The ObGyn Intelligence Scan: 1/30/2026
Your weekly newsletter of what you may have missed
Hi everyone,
First, a quick thank you to everyone who upgraded to ObGyn Intelligence+ this week. It is great to see so many of you committed to supporting independent data analysis.
If you missed the news: we have moved to a subscriber-supported model to allow for deeper, unbiased dives into the data. You can upgrade your subscription here.
The ObGyn Intelligence Scan: January 16, 2026
The goal here is simple: to filter the noise. On a regular basis, I review major medical journals and literature like from the the Gray Journal (American Journal of ObGyn), JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), The Lancet and British Journal of ObGyn (for international ObGyn News) and industry alerts so you don't have to. Below are several things you need to know before Monday morning rounds. Topics span clinical practice, ethics, and the gap between promised outcomes and real-world data. Some are free; others are for ObGyn Intelligence+ subscribers.
Our main feature this week:
Ectopic Pregnancy Still Demands Early Diagnosis, Not Guesswork
A new systematic review in AJOG suggests that evaluating reported penicillin allergy during pregnancy is safe and may improve antibiotic care, but real-world implementation still needs work.
Housekeeping Note: If you are a paid subscriber, you now have full access to the ObGyn Intelligence+ posts and the comments section on all these posts. I’ll be checking in over the weekend to answer questions.
Have a great weekend,
Amos
