Multiple repeat caesarean deliveries: do they increase maternal and neonatal morbidity?

Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of the increased number of caesarean deliveries (CDs) in cases of multiple repeat caesarean deliveries (MRCDs) on maternal and neonatal morbidity.

Methods: MRCDs admitted to our hospital between January 2013 and September 2014 were analysed retrospectively. A total number of 1133 women were included in the study and were divided into 4 groups.

Maternal plasma prolidase, matrix metalloproteinases 1 and 13, and oxidative stress levels in pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of the membranes and chorioamnionitis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of various biochemical markers in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and in prediction of chorioamnionitis in patients with PPROM.

Material And Methods: This case-control study included a total of 100 pregnant women at 26-34 gestational weeks. Of these women, 50 were healthy and 50 had PPROM.
