Evaluation of the 4 diagnosis criteria proposed by the SMFM and the AFE foundation for amniotic fluid embolism in a monocentric population.

Objective: The Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM) and the Amniotic Fluid Embolism Foundation have recently proposed four diagnostic criteria for amniotic fluid embolism (AFE): presence of (1) sudden cardiac arrest or both respiratory and hemodynamic collapse, and (2) biological disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), and (3) absence of fever, and (4) clinical onset during labor or within 30 min of delivery. The objectives of our study were to describe the clinical presentation of women with a strong suspicion of AFE and to assess the validity of the four criteria proposed for AFE definition.

Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective study including all patients with a strong suspicion of AFE who delivered between 2006 and 2018 at the Port Royal maternity unit, Paris.

[In the case of premature live birth, is very early rupture of the membranes an additional risk factor for morbidity and mortality?].

Objective: To describe survival rate after preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) before 25 weeks of gestation and compare neonatal morbidity and mortality among those born alive with a control group of infants born at a similar gestational age without premature rupture of membranes.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-centre study at Port-Royal maternity, from 2007 to 2015, comparing neonatal outcomes between liveborninfants exposed to PPROM prior to 25 weeks of gestation (WG) and a control group not exposed to premature rupture of the membranes. For each live-born child, the next child born after spontaneous labor without PPROM was matched for gestational age at birth, sex, and whether or not they received antenatal corticosteroid therapy.

Outcomes of pregnancies achieved by double gamete donation: A comparison with pregnancies obtained by oocyte donation alone.

Objective: Women increasingly resort to oocyte donation to become pregnant. The high risk of preeclampsia found in oocyte donation pregnancies and the separate risk of preeclampsia associated with sperm donation may be cumulative in double donation pregnancies. We aimed to study the obstetrical and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies obtained by double donation (both oocyte and sperm) in comparison with those obtained by oocyte donation alone (oocyte donation and partner's sperm).

Placental Abruption Revealed by Hemoperitoneum: A Case Report.

 Hemoperitoneum is a life-threatening surgical emergency. Diagnosis of the cause is often difficult, in particular, during pregnancy when it may be either obstetric or nonobstetric.  We report the case of a hemoperitoneum caused by the backflow of blood through a uterine tube, due to placental abruption.

[Risk of perinatal complication and egg donation: Role of resorting to cross-border care?].

Objectives: In France, egg donation is covered by Social insurance among women<43 years old. Because of shortage of egg donor, women aged 43 years or more cannot resort to egg donation in French infertility centers, leading them to turn to the foreign centers having practices different and less regulated than in France. We are thus brought to take care of the pregnancy and of the delivery of these women.
