To compare several maternal-fetal morbidities comparing the Institute of Medicine IOM 2009 recommendations (IOMR: 5-9 kg in all obese women) between women with adequate gestational weight gain (GWG) and Inadequate (less than 5 kg), and excessive those gaining more than 9 kg among obese women class I (30-34.9 kg/m2) and class II (35-39.9 kg/m2). Sou...
To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative low-residue diet on postoperative ileus in women undergoing elective cesarean section (CS). This is a surgeon-blind, randomized controlled trial enrolling pregnant women at ≥39 weeks of gestation undergoing elective CS. Patients were preoperatively randomized to receive either low-residue diet (arm A) or fre...
Opioid use in pregnant women is a growing public health concern and is shown to be associated with lower infant birth weights. Placental volume changes in prior studies correlated with various maternal and fetal conditions. We aimed to identify differences between placental volumes in pregnant women with opioid use, and control pregnant women witho...
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta for placenta accreta spectrum is used to control maternal hemorrhage during cesarean hysterectomy. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta for placenta accreta spectrum by examines the change in the quantitative blood loss after ap...
The objectives of this study were to determine in a population-based cohort study the association between cesarean section (CS) during the second stage of labor and the risk for preterm birth and/or cervical insufficiency in the subsequent pregnancy; to identify maternal and neonatal risk factors for long-term complications following CS due to prol...
To investigate the prenatal diagnostic value of chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) in fetuses with isolated or non-isolated umbilical cord cysts (UCCs) of various locations and numbers. Between November 2015 and November 2021, 45 pregnant women carrying fetuses with UCCs underwent amniocentesis and CMA. Fetal prognoses were followed from 6 months...
Background: In a country with a high-test frequency, societal lockdown, and pregnancy leave granted from 28 gestational weeks, we investigated SARS-CoV-2 infection in women admitted in labor and their newborn in the pre-vaccine period.Material and methods: A total of 1042 women admitted for delivery in two Danish hospitals agreed to a plasma sample...
To review the usefulness of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio to detect adverse pregnancy outcomes related to placental dysfunction in twin pregnancies. A systematic review in Pubmed-Medline, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and National Guideline was performed. Studies were selected if th...
To establish and verify a nomogram model that can predict the risk of macrosomia in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Data of patients with GDM who delivered their babies in Shanxi Bethune Hospital between November 2020 and February 2022 were analyzed. Multifactor logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk...
To systematically review and assess the risk of bias in the literature evaluating the performance of INTERGROWTH-21st estimated fetal weight (EFW) standards to predict maternal, fetal and neonatal adverse outcomes. Searches were performed in seven electronic databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, Lilacs, Scielo and Google Scholar) usin...
