Objective: To evaluate if the implementation of a colorimetric quantitative blood loss (QBL) system during cesarean delivery improves clinical outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis after cesarean section before and after implementation of the Triton based colorimetric QBL system. Prevalence of postpartum hemorrhage, amount of blood products transfused, length of hospitalization, and rates of intensive care unit (ICU) admission were compared.
Results: A total of 2221 patients were included. There were 1192 patients in the pre-intervention group and 1029 patients in the post-intervention group. There was no significant difference between groups in the prevalence of postpartum hemorrhage (8.6% vs 9.3%, P = 0.57), amount of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) transfused (45 vs 30, P = 0.41) or average length of hospital stay in days (3.0 vs 3.0, P = 0.37). There was a statistically significant decrease in ICU admissions between the pre- and post-intervention groups (2.2% vs 1.0%, P = 0.02).
Conclusion: There was no effect of implementation of the colorimetric QBL application system on diagnosis of postpartum hemorrhage, amount of blood products transfused, or length of hospital stay. Although a significant decrease in ICU admissions was observed, we could not determine if these transfers were hemorrhage related.

Background: Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) has decreased worldwide but Pakistan is still striving towards achieving the SDG targets for maternal health. This study highlights the trends in maternal mortality levels and risk factors in Pakistan between 2007 and 2019.
Methods: This study compares the results of secondary data analysis of the Pakistan Maternal Mortality Survey 2019 with the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2007.

Objectives: To develop and validate a nomogram to predict severe postpartum hemorrhage following cesarean delivery.
Methods: This is a two-center retrospective cohort study. Cesarean delivery patients from the First Affiliate Hospital of Jinan University were divided into a development cohort (n = 11 137) and an internal validation cohort (n = 4739).
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, which is often attributed to retained placenta (RP) after delivery. There are no biomarkers currently used to predict a risk of developing RP/PPH prior to labor. The objective of this study was to determine relationships between placental biomarkers measured in the first and second trimesters and proxy measures of postpartum blood loss relative to preeclampsia status in the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-Be (nuMoM2b) dataset.

Background: Confidence in pregnancy outcome data for women with bipolar disorder is compromised by small cohort sizes. However, comprehensive national data have been published over the last decade, but no quantitative synthesis has been established to determine the factors associated with complications in these women. Our goal is to summarise the evidence of population-based data on obstetric complications and neonatal outcomes in women with bipolar disorder compared to women without bipolar disorder.

Amniotic fluid assessment is crucial in prenatal ultrasound to monitor fetal conditions, with polyhydramnios, characterized by excessive amniotic fluid, affecting 1%-2% of pregnancies. Polyhydramnios is linked to complications such as placental abruption, preterm labor, congenital anomalies, and postpartum hemorrhage, emphasizing the need for early detection and management. While idiopathic causes account for 60%-70% of cases, other causes include impaired fetal swallowing and increased urine production due to maternal, fetal, and placental conditions.
