Delayed Interval Delivery

This article describes a clinical case of vaginal delivery in nulliparous women 24 years old delayed interval delivery of the second and third fetuses in spontaneous multiple pregnancy dichorionic triamniotic triplet in a tertiary perinatal center. After preterm delivery in 27+5 weeks of gestation the first fetus to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality of two fetuses that are left in the uterus, with informed consent of the woman preterm delivery the second and third fetuses occurred at intervals of 38 days, in 33+1 weeks of gestation. Careful monitoring of the state of the mother and fetuses was conducted. To increase the interval between the birth of the first fetus and the second and the third fetuses, prevention of obstetric and perinatal complications used tocolysis, antibiotics, progesterone, the prevention of respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn by corticosteroids and bed rest. Three girls were born alive with a weight of 980, 1800 and 1950 grams correspondingly. Childbirth complicated second degree perineal laceration and retained portions of placenta and membranes, puerperal period was uneventful. After 1.5 months, all infants discharged with her mother in a satisfactory condition with a weight of more than 3000 grams. Key words: multiple pregnancy, triplet pregnancy, delayed interval delivery in triplet pregnancy, preterm delivery.

Extremely Preterm

Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Adverse effects of preterm birth have a direct correlation with the degree of prematurity, in which infants who are born extremely preterm (24–28 weeks gestation) have the worst outcomes. We sought to determine prominent risk factors for extreme PTB and whether these factors varied between various sub-populations with known risk factors such as previous PTB and multiple gestations. A population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted. Risk factors were examined in cases of extreme PTB in the general population, as well as various sub-groups: singleton and multiple gestations, women with a previous PTB, and women with indicated or induced PTB. A total of 334,415 deliveries were included, of which 1155 (0.35%) were in the extreme PTB group. Placenta previa (OR = 5.8, 95%CI 4.14–8.34, p < 0.001), multiple gestations (OR = 7.7, 95% CI 6.58–9.04, p < 0.001), and placental abruption (OR = 20.6, 95%CI 17.00–24.96, p < 0.001) were the strongest risk factors for extreme PTB. In sub-populations (multiple gestations, women with previous PTB and indicated PTBs), risk factors included placental abruption and previa, lack of prenatal care, and recurrent pregnancy loss. Singleton extreme PTB risk factors included nulliparity, lack of prenatal care, and placental abruption. Placental abruption was the strongest risk factor for extreme preterm birth in all groups, and risk factors did not differ significantly between sub-populations.

AbstractObjectivesGestational thrombocytopenia (GT) is the most common cause of thrombocytopenia during pregnancy. However, the occurrence and severity of thrombocytopenia throughout pregnancy in Chinese women are not fully defined.MethodsWe analyzed platelet counts in Chinese women who received prenatal care and/or delivered at the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University between January 2, 2018 and July 19, 2018 in China. These platelet counts were compared with those of nonpregnant women in the same study period.ResultsThe platelet counts of all women continued to decrease significantly each trimester (p < 0.0001). The mean platelet counts of the 818 women who had pregnancy-related complications were lower than those of the 796 women who had uncomplicated pregnancies during the third trimester (p = 0.047). At the time of delivery, platelet counts less than 150 × 109/L were more common in women with pregnancy-related complications than in women with uncomplicated pregnancy (26.7% vs. 19.7%, p = 0.03).ConclusionsPlatelet counts decrease throughout pregnancy in Chinese women and platelet counts less than 150 × 109/L were more common in women with pregnancy-related complications than in women with uncomplicated pregnancy. The pregnant women should be paid more attention for thrombocytopenia to avoid the occurrence of bleeding events.

Background: Antepartum haemorrhage, a life-threatening event, is defined as bleeding per vaginum occurring after the fetus has reached the period of viability, considered to be 20 weeks in developed countries and 28 weeks in countries with low resource settings. We evaluated the consequences of antepartum haemorrhage, their maternal and perinatal outcome so as to outline the proper management of patient in order to improve both maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.Methods: This one-year prospective study totaled 133 cases of APH fulfilling the inclusion criteria were studied. Data was recorded on the MS excel sheet for further analysis and processing.Results: Total 6693 deliveries were conducted out of which 133 presented as APH and incidence of APH was found out to be 1.98%. Placenta previa was most common. APH was commonly associated with multigravida and most cases were in age group of 26-30 years. Most of the PP and abruption cases were admitted at 34-37 weeks and 31-33 weeks respectively. High risk factors included previous LSCS and D and C, hypertension, multiple pregnancies and malpresentations. Most of the patients underwent preterm LSCS. Most fetal complications were due to prematurity. 58.6% patients were transfused blood. Overall perinatal mortality was 20.1% and maternal mortality was zero.Conclusions: Early diagnoses, timely referrals and transfusion facilities along with trained team of doctors with well-equipped ICU facility goes a long way in avoiding APH related maternak and fetal complications.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of the study was to determine if customized fetal growth charts developed excluding obese and underweight mothers (CC<sub>(18.5–25)</sub>) are better than customized curves (CC) at identifying pregnancies at risk of perinatal morbidity. <b><i>Material and Methods:</i></b> Data from 20,331 infants were used to construct CC and from 11,604 for CC<sub>(18.5–25)</sub>, after excluding the cases with abnormal maternal BMI. The 2 models were applied to 27,507 newborns and the perinatal outcomes were compared between large for gestational age (LGA) or small for gestational age (SGA) according to each model. Logistic regression was used to calculate the OR of outcomes by the group, with gestational age (GA) as covariable. The confidence intervals of pH were calculated by analysis of covariance. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The rate of cesarean and cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) were higher in LGA<sub>only by CC</sub><sub><sub>(18.5−25)</sub></sub> than in LGA<sub>only by CC</sub>. In SGA<sub>only by CC</sub><sub><sub>(18.5−25)</sub></sub>, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and perinatal mortality rates were higher than in SGA<sub>only by CC</sub>. Adverse outcomes rate was higher in LGA<sub>only by CC</sub><sub><sub>(18.5−25)</sub></sub> than in LGA<sub>only by CC</sub> (21.6%; OR = 1.61, [1.34–193]) vs. (13.5%; OR = 0.84, [0.66–1.07]), and in SGA <sub>only by CC</sub><sub><sub>(18.5−25)</sub></sub> than in SGA<sub>only by CC</sub> (9.6%; OR = 1.62, [1.25–2.10] vs. 6.3%; OR = 1.18, [0.85–1.66]). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The use of CC<sub>(18.5–25)</sub> allows a more accurate identification of LGA and SGA infants at risk of perinatal morbidity than conventional CC. This benefit increase and decrease, respectively, with GA.
