Research
Dr. Bianco has published numerous high-impact clinical trials in high-risk obstetrics and has served as the principal investigator for several randomized controlled trials focused primarily on induction of labor techniques. Her research on labor induction has influenced national approaches to induction practices. She has also led and contributed to clinical trials aimed at reducing infectious morbidity associated with labor and delivery, including the PRACTICAL trial published in Obstetrics & Gynecology and the STRIPES trial published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. In addition, she has participated in prospective trials designed to mitigate the risk of peripartum hemorrhage, with findings published in Obstetrics & Gynecology and Cureus.
Dr. Bianco also published one of the few studies examining the impact of catastrophic health expenditures on pregnancy and delivery in the United States, highlighting differences in costs for privately versus publicly insured pregnant individuals and the effects of the Affordable Care Act; this work was published in Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2022. Her broader body of research also examines the influence of social drivers of health on adverse pregnancy outcomes and mode of delivery, and includes publications highlighting disparities in the use of toxicology screening among pregnant patients.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Bianco has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
