Adverse Pregnancy

The purpose of our study was to evaluate pregnancy outcomes of women with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) positivity and assess risk factors associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Pregnant women with aPL positivity were enrolled prospectively in China from January 2017 to March 2020. Treatment of low-dose aspirin and low molecular weight heparin were given. Pregnancy outcomes and coagulation function were recorded and compared with normal pregnancies. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors associated to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). 270 pregnant women, including 44 diagnosed as Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), 91 as non-criteria APS (NCAPS) and 135 normal cases as control, were enrolled in the study. The live birth rate in aPL carriers and APS group was 97% and 95.5%, respectively. Adverse pregnancy outcomes did not show significant difference between aPL carriers and normal pregnancies, and between APS and NCAPS, except for IUGR. The incidence of IUGR was significantly higher in aPL carriers than normal pregnancies, and in APS patients than NCAPS (P < 0.05). After controlling for age, in vitro fertilization (IVF), pregnancy losses related to APS and treatment, anticardiolipin (aCL) positivity was the only variable significantly associated with IUGR, with an adjusted odds ratio of 4.601 (95% CI, 1.205-17.573). Better pregnant outcomes of aPL positive women, include APS and NCAPS, were achieved in our study with treatment based on low-dose aspirin (LDA) plus low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). The incidence of IUGR was still higher in them, and aCL positivity was the only one risk factor associated with IUGR.

This study aimed to identify the effect of low dose aspirin administration in low risk pregnant ladies who have abnormal uterine artery Doppler results. Patients and Methods: A randomized clinical trial was performed on 50 pregnant ladies (≥16 weeks of gestation) in Sulaymaniyah Maternity Teaching Hospital during January 2017 to January 2018. The participants were randomly enrolled into two groups; the participants in the first group were given 100 mg of aspirin tablet each but the other group was given nothing. Results: Preeclampsia was significantly (P-value of <0.001) less in the aspirin group as compared to the other group (16% and 40% respectively). The pulsatility index (PI) was not significantly different in both the groups (P-value = 0.69), but resistance index (RI) was significantly lower in the aspirin group (P-value of <0.001). Conclusion: Doppler study of the uterine artery at 16 weeks or higher in low risk pregnant women appears to be useful as a screening test and low dose of aspirin therapy at early stage of pregnancy will decrease the incidence of preeclampsia.

Original Report

This original report describes the management of a pregnant woman with congenital erythrocytosis (Chuvash polycythaemia) and reviews the scarce data available in the literature. Therapy consisted of low-dose aspirin and phlebotomies to maintain haematocrit <50% while monitoring iron stores to avoid severe deficiency detrimental to the foetus. Despite normal initial foetal growth, the pregnancy was complicated by preterm birth due to chorioamnionitis. The placenta showed no signs of thrombotic events. The published reports cover 13 pregnancies in 8 patients, showing 1 first-trimester miscarriage, 5 infants with intrauterine growth restriction and/or preterm birth and 1 maternal thrombotic event. These cases were managed with phlebotomies, low-dose aspirin and/or low-molecular-weight heparin, although inconsistently.

IntroductionPregnancy in sickle cell disease is fraught with many complications including pre-eclampsia (PE) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Previously, we found an abnormality in prostacyclin–thromboxane ratio in sickle cell pregnant women, a situation that is also found in non-sickle pregnancies with PE and unexplained IUGR. Low-dose aspirin (LDA) has been shown to reduce the incidence of PE and IUGR in high-risk women by reducing the vasoconstrictor thromboxane while sparing prostacyclin, in effect ‘correcting’ the ratio. It has been found to be safe for use in pregnancy but has not been tested in sickle cell pregnancy. We hypothesise that LDA will reduce the incidence of IUGR and PE in pregnant haemoglobin SS (HbSS) and haemoglobin SC (HbSC) women.Methods and analysisThis is a multisite, double blind, randomised controlled trial, comparing a daily dose of 100 mg aspirin to placebo, from 12 to 16 weeks’ gestation until 36 weeks, in Lagos state, Nigeria. Four hundred and seventy-six eligible pregnant HbSS and HbSC women will be recruited consecutively, randomly assigned to either group and followed from recruitment until delivery. The primary outcome will be the incidence of birth weight below 10th centile for gestational age on INTERGROWTH 21 birth weight charts, or incidence of miscarriage or perinatal death. Secondary outcomes will include PE, maternal death, preterm delivery, perinatal death, number of crises, need for blood transfusion and complications such as infections and placental abruption. Analysis will be by intention to treat and the main treatment effects will be quantified by relative risk with 95% CI, at a 5% significance level.Ethical approvalEthical approval has been granted by the Health Research and Ethics committees of the recruiting hospitals and the National Health Research and Ethics Committee. Study findings will be presented at conferences and published appropriately.Trail registration numberPACTR202001787519553; Pre-results.
