Article Abstract
Introduction: Postpartum haemorrhage is a major cause of maternal mortality. Although contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) is useful to reveal arterial bleeding, its accuracy in postpartum haemorrhage is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of CE-CT scanning in detecting postpartum haemorrhage.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. We included patients with postpartum haemorrhage treated by emergency physicians in collaboration with obstetricians. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for CE-CT scanning to detect arterial bleeding.
Results: CE-CT scanning was performed in 52 patients, and 31 patients had extravasation. The sensitivity of CE-CT scanning to detect arterial extravasation was 100% (15/15), specificity was 28.6% (2/7), positive predictive value was 75% (15/20), and negative predictive value was 100% (2/2).
Conclusion: We showed the sensitivity of CE-CT scanning to detect arterial extravasation in patients with postpartum haemorrhage to be 100%.

Background: Maternal cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of maternal mortality. Data on anaesthetic management in patients with CVD is limited.
Methods: This ten-year retrospective cohort study of 508 pregnancies in women with CVD, stratified by modified World Health Organization (mWHO) risk category, compared lowrisk (mWHO I-II) (n = 323) and high-risk (mWHO II to III-IV) (n = 185) groups to a control obstetric population (n = 55,153).

Women's Health Research Collaborative, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Reproductive-age women with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) following uterine surgery may be asymptomatic or may experience light or absent menstruation, infertility, preterm delivery, and/or peripartum hemorrhage. Understanding procedure- and technique-specific risks and the available evidence on the impact of surgical adjuvants is essential to the design of future research.
Objective And Rationale: While many systematic reviews have been published, most deal with singular aspects of the problem.
Uterine Reaction to Oxytocin and Maternal-Neonatal Outcomes in Inducing Labor: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

School of Nursing and Rehabilitation, Nantong University, Nantong, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China.
Background: Previous studies did not investigate the effect of gradually increasing the concentration of low-dose oxytocin on mother and newborn outcomes. The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship between oxytocin responsiveness and outcomes for both mothers and newborns during labor induction.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Nantong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and participants were divided into the early reaction to oxytocin group and the later reaction to oxytocin group based on oxytocin response.
