Guidelines for obstetrical practice in Japan: Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Japan Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 2020 edition
Abstract
The 2017 clinical guidelines for obstetrical practice by the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Japan Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists were revised and published as the 2020 edition (in Japanese). The aim of these guidelines is to present appropriate standard obstetric diagnosis and management procedures that have reached consensus among Japanese obstetricians. The 2020 guidelines include 113 clinical questions and an appendix, followed by answers (CQ&A; originally 112 in the 2017 edition), a discussion, list of references, and some tables and figures presenting common problems and questions encountered in obstetrical practice. Each answer comes with a recommendation level of A, B, or C and has been prepared based principally on evidence or a consensus among Japanese obstetricians in situations where "evidence" is weak or lacking. Answers with a recommendation level of A or B represent current standard care practices in Japan. All 113 CQ&As and the appendix are presented here to promote a better understanding of the current standard care practices for pregnant and lactating women in Japan.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
