Objective. To develop a model of an integral index for complex assessment of varicose vein risk factors and estimate the influence of pregnancy on the occurrence of chronic vein diseases. Varicose veins (VV) and chronic venous insufficiency are one of the most widespread human diseases. This pathology in pregnancy has a clear picture, which is quite different from varicose veins in non-pregnant women. Materials and methods. Analysis of 1974 individual medical cards of pregnant women and puerperas of Maternity Hospital № 2 for the period of 20162019 was carried out. Out of them, 456 cards had a diagnosis of varicose veins of the lower limbs. The method was based on statistical analysis and integral indices. Results. The following risk diapasons were determined: low risk (favorable prognosis) 0.440.85; medium risk (favorable prognosis is possible) 0.861.28; high risk (unfavorable prognosis) 1.292.13. The quantity of pregnancies is not an unfavorable prognosis for women. Long statistical loads give unfavorable prognosis (1.341.43); family predisposition is an unfavorable prognosis (1.66); lifting loads depending on the quantity in grams (1000 favorable sign; 500010 000 unfavorable (1.211.870)); wearing tight clothes is not an unfavorable prognosis (0.88); hypodynamia medium risk (1.14); diet low and medium risk (0.750.95), obesity high risk (1.242.15). Conclusions. The obtained results permitted to detect the most significant risk factors for varicose veins during pregnancy. Medium and high-risk indices are the following: long statistical loads, family predisposition, lifting loads, hypodynamia, diet and obesity. They influence the development of varicose veins. There is a possibility to present a prospective prognosis for pregnant women and develop a complex of measures to decrease risks for chronic vein diseases taking into account individual features of patients.

Background: To estimate the incidence and associated risk indicators of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities. Patients and methods: A population-based 5-year follow-up study with self-administered questionnaire. The study included 5568 persons at the beginning, with a follow-up of 17005 person-years. A questionnaire was sent to all residents in the city of Tampere, Finland, born in 1929, 1939 and 1949. In the first survey the number of participants was 5568 and in the second questionnaire 4903. The participation rates were 83% and 88%. Results: The incidence of DVT was 140 per 100000 person-years. The life-time prevalence of DVT was 3.1%. In a univariate analysis, the appearance of a new DVT during the follow-up time (incidence) was statistically significantly associated with pre-existing varicose veins, sex-steroid therapy, heart failure and arterial insufficiency in the lower limbs. In multivariate analysis varicose veins, arterial insufficiency in the lower limbs and sex-steroid therapy remained as significant risk factors associated with DVT. Conclusions: The study confirms that the incidence of DVT in Finland is close to the estimates in other Western populations. Pre-existing varicose veins, sex-steroid therapy and arterial insufficiency in the lower limbs are independent risk factors for DVT in our population-based study.

Aim. Conduct a correlation analysis of the dependence of risk factors in the etiopathogenesis of chronic venous diseases. Materials and methods. On the basis of the GBUZ TO “Maternity Hospital № 2” of the city of Tyumen, an analysis of the patients’ data was carried out in the form of a clinical examination and questionnaires. The average age of the examined patients is 26 years. The survey involved 468 women in the period 2017-2019. Results. Among the surveyed patients, 52,4% had CVD. Pregnant women with CVD have subjective symptoms and objective symptoms. Dilated veins exist for less than 5 years in 86,5% of pregnant women, and in 13,5% – for more than 5 years. Varicose veins, with a predominant localization on the left lower limb, were found in 7,5%, on the right – in 11,1%, and on both legs – 81,5%. Conclusion. The use of a statistical indicator made it possible to calculate the dependence of the appearance of a disease in the presence of a certain risk factor – in this case, the correlation is direct, the relationship is close (0,94); as well as to evaluate the prognosis for pregnant women prospectively and create complexes of measures to prevent venous diseases, taking into account the individual characteristics of patients.

It has recently been demonstrated that about 56 percent of patients delivering in a rural obstetric unit had significant risk factors, and that 85 percent of these could have been detected by meticulous antenatal screening before the onset of labour. These figures show that the average rural obstetric unit in South Africa is dealing with a large percentage of high risk patients. In this work, it is hampered by: 1. Communications problems: i.e. bad roads, long distances. and unpredictable telephones. 2. A serious shortage of medical staff resulting in primary obstetric care being delivered by midwives with minimal medical supervision.

Aim. To determine the risk factors for human papillomavirus of high carcinogenic risk (HPV HCR) and cervical diseases (CD) in pregnant women associated with the social status, reproductive and contraceptive behavior. Materials and methods. Design: open-label comparative non-interventional cohort study in parallel groups. The total number of patients 330 people, of whom 148 women were negative for HPV and 182 women were positive. They were divided into 4 groups depending on the presence or absence of CD. Methods: analysis of anamnesis data, general clinical, test Kvant-21 to determine HPV, cytological examination, extended colposcopy. Results. The most significant risk factors for HPV HRS infection were identified: history of mycoplasma infection (OR 5.9) and BV (OR 5.3), alcohol consumption (OR 4.0). A history of STIs (trichomoniasis and chlamydial infection), as well as more than 3 sexual partners (OR 2.7) were also significant. The most significant risk factors for CD in HPV-infected women were: age over 35 years (OR 3.8), a history of bacterial vaginosis (OR 3.0), and lack of regular screening (OR 2.4). The coitarche earlier than 16 years old (OR 2.2) also mattered. There were also found factors indicating a low risk of HPV infection the use of condoms (OR 0.3), and a low risk of CD was indicated by age under 25 years (OR 0.2) and regular screening (OR 0.3). Conclusion. HPV infection with HRS and the prevalence of CMC in pregnant women against the background of HPV infection is associated mainly with social risk factors, to a lesser extent with factors of reproductive and contraceptive behavior.

This study was designed to analyze the outcomes of chemotherapy for high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) with EMA-CO regimen as primary and secondary protocol in China. Fifty-four patients with high-risk GTN received 292 EMA/CO treatment cycles between 1996 and 2005. Forty-five patients were primarily treated with EMA-CO, and nine were secondarily treated after failure to other combination chemotherapy. Adjuvant surgery and radiotherapy were used in the selected patients. Response, survival and related risk factors, as well as chemotherapy complications, were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-five of forty-five patients (77.8%) receiving EMA-CO as first-line treatment achieved complete remission, and 77.8% (7/9) as secondary treatment. The overall survival rate was 87.0% in all high-risk GTN patients, with 93.3% (42/45) as primary therapy and 55.6% (5/9) as secondary therapy. The survival rates were significantly different between two groups (χ2= 6.434, P = 0.011). Univariate analysis showed that the metastatic site and the number of metastatic organs were significant risk factors, but binomial distribution logistic regression analysis revealed that only the number of metastatic organs was an independent risk factor for the survival rate. No life-threatening toxicity and secondary malignancy were found. EMA-EP regimen was used for ten patients who were resistant to EMA-CO and three who relapsed after EMA-CO. Of those, 11 patients (84.6%) achieved complete remission. We conclude that EMA-CO regimen is an effective and safe primary therapy for high-risk GTN, but not an appropriate second-line protocol. The number of metastatic organs is an independent prognostic factor for the patient with high-risk GTN. EMA-EP regimen is a highly effective salvage therapy for those failing to EMA-CO.

Abstract Introduction The pregnancy-puerperal cycle is defined as a moment that involves physical, psychological and social changes. There are pregnancies that require specialized care and attention due to the presence of risk factors that may be prior to pregnancy and / or that may be associated with the pregnancy condition itself, which characterize them as high-risk pregnancies. Currently, prenatal care with risk stratification is the main care strategy for pregnant women, once the risk classification is identified, it is possible to promote interventions according to the health needs of each pregnant woman. For this, the risk assessment is carried out at each prenatal consultation, so that, depending on the course of pregnancy, hospitalization becomes necessary. The diagnosis of high-risk pregnancies accompanied by hospitalization has impacts on the woman's life, such as loss of autonomy, a sense of failure and the incidence of greater care and interventions by the health team and the family that can configure practices to control their bodies. Objective This work aims to identify the hospitalization process during high-risk pregnancy as a space for the production of projects, resistance and protagonism through the protocols and regulations that configure the hospital context. Methodology This is an exploratory analysis of a qualitative approach in public health. A reference maternity hospital in high-risk pregnancy located in a teaching hospital in Greater Vitória was chosen. It will be used to define sampling for convenience. The data will be collected through semi-structured interviews and on-site observations by the researcher. The data analysis methodology used will be content analysis. Expected Results It is expected to understand the various practices of protagonism and resistance that permeate the care of hospitalized pregnant women. Key messages This work has an impact on the improvement of the maternal and child care network of the public health system in Brazil. This work allows to evaluate the quality of the assistance provided in the public maternity.
