Article Abstract
Introduction: Studies investigating the risk factors associated with unfavorable maternal/neonatal outcomes in cases of shoulder dystocia are scarce. This study aims to uncover the predictive factors that give rise to unfavorable outcomes within the context of shoulder dystocia.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of pregnancies complicated by shoulder dystocia was obtained between 2008-2022 from a single tertiary center. This study involved the comparison of sociodemographic, sonographic, and delivery characteristics among pregnancies complicated by shoulder dystocia resulting in favorable vs. unfavorable maternal/neonatal outcomes.
Results: A total of 275 pregnancies were analyzed, with 111 (40.3%) classified as unfavorable outcomes and 164 (59.7%) as favorable outcomes. Employing a multivariable regression analysis, several independent associations were identified with unfavorable maternal/neonatal outcomes. Specifically, short maternal stature, pre-gestational diabetes, vacuum extraction, Wood's screw maneuver, and macrosomia merged as significant predictors of unfavorable maternal/neonatal outcomes.
Conclusion: Short maternal stature, pre-gestational diabetes, vacuum extraction, Wood's screw maneuver, and macrosomia may all contribute to poor maternal/neonatal outcomes in shoulder dystocia cases. This knowledge allows clinicians to improve their decision-making, patient care, and counseling.

To assess the relationship between time in range (TIR), extrapolated from self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) measures, and adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (T1D). A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including singleton pregnancies that began antenatal care before 20 weeks of gestation and delivered live newborns without malformations between 2010 and 2019. Glycemic data from SMBG were categorized into TIR (63-140 mg/dL or 3.

This is a case of a primigravid woman in her 20s who had prolonged labour complicated by shoulder dystocia and had emergency low transverse caesarean section. Postoperatively, the patient had continuous urine leakage per vagina and was assessed with a vesico-utero-vaginal (juxtacervical) fistula which was successfully repaired abdominally using modified O'Connor technique, cervical reconstruction and vaginal advancement flap.Vesicovaginal fistula from obstructed labour affects women in low-resource settings.

: Shoulder dystocia (ShD) is a rare but serious obstetric emergency associated with significant neonatal morbidity. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of machine learning (ML) models based on fetal biometric ratios and clinical characteristics for the identification of ShD in pregnancies without clinical suspicion of macrosomia. : We conducted a retrospective case-control study including 284 women (84 ShD cases and 200 controls) who underwent spontaneous vaginal delivery between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation.
