Objective: This systematic review aimed to evaluate oncologic and reproductive outcomes after fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) for early-stage cervical cancer (early CC). Data Sources: Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched from 1980 to the present using Medical Subject Headings terms; other controlled vocabulary terms; and keywords related to fertility, cervical cancer, and surgical techniques. Methods of Study Selection: A total of 2415 studies were screened, with 53 studies included. Studies reporting recurrences with a median follow-up of 12 months in early CC (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 stages IA with lymphovascular space invasion, IB, or IIA) of traditional histologic type undergoing FSS were included. Tabulation, Integration, and Results: The studies were grouped by intervention, including vaginal radical trachelectomy (VRT), abdominal radical trachelectomy (ART), minimally invasive radical trachelectomy (MIS-RT), and conization or simple trachelectomy (ST), and studies involving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Combined rates of recurrence (RR), cancer death (CDR), pregnancy (PR), and live birth (LBR) were calculated per procedure on the basis of all included studies that reported outcomes on that procedure. The results were as follows:

BACKGROUND: Perinatal practices such as breast-feeding, kangaroo mother care, rooming-in, and delayed cord clamping have varied by institution during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this systematic review was to examine the success of different practices in preventing viral transmission between SARS-CoV-2 positive mothers and their infants. METHODS: Electronic searches were performed in the Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Cochrane Library, EBSCOhost CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Studies involving pregnant or breastfeeding patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR were included. Infants tested within 48 hours of birth who had two tests before hospital discharge were included. Infants older than one week with a single test were also included. RESULTS: Twenty eight studies were included. In the aggregated data, among 190 breastfeeding infants, 22 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 (11.5%), while 4 of 152 (2.63%) among bottle-fed (Fisher’s exact test p = 0.0006). The positivity rates for roomed in infants (20/103, 19.4%) were significantly higher than those isolated (5/300, 1.67%) (P <  0.0001). There was no significant difference in positivity rate among infants who received kangaroo care (25%vs 9%, p = 0.2170), or delayed cord clamping (3.62%vs 0.9%, p = 0.1116). CONCLUSIONS: Lack of robust studies involving large patient population does not allow meaningful conclusions from this systematic review. Aggregated data showed increased positivity rates of SARS-CoV-2 among infants who were breast fed and roomed-in. There were no differences in SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates in infants received skin to skin care or delayed cord clamping.
