Breastfeeding Success and Newborn Health before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic:A Single-Centre Comparative Study.

Introduction: Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, adjustments in patient and visitor traffic were made in hospitals to limit viral exposure. The primary objective of our study was to compare the breastfeeding success of healthy newborns in a maternity ward during the 2020 lockdown period compared with the same period in the previous year.

Material And Methods: Single-center comparative study based on prospectively collected data.

Outcomes of sustained fetal tachyarrhythmias after transplacental treatment.

Background: Fetal tachyarrhythmia is a condition that may lead to cardiac dysfunction, hydrops, and death. Despite a transplacental treatment, failure to obtain or maintain sinus rhythm may occur.

Objective: We aimed to analyze the perinatal outcomes of sustained fetal tachyarrhythmias after in utero treatment.

Outcome and management of newborns with congenital cytomegalovirus infection.

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common non-genetic cause of hearing loss and neurological disorder in children. Its overall prevalence is approximately 0.5% in Europe.

Refining the prognosis of fetuses infected with Cytomegalovirus in the first trimester of pregnancy by serial prenatal assessment: a single-centre retrospective study.

Objective: To define the predictive value (PV) of known prognostic factors of fetal infection with Cytomegalovirus following maternal primary infection <14 weeks of gestation, at different time points of pregnancy: the end of the second trimester; following prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 32 weeks of gestation; and using all ultrasound scans performed in the third trimester (US3rdT).

Design: A retrospective study.

Setting: Reference fetal medicine unit.
