Practical Recommendations from Clinical Experts for Optimizing Screening, Diagn...
Mairos, João; Monteiro, Nina; Clode, Nuno; Maricoto, Tiago; Catarino, Rúben; Dias, BrunoIron deficiency is a clinical condition characterized by the depletion of iron stores, potentially affecting up to 95% of pregnant women in Portugal. If not identified and treated early, this condition can progress from fatigue, tiredness and reduced work productivity to anemia, increasing the risk of maternal-fetal complications. Therefore, early detection of iron deficiency during pregnancy is crucial for pro...

Uterine preservation with Alcides-Pereira’s compressive sutures for postpartum ...
Santos, Rita Rosado; Martins, Inês; Clode, Nuno; Santo, SusanaIntroduction: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is mostly caused by uterine atony and is the leading cause of maternal death. Hysterectomy may be necessary in severe cases, but uterine compressive sutures are an uterine-sparing alternative. In 2005, Alcides Pereira proposed a technique with serial superficial stiches around the uterus. To date, there were no further reports on its clinical use. Objective: To evaluate...
Placenta Accreta Overlying a Caesarean Section Scar: A 10-Year Experience in a ...
Cal, Margarida; Nunes, Carla; Clode, Nuno; Ayres-de-Campos, DiogoIntroduction: Placenta accreta spectrum disorders are among the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality and their prevalence is likely to increase in the future. The risk of placenta accreta spectrum disorders is highest in cases of placenta previa overlying a previous cesarean section scar. Few studies have evaluated placenta accreta spectrum disorders in Portugal. The aim of this study was to revie...
Transabdominal and transperineal ultrasound vs routine care before instrumental...
Barros, Joana; Afonso, Maria; Martins, Ana T.; Carita, Ana I.; Clode, Nuno; Ayres-de-Campos, Diogo; Graça, Luís M.Introduction: The role of intrapartum ultrasound as an ancillary method to instrumental vaginal delivery is yet to be determined. This study aimed to compare the use of transabdominal and transperineal ultrasound with routine clinical care before performing an instrumental vaginal delivery, regarding the incidence of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Material and methods: A randomized controlled trial was...

Barros, Joana G.; Gomes-da-Costa, Ana; Afonso, Maria; Carita, Ana I.; Ayres-de-Campos, Diogo; Graça, Luís M.; Clode, NunoObjectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of simulation-based training on the accuracy of fetal head position determination by junior residents during the second stage of labour. Study design: This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care university hospital. During an initial period of 12 weeks, 13 junior residents were asked to routinely evaluate fetal head position by digit...
National-survey for evaluation of the best screening method of late fetal growt...
Policiano, Catarina; Reis-de-Carvalho, Catarina; Clode, Nuno; Graça, Luís M.Objective: To compare knowledge and practices surrounding third trimester screening of fetal growth restriction (FGR) in low risk pregnancies among Portuguese Gynecologists/Obstetricians (GOs) and General Practitioners (GPs). Primary outcome was to compare the proportion of GOs that consider the need of a third trimester ultrasound (estimation of fetal weight) for screening of FGR in low risk pregnancies and th...
Small-for-gestational-age babies of low-risk term pregnancies : does antenatal ...
Policiano, Catarina; Fonseca, Andreia; Mendes, Jorge M.; Clode, Nuno; Graça, Luís M.Objectives: To compare delivery route and admission rate to neonatal intensive care unit between small- and appropriate-for-gestational-age babies among low-risk term pregnancies. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using the database of deliveries in 2014 at a tertiary hospital. Babies delivered at ≥37 weeks with birthweight <10th centile were considered small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and >90th centi...

Fonseca, Andreia; Silva, Rita; Rato, Inês; Neves, Ana Raquel; Peixoto, Carla; Ferraz, Zita; Ramalho, Inês; Carocha, Ana; Félix, NisaIntroduction: The best route of delivery for the term breech fetus is still controversial. We aim to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes between vaginal and cesarean term breech deliveries.Material and Methods: Multicentric retrospective cohort study of singleton term breech fetuses delivered vaginally or by elective cesarean section from January 2012 - October 2014. Primary outcomes were maternal and neonat...
