Background: Nocturia is a common and highly troubled lower urinary tract symptom, which has a wide range of effects. About 33% of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms have been affected by nocturia. Nocturia is mainly manifested as the increase of urination frequency and urine volume at night. It has been proved that acupuncture can reduce the symptoms of nocturia and regulate bladder function in Western countries. Acupuncture may be a promising choice for the treatment of nocturia. Methods: RCTs of acupuncture for nocturia will be searched in the relevant database, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Chinese Scientific Journal Database. The studies of electronic searches will be exported to EndNote V.9.1 software. We will run meta-analyses using the Review Manager (RevMan) V.5.3 software. Any disagreement will be solved in consultation with a third reviewer. Results: Our study aims to explore the efficacy of acupuncture for nocturia and to provide up-to-date evidence for clinical of nocturia. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study will provide evidence for the efficacy of acupuncture treatment of nocturia. INPLASY registration number: INPLASY202130100.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, and eclampsia, complicates up to 5%-10% of pregnancies worldwide, constituting one of the greatest causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. 1 HDP has a major effect on maternal, fetal, and newborn outcomes, including maternal systemic disorders (i.e.

Objective Aim of this study was to identify risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes in neonates born to mothers with noninfectious intrapartum hyperthermia. Study Design A retrospective study was conducted of 460 singleton deliveries diagnosed with noninfectious intrapartum hyperthermia. Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between ante- and intrapartum risk factors and neonatal outcomes. Results The 460 singleton pregnant women were 19 to 43 years of age. They developed an intrapartum temperature of ≥37.5°C somewhere between 340/7 to 414/7 weeks' gestation; 437 (95%) were nulliparous. Meconium-stained amniotic fluid was associated with positive pressure ventilation or intubation ventilation (odds ratio [OR] = 5.940, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.038–17.318), birth depression (OR = 6.288, 95% CI: 2.273–17.399), and wet lung (OR = 2.747, 95% CI: 1.322–5.709). Induction of labor with artificial rupture of membranes (AROM; OR = 2.632, 95% CI: 1.325–5.228) was associated with neonatal infections. Maternal temperature ≥ 38°C was associated with neonate's artery blood gas pH < 7.3 (OR = 2.366, 95%CI: 1.067–5.246) and wet lung (OR = 2.909, 95% CI: 1.515–5.586). Maternal elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) was associated with neonatal infections (OR = 1.993, 95% CI: 1.260–3.154) and wet lung (OR = 2.600, 95% CI: 1.306–5.178). Conclusion Meconium-stained amniotic fluid, induction of labor, maternal temperature ≥ 38°C, and elevated CRP during labor were risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes.
