Objectives: To evaluate clinical features, laboratory test results, maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnant patients with the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Background: COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease caused by a severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Healthy pregnant women are more susceptible to developing COVID-19.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how abnormal cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) relates to negative outcomes in fetuses during labor inductions.
- Conducted at a hospital in Turkey, it involved 145 pregnant women with scheduled inductions, focusing on measuring CPR via fetal Doppler ultrasound and comparing outcomes based on normal vs. abnormal CPR values.
- Results indicated that women with normal CPR values were more likely to have positive outcomes, with factors like later induction and higher birth weight correlating with healthier fetal conditions.
Objectives: To investigate association of amniotic fluid index (AFI) with perinatal fetal and maternal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 70 singleton pregnancies complicated by PPROM at 23-33 weeks' gestation were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Data on maternal clinical and obstetric characteristics [maternal age, gravidity, parity, PPROM time, and AFI (cm), latency period, treatments, type of delivery, length of hospital stay (LOS, day)], fetal characteristics (gestational age at delivery, birth weight (g), gender) and maternal and fetal complications were recorded and compared in AFI < 5 cm (n = 27) and AFI ≥ 5 cm (n = 21) groups.
Results: Overall AFI was ≤ 5 cm in 27 (56.
