Purpose: To evaluate changes in the independent contribution of different risk factors for placental abruption over time.
Methods: In this retrospective nested case-control study, trends of change in ORs for known risk factors for placental abruption occurring in three consecutive 8-year intervals were compared. A univariate assessment of factors associated with placental abruption and two multivariable logistic regression models were constructed to identify independent risk factors for placental abruption. Trends of change in the incidence and specific contribution of various risk factors were compared along the study time-period.
Results: During the study period, 295,946 pregnancies met the inclusion criteria; of these, 2170 (0.73%) were complicated with placental abruption. Using logistic regression models, previous cesarean delivery, in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy, hypertensive disorders, polyhydramnios, and inadequate prenatal care were recognized as independent risk factors for placental abruption. While the relative contribution of IVF pregnancy and polyhydramnios to the overall risk for abruption decreased over the course of the study, previous cesarean delivery became a stronger contributor for placental abruption.
Conclusion: In our study, a change over time in the specific contribution of different risk factors for placental abruption has been demonstrated.

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.

Introduction: Fetoscopic laser surgery (FLS) is the gold standard treatment for monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies complicated by twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). The aim of our study was to evaluate the rate and risk factors for cord entanglement in the presence of iatrogenic monoamnioticity (iMA), a consequence of inadvertent septostomy during FLS.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of two consecutive cohorts of FLS performed either using the selective technique from January 2004 to January 2012, or with the Solomon technique, from that date onwards.

Problem: Hashimoto's disease is the commonest autoimmune disease of pregnancy. The presence of Anti-Thyroid antibodies (ATAs) alone [subclinical hypothyroidism] has also been shown to have adverse pregnancy effects. These can result in failure to conceive, recurrent miscarriages, anemia, preeclampsia, and abruption.

Despite its critical importance, the placenta receives substantially less attention during obstetric ultrasound examinations compared to the fetus. The evaluation of the placenta is typically limited to determining its location within the uterus, particularly its relationship to the cervix. Abnormal placenta findings are the result of gross anomalies identified by chance during obstetric examinations, rather than from a systematic evaluation.
