Peri-implantitis, a common biological complication of dental implant, has attracted considerable attention due to its increasing prevalence and limited treatment efficacy. Previous studies have reported several risk factors associated with the onset of peri-implantitis (eg, history of periodontitis, poor plaque control and smoking). However, inadequate data are available on the association between these risk factors and successful outcome after peri-implantitis therapy. This prospective cohort study aims to identify the local and systemic predictive factors for the treatment success of peri-implantitis.

A single-centre cohort study will be conducted by recruiting 275 patients diagnosed with peri-implantitis. Sociodemographic variables, healthy lifestyles and systemic disorders will be obtained using questionnaires. In addition, clinical and radiographic examinations will be conducted at baseline and follow-up visits. Treatment success is defined as no bleeding on probing on more than one point, no suppuration, no further marginal bone loss (≥0.5 mm) and probing pocket depth ≤5 mm at the 12-month follow-up interval. After adjustment for age, sex and socioeconomic status, potential prognostic factors related to treatment success will be identified using multivariable logistic regression models.

This cohort study in its current version (2.0, 15 July 2022) is in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Stomatological Hospital, Southern Medical University (EC-CT-(2022)34). The publication will be on behalf of the study site.

To determine whether integrated maternity care is associated with reduced preterm births (PTB) and fewer small-for-gestational-age infants (SGA), and whether its implementation leads to a reduction of secondary care consultations.

Retrospective study.

Integrated maternity care organisation in the southwestern region of the Netherlands.

All singleton pregnancies (≥24 weeks) within integrated maternity care organisation Annature between 2015 and 2020.

Implementation of a shared maternity record in primary and secondary care.

Data of 20 818 women were derived from patient records and from the Netherlands Perinatal Registry. Intervention was the introduction of integrated maternity care in January 2018. Through multivariate logistic regression and segmented regression analysis we assessed the combined prevalence of SGA and PTB (SGA-PTB) before (2015–2017), and after the intervention (2018–2020). Regional rates were contrasted with nationwide rates (n=782 176).

SGA-PTB prevalence and mean number of secondary care consultations per pregnancy.

SGA-PTB prevalence declined from 618/3443 (17.9%) in 2015 to 560/3501 (16.0%) in 2017 to 507/3459 (14.7%) in 2020 (p

Our results suggest that implementation of integrated maternity care was associated with reduced PTBs and/or low birth weight, and fewer secondary care consultations. These encouraging findings were observed in a less favourable sociodemographic profile and should be confirmed in other regions with sufficiently large populations, and the possibility to test individual components of integrated maternity care.
