Background Globally, 292,982 women die due to the complications of pregnancy and childbirth per year, out of those deaths 85% occurs in Sub Saharan Africa. In Ethiopia, pre-eclampsia accounts for 11% of direct maternal deaths. Objective To determine maternal and foetal outcomes of pregnancy-induced hypertension among women who gave birth at health facilities in Hossana town administration. Methods Institutional based unmatched case-control study was conducted among women, who gave birth at health facilities from May 20 to October 30, 2018. By using Epi-Info version 7; 207 sample size was estimated, for each case two controls were selected. Two health facilities were selected using a simple random sampling method. Sample sizes for each facility were allocated proportionally. All cleaned & coded data were entered into Epi-info version 3.5.1 and analysis was carried out using SPSS version 20. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine predictors of pregnancy-induced hypertension at a p-value of <0.05. Result Women between 18 to 41 years old had participated in the study with the mean age of 26.00(SD ±4.42), and 25.87(SD ±5.02) for cases and controls respectively. Out of participants 21(30.4%) among cases and 21(15.2%) among controls had developed at least one complication following delivery. 12 (17.4%) and 8 (5.7%) foetal deaths were found in cases and controls groups respectively whereas 15.6% from cases and 3.6% from controls groups women gave birth to the foetus with intra-uterine growth retardation. Women gravidity AOR = 0.32 [95% CI (0.12 0.86)], Previous history of pregnancy-induced hypertension AOR = 22.50 [95% CI (14.95 16.52)] and educational status AOR = 0.32[95% CI (0.12, 0.85)] were identified as predictor of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Conclusion Women with a previous history of pregnancy-induced hypertension had increased risk of developing pregnancy-induced hypertension, whilst ≥ 3 previous pregnancies and informal educational status decrease odds of developing pregnancy-induced hypertension.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between pregnancy-induced hypertension and low birth weight. A population-based case control study was conducted. Antenatal mothers who attended the government health centers in the district of Kuala Muda, Kedah, Malaysia from June 2003 to May 2004 were recruited. Cases were 312 mothers who delivered low birth weight babies, and controls were 312 mothers who delivered normal birth weight babies. Face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire and a review of medical records were carried out. After controlling for important confounders such as gestational age at delivery, maternal age, ethnicity, education, parity, and previous history of abortion, pregnancy-induced hypertension was found to be an independent risk factor (adjusted odds ratio = 5.06; 95% confidence interval: 2.63, 9.71) for low birth weight. There was a significant association of pregnancy-induced hypertension with low birth weight. Women who delivered low birth weight babies were 5 times more likely to have had pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a major health problem to the world and is found to be the major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality accounting for nearly 10-15% 0f maternal deaths. Objective:To assess the determinants of Pregnancy induced hypertension. Methods: A case control study was conducted among pregnant women at Rajiv Gandhi Women and Children Hospital, Puducherry. 63 women with PIH were selected as cases and 63 normotensive pregnant women were taken as controls. The cases were selected by purposive sampling and the controls by simple random sampling. The tool consists of a self structured questionnaire which consists of the socio demographic factors and various other determinants assumed as a risk factor for PIH and some required information was also obtained from the case records. Statistics: The odds ratio and Chi-square test was used to determine the risk and association between PIH and the determinants respectively.Results: Primigravida (OR=2.826), multiple pregnancy (OR=2.629), presence of pedal edema (OR=54.836), family history of diabetes (OR=2.969), family history of hypertension (OR=5.5) Overweight (OR=2.12) and obesity (OR=6.52) were found to be significant risk factors of PIH. There was statistically significant association with history of abortion, parity, presence of pedal edema, use of contraceptives, family history of diabetes, family history of hypertension, prepregnancy Body mass index and PIH.

ObjectivesThis study investigated the risk of neurodegenerative dementia following asthma.DesignA nested case–control studySettingThe ≥60-year-old population was selected from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service – National Sample Cohort from 2002 to 2013.Participants and interventionsThe 11 442 dementia cases were matched with 45 768 control cases for age, sex, income, region of residence, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia. Asthma was classified using International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) codes (J45 and J46) and medication history. Dementia was identified based on ICD-10 codes (G30 and F00).Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe ORs of a previous history of asthma in patients with dementia were analysed using conditional logistic regression analysis stratified for age, sex, income, region of residence, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia. Subgroup analysis was performed according to age and sex.ResultsOverall, 22.6% (2587/11 442) and 22.3% (10 229/45 768) of the cases in the dementia and control groups, respectively, had a previous history of asthma. The OR for asthma in the dementia group was not higher than that in the control group (adjusted OR=0.97, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.02, p=0.207). All age and sex subgroups demonstrated consistent results.ConclusionsAsthma was not related to an increased risk of dementia.

10012 Background: Some prospective studies in US and UK (represented by Women’s Health Initiative and Million Women Study) show that HRT use may increase the risk of breast cancer. However, it is unclear whether or not this perspective is applicable to Japanese women, due to several factors such as the difference in incidence of breast cancer, difference in HRT prevalence, which are to be concerned in this study. To investigate the relationship between HRT use and breast cancer, a case-control study was conducted in Japan. Methods: We sent self-administered questionnaire to 4,500 cases who have a previous history of confirmed histological breast cancer and 4,500 controls who were selected according to the inclusion criteria. All the subjects were between age 45 and 69 at the time of enrollment. Among these subjects, 3,434 in case group and 2,427 in control group sent back their questionnaire (total 5,861). The datacenter was run in Kitasato Univ. and the statistical analysis was performed using SAS (version 9.1). Control was selected by considering the screening record for GI disease and respiratory disorders, with no previous history of breast cancer, gynecological and hormonal disease at the time of screening. We asked about past history of exposure to the factors supposed to be breast cancer-causing; previous or current use of HRT, age at diagnosis, academic background, BMI, lifestyle habits, age of menarche, birth history, history of breast feeding, family history, use of contraceptive agents and menopausal status. Results: As the main analysis result, 164 (5.0%) out of 3,316 cases and 253 (7.4%) out of 2355 controls had used HRT (Odds ratio 0.432 [95% CI 0.352–0.530]. Conclusions: The result of this study shows that HRT users were less likely to develop breast cancer than never users. However, in this study, there was a difference in the observation period for the past use of HRT between cases and controls. Considering the transition of HRT prevalence in Japan, there may be a possibility that this difference can be a cause of a serious bias for the main analysis result. Further sensitivity analyses are needed to evaluate the robustness of the findings and this point is under consideration. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
