The rate of thromboembolic complications associated with thrombophilia is very high; therefore the detection of thrombophilia mutations in the high-risk group of patients is important for the prevention of morbidity, mortality and obstetric losses. The problem of thrombophilia is dealt with by doctors of various specialties: laboratory stuff, geneticists, vascular surgeons, hematologists, neurologists, cardiologists and obstetricians-gynecologists. At the same time, patients with spontaneous thrombosis are followed-up for years without proper examination for thrombophilia. Considering that pregnancy is a condition associated with a high probability of re-thrombosis, it is advisable to determine the cause and tactics of management and treatment of pregnant women as early as possible during the period of pregnancy.

Latar Belakang: Salah satu cara untuk menurunkan angka kesakitan dan kematian ibu dengan pendekatan risiko pada ibu hamil. Deteksi risiko dapat dilakukan oleh bidan dengan skor Poedji Roechayati. Di praktik Mandiri Bidan (PMB) F hal ini telah dilaksanakan. Berdasarkan data terakhir pada bulan Mei  2019, dari 48 orang ibu hamil yang berkunjung ke PMB F didapatkan 18 orang (37,5%) kelompok risiko tinggi (KRT) dan 3 orang (6,25%) kelompok risiko sangat tinggi (KRST), di  tahun 2018, terdapat 21% kasus komplikasi persalinan.Tujuan: Menganalisa hubungan antara tingkat risiko ibu hamil dengan kejadian komplikasi persalinan dan juga cara persalinannya.Metode: . Metode penelitian kuantitatif dengan rancangan penelitian Cross Sectional. Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua ibu bersalin di PMB F pada tahun 2017 s.d juni 2019 sebanyak 90 orang dengan tehnik sampling jenuh. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi Squere.Hasil: Dari 90 orang sampel yang diteliti 60 orang (66,7%) yang termasuk kelompok ibu hamil risiko tinggi (KRT). Ibu dengan cara persalinan normal sebanyak 73 orang (81,1%). Ibu yang mengalami komplikasi pada saat persalinan sebanyak 32 orang (35,6%) dari 90 sampel dan komplikasi ini banyak terjadi pada kelompok risiko tinggi (23 orang) dan kelompok risiko sangat tinggi (7 orang).  Simpulan: Ada hubungan yang signifikan antara Komplikasi persalinan dengan tingkat risiko ibu hamil dan tidak ada hubungan cara persalinan dengan tingkat risiko ibu hamil. Kata Kunci: Cara Persalinan, Komplikasi Persalinan, Tingkat Risiko Kehamilan Background: One way to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality with a risk approach for pregnant women. Risk detection can be done by midwives with Poedji Roechayati scores. In practice the Mandiri Midwife (PMB) F this has been carried out. Based on the latest data in May 2019, out of 48 pregnant women visiting PMB F, there were 18 people (37.5%) high risk group (KRT) and 3 people (6.25%) very high risk group (KRST), in 2018, there were 21% of cases of childbirth complications.Objective: To analyze the relationship between the risk level of pregnant women with the incidence of labor complications and also the mode of delivery.Method: . Quantitative research methods with cross sectional research design. The population of this study were all women giving birth at PMB F in 2017 to June 2019, as many as 90 people with saturated sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using the Chi Squere test.Results: Of the 90 samples studied, 60 (66.7%) were included in the high risk group of pregnant women (KRT). Mothers by normal delivery were 73 people (81.1%). Mothers who experienced complications at the time of delivery were 32 people (35.6%) from 90 samples and this complication mostly occurred in the high risk group (23 people) and the very high risk group (7 people).Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the complications of childbirth with the level of risk of pregnant women and there is no relationship between the way of delivery and the risk of pregnant women. Keywords: Delivery Method, Labor Complications, Pregnancy Risk Level

Pros And Cons

In Europe the incidence of human Q fever has dramatically increased over the previous years. Untreated infections with Coxiella burnetii, the causal agent of Q fever, have been associated with both obstetric and maternal complications. The majority of pregnant women with a C. burnetii infection remain asymptomatic, hence screening could be of value to prevent unwanted outcomes in this high-risk group. We applied the updated Wilson and Jungner criteria to review the evidence for routine screening for C. burnetii infection during pregnancy. Since much uncertainty remains about the incidence, clinical consequences, diagnostics and treatment of C. burnetii infection during pregnancy, routine screening for C. burnetii infection during pregnancy should not be recommended. Rigorous studies to assess the effectiveness of C. burnetii screening are warranted.

Background: The AHA/ACC 2018 Cholesterol Guideline categorizes ASCVD patients into very high-risk vs. high-risk to guide intensive therapy. This categorization is based on clinical conditions, including reduced kidney function, but does not take into account albuminuria, the other kidney measure often available in clinical practice. Methods: We studied 838 participants with major ASCVD (myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or symptomatic peripheral artery disease) from the ARIC study at baseline (1996 - 98). We compared urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and the eight high-risk conditions of age 65+, reduced kidney function, diabetes, etc. in the AHA/ACC Guideline regarding their associations with composite outcome of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and heart failure. We also evaluated risk classification by adding ACR to the eight high-risk conditions. Results: During a median follow-up of 8 years, 724 (86%) participants developed a composite outcome. ACR ≥30 mg/g was associated with the composite outcome (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.45 [95% CI 1.20, 1.75]) beyond the eight high-risk conditions (aHR of these conditions ranged from 0.96 to 2.46). The addition of ACR improved the c-statistic by 0.011 (95% CI 0.003-0.019) from 0.661 to 0.672. ACR classified 4.6% of high-risk group to very high-risk and 11.2% of very high-risk group to extremely very high-risk with a reasonable calibration (Figure). Even ACR ≥10 mg/g showed a significant aHR of 1.38 (1.17, 1.63) and classified 13.4% of high-risk and 18.1% very high-risk to a higher risk category. Of our patients with ASCVD, 77% had diabetes, hypertension, or low kidney function, clinical conditions in which the ACR assessment is recommended. Conclusions: In ASCVD, albuminuria was a strong predictor of major adverse cardiovascular outcome and improved risk prediction. Clinicians should pay attention to albuminuria, in addition to eGFR, when managing ASCVD patients.

PurposeThe pregnancy cohort was established to examine the prevalence and variety of haemoglobinopathies in a high-risk group of pregnant women.ParticipantsThe pregnancy cohort is located in the Department of Obstetrics and Antenatal Care, University Hospital of Basel. The pregnant women were recruited in the first trimester between June 2015 and May 2019. Family origin questionnaires were used to screen pregnant women for the risk of a haemoglobin variant. Based on the questionnaire, pregnant women were divided into two groups: women with a high risk and women with a low risk of a haemoglobin variant. In women with a high risk, red blood cell indices, iron status and chromatography were conducted.Findings to date1785 pregnant women were recruited. Out of the 1785 women, 929 were identified as a part of the high-risk group. Due to the missing data of 74 pregnant women with a high risk, the final analysis was conducted in the remaining 855 women. The prevalence of haemoglobinopathies in the high-risk group was 14.5% (124/855).Future plansThis cohort will be used to: (1) implement the screening in prenatal care in Basel; (2) recommend the screening among pregnant women with a high risk of a haemoglobin variant in Switzerland; (3) improve prenatal and neonatal care in patients with a haemoglobin variant; (4) examine adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with a haemoglobin variant and (5) reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in the future.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT04029142).

Abstract In the German Multicenter ALL studies (GMALL) patients aged >55 years with high risk (B-lineage ALL with WBC at diagnosis >30000, late CR, t (4; 11), complex aberrant karyotype or prae-T or mature T-ALL) or very high risk (Ph+/BCR-ABL+) ALL are increasingly candidates for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allogeneic SCT with a HLA identical sibling donor, MRD or a matched unrelated donor, MUD) or autologous SCT. Here, we report on 31 elderly patients transplanted within the GMALL studies 06/99 and 07/03. Median age of the patients was 61 years (56–65). 22 patients belonged to the very high risk group (VHR), 8 patients to the high risk group (HR) and 1 patient from the standard risk group (SR) was transplanted because of detection of minimal residual disease.17/31 patients were transplanted from a matched unrelated donor, 9/31 patients from a HLA identical sibling donor and 5/31 patients underwent autologous SCT. Conditioning regimens for MRD SCT were myeloablative (MAC) in 6 patients (TBI 12 Gy and chemotherapy n=2, radioimmunotherapy + chemotherapy n=2, chemotherapy only n=2) and 3 patients received reduced intensity conditioning (RIC).Conditioning regimens for MUD SCT changed over time with an increasing number of RIC in the study 07/03. In total, 7/17 patients received MAC (TBI 12 Gy and chemotherapy n=5, chemotherapy only n=2) and 10/17 patients received RIC. Conditioning regimens in autologous SCT were myeloablative (MAC) in 5/5 patients. Results: After allogeneic MRD SCT 4/9 patients (44%) are alive in CCR (d+ 24, d+ 611, d+ 1721, d+ 2321), 3/9 patients died due to leukemia, 2/9 due to transplant related mortality (TRM). After allogeneic MUD SCT 8/17 patients (46%) are alive in CCR (from d+ 165 to d+ 2176). 1 further patient is alive after re- SCT for treatment of relapse. 7/17 patients died due to TRM and 1 patient died due to relapse. After autologous SCT 2/5 patients are alive in CCR (d+ 1703, d+ 1731), 3/5 died due to relapse. Risk factors for TRM: In allo SCT and MAC 8/13 patients died due to TRM in contrast to 1/13 patients with RIC. In auto SCT none of the patients died due to TRM. Risk factors for relapse: In allogeneic MRD SCT 3/9 patients died due to relapse and 2/17 patients relapsed after MUD SCT. Due to the small number of patients, no difference between MAC and RIC could be found. In autologous SCT 3/5 patients died due to relapse. In conclusion: The study shows that allo MRD but also MUD SCT is very effective in a selected population of elderly ALL patients. Since the survival of elderly patients with chemotherapy only is about 25%, more patients should be encouraged to have a MRD or MUD SCT.

Aim. To study capabilities of quantitative elastographic study to assess the elasticity of the uterine cervix in women with a fetal chromosomal abnormality in the first trimester of pregnancy.Methods. 230 pregnant women of high-risk group at 11-13.6 weeks of pregnancy (parietal-coccygeal length 45-84 mm) were included in this study. The first group consisted of 213 women without fetal pathology. The second group included 17 women, in whose fetuses different chromosomal abnormalities were detected. In ultrasound examination of pregnant women in the I trimester of pregnancy, in addition to standard methods of examination, quantitative cervical elastography was performed.Results. According to results of quantitative elastography in 14 (82.35%) out of 17 pregnant women (second group) one or another degree of the cervical tissue softening was found, and 3 (17.64%) pregnant women with fetal chromosomal pathology had stiff cervix (all 3 cases with Down syndrome). In the control group in 10 (4.7%) of 213 pregnant women relatively soft cervix was identified, and in 203 (95.3%) women cervical density was higher than the myometrial density. A statistically significant difference between the indices of SWE-Ratio in groups was revealed. Quantitative elastography, as a diagnostic test predicting the risk of miscarriage due to chromosomal abnormalities, has a high sensitivity (84.38%) and even higher specificity (95.26%) of negative predictive value 97.57%.Conclusion. Quantitative elastography reveals a significant decrease in the cervical elasticity (softening) in pregnant women with fetal chromosomal abnormality in the I trimester of pregnancy, which allows us to recommend this method of ultrasound examination as an additional marker for early diagnosis of miscarriage due to fetal chromosomal abnormality.

Aim. To assess the specifics of antihypertension therapy (AHT) in hypertensives of various cardiovascular risk, in the registry of chronic non-communicable diseases in Tyumenskaya oblast.Material and methods. A random sample studied, of 1704 patients with hypertension, inhabitants of Tyumenskaya oblast (region), ascribed to dispensary follow-up. Mean age 62±7,5 y.o. Of those 31,5% (n=537) males. The prevalence and efficacy of AHT assessed according to cardiovascular risk level. The significance was evaluated with the criteria χ2.Results. AHT was characterized by the growth of the frequency of treatment approaches with cardiovascular risk consideration. Regular treatment took 33,9% patients of low and moderate risk vs 41,3% of high and very high (p<0,01). In the male group such tendency also took place. Gender specifics of AHT was characterized by that in the groups of high and very high risk females took medications significantly more commonly than males — 46,6% vs 29,1% in high risk group (p<0,01) and 47,5% vs 30% in very high risk group (p<0,01). With the increase of the risk level, there was decline of treatment efficacy — from 95% in low risk group to 32,5% in very high risk group; 53,1% of the participants were taking monotherapy, 32,9% — two drugs, 14,0% — ≥3 drugs. With the increase of risk grade there is tendency to increase of combinational AHT, however with no significant increase of efficacy. Treatment efficacy in high and very high risk patients comparing to patients with low and moderate risk was significantly lower — 33,1% vs 69,7% (p<0,01), respectively. Statins intake among the high and very high risk patients was 10,6-11,0% males and 7,8% females (p<0,05).Conclusion. AHT in hypertensives in Tymenskaya oblast, under dispensary follow-up, is characterized by insufficient usage of combinational drugs. With the raise of cardiovascular risk there is tendency to higher rate of combinational AHT. However there is no significant increase in efficacy of treatment with the increase of medications number. A very low rate of statins intake is noted. The obtained specifics witness for the necessity to optimize AHT among the high and very high risk patients — inhabitants of Tyumenskya oblast.

Objective: The main objective was to develop a decision-support tool to assess the risk of caregiver burden, the Caregiver Risk Evaluation (CaRE) algorithm. Methods: Home care clients were assessed using the Resident Assessment Instrument for Home Care (RAI-HC). Their caregiver completed the 12-item Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), the main dependent measure, which was linked to the RAI-HC. Results: In the sample ( n = 344), 48% were aged 85+ years and 61.6% were female. The algorithm can be collapsed into four categories (low, moderate, high, and very high risk). Relative to the low-risk group, clients in the very high-risk group had an odds ratio of 5.16 (95% confidence interval: [2.05, 12.9]) for long-term care admission, after adjusting for client age, sex, and regional health authority. Discussion: The CaRE algorithm represents a new tool to be used by home care clinicians as they proactively plan for the needs of clients and their caregivers.
