Risk Pregnancy

Background: All pregnancies are at risk even though most of the pregnancies and childbirth worldwide are uneventful. Almost 15% of all the pregnant women can develop potentially life-threatening complications which might require skilled care with some requiring major intervention for survival. Complications can occur anytime during the course of the pregnancy and childbirth, which in turn can affect the health and the overall survival of mother and the fetus. Hence there is a need to identify those high risk pregnancy groups for whom a greater degree of care is required. This study aimed to identify the risk status among antenatal mothers thus enhancing the mother to have a clear understanding about health.  Methods: A quantitative research approach with descriptive survey design was used to assess the risk status of pregnancy among antenatal mothers. The study was conducted among 100 antenatal mothers in a selected hospital, Mangaluru. Results: The present study revealed that maximum number of antenatal mothers (33.7%) were in the age group of 25-30 years and 31-36 years.41.6% antenatal mothers had high school education,24.8% had PUC education.41.6% of antenatal mothers were from nuclear family and 40.6% belongs to second trimester. The maximum number of antenatal mothers (39.6%) belongs to second gravida.75.2% of antenatal mothers belongs to above poverty line. Analysis of the association between risk statuses of pregnancy with selected demographic variables reveals that there is significant association between risk status of pregnancy with age in years and gravida status of antenatal mothers at 0.05 level of significance. In this study 55% of antenatal mothers belong to high risk pregnancy status and remaining 45% were at low risk status. Conclusion: The study reflects that most of the pregnant women are in high risk status of pregnancy. The overall findings of the study clearly showed that there is significant level of risk status of pregnancy among antenatal mothers.

Background: ‘High-risk’ pregnancies account for a significant proportion of perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Simple prenatal scoring systems can be used to assess risk status of pregnancy and inform subsequent management. Their use in rural areas and low-resource settings could be of particular benefit. This study employed pregnancy risk status assessment in one such area of rural India. The objectives of the study were to estimate the prevalence of low, moderate and high-risk pregnancy among women in a rural area of Belagavi and to identify factors associated with high-risk pregnancy status.Methods: This community-based cross-sectional study was undertaken among 105 pregnant women of all trimesters presenting to antenatal clinics in the Kinaye area of Belagavi, Karnataka, during July 2018. Information on risk factors and socio-demographic details were collected using a questionnaire, and individual risk scores calculated through a scoring system. This was used to estimate prevalence of low, moderate and high-risk status among participants, and subsequently compared against selected variables to identify factors associated with high risk pregnancy status.Results: Prevalence of high-risk pregnancy among participants was 31.4%, moderate-risk 30.5%, low-risk 29.5% and ‘no risk’ 8.6%. Maternal undernutrition was an important factor associated with high-risk pregnancy.Conclusions: This study highlights the need for early identification and appropriate management of such cases, in order to prevent adverse perinatal outcomes. The prenatal scoring system used in this study offers a simple method for risk status assessment in pregnant women of all trimesters, suited for use in antenatal clinics in rural areas of India.

Abstract Introduction The pregnancy-puerperal cycle is defined as a moment that involves physical, psychological and social changes. There are pregnancies that require specialized care and attention due to the presence of risk factors that may be prior to pregnancy and / or that may be associated with the pregnancy condition itself, which characterize them as high-risk pregnancies. Currently, prenatal care with risk stratification is the main care strategy for pregnant women, once the risk classification is identified, it is possible to promote interventions according to the health needs of each pregnant woman. For this, the risk assessment is carried out at each prenatal consultation, so that, depending on the course of pregnancy, hospitalization becomes necessary. The diagnosis of high-risk pregnancies accompanied by hospitalization has impacts on the woman's life, such as loss of autonomy, a sense of failure and the incidence of greater care and interventions by the health team and the family that can configure practices to control their bodies. Objective This work aims to identify the hospitalization process during high-risk pregnancy as a space for the production of projects, resistance and protagonism through the protocols and regulations that configure the hospital context. Methodology This is an exploratory analysis of a qualitative approach in public health. A reference maternity hospital in high-risk pregnancy located in a teaching hospital in Greater Vitória was chosen. It will be used to define sampling for convenience. The data will be collected through semi-structured interviews and on-site observations by the researcher. The data analysis methodology used will be content analysis. Expected Results It is expected to understand the various practices of protagonism and resistance that permeate the care of hospitalized pregnant women. Key messages This work has an impact on the improvement of the maternal and child care network of the public health system in Brazil. This work allows to evaluate the quality of the assistance provided in the public maternity.

Kehamilan normal bisa memiliki risiko, semua ibu hamil  perlu perawatan agar ibu dan janin tetap dalam keadaan sehat. Sedangkan kehamilan yang resiko tinggi akan menghadapi berbagai permasalahan yang dapat mengganggu proses persalinan. Kehamilan dengan masalah dikelompokkan kehamilan risiko tinggi yaitu keadaan yang dapat mempengaruhi optimalisasi ibu maupun janin (Manuaba,2003). Kehamilan risiko tinggi adalah kehamilan dengan satu lebih  faktor risiko baik ibu maupun janinnya yang memberi dampak kurang menguntungkan baik ibu maupun janinnya (Rochjati, 2003). Apabila setiap abnormalitas dicurigai berdasarkan atas riwayat atau pemeriksaan fisik, maka pasien dirujuk ke pemeriksa dengan keahlian dalam ultrasonografi (Tucker, 2004).Di Provinsi Jawa Tengah pada tahun 2015 terdapat 619 kasus kematian ibu. Kota Semarang menduduki peringkat ke 2 setelah kabupaten Brebes dengan jumlah kematian ibu di Kota Semarang  terdapat 35 kasus. Di Puskesmas Purwoyoso pada tahun 2015 terdapat 1 kasus kematian ibu. Sedangkan jumlah ibu hamil resiko tinggi di Puskesmas Purwoyoso pada tahun 2015 terdapat 595 ibu hamil.Untuk mencari alternatif solusi pemecahan masalah di atas, maka diadakan peningkatan pengetahuan tentang pendampingan ibu hamil resiko tinggi di Puskesmas Purwoyoso dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan para kader tentang kehamilan resiko tinggi. Setelah dilakukan penyuluhan didapatkan hasil pengetahuan dan kesadaran para kader untuk melaksanakan pendampingan meningkat.Diharapkan setelah dilakukan pengabdian penulis menyarankan para kader, keluarga dan suami mendukung ibu hamil untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan di bidan ataupun di puskesmas.Kata kunci        : IBM ; Kader ; Pendampingan ibu hamil resiko tinggi IBM HIGH RISK PREGNANCY ASSISTANCE BY POSYANDU CARDER IN PURWOYOSO PUSKESMAS REGIONNormal pregnancy can have a risk, all pregnant women need care so that mother and fetus remain in good health. While high-risk pregnancies will face a variety of problems that can interfere with labor. Pregnancy with the problem grouped high-risk pregnancies is a condition that can affect the optimization of mother and fetus (Manuaba, 2003). A high-risk pregnancy is a pregnancy with one more risk factor for both mother and fetus that has an adverse impact on both the mother and the fetus (Rochjati, 2003). If any abnormality is suspected based on a history or physical examination, the patient is referred to an examiner with expertise in ultrasonography (Tucker, 2004).In Central Java Province in 2015 there were 619 cases of maternal deaths. Semarang City is ranked second after Brebes district with the number of maternal deaths in Semarang city there are 35 cases. At Puskesmas Purwoyoso in 2015 there is 1 case of maternal mortality. While the number of high risk pregnant women at Purwoyoso Puskesmas in 2015 there are 595 pregnant women.To find alternative solutions to the above solutions, there is an increased knowledge about high risk pregnant women in Purwoyoso Puskesmas in order to increase the knowledge of cadres about high risk pregnancy. After the counseling obtained the knowledge and awareness of the cadres to carry out mentoring increased.It is hoped that after the dedication of the writer suggest that cadres, family and husband support pregnant mother to conduct pregnancy examination in midwife or at puskesmasKey words             : IBM; Cadres; High risk pregnancy assistance

Objectives: 1. To know the incidence of high risk pregnancy. 2. To study the pregnancy outcome in Non-risk and High-risk antenatal mothers. Study Design: Longitudinal study. Setting: Shindolli Village of Belgaum District. Participants: All women in this village who were pregnant at the start of the study and who became pregnant during the study period. Sample Size: 125. Statistical Analysis: Percentages and Chi-square Test. Results: The incidence of High risk pregnancy was noted in 51(40.80%) pregnant women. The various risk factors noted were: primigravida 18 years, grand multipara, pre-eclampsia, bad obstetric history, severe anaemia etc. Among 125 pregnancy outcome, 69(93.24%) pregnant women in the non-risk group had good outcome compared to 34(66.67%) in the high risk group. The outcome of the pregnancy was significantly associated with presence of risk factors. Conclusion: The high-risk pregnancies are due to early marriages and child bearing at an early age. In rural areas early marriages are perpetuated by tradition, belief and family needs to reduce expenditures. A high percentage of anaemia in the pregnant women was due to the fact that, majority of them belonged to low social classes which affect their dietary intake and purchasing power adversely. Another common factor noted in rural area was grand multiparity, due to the need for male child. JMS 2014;17(1):16-19

Background. Maternal health is an important part of basic public health services in China’s medical reform. Effective management is an important guarantee of maternal health. Telemedicine has been widely used in maternal health management. Objective. This study explores the role of usual healthcare combined with telemedicine in the management of high-risk pregnancy. Methods. The study was a retrospective. Data were obtained from Hangzhou Maternity Hospital between October 2012 and September 2016, including 93465 pregnant women who were in usual high-risk pregnancy management (usual group) and 134884 pregnant women who were in telemedicine combined with usual high-risk pregnancy management (telemedicine group). The differences in high-risk scores and pregnancy outcomes between the usual and the telemedicine groups were compared. Results. The high-risk factors were analyzed, and the results showed that the first fixed high-risk factor was scar uterus and the first dynamic high-risk factor was hepatitis B. Comparing the data of two groups, the number of prenatal visits increased significantly in the telemedicine group (p value <0.05). Although the critical proportion of high-risk women was 2.13% in the usual group and 5.88% in the telemedicine group, respectively (p value <0.01), maternal mortality decreased in the telemedicine group (p value <0.05). Conclusion. The combination of telemedicine and usual healthcare can urge the pregnant women to carry out antenatal visits on time, which is one of the important factors to improve the outcome of high-risk pregnancy.

ABSTRACT Objectives Assessment of the fetal behavior in normal and high-risk pregnancy during second and third trimesters. Materials and methods The study group included 61 healthy pregnant women and 135 pregnant women with high-risk pregnancy between 24 and 38 weeks of gestation for a period of 3 years (January 2009-May 2011). After 4D ultrasound examination we applied antenatal neurological score KANET 1. Score is considered normal between 14 and 20, borderline between 6 and 13 and abnormal between 0 and 5. Results The Kurjak antenatal neurological test (KANET) scores have significant differences, when applied on the two groups of pregnant women. Most fetuses who obtained normal KANET score were found in normal pregnancies, those who obtained borderline score were fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) with increased resistance index (RI) of middle cerebral artery (ACM) and the most fetuses with abnormal KANET score came from pregnancies complicated by threatened preterm delivery with PPROM. Conclusion Dynamic evaluation of fetal behavior reflects directly the processes of maturation and development of the central nervous system. This can make the difference between normal and abnormal brain development and may be used for early diagnosis of neurological disorders that become manifest in perinatal and postnatal periods.

Summary. Purpose of research. Development of a method for prevention of placental insuffi ciency (PN) in high-risk pregnancy in women of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania (RSO-A) with the complex use of antihypoxant limontar and ozone therapy (OT). Material and methods. Observations were made of 75 pregnant residents of RSO-A with diagnosed PN, whose average age was 32,6 ± 8,14 years. Using a simple randomization method, 3 groups were formed: in the main group (OG), patients received prevention of PN by using OT and antihypoxant limontar; in the comparison group (GS), only limontar; in the control group (KG), pregnant women did not receive prevention of PN. All patients observed before and after PN prevention were examined for placental lactogen and estriol, ultrasound of the fetoplacental complex (FPC), Doppler examination of the uterine blood fl ow and ultrasound examination of the placenta structure, and morphological examination of the placenta. Results. Based on identifi ed pathogenetic mechanisms of the disorders in the system “mother — placenta — fetus” are defined by a high clinical effi cacy of combined pharmaco-ozone therapy (CT) in the prevention of PN in pregnant women at risk, which was manifested by the lack of progression of PN, whereas in GS, where patients received only pharmacotherapy with limontar, progression was noted in 31,8 % of cases, in KG, where there was no prevention, is 56 %. Conclusion. In the present study, the positive effect of OT and antihypoxant limontar on the processes of microcirculation, metabolism, and adaptation of the body, which provides a signifi cant reduction in the frequency of pregnancy complications, increasing the adaptive capabilities of the fetus and improving perinatal outcomes.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on the health sector. In Kediri, pregnant women have limited access to checking their conditions. Many high-risk pregnancies are happening, especially in the Sukorame area. It makes the family, especially the husband, should pay more attention to his wife’s pregnancy. However, husbands often have no idea about pregnancy, including how to detect early high-risk pregnancy conditions. It often leads to delays in handling this problem. This study aimed to determine the effect of using The Wellingbom 2.0 Application on husbands' ability to detect early high-risk pregnancies.Method: This study used a research and development design with a descriptive and quasi-experiment approach. The population was 100 people. Samples were 80 people using incidental sampling techniques with the inclusion criteria were husbands of pregnant women who live in the working area of Sukorame Health Center and have an android-based smartphone, also they must be able to operate it. The data that have been collected were conducted normality test and then tested using Wilcoxon match pair statistic test by SPSS 16.00. Respondents pretested and were given an application for one week, after which the posttest was done.Results: The result of the normality test showed p-values of 0.004 for pretest and  0.000 for posttest, this indicates abnormally distributed data. Further analyzed using non-parametric sample Wilcoxon 2-paired test showed p-value 0.000, which means Ha accepted. It showed a significant change in respondents' ability to perform early detection to high-risk pregnancy after using the wellingbom 2.0 application. It would be better if husbands were also being educated about high-risk pregnancies to increase their awareness of their wives’ pregnancies.
