W&I fellow honored for antibiotic breakthrough

PROVIDENCE – A Women & Infants Hospital researcher’s work, showing that obese pregnant women require higher doses of prophylactic antibiotics prior to caesarean delivery, has earned her a national award.

Dr. Lindsay Maggio, a fellow in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and Women & Infants Hospital, was honored by the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s annual meeting for authoring the best fellow research paper in the United States during the past year.

The paper, entitled “Optimal dosing of cefazolin in obese women undergoing cesarean delivery: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial,” was authored by Maggio, along with her Brown and Women & Infants colleagues Dr. Dwight Rouse and Dr. Brenna (Anderson) Hughes as well as colleagues at Hartford Hospital’s Center for Anti-Infective Research and Development in Hartford, Conn.
