Objective: To determine whether patients undergoing a trial of labor with a breech presentation following a failed attempt of external cephalic version (ECV) are at increased risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single university-affiliated medical center. The study group comprised women with singleton pregnancies at term, categorized into three groups: those who underwent a failed external cephalic version (ECV) and subsequently attempted a trial of breech delivery (Breech-failed-ECV group), those who attempted an assisted vaginal breech delivery without a prior ECV attempt (Breech-no-ECV group), and those with vertex presentation following a successful ECV (Vertex-ECV).
Objective: This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate postoperative pain levels and analgesic drug requirements in women who underwent general anesthesia (GA) or spinal anesthesia (SA) during vaginal pelvic floor surgeries.
Design: This was a retrospective cohort study.
Participants/materials, Setting, Methods: Women aged 18 or above who underwent vaginal pelvic floor surgery between 2019 and 2021 were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the interpregnancy interval (IPI) of women who suffered obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) during childbirth and compare outcomes based on IPI length.
- Researchers analyzed data from women who had subsequent pregnancies after OASIS alongside a control group without such injuries, using medical records from 2015 to 2019.
- Results showed no significant difference in mean IPI between the groups, but women with OASIS had higher rates of repeat perineal tears, episiotomies, and cesarean sections in their next deliveries, indicating ongoing risks despite not delaying future pregnancies.
Background: We aimed to explore physician perspectives on communication quality across pediatric contexts.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews over a 4-month period. Purposive sampling was conducted to ensure a broad sampling of pediatricians from multiple subspecialties and practice settings.
Objective: To evaluate the rates of adverse perinatal outcomes among women who conceived after fertility treatments with and without diet-controlled GDM.
Methods: In this retrospective population-based cohort study, all pregnancies of non-diabetic and diet-controlled GDM women who conceived after fertility treatments (in-vitro fertilization - IVF and ovulation induction - OI) and delivered between the years 1996-2016 in a tertiary medical center, were included. Pregnancies of women with pre-gestational diabetes mellitus, and those complicated with gestational diabetes mellitus A2, multiple pregnancies, congenital malformations and those lacking prenatal care, were excluded.
