TL;DR: The RFM care package did not reduce the risk of stillbirths and the benefits of a policy that promotes awareness of RFM remains unproven.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real increasing incidence of hysterectomy for placenta accreta following previous caesarean section
TL;DR: The frequency of placenta accreta correlated steadily with the CS rate until 2000, but since then the incidence has nearly doubled in women with previous CS scars, suggesting an additional causative influence on risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Second Victim: a Review.
TL;DR: This review aimed to study not only the phenomenon of second victim in general medical care but to also concentrate on maternity care where the expectation of perfection may be argued to be greater.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of maternal and fetal growth factors in diabetic pregnancy.
TL;DR: Maternal and fetal growth factors, including insulin, in the aetiology of macrosomia in diabetic pregnancy are reviewed with particular reference to both pre-gestational (type 1 and type 2 diabetes) and gestational diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereology of the placenta in type 1 and type 2 diabetes
TL;DR: This study demonstrates an association between maternal diabetes and increased terminal villous volume and capillary volume and length is increased in the placentae of normally grown infants of T1DM diabetic mothers compared to non-diabetic controls, suggesting that factors other than glycaemia have a role in placental development in pre-gestational diabetes.
