Objective: To compare adverse neonatal outcomes between trial of vaginal delivery and upfront cesarean delivery for singleton infants born at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study that was conducted at a university-affiliated tertiary medical center between 2011 and 2022, involving singleton pregnancies delivered between 24 and 27 weeks of gestation. Participants were divided into two groups based on their intended mode of delivery: a trial of labor (TOL) group and an upfront cesarean delivery (CD) group.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify risk factors and create a predictive model for cesarean deliveries during labor in women with obesity.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 5,663 women with a BMI of 30 or higher, finding that 7.5% ended up having a cesarean delivery.
  • Key risk factors included age over 35, higher pre-gestational BMI, nulliparity, and certain medical interventions, with the predictive model showing 85% sensitivity and 70% specificity for predicting cesarean needs.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the risk factors for patients with pre-eclampsia (PE) with severe features to develop hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome and to design a prediction score model that incorporates these risk factors.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary university-affiliated medical center between 2011 and 2019. The study population comprised patients diagnosed with PE with severe features, divided into two groups: those with HELLP syndrome (study group) and those without (control group).

Objective: To determine risk factors and to develop a risk prediction score for intrapartum cesarean delivery (CD) in women over 40 years old.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study, in a single university-affiliated tertiary medical center. All women aged 40 years or more who planned a trial of labor between 2012 and 2022.

This retrospective cohort study aimed to explore the association between advanced maternal age and the clinical manifestations as well as laboratory parameters of preeclampsia with severe features. This study included 452 patients who were diagnosed with preeclampsia with severe features. The clinical and laboratorial characteristics of patients with preeclampsia with severe features aged ≥40 years old (study group) were compared to those of patients aged <40 years old (control group).

Objective: Acute pulmonary edema is a rare complication in women with preeclampsia especially at advanced maternal age. We aimed to determine the cardiovascular hemodynamics in advanced maternal age women who developed acute pulmonary edema and preeclampsia.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study of women aged over 45 years giving birth at single university affiliated tertiary medical center which developed acute pulmonary edema due to severe preeclampsia.
