Background: Delays in the detection or treatment of postpartum hemorrhage can result in complications or death. A blood-collection drape can help provide objective, accurate, and early diagnosis of postpartum hemorrhage, and delayed or inconsistent use of effective interventions may be able to be addressed by a treatment bundle.
Methods: We conducted an international, cluster-randomized trial to assess a multicomponent clinical intervention for postpartum hemorrhage in patients having vaginal delivery.
Article Synopsis
- Miscarriage is when a pregnancy ends before the baby can survive outside the mother, and there are about 23 million miscarriages each year around the world.
- Many factors can increase the risk of having a miscarriage, such as the age of the parents, health habits like smoking and drinking, and even environmental factors like pollution.
- Miscarriages can cause both physical problems and emotional issues, like anxiety and depression, so it's important for women who have experienced this to get proper medical care and support.
Progestogens for preventing miscarriage: a network meta-analysis.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
April 2021
Background: Miscarriage, defined as the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before 24 weeks' gestation, is common with approximately 25% of women experiencing a miscarriage in their lifetime, and 15% to 20% of pregnancies ending in a miscarriage. Progesterone has an important role in maintaining a pregnancy, and supplementation with different progestogens in early pregnancy has been attempted to rescue a pregnancy in women with early pregnancy bleeding (threatened miscarriage), and to prevent miscarriages in asymptomatic women who have a history of three or more previous miscarriages (recurrent miscarriage).
Objectives: To estimate the relative effectiveness and safety profiles for the different progestogen treatments for threatened and recurrent miscarriage, and provide rankings of the available treatments according to their effectiveness, safety, and side-effect profile.
