Difference between Preterm Birth in Adolescent and Adult Patients.

Preterm delivery represents an important public health problem due to its neonatal outcomes. There are numerous complications that occur due to prematurity, but the most significant one is represented by neonatal death. Even if the certain mechanism of prematurity is elusive, there are various risk factors known to be involved in the etiology of preterm birth, among which one is young age.

Preeclampsia and neonatal outcomes in adolescent and adult patients.

Preeclampsia is an important health problem with a higher prevalence in the adolescent population. Furthermore, preeclampsia causes adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Newborns can be affected by preeclampsia, resulting in lower birth weight or Apgar score, the need for neonatal intensive care, or prematurity.

Mode of Delivery and Neonatal Outcome in Adolescent Pregnancy (13-16 Years Old) Associated with Anemia.

Background: Adolescent pregnancy represents an important public-health problem due to its maternal and fetal outcomes. Adolescent patients are predisposed to multiple obstetrical complications, including anemia and preterm birth which has a higher incidence among this population; withal, in the specialty literature, anemia is considered to be a risk factor for preterm delivery; furthermore, multiple studies have demonstrated that a very young age is an independent risk factor for preterm birth. Objectives: The study aims to reveal if anemia during adolescent pregnancy has a negative impact on the time and mode of delivery and newborns’ outcomes.

Neonatal Outcome Associated With Maternal COVID-19 Infection in Adolescent Patients.

Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection during pregnancy has been associated with high rates of preeclampsia, stillbirth, and preterm birth. Adolescent pregnancy has also been associated with various adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, including preeclampsia, stillbirth, preterm birth, congenital anomalies, and low birth weight. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether COVID-19 infection associated with adolescent pregnancy represents an additional risk factor.

Our Experience in Using the Endovascular Therapy in the Management of Hemorrhages in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

(1) Background: A quarter of maternal deaths are caused by post-partum hemorrhage; hence obstetric bleeding is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among women. Pelvic artery embolization (PAE) represents a minimally invasive interventional procedure which plays an important role in conservative management of significant bleeding in Obstetrics and Gynecology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect and the complications of PAE in patients with significant vaginal bleeding with different obstetrical and gynecological pathologies.
