Background: For women at low risk of complications during labour and birth, in the United Kingdom, planned birth in a 'community' setting (at home or a freestanding midwifery unit) is generally safe, and intrapartum emergencies are uncommon. Limited exposure may affect midwives' experience of managing an emergency.
Aim: Identify and synthesise available evidence about midwives' experiences of managing intrapartum emergencies during labour in a community setting.

Aim: In Japan, the fetal heart rate pattern on cardiotocography is usually categorized into five levels for intrapartum management; however, studies on the 5-tier cardiotocography classification are limited. This study aimed to determine the correlation between 5-tier cardiotocography levels at delivery, neonatal Apgar scores and perinatal prognosis using a perinatal registry database.
Methods: This retrospective study used the 2018 Perinatal Registry Database of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The World Health Organization recognises Routine Health Information System (RHIS) data as integral to data-driven health systems; needed to improve intrapartum outcomes for maternal and newborn health worldwide. However, research in Bangladesh and Tanzania suggests that mode of birth affects register data accuracy, but little is known about why. To address this gap, we undertook qualitative research in these two public-sector health systems.

Chorioamnionitis is a significant contributor to non-hypoxic fetal compromise, increasing the risk of neonatal encephalopathy and cerebral palsy. This paper highlights the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods for chorioamnionitis, which rely on histopathology, microbiology, and clinical signs, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing the fetal inflammatory response using intrapartum cardiotocography (CTG). By understanding the physiological pathways of inflammation, clinicians can identify characteristic CTG patterns.

The limit of periviability is constantly changing as infants born at 22-25 weeks of gestation increasingly survive. The data from our region are limited due to the small numbers of these infants among the NICU population. In this study, we evaluated the survival rates and short-term outcomes among preterm neonates between 22 and 24 weeks of gestation admitted to Tawam Hospital, United Arab Emirates.
