BackgroundAntepartum activity restriction (AAR) is a common recommendation given to women at risk for preterm delivery. However, such treatment has been shown to cause heavy emotional burdens on the women receiving it since it requires them to face many challenges derived from the intervention. Nevertheless, current existing scales lack effective i...

Evidence suggests that maternal anxiety is associated with adverse pregnancy and delivery outcomes, such as preterm birth, vaginal bleedings and low birth weight. To examine the association of lifetime anxiety disorders and pregnancy-related anxiety and complications during pregnancy and delivery. Prospective-longitudinal study (MARI). N = 306 preg...

We aimed to identify novel biomarkers in maternal plasma that predict spontaneous preterm delivery (SPTD) in women with preterm labor (PTL) using an antibody microarray and to develop the best prediction model for SPTD based on these biomarkers in combination with clinical and ultrasound factors. This retrospective cohort study included 215 women w...

BackgroundTwin pregnancies with uterine fibroid(s) (UFs) may not be at increased risk for obstetric complications compared to those without UFs. However, there was no reported comparison study with obstetric outcomes and complications of twin pregnancy after myomectomy. We aimed to compare the pregnancy outcomes in twin pregnancies with or without ...

Additional risk factors for preterm delivery in pregnant women with cervical shortening are not fully understood; however, mid-trimester cervical shortening is accepted as a risk factor for preterm delivery. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with subsequent preterm delivery among patients with short cervix detected after late mid...

We aimed to identify cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) biomarkers that can detect microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) in women with preterm labor (PTL) with an antibody microarray and to develop the best combined model for detection of MIAC using these biomarkers in combination with conventional clinical variables. This retrospective cohort s...
