Introduction: To evaluate the ability of preinduction ultrasonographic cervical length to predict the interval between induction and delivery in women at term with a Bishop score of 4 to 6 at induction.
Study Design: This multicenter prospective observational cohort recruited 334 women from April 2010 to March 2014. Inclusion criteria were women with singleton pregnancies at a gestational age ≥37 weeks, with no previous caesarean, a medical indication for induction of labor, and a Bishop score of 4, 5, or 6.
Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy and postpartum present significant bleeding risks for haemophilia carriers and their newborns.
- A study involving 104 carriers and 119 newborns in France over five years found 30% experienced bleeding events, mostly after delivery.
- Factors such as cesarean sections and low factor levels increased bleeding risk, highlighting the need for specialized care in these situations.
Background: Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) therapy is commonly used in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of UDCA in real-world conditions and to search for factors predictive of response to treatment.
Methods: This observational study included 98 consecutive patients suffering from pruritus during pregnancy associated with increased ALT levels or total bile acid (TBA) concentrations, without other causes of cholestasis.
With the growing role of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in the management of portal hypertension complications, a number of women of childbearing age are now being treated with TIPS. However, if pregnancy is unusual in patients with cirrhosis, it can occur in the case of noncirrhotic portal hypertension. To our knowledge, there are no data on pregnancy safety after TIPS insertion.
