ACOG 2026 annual meeting: Key trends in menopause, perinatal mental health, and maternal-fetal cannabis outcomes

Dr. Nanette Rowley, General Program Chair for ACOG 2026 (Washington, DC), highlighted strong engagement across sessions on menopause, emergency obstetrics, and perinatal mental health, alongside robust well-being programming. The first-place research award (McClain et al., Henry Ford Health) revealed diagnostic imprecision in intra-amniotic infection, with poor concordance between clinical criteria and placental pathology underscoring the need for standardized protocols. A Penn State study by medical student Arisha Tariq found 45% of THC-exposed neonates required NICU admission, citing prematurity, respiratory distress, and neonatal abstinence syndrome as key concerns.

To determine whether anthropometric factors and different domains of physical activity are associated with postural stability outcomes in children. Ninety-five children aged 7-18 years were enrolled in a cross-sectional observational...

Cross-sectional study found that postural stability in children is influenced by age, physical activity, physical education performance, and body weight, with overweight/obesity associated with poorer balance measures and sports participation potentially mitigating some deficits.

Clinicians should consider monitoring serum sodium in patients receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists, particularly when used alongside medications affecting sodium balance, such as thiazide-like diuretic agents.

Case suggests a potential association between tirzepatide and recurrent hyponatremia, particularly with concomitant chlorthalidone use, highlighting the importance of serum sodium monitoring during GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy.
