Spontaneous Umbilical Cord Vascular Rupture during Labor: A Retrospective Analysis of 12 Cases.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Umbilical cord vascular rupture is a rare and severe condition that can occur during labor, leading to adverse outcomes for the fetus before as well as after delivery. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving the chances of a successful outcome. We aimed to analyze cases of umbilical cord vascular rupture during labor to provide insights into this challenging condition.This retrospective study evaluated the medical records of patients diagnosed with umbilical cord vessel rupture or umbilical cord hematoma at Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital from January 1, 2015, to May 31, 2023. The inclusion criteria included gestational age of ≥28 weeks, occurrence during labor, and availability of complete delivery data. Data on fetal heart rate (FHR) changes, delivery intervals, intraoperative findings, placental pathology, and neonatal outcomes were collected and analyzed.A total of 12 cases were analyzed. The incidence of umbilical cord vascular rupture during childbirth was 0.08%. The FHR patterns in umbilical cord rupture during delivery included baseline tachycardia, minimal or absent variability, variable or late deceleration, prolonged deceleration, and undetectable heart rate. The bradycardia-to-delivery interval (BDI) ranged from 6 to 26 minutes. Among the 12 neonates, 9 were discharged well, 2 were stillbirths, and there was 1 neonatal death. Hemorrhagic shock was common in live births.Our study highlights the significance of continuous FHR monitoring during labor and the urgent need for medical teams to respond quickly in cases of umbilical cord vascular rupture. Despite advancements in neonatal resuscitation techniques, managing cases with undetectable fetal heart activity remains clinically challenging, and even with immediate pregnancy termination, poor neonatal outcomes may still occur. · Umbilical cord vascular rupture during labor is a rare event.. · Its clinical management presents significant challenges.. · Advances in neonatal resuscitation have improved rescue success rates.. · In such cases, hemorrhagic shock is common in live births..
