- W4311897321 abstract "This issue of ANZJOG marks the end of an era: this is the last issue of the Journal that will appear as a paper copy. The decision to transition completely to online issues was made in 2021 and announced in the February 2022 paper issue of ANZJOG, which I hope is sufficient notice for our readership. The decision reflects the fact that most reading of ANZJOG articles is now done online, either in individual issues or on EarlyView. There are also considerable financial benefits to the running of the Journal from moving completely online. The very first issue of ANZJOG, volume one number one, 1(1), published in March of 1961, was a slim publication, and for several years there were only four issues annually. That first venture into a completely Australian and New Zealand journal contained eight original articles and two short editorial comments. There was a predominance of male authors; there was no mention of ethical approval for any research; and the journal was exclusively a paper-based publication. It would be 30 years until details of ethics committee approval would be required from authors by scientific journals, and more than 30 before journals appeared online, firstly in conjunction with paper-based production, and now increasingly online-only. Two of the articles in 1(1) dealt with the care of Rhesus-negative pregnant women and the management of Rhesus isoimmunisation; two others concerned Stein-Leventhal syndrome, now renamed polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).1-4 In 1961 Rhesus isoimmunisation was managed largely by early delivery of affected infants. Sixty-one years later we manage Rhesus disease largely by prevention, with anti-D, and we have the ability, with non-invasive prenatal testing, to determine, as early as ten weeks gestation, whether the fetus is Rhesus positive or negative, but we remain vigilant, knowing that without anti-D prophylaxis, women could still give birth to affected children in future pregnancies. PCOS is now realised to be a common condition; the hormonal basis of the condition is well understood but the underlying cause remains elusive. So more than six decades later, these two topics, along with others in that first issue, including pelvic pain, determination of the position of the fetal skull during birth, and the management of leiomyosarcoma, are still of interest to ANZJOG readers.4-6 The current issue, 62(6), contains 17 original papers, with clear gender diversity in authorship, and details of ethics approval for all research studies. There is a systematic review, ‘Predicting postpartum haemorrhage - a systematic review of prognostic models’, by Carr et al.7 Although authors in the mid-20th century endeavoured to glean as much information as possible on topics of interest, they relied on the quite slow methods of personally reading books and journals in libraries, and attending conferences. The work of Cochrane and others in the 1970s and ’80s, the arrival of the concept of evidence-based medicine in the early 1990s, and the rapid growth of the internet since then, have made comprehensive systematic reviews and meta-analyses both feasible and accessible. In the 21st century the use of reporting guidelines such as PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) ensures that a systematic review provides all the evidence on a clearly formulated question, critically appraises relevant primary research, and extracts and analyses data from the studies included in the review, using methods that are both transparent and reproducible. ANZJOG now publishes at least one systematic review in almost every issue. We also include in this issue a Clinical Perspective, ‘Testing for Mycoplasma genitalium in pelvic inflammatory disease’ from Beesley and Thng.8 Clinical Perspectives enhance the role of ANZJOG in providing the evidence-based results of researchers and academics, as well as providing up-to-date experience and recommendations of clinicians in current practice; we publish several such articles every year. Scholarly articles in the first years of ANZJOG were often single-author didactic accounts of particular aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology. Gradually over the intervening years ANZJOG, like most similar journals, has become a journal of clinical research. In obstetrics, much of that research concerns either antenatal screening (in the current issue, for example, we find non-invasive prenatal testing for genetic conditions, screening for antenatal depressive symptoms and diabetic retinopathy screening)9-11 or prophylaxis (in this issue, for thromboembolism and post-operative infection following caesarean section).12, 13 In gynaecology, new techniques replace old – in this issue, outpatient hysteroscopy where once inpatient dilatation and curettage was used,14 and day-case total laparoscopic hysterectomy, unimaginable in 1960, giving good results where once open hysterectomy with prolonged inpatient post-operative convalescence was standard.15 However, pelvic pain remains enigmatic, as in 1961.16 Since becoming editor of ANZJOG in 2016 I have welcomed articles of opinion, evidence-based and well argued, in the Journal. This issue contains a fascinating Opinion piece from Koplin et al, ‘Ethical implementation of mitochondrial donation in Australia.’17 In March this year, the Australian parliament passed a Bill to allow the use of mitochondrial donation to prevent transmission of severe mitochondrial disease; mitochondrial donation uses sperm and ovum in an in vitro fertilisation procedure but the mitochondria are removed from the ovum and healthy donated mitochondria from a third person introduced, so the embryo, and ultimately the child, has in a sense three parents. Clinical trials of the procedure are ongoing in Australia. Koplin et al discuss important implications of the legislation, including differences from the legislation already in use in the UK, and for existing Australian legislation such as the Prohibition of Human Cloning for Reproduction (PHCR) Act 2002. ANZJOG can only function with the tireless input of our peer reviewers, whose expertise and willingness to contribute maintain the ongoing reputation of the Journal. Their names are listed on pages ?? and my heartfelt thanks go to them all. I also warmly thank all the members of the Editorial Board and the RANZCOG Publications Manager Sarah Ortenzio for their work for ANZJOG during 2022. With festive and New Year greetings to all our readers." @default.
