  • - The study focused on identifying risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) in women with previous cesarean deliveries and either placenta previa or a low-lying placenta, using data from 2013 to 2015.
  • - Out of over 520,000 deliveries, 396 women met the criteria, with 108 diagnosed with PAS, showing a significant correlation between the number of prior cesareans and the rate of PAS, which could range from 5% to 63%.
  • - Key risk factors for developing PAS included having a BMI of 30 or higher, previous uterine surgeries, past postpartum hemorrhage, multiple cesarean deliveries, and presence of placenta previa, indicating that risk stratification is

Background: In pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), parents and healthcare professionals attend to children who verbally and non-verbally express their pain and suffering, fears, anxieties, desires, and wishes in complex intensive care situations. What can we learn from these experiences to improve the way we can take care of and support children?

Objectives: The main objective of this clinical ethics study was to focus on the experience stories of parents during their child's hospitalization in a PICU, to analyze their discourse, and to propose an ethical perspective.

Method: The current research collects the experience reports of parents during their child's hospitalization in a PICU and those of the caregivers who treated them.

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum is a life-threatening condition that has increased dramatically in recent decades along with cesarean rates worldwide. Cesarean hysterectomy is widely practiced in women with placenta accreta spectrum; however, the maternal outcomes after cesarean hysterectomy have not been thoroughly compared with the maternal outcomes after alternative approaches, such as conservative management.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the severe maternal outcomes between women with placenta accreta spectrum treated with cesarean hysterectomy and those treated with conservative management (leaving the placenta in situ).
