This study had as objective to characterize the demand for care from an outpatient clinic for pregnant women at high risk. The study was ofcharacter of descriptive and exploratory with quantitative approach. The data collection was from December 2016 to January 2017, totaling 104 pregnant women of high risk were cared for in an outpatient setting of a pregnancy of high risk of a hospital in São Paulo. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistical analysis and presented in tables in the form of absolute frequency and percentage. As a result, it is possible to detect that the majority of pregnant women attended in the outpatient clinic are some of the cities of the region, are married, have up to 30 years of age, had not planned the current pregnancy, no history of diseases obstetric and fewer than half of them made more than six queries relating to the prenatal. The reasons of the high risk pregnancies present were: gestational diabetes, hypertension in pregnancy and pre-eclampsia. It is concluded that having the knowledge of the clinical features and the conditions-demographic characteristics of pregnant women in high-risk, assistshealth professionals to develop a care plan where present better resolvability and that is able to provide the prevention of disease, taking into account the reality of individual way of every pregnant woman.

The objective: to study the features of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum period, fetal status and newborns in patients with a history of chronic salpingo-оophoritis.Materials and methods. Conducted a retrospective study of 150 birth histories and neonatal development maps. All patients were divided into two groups. The main group includes 100 patients with chronic salpingo-оophoritis, for which they received anti-inflammatory treatment from 1 to 3 times before pregnancy. The control group included 50 pregnant women who did not suffer from chronic salpingo-оophoritis.Results. Our analysis of pregnancy, childbirth, fetal and neonatal status in women with chronic salpingo-оophoritis indicates that such patients have a complicated obstetric and gynecological and somatic history, which forms an unfavorable basic condition of organs and systems, imperfect adaptation to pregnancy, high risk of failure of adaptive reactions. The result is a violation of the formation and development of the mother-placenta-fetus system and, as a consequence, a high level of complications during pregnancy, childbirth and perinatal pathology.Conclusion. Patients suffering from chronic salpingo-oophoritis should be considered at high risk of possible complications during pregnancy and childbirth. This category of women needs quality preconception training and careful monitoring during pregnancy.

Background To evaluate the history of some obstetrical records of pregnant women who were referred for fetal echocardiography for any reason. Methods This was a retrospective study on 1772 documents of referred pregnant women, which was conducted in Narges diagnostic clinic staff (Ahvaz city, Iran) from 2017-2020. In this study, all document data of pregnant women who referred for fetal echocardiography for any reason have been reviewed. Results Our study showed that there is a significant relationship between abnormal fetal echocardiography with history of miscarriage, stillbirth and a previous child with Down syndrome. Conclusion Although our study showed that abnormal fetal echocardiography was associated with stillbirth, miscarriage, and a history of having a previous child with Down syndrome, but many cases had abnormal echocardiography didn't have a history of having a previous child with CHD, increased NT and high-risk aneuploidy screening test.

Introduction: The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is a coronary heart disease (CHD) risk model established using an ethnically homogeneous population that predicts 10-year hard CHD events, myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary death. The Reynolds Risk Score (RRS) and Global Vascular Risk Score (GVRS) are validated CHD risk models that, in addition to hard CHD events, predict stroke and other CHD outcomes. In addition to major CHD risk factors, RRS adds systemic inflammation and family history of MI as GVRS adds behavioral and anthropometric measures. This study aims to compare agreement of RRS and GVRS with FRS among Hispanic/Latino adults and to describe discordance in RRS and GVRS with FRS categories, by socio-demographic characteristics. Methods: HCHS/SOL is a population-based cohort study of Hispanics/Latinos in four US communities. The analytic sample includes 6,058 non-diabetic participants 45-74 years of age with no past history of CHD and stroke who underwent comprehensive baseline examination. 10-year hard CHD risk score was calculated; participants were categorized as low (<10%), moderate (10-<20%), and high (≥20%) risk. Kappa scores were calculated to compare agreement of RRS and GVRS with FRS. Socio-demographic characteristics of concordance and discordance were characterized overall; multinomial logistic regression models was used to examine age-sex-adjusted likelihood of in discordance by these factors. Results: Mean age of the participants was 55 (SE=0.15) years, 54.3% were women, 41% had family history of CHD, and 90% were foreign born. Overall, 4,805 (74%) had low FRS, 1,143 (24%) had moderate FRS, and 110 (2%) had high FRS. There was poor agreement between RRS and FRS (Kappa=0.16, P<0.01) and fair agreement between GVRS and FRS (Kappa=0.36, P<0.01). In age-sex-adjusted analyses, RRS and GVRS were both more likely to classify persons of moderate and high risk who are between the ages of 60-74; GVRS classified more moderate and high risk women than the FRS. RRS and GVRS discordance with FRS was not associated with nativity and length of time in US. Conclusion: Significant discordance was observed between RRS and GVRS compared to FRS. Among Hispanic/Latino adults, use of RRS or GVRS may be more inclusive in classifying older age adults and women at high 10-year CHD risk.

Introduction. The glucose intolerance later gestational diabetes is a very important indicator that helps establish the prognosis of diabetes in pregnant women who have had gestational diabetes (1). In this study we followed for one year to all gestational diabetes who were treated at the Hospital of Fuerteventura in endocrinology consultation,Canary Island, Spain. The aim was to study what factors might be related to glucose intolerance in the immediate postpartum.Materials and methods. All pregnant women served with the diagnosis of gestational diabetes during April 2012 to May 2013, diagnosed according to the criteria of the ADA (2), were subjected to routine procedure of specialized gynecology and endocrinology unit, first: test loading test with 50 grams of glucose, and if blood glucose was greater whom 140 mgdl,SOG was performed with 100 grams glucose three hours. All these patients were followed up with a minimum of a monthly review by both gynecology and endocrinology as was given a standard diet and as controls if necessary insulin treatment. In addition glycemia in the first quarter, glycated hemoglobin in the second and third quarter was measured, if there was family history of diabetes, as well as history of previous gestational diabetes, presence of other diseases, hypertension in pregnancy, if they had done treatment with diet or insulin. Finally, it determines if the birth was eutocic or dystocia. All the analyzes were performed in the Hospital Fuerteventura laboratory by standard autoanalyzer. SPSS v.24 program for frequency valuations and statistical analyzes. Was measured frequencies, all dependent and independent variables and logistic regression analysis, ANOVA and linear correlation with statistical significance of ≤0.05 was performed.Results. Of the 60 diabetic gestational included in the study, 49 completed the assessment of oral glucose tolerance test at 0 and 120 minutes, 81'7%, of these 57.1% were normal, 41.8% had glucose intolerance which were 26.5% impaired fasting glucose and 14’3 were intolerant, 2.5 were diabetic. In these patients: 57.6 percent had a normal vaginal delivery and 39.0% were dystocia. When we analyze all the variables according to the diagnosis of glucose intolerance, just correlated test 50 grams of glucose, ANOVA (p <0.033) with degrees of impaired glucose tolerance and there was a correlation positive linear between higher blood glucose value post 50 grams of glucose and glucose intolerance in the immediate postpartum. When we analyze dystocia, there was no correlation with any of the studied variables.Discussion. Interestingly in this study it is among correlation values loading test with 50g glucose and the presence of glucose intolerance and diabetes immediately after birth of gestational diabetes. It is known that after 50 grams of glucose greater than 200 glucose has an almost certain chance of having gestational diabetes (2) and according to some centers especially in the United States is not necessary to make a confirmatory SOG (2), however, their relationship to the immediate postpartum, it has not been seen in another study that we know until now and therefore part of their predictive value for gestational diabetes, could already give us an indication of glycemic alteration itself will happen in the immediate postpartum (3). Compared with other studies, the prevalence of glucose intolerance is similar to other high-risk populations, such as the Indian population (4), which gives the Canarian population at high risk of developing diabetes in the future. This study shows that the overload test with 50 grams of glucose is not only indicative of a very high suspicion of gestational diabetes, but can also help establish the prognosis of a future change in glucose metabolism in gestational diabetes.

Abstract Background: Pregnant women with a history of preterm birth are at risk for recurrence, often requiring frequent prenatal visits for close monitoring and/or preventive therapies. Employment demands can limit uptake and adherence to recommended monitoring and preterm birth prevention therapies. Method: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study using in-depth interviews (IDIs) of pregnant women with a history of preterm birth. IDIs were conducted by trained qualitative interviewers following a semi-structured interview guide focused on uncovering barriers and facilitators to initiation of prenatal care, including relevant employment experiences, and soliciting potential interventions to improve prompt prenatal care initiation. The IDIs were analyzed via applied thematic analysis. Results: We described the interview findings that address women’s employment experiences. The current analysis includes 27 women who are majority self-described as non-Hispanic Black (74%) and publically insured (70%). Participants were employed in a range of professions; food services, childcare and retail were the most common occupations. Participants described multiple ways that being pregnant impacted their earning potential, ranging from voluntary work-hour reduction, involuntary duty hour reductions by employers, truncated promotions, and termination of employment. Participants also shared varying experiences with workplace accommodations to their work environment and job duties based on their pregnancy. Some of these accommodations were initiated by a collaborative employee/employer discussion, others were initiated by the employer’s perception of safe working conditions in pregnancy, and some accommodations were based on medical recommendations. Participants described supportive and unsupportive employer reactions to requests for accommodations. Conclusions: Our findings provide novel insights into women’s experiences balancing a pregnancy at increased risk for preterm birth with employment obligations. While many women reported positive experiences, the most striking insights came from women who described negative situations that ranged from challenging to potentially unlawful. Many of the findings suggest profound misunderstandings likely exist at the patient, employer and clinical provider level about the laws surrounding employment in pregnancy, safe employment responsibilities during pregnancy, and the range of creative accommodations that often allow for continued workplace productivity even during high risk pregnancy.

This review is devoted to etiology and diagnostics post-term and prolonged pregnancy. We analyzed the results of studies aimed at the study of diagnostic, pregnancy and complications in childbirth in pregnant women at high risk for post-term pregnancy. When evaluating methods of prenatal training in prolonged and post-term pregnancy most studies showed greatest efficacy in the preparation of the cervix, and the lowest frequency of complications in childbirth when using antigestagens in comparison with other methods of preparing the cervix for childbirth. Despite the long history of the study of this problem, many questions concerning post-term pregnancy, are not fully studied and actual to this day.

Introduction: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is characterized by new-onset hypertension and proteinuria. Damage of podocyte cells has been reported in pre-eclamptic women, thus podocyte specific proteins such as nephrin and podocalyxin could be useful biomarkers in PE. Aim: To investigate the role of urinary nephrin (u-nephrin) and urinary podocalyxin (u-PDX) levels in predicting PE in women with a high-risk pregnancy. Materials and methods: We included 101 pregnant women in this study and allocated them into three groups: group 1 included pregnant women at high risk of developing PE (n=41), group 2 - pregnant women with PE (n=30), and group 3 was the controls including healthy pregnant women (n=30). The inclusion criteria for women with PE were de novo hypertension >140/90 mm Hg, proteinuria >300 mg/24 hours, and presence of edema after 20 weeks of gestation, while the exclusion criteria were a history of renal diseases and pregnant women younger than 18. Inclusion criteria for the group of women with a high-risk pregnancy was gestational week >15, a history of PE in a previous pregnancy, pre-existing diabetes type 1 or 2, pre-existing hypertension, multiple gestations, prior placental abruption, obesity women, nulliparity, maternal age >35 years, and a family history of PE. The study was conducted from March 2016 to May 2017 in the Medical Faculty at the Institute of Medical and Experimental Biochemistry in Skopje. Urine samples were used to measure the nephrin and podocalyxin levels using immunoenzyme assay, creatinine and microalbumin. Blood samples were collected for biochemical analyses. Results: U-nephrin levels were elevated in 96.7% of women with PE, and 73% of women with a high-risk pregnancy. U-PDX levels were elevated in 63% of the women with PE and 100% of the women with a high-risk pregnancy. U-nephrin and u-PDX levels were significantly increased in women with a high-risk pregnancy and women with PE compared with a control group (p<0.001). A significant difference was found between the subgroups of pregnant women classified according to gestational age in their u-nephrin and u-PDX levels. There was a significant positive correlation between the levels of both markers and glomerular filtration rate, and significant negative correlation between the levels of both markers and gestational age. ROC analysis revealed that the cut-off value of 304.6 ng/ml of u-nephrin had a sensitivity (Se) of 96.7%, specificity (Sp) of 96.7% (for both Se and Sp 95% confidence interval (CI) 82.8-99.9), while the cut-off value of 59.5 ng/ml of u-PDX had a sensitivity of 100% and Sp of 93.3% (Se - 95% CI 88.4-100, Sp - 95% CI 77.9-99.2), in distinguishing women with PE and healthy pregnancies. Both markers showed excellent clinical utility (CUI&ge;0.81), for u-nephrin (CUI+ and CUI&minus; is 0.934), for u-PDX (CUI+ is 0.938; CUI&minus; is 0.933). Conclusions: U-nephrin and U-PDX levels could be useful as predictors of PE in women with a high-risk pregnancy.
