The COVID-19 infection might increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in this population, however, to date, it has not been established whether SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to these outcomes as differing conclusions have been made by the published studies and reviews. This comprehensive review explores the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy outcomes, encompassing maternal, fetal, and neonatal health. The current literature reports higher rates of adverse maternal outcomes among pregnant women with COVID-19, this includes increased rates of cesarean section, preeclampsia, and elevated risk of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and maternal death. Fetal and neonatal outcomes are also influenced by COVID-19 infection during pregnancy. Findings suggest an elevated risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, stillbirth, and Neonatal ICU admissions among newborns of mothers with COVID-19. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as the Delta variant, raises concerns about their potential impact on more adverse outcomes compared to the wild type. Vaccination has demonstrated safety and efficacy in pregnant women, providing a potential preventive measure against COVID-19. However, the potential impact of vaccination on adverse pregnancy outcomes requires further investigation. To address current knowledge gaps, future research should also focus on long-term effects, fertility considerations, child development, and the impact of emerging variants. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":355355,"journal":{"name":"Barw Medical Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124388415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There have been recent advances in the development of targeted therapies for malignant pleural mesothelioma, including immunotherapy with pembrolizumab. This is a systematic review of the current role of pembrolizumab in the treatment of this disease. A systematic search was conducted through the databases and search engines. The eligible studies to be included were those that primarily focused on the outcomes of treating this disease with pembrolizumab, regardless of study design, line of therapy, mode of therapy, and ECOG performance status. After the initial and full-text screenings, 15 studies were reviewed. The number of cases was 454 with a mean age of 68.13 years, of which males (79.7%) were the predominant gender. Most of the cases were affected by epithelioid mesothelioma (76.7%). Pembrolizumab had been used as the first line of treatment in 62 (13.7%) cases. In 92.73% of cases, the therapy mode was pembrolizumab monotherapy. A total of 68 different adverse events were recorded. The most commonly associated adverse events were fatigue (14.8%), pruritis/rash (13.7%), and diarrhea (9.7%). Two patients died due to adverse events. The overall objective response was 17.8%, stable disease was 35.7%, progression-free survival was about 47.6% with a mean of 4.73 months, and 117 cases (25.8%) could reach treatment-related survival.
