Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A high-risk pregnancy describes any condition associated with a pregnancy in which there is an actual or potential risk to the mother or fetus. The early identification of pregnant women at risk of developing birth complications is
crucial for antenatal care, and is an important strategy for preventing maternal deaths. Several risk scoring systems have been developed to draw attention to risk factors so that problems can be prevented, identified, and treated. Although efforts have previously been made to develop predictive models for pregnancy risk, there is still a lack of evidence to guide implementation in clinical practice.
In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight, discuss, develop and validate risk assessment tools for use among patients with high-risk pregnancies, and to investigate specific factors that may contribute to high-risk pregnancy, including maternal conditions (hypertension, obesity, diabetes, epilepsy, thyroid disease, heart or blood disorders, and autoimmune diseases) and pregnancy complications (unusual placental position, fetal growth restriction). We also aim to explore maternal morbidity and mortality, short- and long-term outcomes after a complicated pregnancy, intrapartum complications, preterm birth, and the management of pregnancies after assisted reproductive techniques. Original research and review articles are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
