May 21st, 2020 - Fetal macrosomia is known to increase maternal and neonatal complications, but 20%-50% of the macrosomic fetuses are prenatally undiagnosed. Our objective was to identify specific factors associated with undiagnosed fetal macrosomia in women witho...

May 18th, 2020 - Purpose: To investigate clinical and sonographic features associated with sonographic accuracy for the prediction of small for gestational age (SGA) and macrosomia at birth.Methods: The database of a tertiary medical center was retrospectively sea...

Apr 30th, 2020 - Our objective was to compare the diagnostic characteristics of sonographic estimated fetal weight (SEFW) done within 7 versus 8-14 days before delivery for detection of fetal macrosomia (birthweight ≥ 4500 g). We performed a multicenter, retrospec...

Apr 25th, 2020 - The implantation of a gestational sac within the scar of a previous caesarean delivery is defined as caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), which is classified into two types: CSP I and CSP II. CSP II is life threatening, and no clear consensus for CSP I...

Apr 23rd, 2020 - An increased metabolic demand during pregnancy is fulfilled by gaining sufficient gestational weight. Women who gain inadequate-weight are at a high-risk of premature birth or having a baby with low-birth weight. However, women who gain excessive-...

Dec 19th, 2019 - Suspected macrosomia is encountered commonly in obstetric practice. As birth weight increases, the likelihood of labor abnormalities, shoulder dystocia, birth trauma, and permanent injury to the newborn increases. The purpose of this document is t...

Oct 24th, 2016 - Suspected fetal macrosomia is encountered commonly in obstetric practice. As birth weight increases, the likelihood of labor abnormalities, shoulder dystocia, birth trauma, and permanent injury to the neonate increases. The purpose of this documen...

Jun 18th, 2016 - Shoulder dystocia (SD) is defined as a vaginal delivery in cephalic presentation that requires additional obstetric maneuvers to deliver the fetus after the head has delivered and gentle traction has failed. It complicates 0.5-1% of vaginal delive...

May 2nd, 2018 - A randomized, multicenter trial failed to find glyburide noninferior to insulin for treatment of gestational diabetes, investigators reported. The composite rate of macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, and hyperbilirubinemia was 27.

Nov 21st, 2017 - WASHINGTON – To predict macrosomia, fetal abdominal circumference is the best single measure to obtain on ultrasound, John C. Hobbins, MD, said at the biennial meeting of the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group of North America.

Jul 31st, 2017 - During the past 45 years, the cesarean delivery (CD) rate in the United States has increased from 5. 5% in 1970 to 33% from 2009 to 2013, followed by a small decrease to 32% in 2014 and 2015.

Jun 7th, 2017 - Gestational weight gain above or below recommended amounts is associated with increased risk for adverse maternal and infant outcomes compared with weight gain within recommended levels, a new systematic review and meta-analysis of more than 1.3 m...

Feb 23rd, 2017 - LAS VEGAS – Fetal macrosomia can be challenging to detect by ultrasound performed just before delivery, which had 41% sensitivity and 58% positive predictive value in a prospective study of more than 2,300 pregnancies. The results also showed that.
