MRI BRAIN lesions and growth after antenatal steroids in preterm infants: Does timing matter?

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Timing matters: antenatal corticosteroids reduce brain injury in very low birth weight infants, but their protective effect in extremely preterm neonates declines when birth occurs beyond 7 days from administration. Abstract Introduction Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) are widely used to improve outcomes in preterm infants, with known benefits on ...

Delivery mode and maternal health conditions before and after childbirth: A population‐based cohort study from Estonia

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Cesarean section is associated with higher rates of chronic health conditions and pregnancy‐related complications, whereas vaginal delivery is more commonly linked to pelvic floor and perineal complications. These findings emphasize the need for individualized decision‐making and thorough counseling about the risks and benefits of each delivery method.

Prenatal imaging phenotypes and outcomes of umbilical‐portal‐systemic venous shunts in singleton and twin pregnancies: A historical cohort study

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
This retrospective cohort compared umbilical‐portal‐systemic venous shunts in singleton and twin pregnancies. Type III was the most common subtype in singletons, whereas Type II was the most common in twins. Fetal growth restriction was more frequent in twins, but primary structural anomaly rates were similar.

Diagnostic performance and feasibility of classifying placental umbilical cord insertion during routine prenatal ultrasound

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Classification of placental umbilical cord insertion is feasible within the routine prenatal ultrasound examination, and reliably excludes abnormal insertion, although positive predictive values were low. Abstract Introduction Abnormal cord insertion (velamentous or marginal) is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, and guidelines recommend ...
