The sFLT-1/PlGF Ratio for the Prediction of Preeclampsia-Related Adverse Fetal and Maternal Outcomes in Women with Preexisting Diabetes.

To evaluate the predictive value of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for the prediction of preeclampsia in women with preexisting diabetes mellitus. This is a monocentric retrospective observational study conducted between January 2018 and December 2020. All singleton pregnancies with preexisting diabetes mellitus, who had a dosage of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio between 30 and 34 + 6 weeks of gestation were included.

Persistent occiput posterior position: predictive factors of spontaneous rotation of the fetal head.

Objectives: To assess factors associated with spontaneous rotation in the occiput anterior position for fetuses in persistent occiput posterior (OP) during the second stage of labor. To evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes after spontaneous rotation of persistent OP.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort of 495 women with fetuses in persistent OP position, confirmed with ultrasonography during the second stage of labor.

Maternal and neonatal morbidity after forceps or spatulas-assisted delivery in preterm birth.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess perinatal morbidity associated with spatulas or forceps assisted delivery in preterm birth.

Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study including all women with assisted deliveries on singleton pregnancy in cephalic presentation, before 37 weeks of gestation, in two tertiary care centers. We compared forceps-assisted deliveries with spatula-assisted deliveries.
