Background: Studies evaluating the relationship between intrauterine hematoma in the first trimester and prenatal complications are conflicting.
Objectives: To evaluate whether intrauterine hematoma identified in the first trimester in women with singleton pregnancies is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes.
Search Strategy: A comprehensive literature search of three databases (Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science) was performed up to September 2021.
Selection Criteria: Cohort and case-control studies that have evaluated the relationship between intrauterine hematoma identified before 14 gestational weeks and the risk of prenatal complications, in women with a singleton pregnancy.
Data Collection And Analysis: Two members of our team independently assessed the studies for inclusion, collected the data of interest, and assessed the risk of bias, and calculated pooled odds ratios (ORs) using random-effects models.
Main Results: Nine studies, including 1,132 women with intrauterine hematoma and 11,179 controls met the inclusion criteria. Intrauterine hematoma increased the risk of spontaneous abortion [OR 2.15, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23-3.75], preterm birth (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.37-2.43), fetal growth restriction (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.13-4.83) and placental abruption (OR 3.16, 95% CI 1.23-8.13). No statistically significant association was found between intrauterine hematoma and preeclampsia (OR 1.30, 95% CI 0.87-1.94).
Conclusion: Intrauterine hematoma in the first trimester of pregnancy increases the risk of spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, placental abruption, and fetal growth restriction.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) affects both the mother and fetus during and after pregnancy. Multiple studies have shown the prognostic impact of DM on maternal and fetal outcomes, but studies at the national level are limited. Therefore, we aimed to conduct this nationwide study.

Pregnancy complications associated with thrombophilia represent significant risks for maternal and fetal health, leading to adverse outcomes such as pre-eclampsia, recurrent pregnancy loss, and intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR). They are caused by disruptions in key physiological processes, including the coagulation cascade, trophoblast invasion, angiogenesis, and immune control. Recent advancements in epigenetics have revealed that non-coding RNAs, especially microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and extracellular vesicles (EVs) carrying these RNAs, play crucial roles in the regulation of these biological processes.

Background/objectives: The clinical characteristics and outcomes of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) caused by irregular antibodies remain unclear. Herein, we analyzed the clinical features and prognosis of HDN.
Methods: Children admitted to our institution between June 2009 and December 2022 with a definite diagnosis of HDN were evaluated.

Background: Placenta praevia (PP) is a significant obstetric complication associated with antepartum haemorrhage (APH) and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Identifying risk factors for APH in women with PP is important for guiding management decisions.
Aims: This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with APH amongst women admitted to a single tertiary hospital with PP.
