Introduction: Antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) administration before anticipated preterm birth is one of the most important interventions available to improve neonatal outcomes. Nevertheless, this treatment is associated with an increased risk of neonatal hypoglycemia. The aim of this study was to determine whether preterm twins who receive ACS are at increased risk for developing neonatal hypoglycemia.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between plateletcrit (PCT) and stages of hypertensive disease of pregnancy by comparing values in groups with healthy pregnancies, gestational hypertension [GHT], preeclampsia with proteinuria [PE + P] and severe preeclampsia with proteinuria [sPE + P]. The secondary aim was to investigate how proteinuria affects PCT values in these patients.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) accounts for approximately 2% of all pregnancies, with tubal ectopic pregnancies (TEPs) being the most common type. Methotrexate (MTX) is a noninvasive and effective medical management option for TEP, but failure rates range from 10 to 36%, posing challenges in clinical practice. Identifying risk factors for MTX treatment failure is crucial to improve patient outcomes and guide clinical decision-making.
