Objective: To investigate the perinatal outcomes of cases with idiopathic polyhydramnios.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis of 160 singleton pregnancies that were under routine surveillance at the department of obstetrics from 2008 to 2010 was performed to assess perinatal outcomes. Finally, 59 cases were included as idiopathic polyhydramnios, and 101 cases were included as controls. Preterm delivery (<37 weeks), gestational age at birth, low birth weight (<2500 g), very low birth weight (<1500 g), macrosomia (>4000 g), 1- and 5-min APGAR scores <7, small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses, large for gestational age (LGA) fetuses, C-section rates, number of fetal distress, admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after delivery, neonatal death within the first 7 days, and deaths before the age of 1 year were selected as perinatal outcome variables.
Result: Significantly higher preterm labors and low 1- and 5-min APGAR scores were noted in the idiopathic polyhydramnios group compared with the control group.
Conclusion: Although perinatal outcomes are conflicting in literature, idiopathic polyhydramnios warrants close surveillance especially near term.

Background: Metabolic bariatric surgery is the most effective therapy for severe obesity, which affects the health of millions, most of whom are women of child-bearing age. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are the most common bariatric procedures and are associated with durable weight loss and comorbidity resolution. Although obstetric outcomes broadly improve, the safety profile comparing the impact of RYGB and SG on obstetric outcomes is underexplored.

Objective: Babies born between 27 and 31 weeks of gestation contribute substantially towards infant mortality and morbidity. In England, their care is delivered in maternity services colocated with highly specialised neonatal intensive care units (NICU) or less specialised local neonatal units (LNU). We investigated whether birth setting offered survival and/or morbidity advantages to inform National Health Service delivery.
