Abstract Background Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by disproportionate short stature, immunodeficiency, anemia and risk of malignancies. All these features can affect pregnancy and predispose to maternal and fetal complications. This study aimed to evaluate obstetric history and maternal and fetal outcomes in women with CHH. Methods Among 47 Finnish women with CHH, we identified 14 women with ICD codes related to pregnancies, childbirth and puerperium in the National Hospital Discharge Registry and obtained detailed data on gynecologic and obstetric history with a questionnaire. Offspring birth length and weight were collected and compared with population-based normal values. Results There were altogether 42 pregnancies in 14 women (median height 124 cm, range 105–139 cm; 4′1′′, range 3′5′′–4′7′’). Twenty-six pregnancies (62%), including one twin pregnancy, led to a delivery. Miscarriages, induced abortions and ectopic pregnancies complicated 9, 5, and 2 pregnancies, respectively. Severe pregnancy-related complications were rare. All women with CHH delivered by cesarean section, mostly due to evident cephalo-pelvic disproportion, and in 25/26 cases at full-term. In the majority, the birth length (median 48 cm, range 45.5–50 cm; 1′7′′, range 1′6′′–1′8′′) and weight (3010 g, range 2100–3320 g; 6.6 lb, range 4.6–7.3 lb) of the offspring in full-term singleton pregnancies was normal. Conclusions Despite CHH mothers’ significant short stature and other potential CHH-related effects on pregnancy outcome, most pregnancies lead to a term cesarean section delivery. Since fetal growth was generally unaffected, cephalo-pelvic disproportion was evident and planned cesarean section should be contemplated in term pregnancies.

Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells take part in the early immunological response to infection. Their lower cytotoxic activity in the neonates, especially premature ones, compared to children and adults, is assumed to be one of the factors responsible for high susceptibility to infections. Moreover, alterations in every components of immune response during anesthesia and surgery have been suggested. The numbers of natural killer cells are decreased postoperatively. The aim of the study was to estimate the influence of the mode and time of delivery on the number of leukocytes, number and percentage of lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. The NK cells were examined by the three-color flow cytometry with the use of monoclonal antibodies of Becton Dickinson in the following study groups: (1) full-term neonates born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (n=19); (2) preterm neonates born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (n=15); (3) full-term neonates born by elective cesarean section under epidural anesthesia (n=23); (4) preterm neonates born by cesarean section under epidural anesthesia (n=22). The number of leukocytes was similar in all examined neonates. The numbers of leukocytes were lower albeit not significantly in preterm neonates born by cesarean section. The numbers of lymphocytes were also similar in all examined neonates but the percentage of lymphocytes was higher in the preterm neonates than in the full-term ones (p<0,05). The number and percentage of natural killer (NK) cells were higher in the neonates born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery both full-term and preterm ones. The significant lowest value of NK cells was in the preterm neonates born by cesarean section under epidural anesthesia. These results suggest that either mode of delivery or time of delivery might influence the NK cell numbers in the umbilical cord blood of the neonates.

Three Stages

Vaginal delivery refers to the birth of offspring in mammals or babies in humans, through the vagina, also known as the “birth canal”. It is the natural method of birth for most mammals excluding those which lay eggs. For women who deliver vaginally, childbirth progresses in three stages: labor, delivery of the baby and delivery of the placenta. There are two types of vaginal delivery: Unassisted vaginal delivery and assisted vaginal delivery. In the later, this assistance can vary from use of medicines to emergency delivery procedures. The following types of vaginal delivery have been noted; (a) Spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD) (b) Assisted vaginal delivery (AVD), also called instrumental vaginal delivery (c) Induced vaginal delivery and (d) Normal vaginal delivery (NVD), usually used in statistics or studies to contrast with a delivery by cesarean section. Delivery of a full-term newborn occurs at a gestational age of 37–42 weeks, usually determined by the last menstrual period or ultrasonographic dating and evaluation. Nearly 80% of newborns are delivered at full term while approximately 10% of singleton pregnancies are delivered preterm and 10% of all deliveries are post-term.

Background: Generally, there are two methods for childbirth: normal vaginal and cesarean section (C-section). Each method has advantages and complications. In this study, we investigated the effects of type of delivery on hematological parameters in healthy full-term neonates in an Iranian population, from 2016-2017. Materials: Three hundred pregnant women, along with their healthy and term babies, were studied. According to the route of delivery, the neonates were divided into two groups: vaginal (n=150) and C-section (n=150). Complete blood count (CBC) and peripheral blood smear (PBS) were performed on the neonates from umbilical cord blood immediately after birth. Data were analyzed by using SPSS v. 22 and statistical analyses were done by student's t-test and correlation tests, with P-value < 0.05 set as the lowest limit of significance. Results: We observed a significant increase in hematologic parameters, such as red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, red cell distribution width (RDW), platelets, total leukocyte count and neutrophil count, in full-term neonates who delivered vaginally compared to those delivered by cesarean section (p<0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the delivery types in terms of mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), eosinophil count, lymphocyte count, or monocyte count. Conclusion: According to our study, the mode of delivery influences the hematological parameters in full-term neonates; thrombocytopenia and anemia in neonates were associated with cesarean section delivery. Thus, we recommend that pregnant women do not deliver by C-section unless in emergency situations.

All theses features can affect pregnancy and predispose to maternal and fetal complications. This study aimed to evaluate obstetric history and maternal and fetal outcomes in women with CHH.

Offspring birth length and weight were collected and compared with population-based normal values. Results: There were altogether 42 pregnancies in 14 women (median height 124 cm, range 105-139 cm; 4'1'', range 3'5''-4'7''). Twenty-six pregnancies (62%), including one twin pregnancy, led to a delivery. Miscarriages, induced abortions and ectopic pregnancies complicated 9, 5 and 2 pregnancies, respectively. Severe pregnancy-related complications were rare. All women with CHH delivered by cesarean section, mostly due to evident cephalo-pelvic disproportion, and in 25/26 cases at full-term. In the majority, the birth length (median 48 cm, range 45.5-50 cm; 1'7'', range 1'6''-1'8'') and weight (3010 g, range 2100-3320 g; 6.6 lb, range 4.6-7.3 lb) of the offspring in full-term singelton pregnancies was normal. Conclusions: Despite CHH mothers' significant short stature and other potential CHH-related effects on pregnancy outcome, most pregnancies lead to a term cesarean section delivery. Since fetal growth was generally unaffected, cephalo-pelvic disproportion was evident and planned cesarean section should be planned in term pregnancies.
