  El parto pretérmino es un problema de salud a nivel mundial. En la medicina perinatal continúa siendo una de las complicaciones más frecuentes, de ahí que la mayor parte de las muertes neonatales ocurren en nacidos prematuros. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la relación entre el aborto previo como factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de parto pretérmino en gestantes ingresadas en al área de emergencias y hospitalización del Hospital Básico Jipijapa. Este trabajo se desarrolló como una investigación cualicuantitativa, retrospectiva, descriptiva y transversal. Las características sociodemográficas de las pacientes con antecedentes de abortos previos y parto pretérmino mostraron que las menores de 18 años, casadas, residentes en zonas urbanas y con nivel de instrucción secundaria fueron la mayoría. Se determinó que el aborto previo predominante fue espontáneo, de dos o tres. La edad gestacional del aborto fue menor a 12 semanas, el tiempo entre la ocurrencia del aborto y el embarazo que culminó en un parto pretérmino fue de 6 meses y la complicación del aborto más presentada fue el aborto séptico. La edad gestacional y el peso al nacer de los pretérminos que tuvieron antecedentes maternos de aborto previo, en su mayoría fue mayor a 32 semanas y con un peso superior a los 2 500 gramos.   Palabras clave: Aborto previo, factor de riesgo, parto pretérmino.   Abstract Preterm birth is a global health problem. In perinatal medicine, it continues to be one of the most frequent complications, hence the majority of neonatal deaths occur in premature births. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between previous abortion as a risk factor for the development of preterm birth in pregnant women admitted to the emergency area and hospitalization of the Jipijapa Basic Hospital. This work was developed as a qualitative-quantitative, retrospective, descriptive and cross-sectional investigation. The sociodemographic characteristics of the patients with a history of previous abortions and preterm delivery showed that those under 18 years of age, married, living in urban areas and with a secondary education level were the majority. It was determined that the predominant previous abortion was spontaneous, of two or three. The gestational age of the abortion was less than 12 weeks, the time between the occurrence of the abortion and the pregnancy that culminated in preterm delivery was 6 months, and the most common complication of the abortion was septic abortion. The gestational age and birth weight of the preterm who had a maternal history of previous abortion, were mostly greater than 32 weeks and with a weight greater than 2 500 grams.   Keywords: Previous abortion, risk factor, preterm delivery.

Background: Currently preterm labour is one of the most challenging problems confronting the obstetricians and perinatologists. This unfortunate episode accounts for 50-75% of the perinatal mortality. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 210 pregnant women with preterm labour admitted in Monno Medical College Hospital, Manikganj from June 2014 to December 2015, to study the causes and outcome of preterm birth in Tertiary health centre of Manikganj. Results: Occurence of preterm birth was 13.82%; 47.14% occured between 34-37 weeks of gestation; 33.80% occured 31-33 weeks of gestation and occurred in 28-30 weeks 19.04%. About 22% patients presenting with preterm labour had a past history of abortions and 14.3% had a history of preterm delivery. Premature rupture of membranes was found to be the most common risk factor related with preterm labour in the present pregnancy. Genitourinary tract infection was the next important risk factor of preterm labour; 24.8% (86) patients had either vaginal infection (19.5%) or urinary infection (21.4%) or both. Another important risk factor identified in this study was antepartum haemorrage which was cause in 11.4 % cases. Preterm babies commonly suffered from various complications like jaundice (32.1%), respiratory distress syndrome (22.6%), asphyxia (13.5%), sepsis, hypoglycemia and coagulopathy. Conclusion: Most of the preterm births occured between 34-37 weeks of gestation. Most common risk factors of preterm births are history of abortion and preterm delivery in previous pregnancy; PROM UTI vaginal infection, PIH and APH in correct pregnancy. Newborn jaundice, RDS and birth asphyxia are the common neonatal morbidity in preterm labour. Identifying risk factors to prevent the onset of preterm labour and advanced neonatal care unit can help decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Background: Preterm birth is associated with many adverse outcomes and is defined as birth of a baby before 37 weeks of gestation. Around 15 million babies born preterm around the world with survival rates at different gestational like less 23 week, 23 weeks, 24 weeks and 25 weeks are 0%, 15%, 55% and 80% respectively. Progesterone has shown to reduce the incidence of preterm birth. Objective of the study was to find out frequency of preterm birth in patients (with previous history of preterm birth) treated with intramuscular progesterone.Methods: It was randomized controlled trial conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Unit-I, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore, Pakistan conducted from October 2017 to April 2018. It included 530 pregnant women with history of at least 1 previous preterm delivery presenting in antenatal clinic between 16-20 weeks of gestation. The lottery method was employed to segregate patients in two groups. Patients received intramuscular progesterone injection proluton depot 250 mg intramuscular weekly from 16-20 weeks till 37 weeks and other group received placebo drug.Results: Mean age was 27.52±4.57 years while the mean gestational age was 17.39±1.38 weeks. The mean gestational age at delivery was significantly higher among intramuscular group (36.14±2.23 versus 35.07±2.97 weeks; p=0.000). The frequency of preterm delivery was significantly lower in intramuscular group (24.9% versus 39.6%; p=0.000) as compared to placebo group.Conclusions: Frequency of preterm delivery was significantly lower in patients treated with intramuscular progesterone (24.9% versus 39.6%; p=0.000) irrespective of patients age, parity, BMI and number of previous preterm deliveries.

Background: Globally, it has proven that preterm birth is associated with perinatal mortality to the extent of >75%, and >50% of perinatal and long term morbidity. Oral progesterone are easy to take but are less effective because of first pass hepatic metabolism leading to variable plasma levels while intramuscular progesterone carries the risk of swelling and bruising at injection site. The aim was to find out frequency of preterm birth in patients treated with oral versus intramuscular progesterone.Methods: Randomized controlled trial conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Sir Ganga Ram hospital Lahore, Pakistan conducted from 5 October 2017 to 4 April 2018. This study involved 530 pregnant women with history of at least 1 previous preterm delivery presenting in antenatal clinic between 16-20 weeks of gestation. Group I received oral progesterone 10 mg tablet duphaston BD from 20 weeks till 37 weeks. Group II received intramuscular progesterone injection proluton depot 250 mg IM weekly from 16-20 weeks till 37 weeks.Results: The mean age of the patients was 27.52±4.57 years while the mean gestational age was 17.39±1.38 weeks. 47.5% of the patients were para 2 followed by para 3 (32.3%) and para 1 (20.2%). The mean gestational age at delivery was significantly higher among intramuscular group (36.14±2.23 versus 35.07±2.97 weeks; p=0.000). The frequency of preterm delivery was significantly lower in intramuscular group (24.9% versus 39.6%; p=0.000) as compared to oral group.Conclusions: Frequency of preterm delivery was significantly lower in patients treated with intramuscular progesterone (24.9% versus 39.6%; p=0.000) as compared to oral progesterone.

Abstract Background Household surveys remain important sources of stillbirth data, but omission and misclassification are common. Classifying adverse pregnancy outcomes as stillbirths requires accurate reporting of vital status at birth and gestational age or birthweight for every pregnancy. Further categorisation, e.g. by sex, or timing (intrapartum/antepartum) improves data to understand and prevent stillbirth. Methods We undertook a cross-sectional population-based survey of women of reproductive age in five health and demographic surveillance system sites in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau and Uganda (2017–2018). All women answered a full birth history with pregnancy loss questions (FBH+) or a full pregnancy history (FPH). A sub-sample across both groups were asked additional stillbirth questions. Questions were evaluated using descriptive measures. Using an interpretative paradigm and phenomenology methodology, focus group discussions with women exploring barriers to reporting birthweight for stillbirths were conducted. Thematic analysis was guided by an a priori codebook. Results Overall 69,176 women reported 98,483 livebirths (FBH+) and 102,873 pregnancies (FPH). Additional questions were asked for 1453 stillbirths, 1528 neonatal deaths and 12,620 surviving children born in the 5 years prior to the survey. Completeness was high (> 99%) for existing FBH+/FPH questions on signs of life at birth and gestational age (months). Discordant responses in signs of life at birth between different questions were common; nearly one-quarter classified as stillbirths on FBH+/FPH were reported born alive on additional questions. Availability of information on gestational age (weeks) (58.1%) and birthweight (13.2%) was low amongst stillbirths, and heaping was common. Most women (93.9%) were able to report the sex of their stillborn baby. Response completeness for stillbirth timing (18.3–95.1%) and estimated proportion intrapartum (15.6–90.0%) varied by question and site. Congenital malformations were reported in 3.1% stillbirths. Perceived value in weighing a stillborn baby varied and barriers to weighing at birth a nd knowing birthweight were common. Conclusions Improving stillbirth data in surveys will require investment in improving the measurement of vital status, gestational age and birthweight by healthcare providers, communication of these with women, and overcoming reporting barriers. Given the large burden and effect on families, improved data must be made available to end preventable stillbirths.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Late preterm infants (LPIs) are infants born between 34<sup>0/7</sup> and 36<sup>6/7</sup> weeks gestation. Morbidities in these infants are commonly considered a result of prematurity; however, some research has suggested immaturity may not be the sole cause of morbidities. We hypothesize that antecedents leading to late preterm birth are associated with different patterns of morbidities and that morbidities are the result of gestational age superimposed by the underlying etiologies of preterm delivery. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This is a retrospective cohort study of late preterm neonates born at a single tertiary care center. We examined neonatal morbidities including apnea of prematurity, hyperbilirubinemia, hypoglycemia, and the requirement for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the risk of each morbidity associated with 3 categorized antecedents of delivery, that is, spontaneous preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), and medically indicated birth. We calculated the predictive probability of each antecedent resulting in individual morbidity across gestational ages. <b><i>Results:</i></b> 279 LPIs were included in the study. Decreasing gestational age was associated with significantly increased risk of apnea of prematurity, hyperbilirubinemia, and requirement of CPAP. In our cohort, the risk of hypoglycemia increased with gestational age, with the greatest incidence at 36<sup>0−6</sup> weeks. There was no significant association of risk of selected morbidities and the antecedents of late preterm delivery, with or without adjustment for gestational age, multiple gestation, small for gestational age (SGA), antenatal steroids, and delivery method. <b><i>Discussion and Conclusion:</i></b> This study found no difference in morbidity risk related to 3 common antecedents of preterm birth in LPIs. Our research suggests that immaturity is the primary factor in determining adverse outcomes, intensified by factors resulting in prematurity.

AbstractWomen with complications of pregnancy such as preeclampsia and preterm birth are at risk for adverse long-term outcomes, including an increased future risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). This observational cohort study aimed to examine the risk of CKD after preterm delivery and preeclampsia in a large obstetric cohort in Germany, taking into account preexisting comorbidities, potential confounders, and the severity of CKD. Statutory claims data of the AOK Baden-Wuerttemberg were used to identify women with singleton live births between 2010 and 2017. Women with preexisting conditions including CKD, ESKD, and kidney replacement therapy (KRT) were excluded. Preterm delivery (< 37 gestational weeks) was the main exposure of interest; preeclampsia was investigated as secondary exposure. The main outcome was a newly recorded diagnosis of CKD in the claims database. Data were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard regression models. The time-dependent occurrence of CKD was analyzed for four strata, i.e., births with (i) neither an exposure of preterm delivery nor an exposure of preeclampsia, (ii) no exposure of preterm delivery but exposure of at least one preeclampsia, (iii) an exposure of at least one preterm delivery but no exposure of preeclampsia, or (iv) joint exposure of preterm delivery and preeclampsia. Risk stratification also included different CKD stages. Adjustments were made for confounding factors, such as maternal age, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia. The cohort consisted of 193,152 women with 257,481 singleton live births. Mean observation time was 5.44 years. In total, there were 16,948 preterm deliveries (6.58%) and 14,448 births with at least one prior diagnosis of preeclampsia (5.61%). With a mean age of 30.51 years, 1,821 women developed any form of CKD. Compared to women with no risk exposure, women with a history of at least one preterm delivery (HR = 1.789) and women with a history of at least one preeclampsia (HR = 1.784) had an increased risk for any subsequent CKD. The highest risk for CKD was found for women with a joint exposure of preterm delivery and preeclampsia (HR = 5.227). These effects were the same in magnitude only for the outcome of mild to moderate CKD, but strongly increased for the outcome of severe CKD (HR = 11.90). Preterm delivery and preeclampsia were identified as independent risk factors for all CKD stages. A joint exposure or preterm birth and preeclampsia was associated with an excessive maternal risk burden for CKD in the first decade after pregnancy. Since consequent follow-up policies have not been defined yet, these results will help guide long-term surveillance for early detection and prevention of kidney disease, especially for women affected by both conditions.

Background: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary condition that affects the structure of tooth enamel and causes sensitivity, predisposition to cavities, and psychological problems. In Colombia, its frequency, magnitude, distribution, and behavior are unknown, so it is necessary to carry out prevalence studies to implement preventive actions. Purpose: To determine the prevalence of AI in patients who have attended the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana clinics in Bogotá. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional observational study was carried out, whose sample included 1,394 medical records of patients who attended between January 2015 and December 2017. Results: The prevalence of AI was 0.6 %, corresponding to 8 people affected, 4 men and 4 women between the ages of 9 and 10 years. The most frequent phenotype was hypoplastic in 7 patients (87.5 %) and one person had a hypocalcified phenotype (12.5 %). Taurodontism was the most frequent anomaly in the 8 patients (100 %). Seven of the eight patients (87.5 %) had a family history of AI. All the individuals had a lower-middle socioeconomic level and came from urban areas. Conclusions: This study is the first approximation to determine the prevalence of AI in a group of the Colombian population. Although the prevalence was low, it is comparable with the findings of other studies.

Objectives: To evaluate maternal and neonatal complications and pregnancy outcomes of twin pregnancies. Methods: The cross sectional study was conducted using retrospective data on the twin pregnancies with more than 28 weeks of gestational age. The study used data over a period of five years, from March 10, 2010 to March 9, 2015 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, GMC Teaching Hospital Pokhara. Results: Of the 50 twin pregnancies, the most common maternal complication was preterm delivery (40%). Other maternal complications were anemia (36%), pregnancy induced hypertension (14%), premature rupture of membranes (14%), postpartum hemorrhage (12%) and antepartum hemorrhage (6%). Median gestational age at delivery was 37 weeks. Most common route of delivery was cesarean section (66%). Most common neonatal complication was low birth weight (48%) births first twin and second twin 56%. Conclusion: Twin pregnancy has high maternal and neonatal complications, especially preterm delivery that increases the risk of significant neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To analyze risk factor, both clinical and laboratory findings, associated with maternal mortality from severe preeclampsia and eclampsia in Atma Jaya Hospital. Methods: This was a retrospective case control study. All medical records of maternal death associated with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia between 1st January 2009 and 31st December 2011 were obtained and then information about risk factors were collected and tabulated. Risk factor analyzed were maternal age, gestational age, parity, coexisting medical illness (hypertension), antenatal examination status, maternal complications, systolic and diastolic blood pressure at admission, and admission laboratory data. Results: There were 19 maternal deaths associated with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia during period of study (Consisted of 6 cases of eclampsia and 13 cases of severe preeclampsia). Maternal mortality rate for severe preeclampsia and eclampsia were 16.7% and 33.3% respectively. Multivariate analysis identified the following risk factors associated with maternal death: gestation age <32 week, history of hypertension, thrombocyte count < 100.0000/μl, post partum bleeding, acute pulmonary edema, HELLP syndrome, and sepsis. Conclusion: In this study, we found that gestational age, history of hypertension, and platelet count are the cause of maternal mortality. Maternal complications associated with maternal mortality are post partum bleeding, acute pulmonary edema, HELLP syndrome, and sepsis.

Background: Preterm birth is an important contributor to the global burden of disease. Evidence indicating that maternal health, nutritional and socioeconomic status may contribute to preterm birth. Objective: This cross-sectional study was conducted to describe the contribution of prenatal maternal factors on low gestational age, and to assess newborns anthropometric measurements regarding gestational age. Methods: Data of mothers delivering a singleton live infant (n= 759) and their newborns (n= 755) during the two years up to August 2014 were collected. Data were collected from the data set of eight public health centers which were chosen from different administrative regions of Tabriz city and were analyzed. Differences between the groups were assessed by Student’s t-test or one- way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Multiple linear regression was used to estimate the association between gestational age and variables studied. Results: Incidence of preterm birth was 2.1%. Percentage of infants with low birth weight and Head Circumference (HC) under 34 cm was significantly higher in the preterm group. Mean gestational age was lower in mothers with cesarean delivery, high education, high economic status, high BMI, pre-pregnancy weight ≥ 65 kg and medical problem. Gestational age was inversely associated with maternal pre-pregnancy weight ≥ 65 kg (B= -0.20, p= 0.02), high BMI (B= -0.33, p= 0.01), high education (B= -0.47, p= 0.002) and cesarean delivery (B= -0.74, p< 0.001). Conclusion: The results indicate that maternal anthropometric characteristics, education and type of delivery are associated with gestational age. Explorating potentially modifiable risk factors for unfavorable gestational age and integrating them into intervention efforts may ameliorate adverse birth outcomes.
