TL;DR: In women with suspected intrauterine growth restriction at term, it is rational to choose induction to prevent possible neonatal morbidity and stillbirth, and patients who are keen on non-intervention can safely choose expectant management with intensive maternal and fetal monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: To assess the effect of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on quality of life in acutely anaemic women after postpartum haemorrhage, a large number of women receive RBC transfusions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In women with intrauterine growth restriction at term, neither a policy of induction of labor nor Expectant management affect developmental and behavioral outcome when compared to expectant management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kim E. Boers,Linda van Wyk,Joris A. M. van der Post,Anneke Kwee,Maria G. van Pampus,Marc E.A. Spaanderdam,Johannes J. Duvekot,Henk A. Bremer,Friso M.C. Delemarre,Kitty W.M.

TL;DR: The incidence of neonatal morbidity in IUGR at term is comparable and relatively mild either after induction or after an expectant policy, however, neonatal admissions are lower after 38 weeks of pregnancy, so if induction to preempt possible stillbirth is considered, it is reasonable to delay until 38 weeks, provided watchful monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of health-related quality of life in the postpartum period after obstetric complications
Babette W. Prick,Denise Bijlenga,A.J. Gerard Jansen,Kim E. Boers,Sicco A. Scherjon,Corine M. Koopmans,Mariëlle G. van Pampus,Marie-Louise Essink-Bot,Dick J. van Rhenen,Ben W.J. Mol,Johannes J. Duvekot +10 more
TL;DR: In a heterogeneous obstetric population, only mode of delivery by cesarean section has a profound, negative impact, on physical HRQoL (PCS), and MCS was influenced only mildly by these parameters.
