The Stirling Antenatal Anxiety Scale (SAAS): Turkish validity and reliability study.

Aims: To examine the psychometric properties of the Stirling Antenatal Anxiety Scale (SAAS), developed by Sinesi et al., which assesses the level of anxiety of pregnant women in the prenatal period, in the Turkish culture, and to conduct a validity and reliability study.

Methods: This study had a methodological approach, with a cross-sectional and descriptive research design.

Comparison of maternal-neonatal results of vaginal birth after cesarean and elective repeat cesarean delivery.

Objective: To evaluate maternal-neonatal results in women who underwent vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) and elec-tive repeat cesarean delivery (ERCD).

Material And Methods: In a two-year retrospective cohort analysis, 423 patients with a history of prior cesarean section, singleton pregnancy with cephalic presentation and gestational age of 37-41 weeks were investigated. The maternal and perinatal outcomes of 195 patients desiring VBAC and undergoing a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) attempt and 228 patients undergoing an ERCD were compared.

Comparison of expulsions following intracesarean placement of an innovative frameless copper-releasing IUD (Gyn-CS®) versus the TCu380A: A randomized trial.

Objective: The intent of this study (primary outcome measure) is to assess the expulsion rate of a newly developed copper releasing frameless intrauterine IUD GyneFix® Cesarean Section (Gyn-CS®) at 3 months' follow-up, compared to the TCu-380A IUD, inserted immediately postplacental expulsion following cesarean section delivery.

Study Design: This is a randomized trial from one hospital research center in Istanbul, Turkey. Eligible pregnant women, the majority undergoing elective cesarean delivery (n=106), and the remaining emergency cesarean section cases (n=34), received intracesarean insertion of Gyn-CS or TCu380A insertion.

Planned cesarean hysterectomy versus modified form of segmental resection in patients with placenta percreta.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare some clinical characteristics of two different management alternatives in pregnants with placental invasion anomalies.

Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study of all patients who delivered with invasive placentation between January 2016 and May 2017. We included only the patients with placental invasion anomaly and planned cesarean section.

Spot protein/creatinine ratio in preeclampsia as an alternative for 24-hour urine protein.
