Aim: To compare perinatal outcome of patients with HELLP syndrome to that of patients with chronic hypertension and superimposed preeclampsia on chronic hypertension without HELLP syndrome.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the perinatal outcome of 147 pregnancies complicated by the HELLP syndrome, chronic hypertension, and superimposed preeclampsia on chronic hypertension without HELLP syndrome.
Results: Gestational age at delivery and birthweights were lower among women with HELLP syndrome than among women with superimposed preeclampsia and chronic hypertension (P < 0.05)...

Objective: To compare perinatal outcomes in spontaneous twins compared with those conceived by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Design: Retrospective case-control study.
Patients: Cases consisted of 274 intracytoplasmic sperm injection twins, controls were 348 naturally conceived twins delivered between 1999 and 2003 in a tertiary hospital.
Main outcome measures: Birth weight, gestational age at birth, cesarean delivery rate, perinatal mortality and morbidity, congenital anomalies, gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension.
Results: Preterm deliveries (76.6% vs...

Objectives: To study the association between thickness of the umbilical cord at 11+0 to 14+6 gestational weeks and perinatal outcome.
Methods: We studied 216 pregnant women between 11+0 and 14+6 weeks' gestation with singletons, intact membranes, normal volumes of amniotic fluid and a regular menstrual period...

Objective: To explore the ability of growth velocity and customized standards of fetal weight to predict adverse outcomes in small fetuses delivered at term.
Methods: We evaluated a cohort of 86 consecutive singletons suspected to be small for gestational age during the third trimester (estimated fetal weight <10th centile), who had normal umbilical artery Doppler and ultimately delivered at term...

Objective: To determine which meal-related glucose measure maximizes perinatal outcome in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) women who have achieved established levels of glycemic control.
Methods: Two thousand two hundred and ninety-eight GDM women were stratified by meal-related blood glucose measures: fasting (<95 mg/dL); pre-meal (?90 mg/dL); 2-h post-meal (?120 mg/dL); mean (?100 mg/dL)...
Keywords: Good glycemic control, meal-related glucose measurements, perinatal outcome
