Risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage: can we explain the recent temporal increase?
To assess risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and the extent to which changes in those risk factors may explain the rising incidence of PPH recently reported from industrialized countries. ⋯ Labour induction, augmentation of labour, and prior Caesarean section are significantly associated with the risk of PPH, and their increase over the study period largely explains the observed rise in PPH.

Preoperative serum CA 125 level as a predictor for metastasis and survival in endometrioid endometrial cancer.
We wished to determine the relationship between preoperative serum CA 125 levels and the risk of metastatic disease, recurrent disease, and death in women with endometrial cancer. ⋯ Serum CA 125 levels and extension of disease are highly correlated in women with endometrioid endometrial cancer, and elevated CA 125 levels predict a higher risk of disease recurrence and death.
