We will hear from maternal fetal medicine specialists and neonatologists affiliated with the PQCNC 39 Weeks Project as well as from the Ohio Perinatal Quality Collaborative. They will address criteria for scheduling delivery <39 weeks for some of the more common indications, such as hypertension and oligohydramnios, the pediatric perspective on increased complications seen in near-term infants, accuracy of gestational ages among scheduled deliveries <39 weeks, and results from the Ohio Collaborative's work since 2008 on reducing elective deliveries <39 weeks. There will also be a quick update of the 39 Weeks Project data showing trends from October 2009 through the end of March 2010.
