Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Intrauterine hemostatic devices are recommended when PPH does not respond to medical treatment. The objective of this study was to assess the factors leading to unsuccessful intrauterine therapy with a chitosan-covered tamponade (CT) for the treatment of PPH and to evaluate clinical outcomes based on real-world data.
Methods: This registry-based cohort study included all women treated with CT for PPH between January 2017 and June 2022 at a university clinic's perinatal department. The endpoint was defined as the failure of CT, indicated by the requirement of further invasive procedures for ongoing hemorrhage after CT application. Medical records were reviewed and binary logistic regressions used to evaluate delivery mode, placenta previa, and placenta accreta spectrum as potential risk factors for CT treatment failure.
Results: The cohort consisted of 230 women, with successful CT treatment in 91.3%. The success rate for mild PPH was 100.0%, for moderate 95.5%, and for severe 84.2%. Five hysterectomies were performed in total. Placenta previa in cesarean sections was identified as the primary risk factor for CT treatment failure, increasing the odds about 7.5-fold (Odds Ratio: 7.48; 95% CI: 1.87-33.15) compared to cesarean sections without placenta previa. Furthermore, delays in CT insertion may also contribute to treatment failure.
Conclusion: CT serves as an intrauterine treatment for medically intractable PPH. Placenta previa significantly increases the risk of CT treatment failure in cesarean sections. Obstetricians should be particularly vigilant in managing patients with placenta previa and consider early use of CT or a combination of procedures.
Trial Registration: This study was approved by the local Ethics Committee on 11/10/2021 (EA4/231/21).

Is it possible to predict severe postpartum hemorrhage and the need for massive transfusion in placenta previa cases?

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Okan University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Objectives: The aim was to construct a reliable working model for patients with placenta previa (PP) that aids in the prediction of postpartum bleeding potential with data from antenatal imaging studies using both ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Material And Methods: Forty-three patients with PP were evaluated initially with the US and then by 3-Tesla MRI. The Placenta Accreata Index (PAI) was used during the US evaluation in order to define the risks.

Introduction: Obstetric hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. One of the major risk factors of obstetric hemorrhage include placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders. The frequency of PAS disorders is increasing worldwide and is accompanied by massive intraoperative bleeding with hemorrhagic shock and increasing rates of cesarean hysterectomy.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether cases of placenta previa and low-lying placenta previa in patients with retroverted uterus are significantly associated with endometriosis.
Methods: Participants were patients who underwent cesarean section at our hospital with a diagnosis of placenta previa or low-lying placenta previa within a 7-year period from January 2015 to December 2022. Of these, patients with multiple pregnancies and those without a complete uterine image in the medical record at less than 12 weeks' gestation were excluded.

Objective: In animal models, internal iliac artery occlusion caused gestational hypertension; however, whether this phenomena occurs in humans is still unknown.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the Birth Certificate Application of Taiwan and linked to the National Health Insurance Research Database and Taiwan Maternal and Child Health Database from 2008 to 2017. Women who underwent internal iliac artery occlusion before pregnant were identified according to diagnosis and procedure codes.

Background: Limited literature exists on labor and delivery outcomes after bariatric surgery. This study assesses the impact of prior bariatric surgery on peripartum outcomes.
Methods: We queried the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2020) for labor and delivery admissions, categorizing them into three cohorts: prior bariatric surgery (BaS), obesity without prior bariatric surgery, and controls without obesity.
