Objective: To explore the risk factors and clinical characteristics of shoulder dystocia.
Methods: The data of 44 580 single pregnancy and full-term head delivery were colleceted in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Nanfang Hospital, Shenzhen Nanshan Hospital, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital and Yue Bei People's Hospital from January 2008 to September 2013. Totally 116 cases of shoulder dystocia were defined as the shoulder dystocia group, and the others were in the control group. The clinical data of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively, including the maternal age, maternal height, pre-gestational body mass index, weight gain during pregnancy, gestational weeks, gravidity, parity, fundal height, fetal abdominal perimeter, shoulder dystocia medical history, macrosomia, gestational diabetes mellitus, pre-gestational diabetes mellitus, post-term pregnancy and the condition of labor stages.
Results: (1) The incidence of shoulder dystocia was 0.260% (116/44 580). The maternal age, pre-gestational body mass index and weight gain during pregnancy in the shoulder dystocia group were higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.01). While the maternal height, gestational weeks, gravidity, parity, fundal height, abdominal circumference in the two groups had no significant difference (all P > 0.05). (2) In the shoulder dystocia group, the incidence of shoulder dystocia medical history (11.21%, 13/116), macrosomia (13.79% , 16/116), pre-gestational diabetes mellitus (7.76% , 9/116), post-term pregnancy (10.34%, 12/116), prolongation of maximum acceleration phase (8.62%, 10/116) and prolongation of second labor stage (7.76%, 9/116) were different from those in the control group[1.43% ( 636/44 464), 1.48% (658/ 44 464), 0.57% ( 252/44 464), 1.15% (513/44 464),0.72% (322/44 464), 0.65% (289/44 464), respectively; all P < 0.05]. (3) Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of shoulder dystocia were maternal age over thirty-five years (OR = 1.116, 95%CI: 1.022-2.445), pre-gestational body mass index more than 27 kg/m(2) (OR = 1.893, 95% CI: 1.358-2.228), weight gain more than 20 kg during pregnancy (OR = 2.031, 95% CI: 1.749-3.231), shoulder dystocia medical history (OR = 2.138, 95%CI:1.564-3.853), macrosomia (OR = 3.276, 95% CI:2.315- 4.638), pre-gestational diabetes mellitus (OR = 3.261, 95% CI:2.237- 4.943), post-term pregnancy (OR = 1.473, 95% CI:1.003-2.721), prolongation of the maximum acceleration phase (OR = 2.022, 95% CI:1.681- 3.732), prolongation of second labor stage(OR = 1.943, 95% CI:1.285- 3.215).
Conclusion: Maternal age over thirty-five years old, pre-gestational body mass index more than 27 kg/m(2), weight gain more than 20 kg during pregnancy, shoulder dystocia medical history, macrosomia, pre-gestational diabetes mellitus, post-term pregnancy, prolongation of the maximum acceleration phase, and prolongation of second labor stage are risk factors and clinical characteristics of shoulder dystocia.

Introduction: Quality midwifery education is central to improving midwifery service delivery and maternal and newborn health outcomes. In many settings, midwifery educators insufficiently prepared for their teaching role and deficient curriculum compared to international standards affect the quality of healthcare provided by the midwifery graduates. This study assessed the effectiveness of an EmONC enhanced midwifery curriculum delivered by trained and mentored midwifery educators on the quality of education and student performance in Kenya.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnancy is associated with polyhydramnios, macrosomia, and shoulder dystocia, and it also increases maternal and perinatal mortality.
Methods: This sequential explanatory mixed-method study was conducted for six months. All the pregnant women attending the outpatient department of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department at 24-28 weeks of gestation were subjected to universal screening with 75 gms of glucose and 2 hours of plasma glucose >140 mgs% is taken for diagnosis (according to DIPSI guidelines).

Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that GDM diagnoses were more common (17%) with the one-step test compared to the two-step method (6%), and that adverse outcomes were generally low regardless of the testing approach.
- * The findings suggested that stricter testing (one-step) could lead to more GDM diagnoses but also indicated a potential increased risk for larger babies and preterm births linked to abnormal glucose levels just below diagnostic thresholds.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze outcomes for women with gestational or pre-existing diabetes during labor in midwifery units, comparing them to women without diabetes.
- Conducted through a national cohort study and practice survey, data was collected from midwifery units in the UK between October 2021 and February 2023.
- Results indicated that women with diabetes did not have significantly different maternal or neonatal outcomes compared to those without diabetes, suggesting that selected diabetic women can be safely managed in these units.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how maternal race/ethnicity influences the risk factors associated with brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) among live births in California from 1996-2012.
- It analyzed data from over 6.2 million maternal-infant pairs and found that Black and Hispanic individuals faced higher risks of obesity, diabetes, and limited prenatal care but lower risks concerning other BPBI-related factors.
- The findings suggest that these demographic groups are not only at lower risk for factors typically associated with BPBI, but the known risk factors explain only a small portion of the increased BPBI risk, indicating a need to investigate other contributing factors.
