TL;DR: To assess the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and related severe complications, identify other associated factors and compare maternal and perinatal outcomes in women with and without these conditions.

TL;DR: To assess the association between advanced maternal age (AMA) and adverse pregnancy outcomes, a large number of women under the age of 40 were surveyed for the first time and the results indicated a positive association betweenAMA and pregnancy outcomes.

TL;DR: To describe the management and outcomes of placenta accreta, incretA, and percreta in the UK, placentas are referred to as “percretas”.

TL;DR: To explore the clinical practices, risks, and maternal outcomes associated with postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), a large number of women were diagnosed with at least some form of bleeding during and after pregnancy.

TL;DR: This work aims to provide a database of known preventable maternal deaths in Brazil and describes how these deaths have changed over the past 50 years and how they have changed since the decriminalisation of smoking in Brazil.

TL;DR: Recent literature on the effect of induction of labour (compared with expectant management) has provided conflicting results, and reviews of post‐dates and term prelabour rupture of membrane trials suggest either no difference or a reduction in risk.

TL;DR: It is necessary to understand causes and contributing factors to understand why stillbirths occur worldwide and in developing countries, and how to reduce the number of still births in these countries.

TL;DR: Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and is endemic in much of Latin America and with increased globalisation and immigration, it is a risk in any country, partly through congenital transmission.

TL;DR: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risks of late fetal deaths and early neonatal deaths in women with medical and obstetric complications and to investigate the links between these deaths and maternal mortality.

TL;DR: To study the prevalence of niches in the caesarean scar in a random population, and the relationship with postmenstrual spotting and urinary incontinence.

TL;DR: To examine the association between maternal hyper‐ and hypothyroidism and the risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the child, a large number of patients were diagnosed with either ADHD or autism.

TL;DR: This work aims to determine whether premature menopause (≤40 years) can have long‐lasting effects on later‐life cognition and investigate whether this association varies depending on the type ofMenopause and use of hormone treatment (HT).

TL;DR: To identify risk factors for fear of childbirth according to parity and socioeconomic status, and to evaluate associations between FOC and adverse perinatal outcomes.

TL;DR: This work aims to identify modifiable risk factors for miscarriage and to estimate the preventable proportion of miscarriages that could be attributed to these.

TL;DR: More women with schizophrenia are becoming pregnant, such that contemporary data are needed about maternal and newborn outcomes in this potentially vulnerable group.

TL;DR: To investigate the impact of maternal body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) on clinical complications, inpatient admissions, and additional short‐term costs to the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland, a large number of women are obese.

TL;DR: Various therapies are currently used to treat symptoms related to the niche (an anechoic area) in the caesarean scar, in particular to treat abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).

TL;DR: Patients who have had a previous caesarean section could benefit from early (before 10 weeks) visualisation of the implantation site, as current data refer only to placentas implanted in the lower anterior uterine segment.

TL;DR: Pregnancy after perinatal death is characterised by elevated stress and anxiety, increasing the risk of adverse short‐term and long‐term outcomes.

TL;DR: The Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths in South Africa has been operational for 15 years and is currently able to perform routine maternal death surveillance at both national and district levels, identify deficiencies within the health system, generate reports and also provide early warning about alarming trends such as the increasing numbers of deaths due to caesarean‐section‐associated haemorrhage.

TL;DR: To investigate the demographic and obstetric factors associated with the uptake and success rate of vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC), a large number of women choose to have a vaginal birth following surgery.

TL;DR: To compare outcomes and management practices among pregnant and nonpregnant women with acute appendicitis, a large number of women were diagnosed with the disease while pregnant or shortly after giving birth.

TL;DR: To determine whether the use of ultrasound can reduce the incidence of incorrect diagnosis of the fetal head position at instrumental delivery and subsequent morbidity, a large number of patients with high-risk pregnancies are receiving ultrasound treatment.

TL;DR: Despite reports of efficacy against all grades of CIN (CIN1‐3), cold coagulation has been infrequently used since the 1980s, and was absent from the recent Cochrane review on CIN treatment.

TL;DR: Acknowledging these deaths to bring them ‘out of the shadows’17 and compassionate, respectful care for parents suffering perinatal loss, irrespective of country or resources are critical to addressing the totality of the burden of this public health problem.

TL;DR: Compared the effectiveness and safety of prolapse surgery versus combined prolapse and incontinence surgery in women with pelvic organ prolapse, which can reduce the incidence of stress urinaryincontinence after surgery, but may increase adverse events.

TL;DR: To study the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and to examine the role of hyperandrogenaemia.

TL;DR: To quantify reporting errors, measure incidence of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and define risk factors for PPH and progression to severe PPH (≥1500 ml).

TL;DR: Development of consensus is required around a set of welldefined, relevant, and feasible outcomes for all trials concerning particular obstetric and gynaecologic health conditions, such as preterm birth, incontinence, infertility, and menstrual problems.
