Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a common complication of pregnancy and a global public health concern. Even though PPH risk factors were extensively studied and reported in literature, almost all studies were conducted in non-Asian countries or tertiary care centers. Our study aimed to explore relevant risk factors for PPH among pregnant women who underwent transvaginal delivery at a Thai–Myanmar border community hospital in Northern Thailand. An exploratory nested case-control study was conducted to explore risk factors for PPH. Women who delivered transvaginal births at Maesai hospital from 2014 to 2018 were included. Two PPH definitions were used, which were ≥ 500 mL and 1000 mL of estimated blood loss within 24 h after delivery. Multivariable conditional logistic regression was used to identify significant risk factors for PPH and severe PPH. Of 4774 women with vaginal births, there were 265 (5.55%) PPH cases. Eight factors were identified as independent predictors for PPH and severe PPH: elderly pregnancy, minority groups, nulliparous, previous PPH history, BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2, requiring manual removal of placenta, labor augmentation, and fetal weight > 4000 gm. Apart from clinical factors, particular attention should be given to pregnant women who were minority groups as PPH risk significantly increased in this population.

AbstractPeople with epilepsy (PWE) have an increased suicide prevalence. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for suicidal tendency among PWE in West China. A nested case–control study was designed in a cohort of patients with epilepsy (n = 2087). In total, 28 variates were calculated. In the univariate analysis, unemployment, low income, seizure frequency, seizure-free time, infectious or structural etiology, levetiracetam or phenobarbital use, anxiety, depression, and stigma were associated with suicidal tendency. A multivariate analysis indicated that unemployment (odds ratio [OR] 5.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.13–15.48), levetiracetam use (OR 2.80, 95%CI 1.11–7.05), depression (C-NDDI-E score ≥ 13; OR 3.21, 95%CI 1.26–8.21), and stigma (SSCI score ≥ 16; OR 6.67, 95%CI 1.80–24.69) were independently associated with suicidal tendency. Conditional inference tree analysis indicated that SSCI and C-NDDI-E scores could effectively identify patients with suicidal tendency. Thus, this study suggests that unemployment, levetiracetam use, depression, and stigma are independent risk factors for suicidal tendency in PWE in China.

Introduction: Pregnancy is a normal physiological event but some pregnancyspecific or other medical conditions can cause maternal as well as fetal morbidities and evenmortalities. Among them, raised blood pressure during pregnancy adversely affects bothmaternal and fetal outcomes. Objectives: In this study, risk factors associated with hypertensivedisorders of pregnancy are explored and pregnancy outcomes of hypertensive women withnormotensive pregnant women are compared. Design: Case control study. Settings: Obstetricsand gynecology department of Jinnah hospital Lahore. Period: 1st October 2011 to 24 February2012. Subjects and methods: The case control study of 250 cases (pregnant females withhypertensive disorders) and controls (pregnant females without hypertensive disorder),presented at obstetrics & gynecology department of Jinnah hospital during 1st October 2011 to24 February 2012 was conducted. SPSS software (16) and MS excel were used for statisticalanalysis. Results: Mean age for cases and controls was 26.96 ± 5.29yearsand 25.25 ±4.60years, respectively. Age and history of pregnancy was found to be significantly associatedwith hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Comparison of neonatal outcome between casegroup and control group showed that hypertensive pregnant women were at higher risk of havingadverse pregnancy outcome. Conclusions: Women with hypertension during pregnancy are atincreased risk of having adverse pregnancy outcome as compared to normotensive women andage, history of pregnancy induced hypertension are contributing risk factors for developinghypertension during pregnancy.
