Maternal left ventricular function and adverse neonatal outcomes in women with cardiac disease.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between maternal left ventricular systolic function, utero-placental circulation, and risk of adverse neonatal outcomes in women with cardiac disease.

Methods: 119 women managed in the pregnancy heart clinic (2019-2021) were identified. Women were classified by their primary cardiac condition.

Temporal variations in maternal treatment requirements and early neonatal outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes.

Aims: There is seasonal variation in the incidence of gestational diabetes (GDM) and delivery outcomes of affected patients. We assessed whether there was also evidence of temporal variation in maternal treatment requirements and early neonatal outcomes.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of women diagnosed with GDM (75 g oral glucose tolerance test, 0 h ≥ 5.

Decision-to-delivery interval of emergency cesarean section in Uganda: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: In many low and medium human development index countries, the rate of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality is high. One factor which may influence this is the decision-to-delivery interval of emergency cesarean section. We aimed to investigate the maternal risk factors, indications and decision-to-delivery interval of emergency cesarean section in a large, under-resourced obstetric setting in Uganda.
