Article Abstract

Preterm infants constitute an important proportion of neonatal deaths and various complications, and very preterm infants (VPI) are more likely to develop severe complications, such as intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), anemia, and sepsis. It has been confirmed that placental transfusion can supplement blood volume in infants and reduce preterm-associated complications, which is further conducive to the development of the nervous system and a better long-term prognosis. Based on these advantages, placental transfusion has been widely used in VPI. There are three main types of placental transfusion: delayed cord clamping (DCC), intact umbilical cord milking (I-UCM), and cut umbilical cord milking (C-UCM). However, the optimal method for PT-VPI remains controversial, and it is urgent to identify the best method of placental transfusion. We plan to fully evaluate the safety and effectiveness of these three placental transfusion methods in VPI in a 3-arm multicenter randomized controlled trial: Placental Transfusion in Very Preterm Infants (PT-VPI). Trial registration: chictr.org.cn, number ChiCTR2000030953.

Perinatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke in Monochorionic Twins: A Retrospective Observational Single-Center Cohort Study.

Stroke

September 2025

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Willem-Alexander Children's Hospital, Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands. (B.O.v.O., M.R., M.S.S., E.L., L.S.d.V., S.J.S.).

Background: Monochorionic twins, characterized by placental sharing and vascular anastomoses, carry a high risk of brain injury, including perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS). However, the pathophysiology and timing-related risk factors of PAIS remain unclear.

Methods: Retrospective cohort of all monochorionic twins with neuroimaging-confirmed PAIS born from 2005 to 2024 and evaluated at a Dutch national referral center.

Purpose: To compare the relationship between the severity of placenta abruptio and creatinine-fibrinogen ratio (CFR).

Patients And Methods: Patients with mild and severe placental abruption were separated. Patients with ≥1 maternal complications (eg, DIC, hypovolemic shock, blood transfusion, hysterectomy, acute kidney injury, death) were classified as severe placental abruption, while those without were classified as mild.

Rationale: Intraplacental choriocarcinoma (IC) coexisting with fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) in term pregnancy is rare and life-threatening for the mother and baby. The limited knowledge of this disease leads to delayed or missed diagnosis. This case report aims to illustrate how to avoid missed diagnosis through a more complicated case by the presence of fetal intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt (IPSVS).

To assess the effects of delayed cord clamping (DCC) at birth on newborns diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). This prospective, randomized, controlled study included newborns diagnosed with IUGR during pregnancy follow-up and born at a gestational age of ≥28 weeks. Early cord clamping (ECC) was performed immediately after birth, whereas DCC was performed 60 s postdelivery.

As maternal mortality has become increasingly rare in developed countries, it is no longer a reliable metric for evaluating obstetric care quality. To address this limitation, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the concept of maternal near miss (MNM)-a term adapted from aviation-to standardize the identification and analysis of severe maternal complications. In addition to MNM, various indices are used to assess both access to and the quality of healthcare services.
