Dear Editor The new coronavirus (COVID-19) was demonstrated to be circulating in Italy before February 20, 2020, which was the date of the announcement of the first patient infected with COVID-19 in Italy. Hospital-acquired infection is a major concern and might represent the primary source of human-to-human transmission. As of March 27th, 9% of physicians […]

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak is increasing around the world in the number of cases, deaths, and affected countries. Currently, the knowledge regarding the clinical impact of COVID-19 on maternal, fetal, and placental aspects of pregnancy is minimal. Although the elderly and men were the most affected population, in previous situations, such as the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic and the Ebola epidemic, pregnant women were more likely to develop complications than nonpregnant women. There are unanswered questions speciﬁc to pregnant women, such as whether pregnant women are more severely affected and whether intrauterine transmission occurs. Additional information is needed to inform key decisions, such as whether pregnant health care workers should receive special consideration, whether to separate infected mothers and their new borns, and whether it is safe for infected women to breastfeed.

Dear Editor, Moleiro et al reported that a modified Pereira uterine compression suture (UCS) achieved hemostasis in two patients with postpartum hemorrhage. In the original Pereira suture, multiple sutures were applied both longitudinally and transversally around the uterus, with threads not penetrating the uterine wall and thus not entering the uterine lumen. The procedure described […]

Dear Editor, Placenta accreta describes pathological adherence or invasion of the placenta to the myometrium. It may be a consequence of any procedure affecting the integrity of the uterine lining. The incidence is rising due to increase in the rate of cesarean delivery, which is the major risk factor. Published guidelines recommend delivery with planned […]
