OpenEvidence retrieves and summarizes evidence. It is not a peer-reviewed journal. Check every answer against the cited studies, current guidelines, and your patient. The ACOG collaboration is a strong credential. It does not validate each AI-generated answer.

How ACOOG selects and presents what you find here.
The American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOOG) provides this directory to support evidence-based practice, lifelong learning, and scholarly inquiry. We select resources for scientific credibility, editorial oversight, relevance to obstetrics and gynecology, and transparent use of evidence.
Inclusion does not mean ACOOG endorses a publication, recommendation, or AI-generated output. Assess the quality, currency, and fit of any evidence, and consult current professional guidance when making clinical decisions.
About the preserved federal files
Federal publications are generally U.S. government works. The Office on Women's Health states its materials are free of copyright restrictions. ACOOG posts each file without changes and records the issuing agency, original date, source URL, and retrieval date. Third-party figures and photos may carry separate rights.
