OBJECTIVES: Preeclampsia (PE) is a disease specific to pregnancy that causes 9-10 % of maternal deaths. Early-onset PE (<34 weeks' gestation) is the most dangerous category of PE. Wnt7a and GPR124 (G protein-coupled receptor 124) are widely expressed in the human reproductive process. Especially during embryogenesis and tumorigenesis, Wnt7a plays a crucial role. However, few studies have examined the association between Wnt7a-GPR124 and early-onset PE. The aim of this study was to examine the significance of Wnt7a and GPR124 in early-onset PE as well as Wnt7a's role in trophoblast cells...

OBJECTIVES: Gastrointestinal system (GIS) cancer in pregnancy is a rare disease. Our aim was to evaluate the association between this type of cancer and pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, Nation-wide Inpatient Sample (HCUP-NIS). We included all women who delivered or had a maternal death in the US between 2004 and 2014. We compared women with an ICD-9 diagnosis of GIS cancer to those without...

OBJECTIVES: To compare pregnancy complications in pregnancies with and without pre-gestational diabetes mellitus (DM) managed in a multidisciplinary high-risk diabetes antenatal clinic. METHODS: This screening cohort study was undertaken at a large maternity unit in the United Kingdom between January 2010 and December 2022. We included singleton pregnancies that booked at our unit at 11-13 weeks' gestation. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine risks of complications in pregnancies with type 1 and type 2 DM after adjusting for maternal and pregnancy characteristics...

OBJECTIVES: Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is associated with oxidative stress. A potential marker of oxidative damage is carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) which is the product of the reaction between carbon monoxide and haemoglobin and is routinely assessed on blood gas analysis. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that higher COHb levels would be associated with worse outcomes in infants treated for HIE. METHODS: A retrospective, observational study was performed of all infants who received whole body hypothermia for HIE at a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit between January 2018 and August 2021...

OBJECTIVES: Abnormal body mass index (BMI) during pregnancy, a growing public health concern, increases maternal and neonatal complications. This study aimed to investigate the impact of abnormal BMI on perinatal outcomes compared to normal BMI. METHODS: A total of 14,624 women having singleton births were categorized as underweight (BMI<18.5 kg/m2 ), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2 ), obesity class I (30.0-34.9 kg/m2 ), obesity class II (35...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of an Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean (ERAC) protocol on the post-cesarean recovery experience using a validated ten-item questionnaire (ERAC-Q). METHODS: This is a prospective cohort study of patients completing ERAC quality-of-life questionnaires (ERAC-Q) during inpatient recovery after cesarean delivery (CD) between October 2019 and September 2020, before and after the implementation of our ERAC protocol. Patients with non-Pfannenstiel incision, ICU admission, massive transfusion, bowel injury, existing chronic pain disorders, acute postpartum depression, or neonatal demise were excluded...

OBJECTIVES: Dexamethasone administration can reduce bronchopulmonary dysplasia, our objective was to identify long term adverse effects. CONTENT: A systematic review was performed to determine the childhood and adolescent cardiopulmonary and cognitive effects of dexamethasone systemically administered to preterm infants during neonatal intensive care. Relevant studies were identified by searching two electronic health databases and the grey literature. Spirometry assessments were used as respiratory outcomes, blood pressure and echocardiography assessments as cardiovascular outcomes and cognitive and motor function as cognitive outcomes...

OBJECTIVES: To compare delivery outcomes of pregnancies diagnosed with placenta-accreta-syndrome (PAS) who underwent conservative treatment to patients who underwent cesarean hysterectomy. METHODS: A retrospective study of all women diagnosed with PAS treated in one tertiary medical center between 03/2011 and 11/2020 was performed. Comparison was made between conservative management during cesarean delivery and cesarean hysterectomy. Conservative management included leaving uterus in situ with/without placenta and with/without myometrial resection...

OBJECTIVES: Studies already pointed out the increased risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) positivity and the implied risk of cervical dysplasia and even cervical carcinoma in pregnant women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Nevertheless, due to less data there is still no standardised and expanded screening for this high-risk group. CONTENT: Two online databases (PubMed, EMBASE) were used to identify eligible studies.
