Congratulations to Maria Ivan for winning the Obstetric prize at OXSFOGS meeting Nuffield Dept of Women's & Reproductive Health for her PhD work UCL EGA Institute for Women's Health showing that TV USS imaging of the Caesarean section scar in pregnancy can predict the risk of developing a short cervix & #pretermbirth Raffaele Napolitano UCL UCLH

So nice to be back at F2F meetings. Attending 20th World Congress in Fetal Medicine with Maria Ivan & eurofoetus & @UCLH FMU UCL EGA Institute for Women's Health MFM teams + delegates from all over the world #fetalmedicinefoundation Thank you Kypros 😊

Excited to discuss our research work findings UCL EGA Institute for Women's Health on full dilatation #caesarean section scars and risk of subsequent #preterm birth at the 20th FMF World Congress! Anna David Raffaele Napolitano Davide Casagrandi UCLH OUH Fetal Medicine

Study finds about 40% of infants exposed to early antenatal corticosteroids were born at term, with associated adverse outcomes, highlighting the need for caution when considering antenatal corticosteroids. Includes a visual abstract #BMJInfographic bmj.com/content/382/bm…

275 women died in the UK during pregnancy or up to six weeks after the end of pregnancy in 2020-2022 from causes related to or exacerbated by pregnancy among 2,028,543 women giving birth, a maternal mortality rate of 13.56 per 100,000 buff.ly/2HR30eT

New study @UCLH NIHR UCLH Biomedical Research Centre Preterm Birth clinic shows 3D advanced labour stage Caesarean Birth (CB) scar sonographic features are highly reproducible in pregnancy.

We are about to open the ABOVE trial UCLH UCL EGA Institute for Women's Health to find out which type of cerclage (stitch) in the cervix is better at preventing recurrent preterm birth in women who have had a previous caesarean section in labour Tommy's Andrew H Shennan OBE Please RT youtube.com/watch?v=5QEu7n…
