In Brief OBJECTIVE: To evaluate antenatal surveillance strategies and the optimal timing of delivery for monoamniotic twin pregnancies. METHODS: Obstetric perinatal outcomes were retrospectively retrieved 193 Fetal neonatal compared between fetuses followed in an inpatient setting those undergoing intensive outpatient follow-up from 26 to 28 weeks gestation until planned cesarean 32 35 gestation. The risk fetal death was with complications. RESULTS: deaths occurred 18.1% (70/386). Two...
Aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, potential risk factors and respective outcomes pregnancies with placenta praevia.Data were prospectively collected from women diagnosed praevia in 10 Austrian hospitals province Styria between 1993 2012. We analyzed praevia. Differences major (complete or partial praevia) minor (marginal low-lying placenta) evaluated.328 patients identified. The wide incidence 0.15%. Maternal morbidity high (ante-partum bleeding [42.3%], post-partum hemorrhage...
Does the prevalence of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes vary in women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) according to different definitions? A comparison criteria revealed that there is a substantial risk for perinatal complications PCOS women, regardless used definition. Pregnant are susceptible complications. At present, three main definitions PCOS. So far, we aware only one study, which found elevated varied widely depending on phenotypes features but considered...
First-trimester screening between 11 + 0 and 13 6 weeks with qualified prenatal counseling, detailed ultrasound, biochemical markers maternal factors has become the basis for decisions about further examinations. It detects numerous structural genetic anomalies. The inclusion of uterine artery Doppler PlGF screens preeclampsia fetal growth restriction. Low-dose aspirin significantly reduces prevalence severe preterm eclampsia. Cut-off values define groups high, intermediate low probability....
ABSTRACT Objectives To explore the association between fetal umbilical and middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler abnormalities outcome in late preterm pregnancies at risk of growth restriction. Methods This was a prospective cohort study singleton restriction 32 + 0 to 36 6 weeks gestation, enrolled 33 European centers 2017 2018, which MCA velocimetry performed. Pregnancies were considered if they had estimated weight and/or abdominal circumference (AC) < 10 th percentile, abnormal...

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the antenatal management and outcome in a large international cohort of monochorionic twin pregnancies with spontaneous or post‐laser anemia–polycythemia sequence (TAPS). Methods This study analyzed data diagnosed antenatally TAPS 17 fetal therapy centers, recorded Registry between 2014 2019. Antenatal diagnosis was based on middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity > 1.5 multiples median (MoM) donor < 1.0 MoM recipient. The following groups were...
Importance Preventive efforts in pregnancy-related alloimmunization have considerably decreased the prevalence of hemolytic disease fetus and newborn (HDFN). International studies are therefore essential to obtain a deeper understanding postnatal management outcomes HDFN. Taken together with numerous treatment options, large practice variations among centers may exist. Objectives To assess HDFN international identify opportunities improve care. Design, Setting, Participants In this...
Abstract Background Diagnosis and management of non-obstetric abdominal pathologies during pregnancy are clinically challenging for both obstetricians general surgeons. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome pregnant patients who had undergone surgery. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 76 required surgery at our department from January 2005 December 2015. Data were collected medical records as well institutional perinatal database. evaluated data clinical presentation, perioperative...
BackgroundTwin anemia polycythemia sequence is a chronic form of unbalanced fetofetal transfusion through minuscule placental anastomoses in monochorionic twins, leading to the donor and recipient. Owing low incidence twin sequence, data on diagnosis, management, outcome are limited.ObjectiveThis study aimed investigate large international cohort spontaneous sequence.Study DesignData from registry, retrospectively collected between 2014 2019, were used for this study. A total 17 fetal...
Early bonding by skin-to-skin contact (SSC) has been demonstrated to be beneficial for mothers and newborns following vaginal delivery. The aim of this study was investigate the impact intraoperative (early SSC) after cesarean section on neonatal adaptation, maternal pain stress response.This prospective, randomized-controlled pilot performed at a single academic tertiary hospital (Department Obstetrics Gynecology, Medical University Graz, Austria) between September 2013 January 2014. Women...
The new expert recommendation from the Austrian Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OEGGG) comprises an interpretation summary guidelines leading specialist organisations worldwide (RCOG, ACOG, SOGC, CNGOF, WHO, NIH, NICE, UpToDate). In essence it outlines alternatives to direct pathway elective repeat caesarean section (ERCS). so doing aligns with international trends, according which a differentiated, individualised clinical approach is recommended that considers benefits risks both...
Abstract The following AWMF guideline (DGGG/AGG & DEGUM responsible) deals with the diagnosis, screening and management of twins as well timing mode birth. Twin pregnancies can be classified dichorionic diamniotic (DC DA), monochorionic (MC DA) monoamniotic MA) which are always monochorionic. concordant (both affected) or discordant (only one twin is for chromosomal defects, malformations, growth restriction hemodynamic disorders. Chorionicity prognostically most significant parameter....
