Abstract:
The ‘ C linical G uidelines for O bstetrical P ractice, 2011 edition’ were revised and published as a 2014 edition (in J apanese) in A pril 2014 by the J apan S ociety of O bstetrics and G ynecology and the J apan A ssociation of O bstetricians and G ynecologists. The aims of this publication include the determination of current standard care practices for pregnant women in J apan, the widespread use of standard care practices, the enhancement of safety in obstetrical practice, the reduction of burdens associated with medico‐legal and medico‐economical problems, and a better understanding between pregnant women and maternity‐service providers. The number of C linical Q uestions and A nswers items increased from 87 in the 2011 edition to 104 in the 2014 edition. The J apanese 2014 version included a D iscussion, a List of References, and some Tables and Figures following the Answers to the 104 Clinical Questions; these additional sections covered common problems and questions encountered in obstetrical practice, helping J apanese readers to achieve a comprehensive understanding. Each answer with a recommendation level of A , B or C was prepared based principally on ‘evidence’ or a consensus among J apanese obstetricians in situations where ‘evidence’ was weak or lacking. Answers with a recommendation level of A or B represent current standard care practices in J apan. All 104 C linical Q uestions and A nswers items, with the omission of the Discussion, List of References, and Tables and Figures, are presented herein to promote a better understanding among E nglish readers of the current standard care practices for pregnant women in J apan.
