Objective: To investigate factors associated with unscheduled cesarean delivery at one urban tertiary medical center.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 11 162 deliveries between 2009 and 2019. The dependent variable was unscheduled cesarean delivery. Covariates examined included time of delivery, as well as several maternal and pregnancy-related factors.
Results: There were a total of 7037 (63.1%) vaginal, 1133 (10.1%) elective cesarean, and 2992 (26.8%) unscheduled cesarean deliveries. Independent factors associated with increased odds for unscheduled cesarean delivery included daytime delivery (odds ratio [OR] 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.18-1.42, P < 0.001); advanced maternal age (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.26-1.56, P < 0.001); obesity (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.03-1.05, P < 0.001); history of previous cesarean delivery (OR 2.77, 95% CI 1.91-4.01, P < 0.001); hypertension (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.27-2.32, P < 0.001); multiparity (OR 3.99, 95% CI 2.82-5.64, P < 0.001); pre-eclampsia (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.33-2.89, P = 0.001); and HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count) syndrome (OR 5.45, 95% CI 1.13-26.28, P = 0.035).
Conclusion: Factors associated with unscheduled cesarean delivery in this study cohort included daytime delivery, advanced maternal age, obesity, hypertension, previous cesarean delivery, multiparity, preterm labor, pre-eclampsia, and HELLP syndrome.

Objectives: The placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PASD) are associated with significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. As cesarean delivery rates increase, so does the rate of PASD. PASD antepartum diagnosis and perioperative management are evolving, and we primarily aimed to share our tertiary care centre's institutional approach and outcomes over a decade.

Introduction: Preeclampsia and eclampsia are hypertensive disorders of pregnancy associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological complication observed in these conditions, yet its impact on fetomaternal outcomes remains underexplored. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between PRES and fetomaternal outcomes in women with preeclampsia and eclampsia.

Background: Remote blood pressure monitoring refers to an organized framework that either allows clinicians to review home-based blood pressure readings and institute management, or provide participants with clear instructions for contacting care teams when blood pressure readings are out of prespecified targets. With widespread uptake of telemonitoring and mobile health in recent years, such models of care have been increasingly described in the literature.
Objectives: This study aimed to review remote blood pressure monitoring in pregnant and postpartum women who are at high-risk for or have an established diagnosis of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and its effect on maternal and fetal outcomes, healthcare utilization and psychosocial outcomes.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the composite maternal hemorrhagic outcomes (CMHOs) among term (≥37 weeks) singletons who had scheduled versus unscheduled cesarean deliveries (CDs). A subgroup analysis was done for those without prior uterine surgeries.
Study Design: Retrospectively, we identified all singletons at term who had CDs.

Objective: This study aimed to identify risk factors for postpartum readmission (PPR) in class 3 obese patients undergoing unscheduled cesarean deliveries.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study of patients with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥40 kg/m undergoing unscheduled cesarean delivery from 2017 to 2020 comparing patients with and without PPR (unexpected admission, emergency room/overnight observation visit, unscheduled outpatient visit, or ambulatory surgery within 30 days). Medical history, operative data, and postpartum outcomes were compared between the cohorts.
