Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Patient-focused fertility care and IVF add-ons with Sarah Lensen, Jennifer Gordon, and Beate Muehlroth
Q: What does your work imply for clinicians and patients about decision making and end-of-treatment considerations?
Clinicians should support evidence-based decisions, help patients plan across multiple cycles, and provide tools that support informed choices and manage expectations, rather than pushing add-ons with unclear benefit.
Patient-focused fertility care and IVF add-ons with Sarah Lensen, Jennifer Gordon, and Beate Muehlroth
Q: Why was it important to update the Cochrane review now, and what were the key differences in your approach?
The literature is dynamic with many new trials; we incorporated 28 new randomized trials and added a trustworthiness checklist to exclude potentially unreliable studies, updating prior evidence on add-ons.
Patient-focused fertility care and IVF add-ons with Sarah Lensen, Jennifer Gordon, and Beate Muehlroth
Q: In this issue, what led you to publish two papers on IVF add-ons and how did you approach the topic?
We focused on ten common add-ons, found that most lacked robust evidence for improving outcomes, and highlighted three with some possible benefit, all while emphasizing the need for patient-centered, evidence-informed care.
Pascale Allotey and Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent on International Women’s Day
Q: What are the most important advances in women's health from the last decade, and what future developments do you anticipate?
Key advances include contraception and self-care options, rapid guideline updates for postpartum hemorrhage, improved screening and diagnostics, and the growing role of digital health and AI in supporting care while ensuring safety, dignity, and rights.
Pascale Allotey and Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent on International Women’s Day
Q: What does International Women's Day mean for the ICM personally and as an organization?
It serves as a unifying, strategic opportunity to advocate for midwives and elevate access to respectful, evidence-based care, framing midwifery as central to gender equity and universal health coverage.
