BACKGROUND: Small-for-gestational-age fetuses are at an increased risk of intrapartum fetal compromise requiring operative delivery. Factors associated with the risk of intrapartum fetal compromise are yet to be established, and a comprehensive model accounting for both the antenatal and intrapartum variables is lacking.

Risk of neonatal care unit admission in small for gestational age fetuses at term: a prediction model and internal validation
Kalafat, Erkan; Morales-Rosello, Jose; Thilaganathan, Basky; Dhother, Jasreen; Khalil, Asma (Informa UK Limited, 2019-07-18)
Objective: Small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses are at increased risk of admission to the neonatal unit, even at term. We aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for the risk of prolonged neonatal unit admission in suspected SGA fetuses at term. Methods: A single-center cohort study of singleton pregnancies with SGA fetus, defined as estimated fetal weight (EFW) less than the 10th centile, at term. The variables included known risk factors for neonatal unit admissions: maternal characteristics, ...
The role of aspirin in prevention of preeclampsia in twin pregnancies: does the dose matter?
Kalafat, Erkan; Shirazi, Amani; Thilaganathan, Basky; Khalil, Asma (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01)
Objective The use of aspirin in twin pregnancies for the prevention of preeclampsia is a controversial topic, and evidence on the required dose of aspirin is scarce. We aimed to assess the efficacy of 75 mg/day vs 150 mg/day aspirin for the prevention of preeclampsia in twin pregnancies. Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study of twin pregnancies managed at St George’s University Hospital between 2012 and 2019. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guideline published in 2010 has...
The outcome of the multifetal pregnancy reduction procedures in a single centre: A report of 202 completed cases
Yilanhoglu, Necip Cihangir; Semiz, Altug; Arisoy, Resul; Kahraman, Semra; Gurkan, Ali Arslan (Elsevier BV, 2018-11-01)
Objective: To review the results of fetal reduction procedures in our institution, evaluate its effects on the pregnancy outcome in terms of miscarriage, preterm delivery, taking home healthy babies and discuss the factors that may have contributed to the outcome.
Risk of operative delivery for intrapartum fetal compromise in small-for-gestational-age fetuses at term: external validation of the IRIS algorithm
Kalafat, Erkan; Morales-Rosello, Jose; Scarinci, Elisa; Thilaganathan, Basky; Khalil, Asma (Informa UK Limited, 2020-08-01)
Objectives:Small-for-gestational-age fetuses (SGA) are at high risk of intrapartum fetal compromise requiring operative delivery. In a recent study, we developed a model using a combination of three antenatal (gestational age at delivery, parity, cerebroplacental ratio) and three intrapartum (epidural use, labor induction and augmentation using oxytocin) variables for the prediction of operative delivery due to presumed fetal compromise in SGA fetuses - the Individual RIsk aSsessment (IRIS) prediction model...
Maternal cardiovascular function and risk of intrapartum fetal compromise in women undergoing induction of labor: pilot study
Kalafat, E.; Barratt, I.; Nawaz, A.; Thilaganathan, B.; Khalil, A. (Wiley, 2020-08-01)
Objective Identification of the fetus at risk of intrapartum compromise has many benefits. Impaired maternal cardiovascular function is associated with placental hypoperfusion predisposing to intrapartum fetal distress. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive accuracy of maternal hemodynamics for the risk of operative delivery due to presumed fetal compromise in women undergoing induction of labor (IOL). Methods In this prospective cohort study, patients were recruited between November 2018 and J...
