Joseph R. Biggio Jr MD

Joseph R. Biggio Jr., M.D., professor and director of the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, was recently published in Obstetrics and Gynecology, the journal of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In his paper "Bed Rest in Pregnancy", Dr. Biggio argues that until data from well-designed, appropriately powered studies demonstrate favorable outcomes with activity restriction, physicians should contemplate whether the risk–benefit ratio justifies prescribing it. Dr. Biggio's paper has been referenced in numerous publications including the New York Times and the Washington Post.
