Objective: To evaluate the impact of a previous pregnancy and delivery on perineal trauma rates in the subsequent vaginal birth.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study. The perineal outcomes of secundiparous women with history of previous (first) delivery in one of three categories: failed operative vaginal delivery (FOVD) and second-stage emergency cesarean section (EmCS); elective cesarean section (ElCS), and vaginal delivery (VD) with intact perineum, were compared with a control primiparous group.

Results: The percentage obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS)at first vaginal delivery was 17.3% (n = 9) after previous FOVD+EmCS, 12.9% (n = 18) after previous ElCS, and 0.6% (n = 9) after previous VD maintaining an intact perineum, compared with 6% (n = 1193) in the control primiparous group of women. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that previous FOVD+EmCS and ElCS were associated with a statistically significant increased risk of OASIS of 180% and 110% when compared with control (odds ratio [OR] 2.80; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-5.78 and OR 2.10; 95% CI 1.27-3.48, respectively). Previous VD with intact perineum was associated with a statistically significantly reduced risk of OASIS (OR 0.09; 95% CI 0.04-0.17).

Conclusions: Previous FOVD+EmCS and ElCS were associated with increased risk of OASIS in subsequent vaginal delivery compared with control, whereas previous VD with intact perineum was associated with decreased risk.

The combined impact of concurrent primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) on pregnancy outcomes remains underreported. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 115 pregnant patients diagnosed with pSS and delivering at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2009 to July 2023. The effects of AITD on maternal and neonatal outcomes were examined and compared to a control group without AITD.

Objective: The objective of the study was to assess whether the measurement of the angle of progression in nulliparous women in labour can predict the mode of delivery.

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rawalpindi Medical University from 16 February to 25 March 2024. Nulliparous pregnant women in the active first stage of labour with singleton pregnancy and cephalic presentation were included in the study after taking informed consent.

Background & Objective: To assess the association of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) conception with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) during the peripartum and postpartum periods.

Methods: Clinical records of 11,497 patients enrolled in Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital between March 2013 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the ART group and the natural conception group based on the mode of conception. The incidence of PPH and blood loss at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after delivery were compared.
