Howard Herrell and Antonia Roberts explore evidence-based practices in obstetrics and gynecology, examining both established protocols and emerging research with critical perspectives on medical misinformation.

• Serial cervical length monitoring after LEEP procedures lacks evidence for improving outcomes despite being common practice
• SMFM's 2016 recommendation explicitly advises against routine cervical length screening for patients with history of cervical procedures
• Retrospective studies on induction timing require careful interpretation due to inherent biases in methodology
• Understanding the difference between intent-to-treat and per-protocol analysis is crucial when evaluating medical research
• Pseudoscience and alternative medicine have gained mainstream acceptance over decades through celebrity endorsements and media platforms
• Reusable surgical instruments like stainless steel uterine manipulators offer both economic and environmental advantages over disposable options
• Plus, Learn the history of The Green Journal's distinctive color
