Iron deficiency with (IDA) or without anemia (IDWA) represents a global health issue. The present paper aims to evaluate several skills concerning the prevention of IDWA and the appropriate management of IDA, in pregnancy and in the post-partum, testing a heterogeneous group of Italian obstetricians. Materials and Methods. On April 2022, a group of obstetricians of Lazio region (GOAL Working Group) promoted an online survey among its members based on 27 questions dealing with IDA and IDWA in pregnancy and in the post-partum; aspects related to the Patient Blood Management (PBM) have also been investigated. Results. About 30% of the GOAL members answered the questionnaire. The prevalence of IDWA is thought to be around 41%, leading to a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. 54.1% of responders evaluate iron storage at the first visit in pregnancy thus proposing a diet rich in iron to all women they follow (67.2%). Although iron administration is more often needed to correct hemoglobin levels before starting labour, the prevalence of blood transfusion in the post-partum is thought to be around 2-5% (50.8%). Only the half of responders knows the PBM approach. Conclusions. It is desired to define how clinicians who care for pregnants perceive, frame and treat IDA and IDWA, which are too often not promptly diagnosed and managed, in order to improve antenatal care.","PeriodicalId":35717,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85594628","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}

To evaluate the role of Pentraxin 3 level in PCOS-related infertility and its correlation with the disease's hormonal profile. Patients and Methods. A case-control study involves a total of 90 women for one year, 30 women diagnosed with PCOS who are fertile, 30 women diagnosed with PCOS who are infertile, and 30 healthy controls, all women in the early follicular phase were sent for baseline investigations: FSH, LH, AMH, Fasting blood sugar, Insulin, Testosterone, TSH, and Pentraxin 3 that were measured by sandwich electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Results. There were statistically significant variations in LH, LH/FSH ratio, Testosterone levels, and AMH across the groups. The mean of Pentraxin for the fertile PCOS group (4.14 ± 1.97) ng/mL was significantly higher than for the infertile PCOS group (1.39 ± 1.10 ng/Ml) and control (1.99 ± 1.66 ng/mL). For the infertile PCOS group, the correlation of Pentraxin was significantly positive with age and negative with AMH. ROC Curve analysis showed a cutoff value of 1.05 ng/ml with a sensitivity of 46.67% and specificity of 83.33% for the infertile group. Conclusions.

The definitive association between adverse obstetrical events and pelvic endometriosis is still under evaluation. We report a severe case of spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) due to a rupture of the uterine vessels related to decidualized endometriosis. Case presentation. A 38-year-old primigravida woman at 33 weeks of pregnancy with an uncomplicated pregnancy and a history of endometriosis was admitted to the emergency room of our Institution, due to a spontaneous rupture of the right uterine vessels. An alive and vital baby was delivered by hysterotomy. In order to achieve hemostasis, a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy was performed. Conclusions. In case of spontaneous rupture of uterine vessels and resulting hemoperitoneum, prompt diagnosis and treatment are the crucial points in order to minimize maternal and fetal/neonatal complications.
