This study investigated the relationship between maternal serum amyloid A (SAA) levels, a biomarker of systemic inflammation, and specific neonatal outcomes in preterm birth (PTB). The study included 66 consecutive pregnant women hospitalized for spontaneous preterm delivery (ranging from 28 to 36 gestational weeks), at the Timisoara Municipal Hospital. The study measured mSAA levels to assess their potential as predictors of fetal outcomes (respiratory distress syndrome [RDS]), as well as their association with APGAR score, neonatal leukocyte count, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels as indicators of neonatal status and response.

The need for cardiovascular surgery during pregnancy is infrequent but is expected to increase as more patients with congenital heart disease live into childbearing years.

This report summarizes the current knowledge regarding optimal intraoperative techniques for the pregnant patient and provides recommendations to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes.
