OBJECTIVE: Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the most frequent complications of pregnancies in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The high indicated PTB proportion due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and/or fetal growth restriction is well known, and preventive measures as well as screening for early detection are performed. The risk of spontaneous PTB is less well recognized. The purpose of this study is to determine the proportions of spontaneous and indicated PTB in pregnancies of women with SLE DATA SOURCES: A systematic literature search using Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and Google Scholar was performed in June 2021 STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Studies in pregnant women with SLE reporting spontaneous and indicated PTB rates were selected...

Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM) is defined as the rupture of fetal membranes prior to the onset of labor, before 37 weeks gestation and remains a significant obstetric complication of pregnancy with high rates of perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim of our study was to establish the determinants of PPROM <34 weeks at this GJG MRH hospital which has a high incidence of PPROM. It was a descriptive , retrospective chart review of women diagnosed with PPROM over a 1 year period from 1st of January 2018 to 31st of December 2018...

INTRODUCTION: Multiple pregnancies are much more common today than they were in the past. Twin pregnancies occur in about 4% of pregnancies in Africa. Adverse pregnancy outcome was more common in twin pregnancy than in singleton pregnancy. There is no pooled evidence on the burden and adverse pregnancy outcome of twin pregnancy in eastern Africa. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the prevalence and adverse pregnancy outcomes of twin pregnancies. METHODS: This systematic review and meta-analysis covers published and unpublished studies searched from different databases (PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCO), EMBASE, DOAJ, Web of Sciences, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and Google search)...

Air pollution is an environmental stimulus that may predispose pregnant women to preterm rapture of membrane (PROM). However, the relationship of maternal exposure to air pollutants and PROM is still unclear. To investigate the relationship between the long-term and short-term maternal exposure to air pollution and PROM. We searched all studies published in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science up to February 2024. The studies provided quantitative effect estimates with 95% confidence intervals, for the impact of short-term (<30 days) or long-term (≥30 days) maternal exposure to air pollutants on PROM, preterm PROM (PPROM) or term PROM (TPROM)...

Cervical cerclage is a common procedure employed to prevent preterm birth in women with cervical insufficiency. Complications such as injuries to the cervix and bladder, and premature membrane rupture are well-documented, while genitourinary fistulas are a rare occurrence. This article reports a rare case of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) formation in a 27-year-old woman following the placement of a McDonald cervical cerclage. The patient presented with continuous watery vaginal leakage, which began during the last 2 months of her pregnancy...

Nearly 70% of preterm deliveries occur spontaneously, and the clinical pathways involved include preterm labor (PTL) and preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM). Prediction of preterm delivery is considered crucial due to the significant effects of preterm birth on health and the economy at both the personal and community levels. Although similar inflammatory processes occur in both term and preterm delivery, the premature activation of these processes or exaggerated inflammatory response triggered by infection or sterile factors leads to preterm delivery...

INTRODUCTION: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious intestinal condition characterized by ischemic necrosis of the intestinal mucosa, inflammation, and invasion by gas-forming organisms, posing a significant threat to neonatal health. Necrotizing enterocolitis remains a significant cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries. Due to limited research conducted in Ethiopia and the study area, there is a lack of information regarding the risk factors associated with necrotizing enterocolitis...

BACKGROUND: Early-onset neonatal bacterial sepsis (EOS) is a serious medical condition where pathogenic bacterial species are isolated from the blood of newborns within the first 72 hours of life. Neonatal healthcare providers face challenges in managing well-appearing newborns born at 35 weeks gestational age or more who are at an increased risk of developing EOS. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended three approaches for managing EOS. One of these approaches includes enhanced observation to observe the progression of the newborn's clinical condition within the first 48 hours after birth...
