Association between stillbirth >/=23 weeks gestation and acute psychiatric illness within 1 year of delivery.
This study analyzed whether women experiencing a stillbirth had a higher risk of psychiatric morbidity and/or substance misuse within 1 year of delivery compared to women having a live birth. Higher risk was found for both using data from the Florida State Inpatient and State Emergency Department databases from 2005-2014. Women with an ICD-9 classification of stillbirth at or greater than 23 weeks gestation were included. Emergency department encounters or admissions with a diagnosis code of a psychiatric disorder were used.

Adverse events and factors associated with potentially avoidable use of general anesthesia in cesarean deliveries.
Compared with neuraxial anesthesia, general anesthesia for cesarean delivery is associated with increased risk of maternal adverse events. Reducing avoidable general anesthetics for cesarean delivery may improve safety of obstetric anesthesia care. This study examined adverse events, trends, and factors associated with potentially avoidable general anesthetics for cesarean delivery. The investigators concluded that compared with neuraxial anesthesia, avoidable general anesthetics are associated with increased risk of adverse maternal outcomes.
