Full textObjectives: Interpregnancy interval (IPI), the time period between the end of one pregnancy and the conception of the next, can have a significant impact on maternal and infant outcomes. This study examines the relationship between interpregnancy interval and neonatal outcomes of low birth weight, preterm birth, and specific neonatal morbidities. Study Design: Retrospective cohort study comparing neonatal outcomes across 6 categories of IPI using data on 202,600 cases identified from Arizona birth certificates and the Newborn Intensive Care Program data. Comparisons between groups were made using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals, and multivariable logisitic regression analysis. Results: Interpregnancy intervals of < 12 months and ≥ 60 months were associated with low birth weight, preterm birth, and small for gestational age births. The shortest and longest IPI categories were also associated with specific neonatal morbidities, including periventricular leukomalacia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, apnea bradycardia, respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnea of the newborn, and suspected sepsis. Relationships between interpregnancy interval and specific neonatal morbidities did not remain significant when adjusted for birth weight and gestational age. Conclusions: Significant differences in neonatal outcomes (preterm birth, low birth weight, and small for gestational age) were observed between IPI categories. Consistent with previous research, interpregnancy intervals < 12 months and ≥ 60 months appear to be associated with increased risk of poor neonatal outcomes. Any difference in specific neonatal morbidities between IPI groups appears to be mediated through increased risk of low birth weight and preterm birth by IPI.

Full textObjective: To assess the effects of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy on obstetric outcomes and birth variables. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Setting: Not applicable. Patient(s): Pregnant women and neonates. Intervention(s): PubMed and 5 other research databases were searched through March 2014 for RCTs evaluating vitamin D supplementation calcium/vitamins/ferrous sulfate vs. a control (placebo or active) during pregnancy. Main Outcome Measure(s): Measures were: circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), small for gestational age (SGA), low birth weight, preterm birth, birth weight, birth length, cesarean section. Mantel-Haenszel fixed-effects models were used, owing to expected scarcity of outcomes. Effects were reported as relative risks and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Result(s): Thirteen RCTs (n ¼ 2,299) were selected. Circulating 25(OH)D levels were significantly higher at term, compared with the control group (mean difference: 66.5 nmol/L, 95% CI 66.2–66.7). Birth weight and birth length were significantly greater for neonates in the vitamin D group; mean difference: 107.6 g (95% CI 59.9–155.3 g) and 0.3 cm (95% CI 0.10–0.41 cm), respectively. Incidence of preeclampsia, GDM, SGA, low birth weight, preterm birth, and cesarean section were not influenced by vitamin D supplementation. Across RCTs, the doses and types of vitamin D supplements, gestational age at first administration, and outcomes were heterogeneous. Conclusion(s): Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy was associated with increased circulating 25(OH)D levels, birth weight, and birth length, and was not associated with other maternal and neonatal outcomes. Larger, better-designed RCTs evaluating clinically relevant outcomes are necessary to reach a definitive conclusion. (Fertil Steril 2015;-:-–-. 2015 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.)

Full textEsta tesis está compuesta por cuatro estudios para probar el uso de los métodos cuantitativos de análisis de texturas de imágenes para la predicción del riesgo en dos patologías fetales. En la mayor parte de la tesis (tres estudios) se utilizan imágenes de ultrasonido del tórax fetal para predecir la morbilidad respiratoria neonatal. En el primer estudio se relacionan las texturas obtenidas de las imágenes ecográficas del pulmón fetal con la edad gestacional, demostrando que se puede extraer información del tejido de forma no-invasiva que se correlaciona con el proceso fisiológico subyacente, la maduración normal del pulmón fetal. En el segundo estudio se correlacionan las texturas de las imágenes con el resultado del test TDx-FLM II, test que utiliza una muestra de líquido amniótico para predecir la madurez pulmonar feta, demostrando que el análisis de texturas de las imágenes pulmonares fetales contiene información sobre la madurez pulmonar fetal. En el tercer estudio, se desarrolla y evalúa un nuevo método de análisis de imagen del pulmón fetal para la predicción de la morbilidad respiratoria neonatal. Se describen los principios básicos de este nuevo método y se evalúa el funcionamiento del mismo con muestras ciegas. Los resultados obtenidos con el método no invasivo desarrollado para predecir la morbilidad respiratoria neonatal son similares a los reportados por las pruebas actuales, que requieren de líquido amniótico para el análisis y, por tanto, de una muestra obtenida de forma invasiva. Adicionalmente, en el último estudio se ha evaluado la capacidad del análisis cuantitativo de imagen en imágenes de resonancia magnética para detectar anomalías en distintas áreas del cerebro fetal que pueden estar asociadas con un neurocomportamiento neonatal anormal. De esta forma se prueba la transversalidad de las técnicas de análisis de texturas en distintos tipos de imágenes y patologías. Como conclusión final de los cuatro estudios, esta tesis aporta evidencias de que las técnicas no invasivas de análisis de imágenes médicas extraen información cuantitativa del tejido examinado que puede usarse para ayudar en el diagnóstico clínico.

Full textIntroduction - Early life feeding practices can directly affect nutritional status, growth, development, and child survival. Among the indicators of child health proposed by the World Health Organization, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months of age (EBF: when the baby receives only breastmilk, including milk expressed or from a wet nurse, without other liquids or solids, except for drops or syrups containing vitamins, oral rehydration salts, mineral supplements or medicines, which can be disaggregated in the age groups 0-1, 2-3, 4-5 and 0-3 months) is essential for monitoring actions to promote, protect and support breastfeeding. Objectives - To investigate the prevalence and factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding at 30 days of life in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre. Methods - Data analysis of the MINA-Brazil birth cohort study in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre state, Western Brazilian Amazon. Mothers of babies born from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 at the only maternity hospital in the region were enrolled in this study after signing a free, informed consent form. Women were interviewed soon after giving birth and by telephone at 30-45 days postpartum. Socioeconomic, demographic, obstetric, infant feeding practices, child health and lifestyle data were collected. The outcome of interest was exclusive breastfeeding at 30 days of life, classified according to WHO guidelines (2010). Descriptive statistical data, 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) and chi-square tests were calculated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to estimate the median duration and the probability of EBF at the end of the first month of life. In order to explore factors associated with time to EBF cessation, accelerated failure-time (AFT) models were run, following a conceptual framework hierarchical model for determinants of EBF. All analyses were done in Stata 14.0, at p<0.05. Results - During the follow-up period, 962 mothers answered the postpartum telephone interview. The prevalence of EBF at 30 days of life was 36.7% and the median duration was 16 days. Considering all children born in the study period and eligible for follow-up, the probability of EBF in the first month of life was 43.7% and the median duration was 30 days. Factors associated with time to EBF cessation were: having one or more children, pacifier use and history of wheezing. It was observed that duration of EBF (time-ratio - TR) was 28% longer among infants who had siblings (1.28; 95% CI, 1.11-1.48). Use of a pacifier and history of wheezing were associated with reduced EBF duration by 33% (0.67, 95% CI 0.58-0.78) and 20% (0.80, 95% CI 0.69-0.93), respectively. Conclusions - The exclusive breastfeeding practice at 30 days of life in Cruzeiro do Sul was considerably below nacional and international recommendations. Primiparous mothers stopped EBF earlier in the first month when compared to mothers with more than one child; infants who used pacifiers or had history of wheezing presented higher risk of not being exclusively breastfed in the first month of life. Given the importance of EBF for maternal and child health and for total duration of breastfeeding, the results of this study may provide a basis for intensive actions to promote, support and protect breastfeeding before the first month of life in this population.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Objective: To review the difference in short term neonatal and maternal outcomes among singleton infants with breech presentation delivered by vaginal or elective caesarean section route at term, at Tygerberg Academic Hospital (TBH) in Cape Town. The study design was a retrospective case control study. Method: Part I A total of 120 patients were selected. 60 vaginal breech deliveries and 60 elective caesarean sections for breech presentation (comprising the control group). 60 cases of vaginal deliveries were collected and 60 control cases of planned elective caesarean sections, where the indication for CS was breech presentation, were collected in the same manner. Part II Nineteen registrars completed a questionnaire regarding their subjective experiences of vaginal breech deliveries at Tygerberg Academic Hospital. Results: Part I An analysis of the results found statistically significant differences in maternal ages between the two groups, with younger women delivering by CS; gravidity and parity was lower in the CS group; blood loss was observed to be higher in the CS group with more women requiring a blood transfusion when compared to vaginal delivery; there were more neonatal admissions in the vaginal delivery group as well as more birth trauma, neonatal seizures and death in this group; Apgar scores were higher in the CS group and finally, neonates born by CS were more commonly discharged at the same time as their mothers in the CS group. Part II When analyzing the registrar questionnaire it can be noted that although clinicians are performing an adequate number of breech vaginal deliveries, with an average of 10 deliveries per year, the skills training for clinicians is invaluable. Not all registrars learned skills from a senior clinician and skills training in skills labs are essential for initial and even continual training of these clinicians. It is suggested that these skills training programs be made compulsory for all registrars and that a biyearly attendance and completing of such a course be mandatory for those wishing to work in the labour ward. Conclusions: Although not statistically significant, there was more morbidity and mortality associated with vaginal breech delivery.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Doel: Om die korttermyn neonatale en moederlike uitkomste van enkeling swangerskappe met stuitligging wat vaginaal of met elektiewe keisersnee verlos is by die Tygerberg Akademiese Hospitaal in Kaapstad, te bepaal. Die werkstuk is ‘n retrospektiewe gekontroleerde-gevallestudie. Metode: Deel 1 ‘n Totaal van 120 pasiënte is gekies. 60 gevalle van vaginale stuitverlossings en 60 kontrolegevalle van beplande elektiewe keisersnitte waar die indikasie stuitligging was. Deel 2 Negentien kliniese assistente het die vraelys oor hul persoonlike ervaring van vaginale stuitverlossing by die Tygerberg Akademiese Hospitaal ingevul. Resultate: Deel 1 ‘n Ontleding van die resultate wys statisties betekenisvolle verskille in die moederouderdom van die twee groepe, met meer jong vroue wat met keisernit geboorte gee. Graviditiet en pariteit was laer in die keisersnit-groep. Bloedverlies was hoër in die keisersnit-groep en in vergelyking met die vaginale verlossings met meer vroue wat bloedoortapping benodig. In die vaginale verlossingsgroep was meer neonatale toelatings nodig asook meer geboortetrauma, neonatale konvulsies en sterftes. Apgar-tellings was hoër in die keisersnitgroep en neonate wat met ‘n keisersnitte gebore is, is meer dikwels saam met hul moeders ontslaan. Deel II Ontleding van die vraelys vir kliniese assistente wys dat hoewel klinici ‘n genoegsame getal van gemiddeld 10 vaginale stuitverlossings per jaar uitvoer, vaardigheidsopleiding vir klinici van onskatbare waarde sal wees. Nie alle kliniese assistente leer vaardighede by senior klinici nie en opleiding in ‘n vaardigheidslaboratorium is noodsaaklik vir die aanvanklike en selfs voortdurende opleiding van dié kliniese assistente. Dit word voorgestel dat hierdie vaardigheidkursusse verpligtend gemaak word vir alle kliniese asssistente en bywoning en voltooiing van die kursus twee maal per jaar verpligtend moet wees vir diegene wat in ‘n kraamsaal wil werk. Gevolgtrekking: Vaginale stuitverlossings, hoewel nie stastisties betekenisvol nie, het met meer morbiditeit en sterftes gepaardgegaan.

Full textABSTRACT Background Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is an ancient tradition with strong ties to cultural and ethnic identity. More than 200 million women and girls are estimated to be exposed, and about 3.9 million more girls are at risk each year. The proportion of women from countries where female genital mutilation is common, and which gives birth to children in Sweden has increased with an increased immigration. Female genital mutilation is internationally considered as a violation of human rights and a violation of women's and children's rights. Aim To compare the incidence and risk of perinatal complications among women with a diagnosis of FGM with women without this diagnosis who has given birth to a child in Sweden during the years 2007 - 2017. Method A population-based cohort study. Results The main result of this study is that children born of women with an FGM-diagnosis have a significantly increased risk of low apgar scores, being born Small for Gestational Age, convulsions, perinatal death and prolonged pregnancy could be observed. Conclusion FGM is associated with a number of serious perinatal complications. The greatest risk was seen between female genital mutilation and being born Small for Gestational Age, prolonged pregnancy and intrauterine fetal death. These relationships were robust regardless of which country the woman was born. It can be concluded that women with an FGM diagnosis and their newborn children belong to a risk group. It is very important to work preventively to protect these women and children's health.

Full textIntroduction: Food allergies, the second most common form of allergic disorders in Western countries, have been on the rise in the US over the past few decades especially in young children. As the exact causes of food sensitizations are still unknown, much research has been dedicated to solving the mystery of how and why individuals develop food allergies in the first place. However, very few studies have focused solely on the prevalence of food allergies in the adult population. Furthermore, the prevalence of food allergies in expecting mothers and their potential impact on mother-baby health outcomes have barely been investigated. As such, this retrospective chart review study aimed at comparing the prevalence of food allergies in pregnant women to that of the adult US population and investigated the potential effects of maternal food allergies on perinatal maternal outcomes and infant health. Methods: A total of 595 maternal charts and 614 infant charts were reviewed for expecting mothers age 18 to 49 years old who gave birth at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC, between November 15, 2011 and November 15, 2012. Mothers’ data collected included basic demographic information, presence and nature of food allergies, and if applicable, occurrence and length of High Risk Antepartum visits. In addition to basic infant demographic information, the infant health outcomes collected were, when applicable: gestational age at birth, birth weight, 1 and 5 minute APGAR scores, NICU admissions and length of stay, as well as infant death. All statistical tests were two-tailed and p values < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Food allergies were documented in 5.6% (N = 22) of the mothers, which was not significantly different from the national average reported by the FDA (Vierk et al., 2007). The most commonly reported allergy in the study’s pregnant women sample was seafood (42.2%), and the least common maternal food hypersensitivity disorder in the sample was egg allergy (2.2%). No significant relationship was found between the presence of maternal food allergies and maternal or infant health outcomes. Conclusion: Our study found that the proportion of pregnant women with food allergies was consistent with the FDA-reported percentage of US adult population affected by food allergies. Furthermore, we were unable to establish significant relationships between the presence of maternal food allergies and mother-baby health outcomes.

Objetivo: Determinar o efeito do uso da sonda de Foley para o preparo de colo uterino, em gestantes tratadas em regime ambulatorial versus internação. Sujeitos e métodos: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo, randomizado e do tipo ensaio clínico. Trinta e sete mulheres com gestação de baixo risco foram randomizadas para o preparo de colo uterino, com sonda de Foley, em dois grupos: ambulatorial (n=17) e internação (n=20). Os principais desfechos avaliados foram: índice de Bishop final, número de gestantes que modificaram o índice de Bishop de desfavorável para favorável, tipo de parto, uso de ocitocina, tempo de internação, morbidade materna e neonatal grave, óbito neonatal, taquissistolia com alteração da frequência cardíaca fetal e Apgar de quinto minuto ≤ 7. Para a análise estatística foram utilizados o teste de qui-quadrado para comparar proporções e o teste t de Student para a comparação de médias. O nível de significância estabelecido foi de 5% ( = 0,05). Resultados: Não houve diferença estatística significativa entre os dois grupos quanto ao índice de Bishop final, tipo de parto, necessidade de uso de ocitocina, morbidade materna e neonatal grave, óbito neonatal, taquissistolia com alteração da frequência cardíaca fetal e Apgar de quinto minuto ≤ 7. Como esperado, as gestantes do grupo internação tiveram mais horas dentro do ambiente hospitalar do que as do grupo ambulatorial (77,7 horas no grupo ambulatorial versus 93,1 horas no grupo internação), entretanto não houve diferença estatística. Conclusão: Gestantes do grupo ambulatorial apresentaram os mesmos desfechos que gestantes do grupo internação, com diminuição do tempo de internação e, consequentemente, redução do custo de tratamento, além da possibilidade de permanecer maior tempo no conforto do lar e na convivência familiar.
Objective: To determine the effect of the use of the Foley catheter for the cervical ripening, in pregnant women treated on an outpatient basis versus hospitalization. Subjects and methods: A prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted. Thirty-seven women with low-risk pregnancies were randomized to the cervical ripening with a Foley catheter in two groups: outpatient (n = 17) and hospitalization (n = 20). The main outcome measures were: Bishop's final index, number of pregnant women who modified Bishop's ratio from unfavorable to favorable, type of delivery, oxytocin use, hospitalization time, severe maternal and neonatal morbidity, neonatal death, tachysystole with alteration of Fetal heart rate and fifth-minute Apgar ≤ 7. For the statistical analysis the chi-square test was used to compare proportions and Student's t-test for comparison of means. The level of significance was set at 5% ( = 0.05). Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding the final Bishop index, type of delivery, need for oxytocin use, severe maternal and neonatal morbidity, neonatal death, tachysystole with altered fetal heart rate, and fifth-minute Apgar ≤ 7. As expected, the pregnant women in the hospitalization group had more hours within the hospital setting than the outpatient group (77.7 hours in the outpatient group versus 93.1 hours in the hospitalization group), however there were no statistical differences. Conclusion: Pregnant women in the outpatient group presented the same outcomes as pregnant women in the hospitalization group, with a reduction in the length of hospital stay and, consequently, a reduction in the cost of treatment, as well as the possibility of remaining longer in the comfort of the home and in the family support.
