Background There are a lack of studies about factors influencing congenital syphilis (CS) in economically underdeveloped areas, such as Jiangxi Province, China. Methods A retrospective study was conducted based on the information system of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of syphilis management in Jiangxi Province, China. Pregnant women with syphilis infection who delivered ≥28 gestational weeks and registered in this system from 1 January 2013 to 2030 June 2018 were enrolled. Maternal characteristics and treatment regimens associated with CS were evaluated using multivariable regression analysis. Results 1196 syphilis infected mothers and their 1207 infants were included in the analyses, and 116 infants were diagnosed with CS, providing an overall incidence of 9.61% (116/1207). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that increasing maternal age was barely associated with the risk of CS (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.97, 95% CI, 0.93–1.00, p = .047). Women with a high nontreponemal serum test titer (≥1:8) had a 126% increased risk of delivering an infant with CS than those with a low titer (<1:8) (aOR = 2.26, 95% CI, 1.51–3.39, p < .001). The risk for CS decreased significantly in infants born to mothers receiving adequate treatment than those receiving no treatment (aOR = 0.36, 95% CI, 0.21–0.61, p < .001). Conclusions Adequate treatment is critical for the prevention of CS. Further strategies focusing on early diagnosis and adequate treatment among syphilis infected pregnant women, particularly among those with younger age and high nontreponemal titer, should be strengthened to prevent CS.

The objective: to study the features of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum period, fetal status and newborns in patients with a history of chronic salpingo-оophoritis.Materials and methods. Conducted a retrospective study of 150 birth histories and neonatal development maps. All patients were divided into two groups. The main group includes 100 patients with chronic salpingo-оophoritis, for which they received anti-inflammatory treatment from 1 to 3 times before pregnancy. The control group included 50 pregnant women who did not suffer from chronic salpingo-оophoritis.Results. Our analysis of pregnancy, childbirth, fetal and neonatal status in women with chronic salpingo-оophoritis indicates that such patients have a complicated obstetric and gynecological and somatic history, which forms an unfavorable basic condition of organs and systems, imperfect adaptation to pregnancy, high risk of failure of adaptive reactions. The result is a violation of the formation and development of the mother-placenta-fetus system and, as a consequence, a high level of complications during pregnancy, childbirth and perinatal pathology.Conclusion. Patients suffering from chronic salpingo-oophoritis should be considered at high risk of possible complications during pregnancy and childbirth. This category of women needs quality preconception training and careful monitoring during pregnancy.

Abstract Background: Maternal mortality remains a great challenge in a low-income country like Tanzania, despite global and national efforts to improve women’s reproductive health. Timeliness and appropriateness of referral from a lower- to higher-level health facility comprise an important factor for the obstetrics outcome for pregnant women. This study aimed to determine the obstetric outcomes, such as maternal deaths, of women referred to KCMC, a tertiary hospital in northern Tanzania. Methods: A descriptive retrospective study based on a hospital birth registry was conducted, using consecutive stored data on pregnant women referred while in labor and managed at the KCMC tertiary hospital in northern Tanzania between the years 2000 and 2015. All referred pregnant women whose labor status information was missing during admission were excluded from the study. Results: During the study period, a total of 53662 deliveries were managed at KCMC. Among these, 6066 women were referred from lower health facilities, with 4193 (69.2%) of them being referred while in labor. The main reason for referral was poor progress of labor (31.0%), followed by prolonged labor (27.1%) and obstructed labor (19.5%). For 1859 (44.6%) women, delivery was by caesarean section. A total of 292 maternal deaths occurred between 2000 and 2015. Of these, almost a quarter (22.6%) occurred in women referred from other health facilities while in labor. Conclusions: Most of the maternal complications during labor and delivery were prevalent among women referred from lower health facilities. This underscores the need to strengthen lower health facilities’ ability to detect complications in timely manner and provide effective emergency obstetric care, as well as to refer women to higher-level facility.

This article presents the results of the retrospective study of the childbirth history of 106 pregnant women in whom labor was complicated by premature rupture of the membranes, delivery in the Bukhara regional perinatal center for the period 2017-2019 years. The results show the significant role of premature rupture of the membranes in the development of obstetrics and perinatal complications, especially in women with a history of somatic and gynecological anamnesis

Abstract Objective To study the effect of nicoumalone on embryogenesis in women who have undergone mechanical heart valve replacement surgery. Design It is a retrospective study done at Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS), Tirupati. Results Total 28 pregnancies were reported in 12 women with mechanical heart valve prostheses. Of these, 19 were live births, 9 abortions, and no stillbirths and miscarriages were noted in pregnant women. There were 11 hemorrhagic, 3 neurologic, 2 thromboembolic, and 1 stuck valve complications observed in mothers; and 2 low birth weights, 2 pneumonia, and 1 jaundice observed in the child. Conclusion There were no abnormalities observed in children whose mothers were taking nicoumalone throughout pregnancy based on echo results and clinical examination.
