The relationship between maternal exposure to ambient air pollution and pregnancy complications is not well characterized. We aimed to explore the relationship between maternal exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and placental abruption. Using administrative data, we defined a state-wide cohort of singleton pregnancies born between 1 March 2012 and 31 December 2015 in Victoria, Australia. Annual average NO2 and PM2.5 was assigned to maternal residence at the time of birth. 285,594 singleton pregnancies were included. An IQR increase in NO2 (3.9 ppb) was associated with reduced likelihood of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (RR 0.89; 95%CI 0.86, 0.91), GDM (RR 0.92; 95%CI 0.90, 0.94) and placental abruption (RR 0.81; 95%CI 0.69, 0.95). Mixed observations and smaller effect sizes were observed for IQR increases in PM2.5 (1.3 µg/m3) and pregnancy complications; reduced likelihood of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (RR 0.95; 95%CI 0.93, 0.97), increased likelihood of GDM (RR 1.02; 95%CI 1.00, 1.03) and no relationship for placental abruption. In this exploratory study using an annual metric of exposure, findings were largely inconsistent with a priori expectations and further research involving temporally resolved exposure estimates are required.

Childbearing is a normal physiological process and one that most women experience at least once in their lives—81% in 2018 ( Office for National Statistics, 2019 ). The majority will have a safe and trouble-free pregnancy, birth and postnatal period. However, a few will experience complications. Some of these arise in previously healthy women when the progress of the pregnancy deviates from normal. Other women enter pregnancy with a pre-existing medical condition that may complicate progress and require additional attention and monitoring. Maternity support workers (MSWs) are an essential part of safe care. The service they give will be enhanced by knowledge of some of the conditions that may arise. This paper provides a brief overview of some of the issues.

Despite the fact that pregnancy is one of the physiological conditions of a woman, only about half of the cases, according to the studies of modern statistics, reach a happy end for the mother and fetus. Along with such reasons as constitutional diseases, acute infectious diseases, suffering of the respiratory and circulatory organs, contributing to premature termination of pregnancy and requiring purely therapeutic intervention, there are complications that require serious surgical care for a successful pregnancy outcome. These are mainly complications of pregnancy with tumors of the pelvic organs, for the removal of which one has to resort to the most serious operation - gluttony. And while earlier surgeons with extreme fear decided to open the abdominal cavity in non-pregnant women, risking always losing the patient from the seemingly inevitable septic peritonitis during this operation, while earlier surgeons talked about "happiness in surgery" and attributed the successful outcome of any often unimportant operation to a clean case, - now it is boldly performed on pregnant women with a certain certainty to save life not only existing, but also emerging life.

Complications of pregnancy remain a serious threat in Sub-Saharan Africa despite efforts to minimise maternal mortality due to pregnancy complications, and achieve the Millennium Development Goal 5. This is a retrospective study to determine the most common pregnancy complications among adolescents compared to adults treated in a public hospital from 2015 to 2018. The researcher applied a convenience sampling method in selecting the medical records. The instrument used was adapted from previous studies and data were analysed with descriptive and chi-square test for the inferential statistics. A total of 1,265 patients met the eligibility criteria and 540 (42.7%) were adolescents. Low birth weight (n=478, 88.5%) and preterm delivery (n=496, 91.9%) were common among babies born to adolescent mothers. Pregnancy-related complications among adolescent mothers showing the prevalence of anaemia, hypertension, and malaria were 494 (84.9%), 149 (56.2%) and 193 (62.1%) respectively. Gestational diabetes was found to be high among adult mothers (n=98, 74.8%). Among adolescent mothers, the prevalence of eclampsia was 62 (78.5%) and hemorrhage 61 (53.0%). The prevalence of Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) was high among adolescent mothers (n=252, 80.5%). Comprehensive strategies are needed to keep girls in schools and to raise awareness and develop campaigns about using contraception properly to reduce the incidence of adolescent pregnancy as well as to minimise the incidence of pregnancy-related complications.

Full textAbstract:
Complications endangering mother or fetus affect around one in seven pregnant women. Investigation of the genetic susceptibility to such diseases is of high importance for better understanding of the disease biology as well as for prediction of individual risk. In this study, we collected and analyzed GWAS summary statistics from the FinnGen cohort and UK Biobank for 24 pregnancy complications. In FinnGen, we identified 11 loci associated with pregnancy hypertension, excessive vomiting, and gestational diabetes. When UK Biobank and FinnGen data were combined, we discovered six loci reaching genome-wide significance in the meta-analysis. These include rs35954793 in FGF5 (p=6.1×10−9), rs10882398 in PLCE1 (p=8.9×10−9), and rs167479 in RGL3 (p=5.2×10−9) for pregnancy hypertension, rs10830963 in MTNR1B (p=4.5×10−41) and rs36090025 in TCF7L2 (p=3.4×10−15) for gestational diabetes, and rs2963457 in the EBF1 locus (p=6.5×10−9) for preterm birth. In addition to the identified genome-wide associations, we also replicated 14 out of 40 previously reported GWAS markers for pregnancy complications, including four more preeclampsia-related variants. Finally, annotation of the GWAS results identified a causal relationship between gene expression in the cervix and gestational hypertension, as well as both known and previously uncharacterized genetic correlations between pregnancy complications and other traits. These results suggest new prospects for research into the etiology and pathogenesis of pregnancy complications, as well as early risk prediction for these disorders.

Abstract Background Two strains of influenza B virus, B/Yamagata and B/Victoria, co-circulate in the USA, typically appearing in late March. This year, influenza B virus (FluB) co-circulated consistently with influenza A virus (FluA). We hypothesized that this could be explained by an increased use of influenza trivalent vaccine, which lacks the B/Yamagata strain, over the quadrivalent vaccine. Methods We performed a retrospective, observational cohort study of patients with laboratory-diagnosed influenza from October 2016 through April 2017. Age, comorbidity categories, pregnancy status, symptoms, The presence of opacity on chest film, ICU admission, death, and receipt of oseltamivir were reviewed for 256 patients. A subset of FluB specimens were subtyped for lineage using RT–PCR. Results Influenza was detected in 495 (10.4%) of 4,754 samples collected, including 305 FluA and 190 FluB. The H3 strain represented 97% of FluA cases. FluB subtypes were: 70, B/Victoria; 21, B/Yamagata; and 41, not subtyped. Chart review was conducted for 124 randomly selected FluA and 132 sequential FluB patients. Median age of patients with FluA was 44 compared with 27 with FluB (P < 0.001). Forty-three (34.7%) FluA patients had heart disease compared with 21 (15.9%) FluB patients (P < 0.001). Otherwise, there were no differences in comorbidities, pregnancy status, clinical symptoms, or infectious complications between FluA vs. FluB patients. Ninety-three (75%) FluA patients and 78 (59.1%) FluB patients received oseltamivir. ICU admission occurred in 15 (12.1%) FluA and 9 (6.8%) FluB patients (OR 1.414; 95% CI 0.83-2.4). Seventy-seven (30%) patients received flu vaccine, 39 with FluA, and 38 with FluB; 97 (37.9%) were not vaccinated and 82 (32%) were missing data. Of those vaccinated, 6 patients received trivalent vaccine, and 71 received quadrivalent. Only 24 patients with B/Victoria and 7 patients with B/Yamagata were vaccinated. Conclusion The proportion of infected patients who had received vaccination was low, limiting our ability to detect the effect of the trivalent vaccine on the incidence of infection with B/Yamagata. In contrast to conventional thought, when compared with influenza B, influenza A (predominantly H3N2) did not appear to disproportionally affect those with most medical comorbidities, and was not disproportionately associated with our identified clinical complications.

Full textAbstract:
The majority of individuals obtaining the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis are women of childbearing age. They are naturally concerned as to how multiple sclerosis affects the course of pregnancy and the developing foetus. The objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate the incidence of pregnancy complications and delivery risks, and to follow the natural course of multiple sclerosis during and after pregnancy in a cohort of Finnish patients with multiple sclerosis. Sixty-one patients with multiple sclerosis who became pregnant during the years 2003—2005 were prospectively followed-up from early pregnancy until 6 months postpartum. Multiple sclerosis relapses, Expanded Disability Status Scale rates and obstetric details were recorded. The results were compared with the statistics obtained from Finnish Medical Birth Register from the year 2004. We found that patients with multiple sclerosis were no more likely to experience pregnancy complications than Finnish pregnant women generally, but they had a greater likelihood for a need of artificial insemination (4.9% vs. 0.9%; p = 0.0009). Subjects with multiple sclerosis were more likely to undergo assisted vaginal delivery than the at-large cohort(16.4% vs. 6.5%; p = 0.0017). We conclude that pregnancy does not seem to pose a woman with multiple sclerosis to a greater risk for pregnancy complications when compared with women in general. The potential need for instrumental delivery should, however, be taken into account when planning the delivery of a mother with multiple sclerosis.

Background and Objectives: Iron deficiency anemia, is common in pregnant women. The global prevalence of anemia in pregnancy (AIP) is estimated as 41.8% and in more than 80% of countries in the world, the prevalence of AIP estimated at 29%. AIP is associated with increased maternal, neonatal and perinatal mortality, low birth weight, premature birth, and delayed child development. This study aimed to assess the effect of applying WHO-UNICEF guidelines for AIP control at Hodeida city, Yemen. Methods: Facility based interventional prospective study had conducted in 17 health centers of Hodeida city which had randomly distributed to 8 experimental and 9 control health centers, selecting 250 pregnant women from experimental health centers and equal number from control ones. Experimental health centers had intervened through training on, and managing pregnant women for anemia according WHO-UNICEF guidelines while pregnant women at control health centers had managed according health centers own approaches. Pregnant women at both types’ health centers had followed 3 times till labor for Hb response, pregnancy and labor courses and complications. Data statistically analyzed using SPSS program (Version 22) including descriptive statistics, t test for examining the difference in means of Hb response, pregnancy and labor complications among the experimental and control groups Results: The study revealed statistically significant 20% higher Hb improvement rate in experimental group compared with control group on applying WHO – UNICEF guidelines for AIP control at primary health centers(P = 0.00, t= 4.27). Also, statistically significant decrease of pregnancy complications (P = 0.02, t= -2.445) and labor complications (P = 0.001, t= -3.472) had been reached on applying the protocol. Conclusion: Applying WHO – UNICEF guidelines for AIP control at primary health centers improved Hb response and decreased antenatal and natal complications.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram: avaliar as freqüências de partos vaginais e cesáreas em mulheres portadoras de cardiopatias, bem como a distribuição dos partos nos diferentes subgrupos de doenças cardíacas: arritmias (A), cardiopatias congênitas (CC) e cardiopatias adquiridas (CA); analisar os fatores clínicos e obstétricos que estiveram relacionados à determinação da via de parto no grupo total de cardiopatas e também nos subgrupos, e avaliar a associação entre o tipo de parto e complicações clínicas e obstétricas. Foram analisados retrospectivamente os dados referentes a 571 gestações de 556 mulheres internadas para parto na Clínica Obstétrica do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo entre 2001 e 2005. A composição dos grupos foi: A - 57 casos (10%), CC - 163 casos (28,6%) e CA - 351 casos (61,4%). A taxas de cesárea foram 57,2% (total), 45,6% (A), 64,2% (CC) e 55,7% (CA). A indicação da cesárea foi obstétrica em 77% dos casos. Analisando os 425 casos sem cesáreas anteriores, as taxas de cesárea foram: 47,1% (total), 37,8% (A), 57,8% (CC) e 43,3% (CA). A probabilidade de parto cesáreo esteve relacionada à presença de cesárea anterior, idade gestacional no parto inferior a 37 semanas, presença de intercorrências obstétricas, diagnóstico de cardiopatia congênita, insuficiência cardíaca classe funcional (CF) III ou IV, e uso de medicamentos de ação cardiovascular. A paridade maior ou igual a um diminuiu a probabilidade de cesárea. A presença de cesárea anterior foi o principal fator relacionado à probabilidade de parto cesáreo nesta população. Nos subgrupos de cardiopatia (sem cesárea anterior) a probabilidade de cesárea esteve aumentada na presença dos seguintes fatores: A - uso de medicação cardiovascular; CC - CF III/IV e intercorrências obstétricas; CA -intercorrências obstétricas e idade gestacional no parto inferior a 37 semanas. A ocorrência de complicações obstétricas foi 6,8% (total), sendo maior em A (18,6%) e nos partos vaginais (10,7%); complicações clínicas maiores ocorreram em 2,5% dos casos e foram mais freqüentes nos casos de cesárea (3,8%). Conclusão: As taxas de cesárea observadas em gestante com cardiopatia foram elevadas (em especial nos casos de cardiopatia congênita) e correlacionadas à presença de cesárea anterior, insuficiência cardíaca CF III/IV, uso de medicamentos de ação cardiovascular, presença de intercorrências obstétricas e idade gestacional no parto inferior a 37 semanas.This study reviewed the data of 571 pregnancies in 556 pregnant women with heart disease admitted for delivery in a tertiary university hospital between 2001 and 2005. The objectives were to assess the prevalence of cesarean sections and vaginal births among the whole group of cases and in three subgroups: patients with arrhythmias (A - 57 cases / 10%), congenital diseases (CD - 163 cases / 28,6%) and acquired diseases (AD - 351 cases / 61,4%), and to determine the clinical and obstetrical factors related to the mode of delivery in the whole population and in the subgroups, as well as the association between the mode of delivery and clinical and obstetrical complications. The frequencies of cesarean sections were: 57,2% (whole population), 45,6% (A), 64,2% (CD) and 55,7% (AD); the cesarean sections were performed due to obstetrical reasons in 77% of the cases. In the 425 cases with no previous cesarean sections, the frequencies of c-sections deliveries were 47,1% (whole group), 37,8% (A), 57,8% (CD) and 43,3% (AD). The factors related to a higher probability of cesarean section were: previous cesarean section, gestational age at delivery of less than 37 weeks, presence of obstetrical events, diagnosis of congenital heart disease, heart failure (NYHA functional class III/IV) and use of cardiovascular drugs. The parity above 1 was related to a lesser probability of csections, and previous cesarean was the main factor related to the risk of abdominal delivery. In the cases with no previous cesarean sections, according to the subgroups of heart disease, the probability of cesarean section was heightened in the presence of the following factors: group A: use of cardiovascular drugs, CD: functional class III/IV and obstetrical events and AD: obstetrical events and gestational age in delivery less than 37 weeks. The rate of obstetrical complications was 6,8%, most of them in group A and in vaginal birth. Major clinical complications occurred in 2,5% of the cases, and were more related to cesarean sections (3,8%). Conclusion: the rates of cesarean sections observed in pregnant women with heart disease were high (mainly in the CD group), and related to previous cesarean sections, heart failure, use of cardiovascular drugs, presence of obstetrical events and gestational age at delivery less than 37 weeks.

Introdução:A mortalidade materna é um dos melhores indicadores do desenvolvimento socioeconômico de um país. O Brasil implementou políticas públicas para redução da mortalidade materna até 2015. A região do Grande ABC Paulista no Brasil apresenta grande heterogeneidade socioeconômica entre seus municípios, podendo refletir a desigualdade social do país, porém apresentando dimensões que permitem maior controle de dados da mortalidade. Objetivo: Avaliar a tendência da mortalidade materna na região do Grande ABC Paulista no período de 1997 a 2011. Metodologia: Estudo ecológico de série temporal, cujos dados foram obtidas no banco de dados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde do Brasil (DATASUS) do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil (MS). Os dados foram transformados em Índices da Mortalidade Materna Direta (IMMD), estratificados por municípios, índices de desenvolvimento humano (IDH), causas de óbito materno segundo Classificação internacional de doenças (CID-10), local e período de ocorrência do óbito, dados sóciodemográficos e submetidos a comparações (teste U de Mann-whitney, teste de Kruskal-Wallis e teste de Dunn) e associações pela regressão linear, com significância de 5%. Resultados: Os IMMD predominaram em mulheres solteiras, entre 20-34 anos de idade, brancas, escolaridade entre 4-7 anos, intra-hospitalar, no puerpério imediato, por hemorragias/tromboses/embolias e eclâmpsias. Não houve diferença nos IMMD em relação ao grupo IDH. Rio Grande da Serra atingiu IMMD alto (OMS) na maioria das covariáveis analisadas. Apenas São Caetano do Sul apresentou IMMD baixo (OMS), alto IMMI (p=0,03), queda nos IMMD no período de 1997 a 2011 (beta= -0,67/ano, p=0,03) e tendência neste milênio (2000 a 2011, beta=-0,55/ano, p=0,07) com estimativa de queda de 65,1% até 2015. A soma dos óbitos não investigados, não se aplica e de fichas sem investigação para qualquer variável analisada ultrapassa 50%. Conclusão: Os índices da Mortalidade Materna Direta na região do Grande ABC Paulista apresentaram níveis altos e queda discreta no tempo. Apenas o município de São Caetano do Sul apresentou queda expressiva de IMMD nos 15 anos de estudo e tendência a queda neste milênio com estimativa de atingir 65,1% até 2015.

Brazil has implemented public policies to reduce maternal mortality by 2015. The Grande ABC Paulista region in Brazil shows great socioeconomic heterogeneity among its municipalities, which can reflect the country social inequality, however presenting dimensions that allow greater control of mortality data. Objective: To evaluate the trend of maternal mortality in the Grande ABC Paulista region in the period of 1997-2011. Methodology: Ecological time series, where data was obtained from the database of the Information Technology Department of the Public Health Care System (DATASUS) of the Health Ministry of Brazil (MS). The data was transformed into direct maternal mortality indices (DMMI), stratified by municipalities, Human Development Indices (HDI), causes of maternal death according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), period and local of maternal death, socio-demographic parameters. Data were submitted to comparison tests (Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Dunn\'s multiple comparisons test) and association tests (linear regression) when applied and a significance of 5%. Results: The DMMI predominated in single women, aged 20-34 years old, white, 4 to 7 school age, in-hospital, postpartum, by bleeding / thrombosis / embolism and eclampsia. There was no difference in DMMI when comparing by HDI group. The Municipality of Rio Grande da Serra reached high DMMI values in the most of the analyzed covariates. São Caetano do Sul presented the lowest DMMI values and was the only municipality which presented decrement in the DMMI during the 15 years of the studied period (beta = - 0.67/year, p=0.03) and a trend in this millennium (2000-2011, beta- 0.55/year, p=0.07) with an estimated fall of 65.61% by 2015. The sum of not investigated, not applied and files without investigation for any analyzed variable exceeded 50%. Conclusion: The DMMI in the Grande ABC Paulista showed high levels and downward trend in time. São Caetano do Sul was the sole municipality where the DMMR dropped in 15 years of study and presented a tendency to decrease in this millennium with an estimated fall of 65.1% by 2015

Full textAbstract:
Contraceptives are available free of charge throughout South Africa. Nevertheless the number of requests for termination of pregnancy (TOP) services continues to increase. This research investigated challenges preventing women from using contraceptives effectively. Structured interviews were conducted with 47 women who requested TOP services. Gender and financial issues posed challenges for some women to access contraceptives as well as their reported inability to access contraceptives.
Most (85,5%) of the respondents used contraceptives. They discontinued using contraceptives because they experienced side-effects, necessitating them to request TOPs. Knowledge about, access to, nor the actual use of contraceptive enabled these women to prevent unwanted pregnancies. More effective counselling about the side-effects of contraceptives and enhanced accessibility of contraceptives during weekends and lunch breaks could enable more women to prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce the number of requests for TOPs in the Gert Sibande District (Mpumalanga).Health Studies

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although opioid pain relievers are commonly prescribed in pregnancy, their association with neonatal outcomes is poorly described. Our objectives were to identify neonatal complications associated with antenatal opioid pain reliever exposure and to establish predictors of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). METHODS We used prescription and administrative data linked to vital statistics for mothers and infants enrolled in the Tennessee Medicaid program between 2009 and 2011. A random sample of NAS cases was validated by medical record review. The association of antenatal exposures with NAS was evaluated by using multivariable logistic regression, controlling for maternal and infant characteristics. RESULTS Of 112 029 pregnant women, 31 354 (28%) filled ≥1 opioid prescription. Women prescribed opioid pain relievers were more likely than those not prescribed opioids (P < .001) to have depression (5.3% vs 2.7%), anxiety disorder (4.3% vs 1.6%) and to smoke tobacco (41.8% vs 25.8%). Infants with NAS and opioid-exposed infants were more likely than unexposed infants to be born at a low birth weight (21.2% vs 11.8% vs 9.9%; P < .001). In a multivariable model, higher cumulative opioid exposure for short-acting preparations (P < .001), opioid type (P < .001), number of daily cigarettes smoked (P < .001), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor use (odds ratio: 2.08 [95% confidence interval: 1.67–2.60]) were associated with greater risk of developing NAS. CONCLUSIONS Prescription opioid use in pregnancy is common and strongly associated with neonatal complications. Antenatal cumulative prescription opioid exposure, opioid type, tobacco use, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor use increase the risk of NAS.

Introducing emergency contraception in Bangladesh: A feasibility study. Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2001.1019.
Full textAbstract:
Approximately 28,000 maternal deaths occur every year in Bangladesh due to pregnancy and delivery-related complications, while many more women suffer major physical and psychological injuries. Available statistics indicate an increase in menstrual regulation (MR) and abortions, most performed by untrained practitioners under unhygienic conditions. Introducing emergency contraception (EC) in the national family planning (FP) program in Bangladesh could substantially reduce unwanted pregnancies and as result MR/abortions should also decrease. Because MR/abortions in Bangladesh significantly contribute to high maternal morbidity/mortality, introducing EC could be an important reproductive health intervention to provide couples with a back-up support to prevent unwanted pregnancy. EC could also reduce the psychological worries and health risks associated with unwanted pregnancies, MR, and abortions. The Directorate of Family Planning in collaboration with the Population Council’s Frontiers in Reproductive Health Project, Pathfinder International, and John Snow Inc., is conducting this feasibility study to develop, test, and document operational details for introducing EC as a back-up support for existing FP methods. This report is an interim update of the study’s accomplishments so far.
