Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue "Management of High-Risk Pregnancies: Current Trends and Future Perspectives".
High-risk pregnancies affect a relatively high proportion of women and are mainly attributed to advancing maternal age, high BMI and the use of assisted reproductive technology. They are associated with a high economic burden, but they also have a significant impact on the psychological status of those affected. Congenital anomalies, recurrent miscarriages, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, gestational diabetes, stillbirth and postpartum hemorrhage represent the most common complications of pregnancy. Aging and associated maternal morbidity may also affect the pregnancy outcomes.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent research findings on the diagnosis and management of high-risk pregnancies, to evaluate the aspects in need of further consideration.
Studies reporting high-risk pregnancies, including maternal and fetal morbidity and pregnancy complications, are of particular interest.
All types of articles are welcome. Articles on less common conditions are particularly encouraged.
