Fetal death is defined as the spontaneous cessation of cardiac activity after 14 weeks gestational age (GA). Regarding prevention of fetal death in the general population, it is not recommended to counsel or prescribe rest, aspirin, vitamin A, vitamin D, or micronutrient supplementation; systematically look for nuchal cord during prenatal screening ultrasound; or perform systematic antepartum monitoring by cardiotocography for the sole purpose of reducing the risk of fetal death. It is recommended to offer vaccination against influenza in epidemic periods and against SARS-CoV-2.

- The study aimed to analyze the neonatal and maternal outcomes of routine maneuvers during breech vaginal deliveries at term through a secondary analysis of a multicenter study in France and Belgium.
- A total of 1,163 women were compared between those who had routine maneuvers and those who did not, with similar adverse perinatal outcomes in both groups (4.5% vs 5.0%).
- The findings suggested that routine maneuvers did not lead to increased neonatal morbidity, with factors like being a first-time mother and low birth weight being linked to adverse outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Obstetric hemorrhage is a significant cause of maternal mortality that can be largely prevented, yet surgical injury during cesarean sections has become more common in France as a contributing factor to this issue.
- A nationwide study analyzed maternal deaths from surgical injuries during cesareans in France from 2007 to 2018, revealing a concerning trend of increasing mortality ratios despite overall improvements in maternal health outcomes.
- Key findings indicate that factors such as obesity, prior cesareans, and inadequate facilities played a significant role in these deaths, highlighting the need for improved care processes and risk factor management to enhance maternal safety.

Objectives: To evaluate whether the quality scores validated for second-trimester ultrasound scan can be used for third-trimester ultrasound scan.
Methods: Prospective multicenter ancillary study using data from the RECRET study. Nulliparous women, with no reported history, with second- and third-trimester ultrasound examinations performed by the same ultrasonographer and using the same ultrasound machine were recruited.
