Objective: To compare the obstetric and perinatal outcomes between fresh embryo transfer (ET) and frozen-thawed ET (the "freeze-all" strategy) and evaluate the benefits of the "freeze-all" embryo strategy for young patients.
Methods: We reviewed a total of 2091 ET cycles performed between January, 2011 and December, 2015 in women aged 20-35 years, including 1295 fresh ET cycles and 796 frozen-thawed ET cycles. The demographic characteristics, ovarian stimulation syndrome, clinical pregnancy rates, live birth rate and the obstetric outcomes (gestational age, preterm delivery rate and mean birth weight) were compared between the two groups.
Results: The mean age of the patients receiving frozen-thawed ET cycles had a significantly younger age than those having fresh ET cycles (29.5 vs 30.2 years, P<0.05); the patients undergoing frozen-thawed ET cycles also had significantly higher estradiol level on the day of trigger (12 973 pmol/L vs 8673 pmol/L) and a greater oocyte number retrieved (12.7 vs 8.7). The incidence of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was significantly lower in patients with frozen ET than those with fresh ET (P<0.05). No significant differences were found in the pregnancy rate (59.5% vs 56.0%; P>0.05), live birth rate (50.3% vs 47.0%; P>0.05), mean birth weight or gestational age between the two groups.
Conclusions: The freeze-all policy produces similar pregnancy and obstetric outcomes with those of fresh ET. Our results support the hypothesis that the freeze-all strategy help to prevent OHSS with a good pregnancy rate.

Aims: To determine the effectiveness of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing vaginal bleeding, extending pregnancy duration, and enhancing perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with placenta previa.
Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted at three maternity teaching hospitals in Iraq's Kurdistan region, Azadi Hospital in the north of Iraq, and Al-Azhar University Hospital in Egypt on 146 women with placenta previa. Participants were randomly assigned to two interventional groups in a 1:1 ratio to receive either TXA or Dextrose 5% water (D5W).

Background: Low birth weight is a key determinant of child survival, significantly influencing rates of infant and childhood mortality, morbidity, and disability. While some studies have been conducted in our region, there is still a gap in evidence regarding the maternal characteristics associated with low birth weight. Hence, this study aimed to determine the proportion of newborns with low birth weight and determinant factors, particularly focusing on maternal characteristics.

Background: Premature births has imposed substantial burdens on medical resources. Consequently, a specialized team was established and a model focused on early intervention, namely the Delivery Room Intensive Care Unit (DICU) emphasizing "care, support, and treatment" was introduced and its impact on the morbidity and mortality outcomes of newborns was assessed. Additionally, we aimed to develop a nomogram model for predicting the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants.

Introduction: Patients with advanced ovarian cancer often require radical cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy, with or without targeted therapy. Return to intended oncological therapy after surgery is a crucial metric, as delay can worsen survival. The concept of return to intended oncological therapy is important because it highlights the need for not just successful surgical outcomes, but also the ability to continue with the comprehensive cancer treatment plan.
