Predicting the risks and recognizing the signs: a two-year prospective population-based study on pregnant women with uterine rupture in The Netherlands.

Objective: To estimate the incidence of uterine rupture in the Netherlands and evaluate risk indicators prelabour and during labor of women with adverse maternal and/or perinatal outcome.

Methods: This is a population-based nationwide study using the Netherlands Obstetrics Surveillance System (NethOSS). We performed a two-year registration of pregnant women with uterine rupture.

Variations across Europe in hospitalization and management of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 during the initial phase of the pandemic: Multi-national population-based cohort study using the International Network of Obstetric Survey Systems (INOSS).

Introduction: The majority of data on COVID-19 in pregnancy are not from sound population-based active surveillance systems.

Material And Methods: We conducted a multi-national study of population-based national or regional prospective cohorts using standardized definitions within the International Network of Obstetric Survey systems (INOSS). From a source population of women giving birth between March 1 and August 31, 2020, we included pregnant women admitted to hospital with a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test ≤7 days prior to or during admission and up to 2 days after birth.

Spontaneous haemoperitoneum in pregnancy: Nationwide surveillance and Delphi audit system.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence, diagnostic management strategies and clinical outcomes of women with spontaneous haemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) and reassess the definition of SHiP.

Design: A population-based cohort study using the Netherlands Obstetric Surveillance System (NethOSS).

Setting: Nationwide, the Netherlands.

Lessons learned from the perinatal audit of uterine rupture in the Netherlands: A mixed-method study.

Background And Aims: To analyze outcomes of nationwide local audits of uterine rupture to draw lessons for clinical care.

Methods: Descriptive cohort study. Critical incident audit sessions within all local perinatal cooperation groups in the Netherlands.

SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy during the first wave of COVID-19 in the Netherlands: a prospective nationwide population-based cohort study (NethOSS).

Objective: To describe characteristics, risk factors and maternal, obstetric and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Design: Multi-centre prospective population-based cohort study.

Setting: Nationwide study in the Netherlands.

Maternal cardiac arrest in the Netherlands: A nationwide surveillance study.

Background: Maternal cardiac arrest is a complex and demanding clinical situation requiring a well-attuned team effort of healthcare workers of multiple disciplines. A recent report on maternal cardiac arrest in the United Kingdom reported a rise in incidence over a span of 10 years, while maternal mortality increased in the United States between 2000 and 2014. However, reported causes of maternal cardiac arrest differed between both countries.

Haptic Feedback, Force Feedback, and Force-Sensing in Simulation Training for Laparoscopy: A Systematic Overview.

Objectives: To provide a systematic overview of the literature assessing the value of haptic and force feedback in current simulators teaching laparoscopic surgical skills.

Data Sources: The databases of Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched to retrieve relevant studies published until January 31st, 2017. The search included laparoscopic surgery, simulation, and haptic or force feedback and all relevant synonyms.

Training in Basic Laparoscopic Surgical Skills: Residents Opinion of the New Nintendo Wii-U Laparoscopic Simulator.

Objective: Serious games are new in the field of laparoscopic surgical training. We evaluate the residents׳ opinion of a new laparoscopic simulator for the Nintendo Wii-U platform.

Design: Prospective questionnaire study.
