AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine stillbirth, neonatal, and perinatal death rates in pregnancies affected by placental abruption, focusing on the sex of the fetus.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 10,000 singleton live births from 1989 to 2005, finding a higher incidence of placental abruption in pregnancies with male infants compared to females, while clarifying that the fetal sex did not significantly affect survival rates.
- The results indicated that although more male infants were born to mothers with placental abruption, both sexes had similar outcomes regarding stillbirth, neonatal mortality, and perinatal mortality.
Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate stillbirth, neonatal, and perinatal death outcomes in pregnancies complicated by placental abruption, according to fetal sex.
Methods: We utilized maternally linked cohort data files of singleton live births to mothers diagnosed with placental abruption during the period 1989 through 2005 (n = 10,014). Logistic regression models were employed to generate adjusted odd ratios and their 95% confidence intervals. Male babies served as the referent category.
Results: The sex ratio at birth was 1.18. The overall prevalence of stillbirth, neonatal mortality, and perinatal mortality was 7.2%, 4.5%, and 11.8%, respectively. Placental abruption was less likely to occur in mothers carrying female pregnancies than mothers of male infants (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval] = 0.89 [0.86-0.93]). There were no significant sex differences with regards to stillbirth, neonatal mortality, and perinatal mortality. Similar findings were observed for preterm and term infants.
Conclusions: Although a preponderance of male infants was discernable among mothers with placental abruption, no sex difference in fetal survival was observed among the offspring of the mothers affected by placental abruption.

Biallelic variants in GLDN have recently been associated with lethal congenital contracture syndrome 11 (LCCS11), a form of fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS) with high neonatal mortality. In this report, we describe five individuals from two Canadian Inuit families originating from different communities in Nunavik all affected with FADS and harboring a rare homozygous missense variant, [NM_181789.4:c.

Background: The study aims to investigate the application of surgical vaginoscopy via a no-touch hysteroscopic approach for the management of female genital polyps. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of this technique in treating intrauterine pathologies in both pregnant and non-pregnant women.
Methods: A total of forty-six patients diagnosed with genital polyps underwent operative vaginoscopy at a university-affiliated hospital between April 1, 2017 and May 31, 2023.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze the risk of maternal morbidity based on how pregnancies were achieved, focusing on various methods of medically assisted reproduction like fertility drugs, IUI, and ART.
- Data from Utah's birth certificates (2009-2017) showed that 4.8% of pregnancies were from assisted reproduction, with maternal morbidity defined by complications like blood transfusions and ICU admissions.
- Results indicated higher maternal morbidity risks for those using assisted reproduction, particularly with ART and autologous oocytes, although these risks decreased when controlling for factors like multiple pregnancies and existing health issues.

Importance: Understanding the risk profile of obstetric complications in pregnancies with fetal major congenital heart defects (MCHDs) is crucial for obstetric counseling and care.
Objective: To investigate the risk of placenta-related adverse obstetric outcomes in pregnancies complicated by fetal MCHDs.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study retrieved data from June 1, 2008, to June 1, 2018, from the Danish Fetal Medicine Database, which includes comprehensive data on more than 95% of all pregnancies in Denmark since the database was instituted in 2008.
