- Assessment of the at-risk pregnancy; risk of preterm labor
- Intrapartum care; signs of fetal compromise
- Contraception; sterilization; prevention of pregnancy after rape
Mechanisms of Disease
- Placenta, placental dysfunction
- Pregnancy and labor, including infection

- Pregnancy and labor, including obstetric complications (eg, ectopic pregnancy; spontaneous abortion/septic abortion; hypertension; third-trimester bleeding; hydramnios; preterm labor, premature rupture of the membranes, normal labor; multiple gestation; intrapartum fetal distress/fetal death; maternal mortality; fetal growth and development abnormalities; congenital abnormalities; gestational trophoblastic disease)
- Nonobstetric complications of pregnancy (eg, major medical complications and preexisting medical conditions; surgical complications; hyperemesis gravidarum)
- Complications of the puerperium (eg, problems with breast-feeding; postpartum hemorrhage; postpartum sepsis; postpartum depression, psychosis; mastitis; venous thromboembolism)

- Management decision (treatment/diagnosis steps)
- Treatment only
