Prediction and prevention of stillbirth: dream or reality
Purpose of review Stillbirth has a high global prevalence and has not improved despite other advances in maternal and perinatal outcomes in the last 20 years. The global applicability of research is challenged by the fact that most evidence originates from high-income countries, whereas the burden is greatest in low- and middle-income countries. Robust universally applicable evidence is therefore desired to address this problem. Recent findings Good quality evidence has identified key risk factors for stillbirth. However, an effective universally applicable model is yet to be developed. Published prediction mode...

A review on management of caesarean scar pregnancy
Purpose of review To review the current literature on management of cesarean scar pregnancy. Recent findings Caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a complex pathologic condition, which is strictly related to a previous caesarean section. It is an iatrogenic disorder, that has had an exponential increase over the last few years linked to the parallel increase in the number of caesarean sections. The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) confirmed the presence of surgical, medical, and minimally invasive therapies for caesarean scar pregnancy management but the optimal treatment is not known; the main recommendat...

Mother-to-child transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2: review of classification systems and systematic reviews
Purpose of review To review the various classification systems for mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of SARS-CoV-2 and collate existing evidence on systematic reviews of MTCT of SARS-CoV-2. Recent findings To-date, there are three classification systems for MTCT of SARS-CoV-2, including the WHO classification developed by expert consensus, based on in-utero, intrapartum and postnatal exposure of the babies to the virus. The systems variously classify babies tested for suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection as confirmed, probable, possible, indeterminate and unlikely for MTCT. To-date, 68 systematic reviews have been p...

Obstetric venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, risk factors and outcomes
Purpose of review Risk factors for obstetric venous thromboembolism (VTE), a leading cause of maternal mortality in the United States, are increasing on a population basis. This review provides the obstetrician with an update of current issues related to obstetric VTE risk, prophylaxis, outcomes, anaesthesia considerations and future research opportunities. Recent findings Obstetric VTE affects approximately 1 per 1000 pregnancies and accounts consistently for 9–10% of maternal deaths in the United States. In industrialized countries, risk factors for VTE, including overweight/obesity, caesarean delivery and o...

Pregnancy and multiple sclerosis: an update
Purpose of review To provide the latest evidence and treatment advances of multiple sclerosis in women of childbearing age prior to conception, during pregnancy and postpartum. Recent findings Recent changes permitting interferon beta (IFN-β) use in pregnancy and breastfeeding has broadened the choices of disease modifying treatments (DMTs) for patients with high relapse rates. Natalizumab may also be continued until 34 weeks of pregnancy for patients requiring persisting treatment. Drugs with a known potential of teratogenicity such as fingolimod or teriflunomide should be avoided and recommended wash-out ti...

Management of recurrent miscarriages: an overview of current evidence
The objective of this review is to provide a critical summary of the latest evidence for the investigation and management of women with RM. Recent findings RMs are associated with multiple factors including increased female age and lifestyle habits, as well as genetic factors, hereditary and acquired thrombophilia and infections. Metabolic and endocrine factors, in addition to anatomical causes such as uterine malformations have also been suggested as a causative factors of RM. Summary The management of RM would be expected to cause specific, however, in the majority of the cases no cause is identified, and t...

The obstetric patient in the Covid pandemic: anaesthesia and perioperative care
Purpose of review : The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on pregnant women, maternity services and healthcare workers. We review recent literature on the course of COVID-19 infection in pregnancy, and recommendations for treatment and service provision. Recent findings It has been increasingly recognised that pregnant women are at higher risk of severe disease associated with COVID-19 infection. Early critical care input is crucial to guide respiratory support and techniques such as prone positioning, with a low threshold for intubation in critical illness. Timing of d...
