Status of the midwifery workforce and childbirth services and the impact of midwife staffing on birth outcomes in China

Status of the midwifery workforce and childbirth services and the impact of midwife staffing on birth outcomes in China

Fuente:Bmj Open

Tipo de trabajo:Estudio multicéntrico

Extracto: The rates of childbirth interventions including the overall caesarean section in China and the episiotomy rate, especially in the central region, remain relatively high. Improved midwife staffing was associated with reduced rates of instrumental vaginal delivery and episiotomy, indicating that further investments in the midwifery workforce could produce better childbirth outcomes.

Tipo de trabajo:Caso clínico

Extracto: Vaginal metastases from colorectal cancer are extremely rare. A vigilant gynecological examination is recommended during the follow-up of colorectal cancer patients. Diagnosis can be challenging, especially if the metastatic lesion is small and asymptomatic, even after standard radiological examination.
