AbstractObjectiveTo describe the prevalence and determinants of gestational night blindness in pregnant women receiving care in a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.DesignCross-sectional study of pregnant and postpartum women receiving care in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro from 1999 to 2001 (group I; n 225) or from 2005 to 2008 (group II; n 381). Night blindness was identified through a standardized and validated interview (WHO, 1996). The determinants of gestational night blindness were identified through a hierarchical logistic regression model.SettingPublic maternity hospital in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.SubjectsAdult pregnant and postpartum women (n 606), aged ≥20 years.ResultsThe prevalence of gestational night blindness was 9·9 %. The final model revealed that not living in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro (distal level: adjusted OR=1·846; 95 % CI 1·002, 3·401), belonging to group I (intermediate level: adjusted OR=2·183; 95 % CI 1·066, 4·471) and for the proximal level, having a history of abortion (adjusted OR=2·840; 95 % CI 1·134, 7·115) and having anaemia during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy (adjusted OR=3·776; 95 % CI 1·579, 9·029) were determinants of gestational night blindness.ConclusionGestational night blindness should be assessed for during the prenatal care of all pregnant women, especially those living in deprived areas of the city and/or who have a history of abortion or anaemia. Nutritional monitoring is recommended during pregnancy to control gestational night blindness.

Background and Objectives: COVID-19, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a public health emergency. Data on the effect of the virus on pregnancy are limited. Materials and Methods: We carried out a retrospective descriptive study, in order to evaluate the obstetric results on pregnant women in which SARS-CoV-2 was detected through RT-PCR of the nasopharyngeal swab, at admission to the maternity hospital. Results: From 16 March to 31 July 2020, 12 SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women have been hospitalized. Eleven were hospitalized for initiation or induction of labor, corresponding to 0.64% of deliveries in the maternity hospital. One pregnant woman was hospitalized for threatened abortion, culminating in a stillbirth at 20 weeks of gestation. Regarding the severity of the disease, nine women were asymptomatic and three had mild illness (two had associated cough and one headache). Three had relevant environmental exposure and a history of contact with infected persons. None had severe or critical illness due to SARS-CoV-2. There were no maternal deaths. The following gestational complications were observed: one stillbirth, one preterm labor, one preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, and one fetal growth restriction. Four deliveries were eutocic, two vacuum-assisted deliveries and five were cesarean sections. The indications for cesarean section were obstetric. Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection was found in a minority of hospitalized pregnant women in this sample. Most are asymptomatic or have mild illness, from gestational complications to highlight stillbirth and preterm birth. There were no cases of vertical transmission by coronavirus.

The aim of the study – to determine the frequency of preeclampsia in pregnant females with anterior location of the placenta and to determine the prognostic significance when combined with a marker of acute renal damage – cystatin C level. Materials and Methods. In 2018–2020, a prospective cohort study that enrolled 91 pregnant women at their second trimester of gestation was conducted at Maternity Clinic and Obstetric Hospital of Maternity Hospital No. 2, Odesa. The group with the anterior location of the placenta consisted of 47 (51.65 %) pregnant women and 44 (48.35 %) had the posterior location of the placenta. Assessment of serum cystatin C was performed in women without clinical manifestations of PE at the second or third trimester of gestation (18–36 weeks), the average term was (32.22±0.41) weeks of pregnancy (p=0.011). Results and Discussion. 28.57 % of pregnant women were subsequently diagnosed with preeclampsia (PE), of whom 19 (20.88 %) had anterior and 7 (7.69 %) posterior placenta location. Body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy, age, and height: no statistically significant difference observed between groups (p> 0.05). Analysis of maternal factors of PE in relation to the anterior location of the placenta: odds ratio (OR) higher than 1.0 was noted for combination with obesity (OR 2.38 (95 % CI 0.75–7.53)), the age over 35 years (OR 1.01 (95 % CI 0.41–2.49)) and history of PE during previous pregnancy (OR 1.38 (95 % CI 0.21–9.01)), but no statistical significance was observed (р˃0.05). When analyzing cystatin C values over 1.0 mmol/l relative to the anterior location of the placenta, the OR was 3.92 (95 % CI 1.45–10.57), sensitivity 84.09 %, specificity 42.55 %, accuracy 62.64 % were reported, p=0.011. When analyzing the frequency of preeclampsia in the anterior location of the placenta, the OR was 3.59 (95 % CI 1.32 - 9.71), sensitivity 84.09 %, specificity 40.43 %, accuracy 61.54 % were reported with statistical significance p=0.019. Conclusions. The risk of preeclampsia in patients with the anterior location of the placenta increases by 3.59 times with a prognostic accuracy of 61.54 %. To increase the prognostic significance for the detection of preeclampsia in women with anterior location of the placenta, it is recommended to assess the serum level of cystatin C.
