The current acceleration in medical discoveries parallels Moore’s law for
computer chips. In the 1950s, medical knowledge doubled every 50 years, by
the 1980s it doubled every seven years, and now medical knowledge is
estimated to double about every two months (Densen 2011). How can busy
obstetricians keep pace? Through seven editions, Protocols for High‐Risk Pregnancies
has helped address this exact challenge. Providing just‐in‐time content, its focus
on protocols and guidelines helps organize medical thinking, avoid heuristic
errors of omission and commission, and optimize maternal and fetal outcomes.
As with the prior six editions, we have once again assembled some of theworld’s top obstetrical and medical experts. Concomitantly, the seventh
edition adds a number of new features including protocols on opioid use, misuse
and addiction in pregnancy and postpartum, noninvasive prenatal diagnosis
of aneuploidy, periconceptional genetic screening, and expanded protocols
on maternal valvular heart disease and cardiomyopathies; we have also added
protocols on arboviruses including Zika, and malaria, to reflect new technologies,
changing clinical disease patterns, and emerging global pathogens.
As in prior editions, our focus has been on conducting a comprehensivesurvey of recent relevant literature to extract the most current evidencebased
practices and then presenting them with concise, focused text and
crystal‐clear clinical paradigms. In areas where there are reasonable clinical
alternatives, where no single compelling randomized clinical trial or a clear
metaanalytical preference is available, we have again asked the authors to
use their best judgment to make recommendations.
