Introduction: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease. It has been associated with high maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the outcomes of Dengue infection in pregnant women in terms of maternal bleeding, miscarriage, preterm delivery, severe Dengue, Dengue shock and maternal mortality, as well as foetal outcomes in terms of foetal distress, low birth weight and neonatal mortality.
Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and was PROSPERO-registered (CRD42024578212). It examined publications from 2019-2024 across major databases, including Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo, and CENTRAL. The selection process utilised Rayyan AI for duplicate removal, followed by a two-reviewer screening system. The two reviewers initially filtered the papers by title and, then, by abstract; finally, they read the full text and chose the articles to synthesise. The same two reviewers performed data extraction independently using a Microsoft Excel matrix. For the risk of bias assessment and Quality evaluation, the ROBINS-E tool and the STROBE guidelines were employed.
Results: Maternal Dengue was associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery and complications such as obstetric bleeding, especially postpartum haemorrhage, which was a complication that reached proportions of up to 25% in some studies. Severe Dengue and Dengue shock were also complications present in these women; thrombocytopenia was the most common sign, and complications such as pre-eclampsia and multi-organ dysfunction appeared, leading to fatal outcomes such as maternal and foetal mortality.
Conclusions: Dengue infection during gestation carries significant maternal health risks, including complications such as bleeding, miscarriage and preterm delivery. In addition, it is associated with foetal distress and low birth weight, as well as increased foetal and neonatal mortality, highlighting the need for vigilance and appropriate medical care.

This study investigated the use of group body mapping as a methodological tool to explore experiences of obstetric violence among migrant women from Senegal, Morocco, and Pakistan in Catalonia. The research aimed to assess the effectiveness of group body mapping in identifying the barriers these women faced during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, while also highlighting the intersectional dimensions of obstetric violence. The study identified seven key codes-Issues/Barriers, Trust, Gender, Body/Embodiment, Significant Relationships, Employment, and Gender-Based Violence-which were analyzed from an intersectional perspective.

Management of the placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) in resource-limited settings poses significant challenges. Traditional approaches, which often involve hysterectomy and extensive technology in all the patients are being replaced by individualized treatment plans considering each patient's specific clinical situation, available resources, and team expertise. Using ultrasonographic and surgical staging based on PAS topographic classification can help design tailored surgical plans and optimize resource use.

Uterine rupture constitutes a critical obstetric emergency that presents substantial risks to both the maternal and fetal populations. This investigation evaluated the surgical interventions available for uterine rupture, emphasizing laparoscopic repair subsequent to uterine rupture. Laparoscopic repair serves as a fertility-sustaining alternative to conventional laparotomy, demonstrating comparable operative durations of 80 min (interquartile range [IQR] 60-114) for laparoscopic procedures versus 78 min (IQR 58-114) for laparotomy interventions.
