Background: Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) is a rare disorder of the urea cycle that obstetricians should be aware of in order to guide management for pregnant carriers of the X-linked gene that causes the condition.
Cases: We present the pregnancy management and outcomes of two women with OTCD. The particular manifestations of the disease drive antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum management.
Background: Previous research has focused mainly on neonatal outcomes associated with preterm and periviable delivery, but maternal outcomes with preterm delivery are less well described.
Objective: This study aimed to determine if early preterm delivery results in an increase in maternal morbidity.
Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary care center over a 5-year time period.
Objectives: Women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy should have a blood pressure evaluation no later than 7-10 days after delivery. The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with patient attendance at the postpartum blood pressure follow-up visit.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of postpartum women who had a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal antepartum antibiotic administration and antibiotic resistance patterns in preterm neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of women and their preterm neonates delivered at a single tertiary care center over a 5-year period. Women and neonates were included if they delivered between 23 weeks 0 days and 28 weeks 6 days of gestation and neonates were admitted to the NICU.
