OBJECTIVES We examined abruption risk in relation to change in paternity, and evaluated if birth interval confounds this association. SETTING Population-based study of singleton births in Norway between 1967 and 2009. PARTICIPANTS Women who had their first two (n=747 566) singleton births in the Norwegian Medical Birth Registry. The associations between partner change between pregnancies an...

The development of a placenta is complex process that occurs without clinically significant issue in most pregnancies. At times, however, the develops way isolates an island placental tissue away from main body, connected only by unprotected vasculature within amniotic membranes. vessels this succenturiate lobe are vulnerable both to compression or laceration, threatening antepartum period with...

The study provided baseline data of abruptio placentae in Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), Ghana, and gave recommendations to minimize poor outcomes. A prospective cross sectional study was conducted at the Maternity Department of the KBTH between February 2008 and January 2010. Two hundred women with diagnosis of placental abruption were studied using a pretested standardized structured ques...

This was a retrospective review of normally formed perinatal deaths among 176,620 births at the National Maternity Hospital (1984-2007). Prelabor stillbirths were categorised by presumed cause of death including unexplained, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), placental abruption, red cell alloimmunisation (RCA) and deaths related to prematurity. Peripartum deaths included intrapartum and f...

Epidemiologists have grouped the multiple disorders that lead to preterm delivery before the 28th week of gestation in a variety of ways. The authors sought to identify characteristics that would help guide how to classify disorders that lead to such preterm delivery. They enrolled 1,006 women who delivered a liveborn singleton infant of less than 28 weeks' gestation at 14 centers in the United...

Addressing the burden of stillbirths is a worldwide priority.1 As many stillbirths are not associated with known risk factors, including previous obstetric history in primigravidas,2 the value of routine blood tests such as maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) to identify pregnant women at risk should be explored. Although the main indication for MSAFP analyses in the mid-trimester is the e...

nt matter & 2006 gyn.2006.01.003 thor. Tel.: +44 20 . [email protected] Summary Antepartum haemorrhage is bleeding from the genital tract in the second half of pregnancy. It continues to be an important cause of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. In those cases where a cause is identified, placental abruption and placenta praevia are two common responsible conditions. In the remaining h...

Maternal and perinatal health is one of today’s global priorities. Cardiovascular disease stroke are the leading causes maternal mortality. Placental abruption remains a critical concern for morbidity because it has been associated with long-term vascular disease. However, there neither much literature available in Spanish nor recent evidence elucidating some questions on this topic. Thus, revi...
