Obstetric and pregnancy-related factors associated with caesarean delivery in Bangladesh: a survey in Rajshahi district by Md Aslam Hossain, Md Reazul Karim, Md Golam Hossain, Abu Sayed Md Al Mamun, Md Abdul Awal, Jarin Sazzad

“…The likelihood of having a CS increased with factors such as insufficient sleep duration (p=0.002), oedema problems (p=0.014), inadequate supplements of micronutrients (p=0.009), severe headaches with blurred vision (p=0.028) and inadequate food consumption during pregnancy (p=0.032). The probability of experiencing obstetric fistula or postpartum anaemia (p=0.049) was higher among mothers who had a CS in their most recent live birth than mothers who had a vaginal birth.Conclusion The study found that having a CS increases the risk of maternal complications like an obstetric fistula or postpartum anaemia. …”

Longitudinal functional outcomes and late effects of radiation following treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study by Gia Gill, Ciaran Lane, Candace Myers, Evan D. Kerr, Pascal Lambert, Andrew Cooke, Paul D. Kerr

“…Univariable regression analysis revealed that increasing high-dose radiation volumes (PTV 70 Gy) were associated with increased likelihood of less than solid diet (Performance Status Scale (PSS)—Normalcy of Diet score < 50; p = 0.04), and reduced PSS—Understandability of Speech (p = 0.005). The probability of poor outcome increased with time. Eleven percent of patients were tube feed dependent at ≥ 5 years. …”
