Nulliparous women's lived experiences of the prolonged passive stage of labour: A thematic analysis based on descriptive phenomenology.

Introduction: Prolonged progress can occur in the first and second stages of labour and may contribute to a negative birth experience. However, previous studies have mainly focused on quantitative aspects or overall birth experience, and little is known about women's experiences of a prolonged passive second stage.

Objective: To describe the lived experiences of a prolonged passive second stage of labour in nulliparous women.

Mode of delivery and birth outcomes in relation to the duration of the passive second stage of labour: A retrospective cohort study of nulliparous women.

Objective: To investigate the mode of delivery and birth outcomes in relation to the duration of the passive second stage of labour in nulliparous women.

Methods And Findings: A retrospective cohort study of all nulliparous women (n = 1131) at two delivery units in Sweden. Maternal and obstetric data were obtained from electronic medical records during 2019.

Prolonged passive second stage of labor in nulliparous women-Prevalence and risk factors: A historical cohort study.

Introduction: This study examined the prevalence of and risk factors for a prolonged passive second stage of labor in nulliparous women.

Material And Methods: This was a historical cohort study of all nulliparous women (n = 1131) at two delivery units in Sweden. Maternal and obstetric data were obtained from electronic medical records during 2019.

[High prenatal detection rates of complex congenital heart defects (CHD)].

Aim: To analyze prenatal detection rates of complex CHD after the implementation of an expanded three-tiered screening model at the Skane University Hospitals in Lund and Malmö in 2015.  Methods: Retrospective review of pregnancies screened from January 1, 2015 and being born by June 30, 2018. Complex CHD was defined as needing intervention in the first year of life.

Fusion imaging in brain structure measurements on a fetus phantom, combining real-time ultrasound with magnetic resonance imaging.

Objectives: To assess synchronisation of MRI and US in measuring foetus phantom head structures; inter-method, intra- and inter-observer differences on biparietal diameter (BPD), head diameter, anterio-posterior head diameter (HAP) and lateral ventricle structures (VS).

Methods: Fusion Imaging (FI) has been performed by combining MRI and US simultaneously. Axial scans of 1.

COVID-19 in pregnancy-characteristics and outcomes of pregnant women admitted to hospital because of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Nordic countries.

Introduction: Population-based studies about the consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) in pregnancy are few and have limited generalizability to the Nordic population and healthcare systems.

Material And Methods: This study examines pregnant women with COVID-19 in the five Nordic countries. Pregnant women were included if they were admitted to hospital between 1 March and 30 June 2020 and had a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test ≤14 days prior to admission.

[Postpartum hemorrhage and need of blood transfusions].

Postpartum hemorrhage is responsible for one fourth of the maternal mortality worldwide. In high resource countries there is an increasing trend in frequency of postpartum hemorrhage and need of blood transfusions. The reason for this increase is probably multifactorial.

Incidence and risk factors of transfusion reactions in postpartum blood transfusions.

Postpartum hemorrhages with blood transfusions are increasing in many high-resource countries. Currently, up to 3% of all women receive blood transfusion postpartum. Most blood transfusions are safe and, in many cases, are lifesaving, but there are significant concerns about adverse reactions.

Thromboembolism and in vitro fertilization - a systematic review.

Introduction: There is no accepted consensus on thromboprophylaxis in relation to in vitro fertilization (IVF). We aimed to study the frequency of thromboembolism and to assess thromboprophylaxis in relation to IVF.

Material And Methods: We performed a systematic review.

The Nordic Obstetric Surveillance Study: a study of complete uterine rupture, abnormally invasive placenta, peripartum hysterectomy, and severe blood loss at delivery.

Objective: To assess the rates and characteristics of women with complete uterine rupture, abnormally invasive placenta, peripartum hysterectomy, and severe blood loss at delivery in the Nordic countries.

Design: Prospective, Nordic collaboration.

Setting: The Nordic Obstetric Surveillance Study (NOSS) collected cases of severe obstetric complications in the Nordic countries from April 2009 to August 2012.
