Major obstetric haemorrhage: Incidence, management and quality of care in Irish maternity units.
To assess major obstetric haemorrhage incidence, management and quality of care in Irish maternity units. ⋯ Internationally, obstetric haemorrhage and especially PPH and its increasing trend remains a major challenge for service providers and clinical staff. A standardisation of definitions of PPH/severe PPH/MOH and agreed approaches to quantitation of blood loss would be valuable developments to allow better investigation and shared learning. Reducing the burden of this morbidity through improvements in care should be a real focus of maternity services.

Comparative Study Observational StudyMaternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of large series of SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnancies in peripartum period: A single-center prospective comparative study.
To describe the proportions of asymptomatic, mild and severe diseases in infected pregnant women admitted for delivery. To compare maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infected pregnant women with those of non-infected patients. ⋯ Pregnant women admitted for delivery and diagnosed with a SARS-COV-2 infection through an universal screening were symptomatic in only a quarter of cases. Their risks of post-partum hemorrhage, transfusion and admission to ICU were higher than those of uninfected patients. They also presented a higher risk of intra-uterine fetal demise. There were no other differences in maternal, obstetrical or neonatal outcomes.
