Objective: To identify risk factors for developing early postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and to examine whether risk factors vary according to severity and mode of delivery.

Methods: A population-based cohort study was conducted in which all deliveries at a tertiary medical center were included. Risk factors for developing early PPH were compared based on the severity of bleeding as well as the mode of delivery. Multiple logistic regression models were used to control for confounders.

Results: Among 322 497 deliveries included in the analysis, early PPH complicated 1811 (0.56%) of all deliveries. Among all cases of early PPH, 505 deliveries (28%) were complicated with severe PPH. Using a logistic regression model, in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy, previous cesarean delivery (CD), pre-eclampsia, placental abruption, and uterine rupture were independently associated only with severe early PPH, while non-progressive second stage of labor, induction of labor, and large for gestational age were independently associated with both severe and mild early PPH. When applying an additional logistic regression model, whereas IVF pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, and large for gestational age were independently associated with early PPH among vaginal deliveries only, placenta previa was independently associated with early PPH among CD only.

Conclusions: Independent risk factors for developing severe PPH solely include IVF pregnancy, previous CD, pre-eclampsia, placental abruption, and uterine rupture. IVF pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, and large for gestational age are independent risk factors for early PPH following vaginal delivery, while placenta previa is independently associated with early PPH after CD only. Due to the recognition of the importance of both the provider and institutional planning and preparation for PPH, the study's results should be viewed within the scope of its retrospective cohort design.

Background: Development of PRAKI due to various gestation-related complication leads to poor maternal and foetal outcome. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of PRAKI resulting in CKD, associated factors and feto-maternal outcome.

Methods: In this prospective observational study patients with PRAKI requiring ≥ 1 session of haemodialysis were included and followed up for 6 months to assess renal outcomes.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) typically occurs in an older patient population. Yet, early-onset pancreatic cancer (EOPC) has one of the fastest growing incidence rates. This study investigated the influence of age and tumor location on postoperative morbidity and mortality in a large, real-world dataset.

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.

Taxanes, such as paclitaxel (PTX), stabilize microtubules and are used as a first-line therapy in multiple cancer types. Disruption of microtubule equilibrium, which plays an essential role in mitosis and cell homeostasis, ultimately results in cell death. Even though PTX is a very potent chemotherapy, its use is associated with major side effects and therapy resistance.

Severe postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a dangerous condition, characterized by rapid progression and poor prognosis. It remains the leading preventable cause of maternal death worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for severe PPH and establish a prediction model to identify severe PPH early, allowing for early intervention reduce maternal death.
