Aim: To assess the awareness, attitude, and acceptance of the Post Placental Intra Uterine Contraceptive Device (PPIUCD) as an immediate long-acting contraceptive method among Jordanian women.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at King Abdulla University Hospital among women attending antenatal clinics after 20 weeks of gestation between January 2020 and May 2021. One thousand and 30 women had completed a structured questionnaire in Arabic.

Vaginal birth after cesarean section prediction model for Jordanian population.

The rate of cesarean section has increased significantly worldwide, creating a group of women with one lower segment cesarean section concerned about the mode of delivery in their future pregnancies. This group of mothers will face a complex discussion because the likelihood for a successful vaginal birth after cesarean section provided to them is a general one. The probability of having a successful vaginal birth is the cornerstone factor of the mothers' decision.

Validation of the Grobman model for successful vaginal birth after cesarean section in Jordanian women.

Background: To validate both models of Grobman nomogram (The antenatal and the intrapartum model) for predicting successful intended Vaginal Birth After Caesarean delivery (VBAC) in a Jordanian population.

Methods: A retrospective study has identified all live, singleton, term, cephalic pregnancies with a previous lower segment cesarean section who opted for a Trial Of Labour After Caesarean Section (TOLAC) between January 2014 to December 2020. Five variables were used for the antenatal model, while ten variables were used for the intrapartum model.

Good maternal and fetal outcomes of three consecutive pregnancies in a Mediterranean woman with Alport syndrome: a case report.

Background: Alport syndrome is a rare inherited disorder affecting the glomerular basement membrane, manifested by hematuria and proteinuria that is commonly associated with ocular and hearing defects. There is limited information about the maternal and fetal outcomes of Alport syndrome in pregnancy.

Case Presentation: We describe a smooth course of pregnancy, a good maternal outcome, and a good fetal outcome in three consecutive pregnancies for a 35-year-old Mediterranean woman with Alport syndrome over a 10-year duration.

The Association between Late Third-Trimester Oxytocin Level and Early-Onset Postpartum Depression Symptoms among Jordanian Mothers: A Cross-sectional Study.

Purpose: Oxytocin has been suggested to play a vital role in modulating maternal behavior and stress-related disorders. However, the relationship between antenatal oxytocin and postpartum depression is not well established. We aim to investigate the association between serum oxytocin level in the late third-trimester and early-onset postpartum depression symptoms.

Clinical predictive factors for vaginal delivery following induction of labour among pregnant women in Jordan.

Background: Induction of labour (IOL) is an important and common clinical procedure in obstetrics. In the current study, we evaluate predictors of vaginal delivery in both nulliparous and multiparous women in north Jordan who were induced with vaginal prostaglandins.

Method: A prospective study was conducted on 530 pregnant women at King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) in north Jordan.

Pre-Implantation Gender Selection: Family Balancing in Jordan.

Purpose: To find out whether couples with predominant female offspring have more chances to produce more female embryos during non-medical pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for male sex selection.

Methods: A total of 125 couples who had three or more female offspring and underwent non-medical PGD for male sex selection between 2015 and 2019 were included. Nuclear DNA was analyzed by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH).

Knowledge and attitudes regarding Covid-19 among syrian refugee women in Jordan.

Objectives: To explore knowledge and attitude about Covid-19, among Syrian refugee mothers in the Governorate of Irbid, where the first outbreak of Covid-19 in Jordan took place.

Methods: This is a cross-section study among Syrian refugee mothers, who were pregnant or having had children. Data was collected through an online questionnaire.

The Use of Single Dose Methotrexate in the Management of Ectopic Pregnancy and Pregnancy of Unknown Location: 10 Years' Experience in a Tertiary Center.

Objective: To study factors associated with the success of single dose methotrexate (MTX) treatment in women with ectopic pregnancy.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of women (n=110) with ectopic pregnancy and treated with single dose of MTX. The clinical presentations, transvaginal sonography (TVS) findings, pretreatment beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG), and progesterone values were compared between the treatment success (Group S) and treatment failure (Group F) groups.

Distance education during the COVID-19 outbreak: A cross-sectional study among medical students in North of Jordan.

Introduction: In the spot of the new emerging COVID-19 pandemic and its major impact worldwide on day-to-day activities many rules had to be changed in order to fight this pandemic.

Factors that influenced pregnant women with one previous caesarean section regarding their mode of delivery.

Background: During the last decades, the rate of caesarean section is increasing and this can increase the mortality and morbidity. Up to one third of the caesarean sections are attributed to the elective repeat caesarean section (ERCS). This study aims to evaluate attitudes and factors affecting the choice of pregnant women with one previous caesarean section regarding their mode of delivery in their second pregnancy.

Intelligent system based on data mining techniques for prediction of preterm birth for women with cervical cerclage.

Preterm birth, defined as a delivery before 37 weeks' gestation, continues to affect 8-15% of all pregnancies and is associated with significant neonatal morbidity and mortality. Effective prediction of timing of delivery among women identified to be at significant risk for preterm birth would allow proper implementation of prophylactic therapeutic interventions. This paper aims first to develop a model that acts as a decision support system for pregnant women at high risk of delivering prematurely before having cervical cerclage.
