05), and a lower rate of spontaneous abortion (OR = 0.50, 95% CI, 0.27-0.93), and a lower rate of malpresentation (OR = 0.31, 95% CI, 0.19-0.50). Nevertheless, in comparison with the normal uterus group, the rates of preterm birth, cesarean section, and postpartum hemorrhage after resection did not return to normal levels.
CONCLUSION
Hysteroscopic resection can effectively reduce the risk of abortion and malpresentation in patients possessing a uterine septum while increasing the term delivery rate. Although well-designed RCTs should confirm our meta-analysis, it still bears recommending to patients.

BACKGROUND
The current treatment options for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) include burr hole drainage, twist drill drainage, and craniotomy with or without postoperative catheter drainage. Although generally effective, these treatments have continued to be complicated by recurrence, especially in partially hemolyzed or septated hematomas. Recently, interest in the use of fibrinolytic agents as an adjunct to surgical treatment to address this limitation has been increasing. We conducted a systematic review, focusing on the efficacy and safety profile of fibrinolytic agents and compared the different fibrinolytic agents.
METHODS
The PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL Plus, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for trials relevant to fibrinolytic administration in the treatment of CSDH. The findings are reported in accordance with the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses) guidelines. The data from 1702 subjects from 6 retrospective observational studies were qualitatively analyzed. In addition, we included 11 case series and reports for discussion.
RESULTS
For 1449 patients, the use of urokinase or tissue plasminogen activator improved hematoma drainage and shortened the hospital stay (7.04 days), with an overall hematoma recurrence rate of 1.59%. The incidence of infection, seizure, and intracranial bleeding was 3.18%, 0.80%, and 0.41%, respectively, which compared favorably with previously reported findings for surgical drainage without the use of fibrinolytic agents.
CONCLUSIONS
The routine use of intrathecal urokinase and tissue plasminogen activator could be a new direction in the management of CSDH. Conclusive clinical evidence is lacking, however, and further prospective controlled studies are warranted to confirm the benefit and safety of this treatment strategy and to identify the optimal agent and dosing regimen.

Review
Objective: we performed a systematic review/meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of septate uterus and hysteroscopic metroplasty on pregnancy rate-(PR), live birth rate-(LBR), spontaneous abortion-(SA) and preterm labor (PL) in infertile/recurrent miscarriage-(RM) patients. Data sources: a literature search of relevant papers was conducted using electronic bibliographic databases (Medline, Scopus, Embase, Science direct). Study eligibility criteria: we included in this meta-analysis all types of observational studies that evaluated the clinical impact of the uterine septum and its resection (hysteroscopic metroplasty) on reproductive and obstetrics outcomes. The population included were patients with a diagnosis of infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss. Study appraisal and synthesis methods: outcomes were evaluated according to three subgroups: (i) Women with untreated uterine septum versus women without septum (controls); (ii) Women with treated uterine septum versus women with untreated septum (controls); (iii) Women before and after septum removal. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for the outcome measures. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Subgroup analysis was performed according to the depth of the septum. Sources of heterogeneity were explored by meta-regression analysis according to specific features: assisted reproductive technology/spontaneous conception, study design and quality of papers included Results: data from 38 studies were extracted. (i) septum versus no septum: a lower PR and LBR were associated with septate uterus vs. controls (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.27−0.76; p < 0.0001; and OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.12−0.39; p < 0.0001); a higher proportion of SA and PL was associated with septate uterus vs. controls (OR 4.29, 95% CI 2.90−6.36; p < 0.0001; OR 2.56, 95% CI 1.52−4.31; p = 0.0004). (ii) treated versus untreated septum: PR and PL were not different in removed vs. unremoved septum(OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.49−2.49; p = 0.82 and OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.35−1.86; p = 0.62); a lower proportion of SA was associated with removed vs. unremoved septum (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.21−1.04; p = 0.001); (iii) before-after septum removal: the proportion of LBR was higher after the removal of septum (OR 49.58, 95% CI 29.93−82.13; p < 0.0001) and the proportion of SA and PL was lower after the removal of the septum (OR 0.02, 95% CI 0.02−0.04; p < 0.000 and OR 0.05, 95% CI 0.03−0.08; p < 0.0001) Conclusions: the results show the detrimental effect of the uterine septum on PR, LBR, SA and PL. Its treatment reduces the rate of SA.

Diagnostic Performance of Two-Dimensional Ultrasound, Two-Dimensional Sonohysterography and Three-Dimensional Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Septate Uterus-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
BACKGROUND
The septate uterus is the most common congenital uterine anomaly, and hysteroscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing it. The goal of this meta-analysis is to perform a pooled analysis of the diagnostic performance of two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography, two-dimensional transvaginal sonohysterography, three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound, and three-dimensional transvaginal sonohysterography for the diagnosis of the septate uterus.
METHODS
Studies published between 1990 and 2022 were searched in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. From 897 citations, we selected eighteen studies to include in this meta-analysis.
RESULTS
The mean prevalence of uterine septum in this meta-analysis was 27.8%. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were 83% and 99% for two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography (ten studies), 94% and 100% for two-dimensional transvaginal sonohysterography (eight studies), and 98% and 100% for three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (seven articles), respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional transvaginal sonohysterography was only described in two studies, and we did not calculate the pooled sensitivity and specificity for this method.
CONCLUSION
Three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound has the best performance capacity for the diagnosis of the septate uterus.

BACKGROUND
Cladosporium halotolerans is a saprobic fungus, rarely implicated in human infections. The identification is challenging due to non-specific phenotypic features.
OBJECTIVE
To decipher clinical spectrum, microbiological and susceptibility profile of clinical and environmental isolates of Cladosporium halotolerans.
METHOD
All the isolates identified as Cladosporium halotolerans deposited in National Culture Collection for Pathogenic Fungi (NCCPF), Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India were revived. Phenotypic and molecular characterization targeting internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA, large subunit of ribosomal DNA (LSU; NL1 and NL4), actin (ACT) and beta-tubulin (TUB) was done. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to determine any phenotypic variations. Antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) was carried out for eight antifungal agents as per CLSI M38 Ed3 guidelines. We also performed systematic literature review of all the cases of Cladosporium halotolerans reported till date.
RESULTS
A total of four isolates (clinical, n = 3; soil, n = 1) identified as Cladosporium halotolerans were included in the study. The clinical sites were skin, maxillary tissue and nail. All patients were apparently immunocompetent, and history of trauma was recorded in one patient. All patients improved on antifungal therapy. The cultures revealed growth of black mycelial fungus and microscopic examination demonstrated dematiaceous septate hyphae with erect conidiophores and conidia in branched acropetal chains. Based on molecular methods, all the four isolates were identified as C. halotolerans. SEM revealed no variation in length and width of the conidia, conidiophores, ramoconidium and hyphae among the isolates. All molecular targets, such as ITS region, LSU (partially sequenced), ACT and TUB were able to differentiate the isolates. Minimum inhibitory concentrations for antifungals were: triazoles (0.12-2 μg/ml), amphotericin B (4 μg/ml) and echinocandins (2-8 μg/ml).
CONCLUSION
We report role of the rarely isolated dematiaceous fungus, C. halotolerans, in causing human infections. The study emphasizes the role of molecular methods in precisely identifying these species. Triazoles are more active against these black fungi compared to polyenes or echinocandins.

Meta-Analysis
Obstetric Complications in Women With Congenital Uterine Anomalies According to the 2013 European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology and the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy Classification: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the risk for obstetric complications in women with congenital uterine anomalies and the risk in each main class of uterine anomaly (U2 [septate], U3 [bicorporeal], U4 [hemi-uterus]), based on the 2013 classification by the ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology) and the ESGE (European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy).
DATA SOURCES
MEDLINE, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception until January 2021. The reference list of all included articles and previous systematic reviews were also screened to identify potential additional articles.
METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION
Comparative and noncomparative studies that investigated the obstetric outcomes of women with any type of known congenital uterine anomaly were considered eligible for inclusion. Screening and eligibility assessment was performed independently by two reviewers.
TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS
Forty-seven studies were included. The quality of included comparative studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. Odds ratios (ORs), pooled proportions of each obstetric outcome, and 95% CIs were calculated in RevMan and Stata accordingly, using random effects models. Congenital uterine anomalies were associated with increased risk of preterm birth (OR 3.89, 95% CI 3.11-4.88); cervical insufficiency (OR 15.13, 95% CI 11.74-19.50); prelabor rupture of membranes (OR 2.48, 95% CI 1.38-4.48); fetal malpresentation (OR 11.11, 95% CI 5.74-21.49); fetal growth restriction (OR 3.75, 95% CI 1.88-7.46); placental abruption (OR 5.21, 95% CI 3.34-8.13); placenta previa (OR 4.00, 95% CI 1.87-8.56); placental retention (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.16-2.52); and cesarean birth (OR 4.52, 95% CI 2.19-9.31); when compared with those without anomalies. Pooled estimated risks were 25% for preterm birth, 40% for fetal malpresentation, 64% for cesarean birth, 12% for prelabor rupture of membranes, 15% for fetal growth restriction, 4% for placental abruption, 5% for preeclampsia, 13% for cervical insufficiency, and 2% for placenta previa. Classes U2 (septate), U3 (bicorporeal), and U4 (hemi-uterus) were also associated independently with preterm birth, fetal malpresentation, cesarean birth, and placental abruption.
CONCLUSION
Congenital uterine anomalies are associated with obstetric complications across all examined ESHRE and ESGE classifications.
