New approach to the risk variables for administration of fibrinogen in patients with postpartum hemorrhage by using cluster analysis.

Objective: To analyze all the variables in women who received fibrinogen for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) using hierarchical cluster analysis, to provide greater insight into the risk variables involved in these women.

Methods: This retrospective study of women with at least 500 mL of bleeding at birth or during the postpartum period and treated with fibrinogen was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Atatürk University School of Medicine from January 2013 to January 2018. Data on the women were obtained from medical records and various risk variables were recorded and analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis.

Comparison of two natural tissue repair-based surgical techniques; sacrospinous fixation and uterosacral ligament suspension for pelvic organ prolapse treatment.

Introduction And Purpose: The present study aims to compare the effectiveness and perioperative results of the natural tissue repair-based treatments sacrospinous fixation (SSF) and uterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) based on the preoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system (POP-Q).

Materials And Methods: Medical records of patients with stage ≥2 uterine prolapse between January 2011 and December 2016 were retrospectively examined. Preoperative POP-Q stages, demographic characteristics, perioperative results, and recurrence ratios in mid-term follow-up for patients were compared.
