Obstetrical and Newborn Outcomes Among Patients With SARS-CoV-2 During Pregnancy.

We report on the perinatal outcomes of pregnant patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from 2 hospitals in Montréal, Québec. Outcomes of 45 patients with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy were compared with those of 225 patients without infection. Sixteen percent of patients with SARS-CoV-2 delivered preterm, compared with 9% of patients without (P = 0.

Placenta previa and the risk of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR): a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background Whether placental location confers specific neonatal risks is controversial. In particular, whether placenta previa is associated with intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR)/small for gestational age (SGA) remains a matter of debate. Methods We searched Medline, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Scopus, ISI Web of Science and Cochrane database search, as well as PubMed (www.

Recent advances in the antepartum management of diabetes.

Gestational and pre-gestational diabetes are frequent problems encountered in obstetrical practice and their complications may influence both the mother (such as hypertension, pre-eclampsia, increased caesarean rates) and the foetus (such as macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, respiratory distress, hypoglycaemia, or childhood obesity and diabetes). Given the important implications for mothers and their offspring, screening and appropriate management of diabetes during pregnancy are essential. This is a review of articles published between 2015 and 2018 on Medline via Ovid that focus on advances in the management of diabetes in pregnancy.

Surgical Management of the Placenta Accreta Spectrum: An Institutional Experience.

Objective: The incidence of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) has risen over the past decades, primarily in response to increasing Caesarean section rates. The surgical management of PAS is associated with significant morbidity, including hemorrhage and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. This study sought to evaluate the surgical outcomes of a PAS operative approach.
