This validation study tests external and internal pelvimetry correlations. METHODS: This single-centered retrospective study included 142 women with records of computed tomography pelvimetry. The correlations between four internal variables (obstetric conjugate, transverse diameters of inlet, midplane, and outlet) and five external variables (intertrochanteric, inter anterosuperior iliac spines, external conjugate, transverse diagonal, and prepubic) were first studied individually. Then, the correlations between each internal variable and the seven external variables were jointly evaluated after adjusting for body mass index. RESULTS: As expected, the external conjugate correlated with the obstetric conjugate ( r = .65; p < .01) but only weakly with the transverse outlet ( r = .21; p < .05). In the simple correlation analysis, the intertrochanteric measure is also correlated with the transverse inlet (TRi), midplane (TRm), and outlet (TRo; r = .542–.672). The transverse diagonal measure marginally correlated with the TRi ( r = .29; p < .01). In the multiple regression models, the intertrochanteric measure is associated with the TRi, TRm, and TRo, while the transverse diagonal is associated with the TRi ( B = .27; p = .01). The prepubic diameter was not a predictor of birth canal dimensions in either simple or multiple regression models. CONCLUSION: Our study confirms that the reduction of the birth canal in some dimensions (i.e., obstetric conjugate and transverse diameters) is predictable with external, accessible pelvic diameters (e.g., external conjugate, transverse diagonal, and intertrochanteric).","PeriodicalId":43300,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childbirth","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135241683","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 is evidence that antenatal care (ANC) is one of the most effective strategies for reducing maternal mortality in a global context. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate ANC service utilization among Somali women and the effects of general and pregnancy-related characteristics of women, healthcare facility accessibility, and the decision-making status of women on ANC services utilization. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 255 Somali women, aged 15–49 years, living in Somalia, who have been married and have a history of childbirth using a convenience sampling procedure through an online survey. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science 28 and frequency, percentage, chi-square, and Fisher’s exact test were conducted. RESULTS: About 89.9% of participants had a history of ANC utilization. The educational level of the woman (χ² = 8.901, p = .003), their working status (χ² = 5.452, p = .020), husband’s educational level (χ² = 8.539, p = .003), monthly household income (χ² = 25.870, p < .001), and distance to health facilities (χ² = 18.738, p < .001) showed statistically significant differences in the ANC service utilization among participants. CONCLUSION: Women with secondary or higher educational levels who are working, with educated husbands, have a good household income, and live near the health facility indicated a higher proportion of ANC service utilization. Thus, the study suggests that educating women, supporting the Somali households’ socioeconomic status, increasing the availability of different types of health facilities, and dispatching health workers to areas where health facilities are sparse are equally needed.","PeriodicalId":43300,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childbirth","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135240969","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}

Another potential predictor of preterm birth is the uterocervical angle, and this additional measurement may improve the risk assessment. This study aimed to predict the onset of labor in women who present with preterm labor through cervical length, uterocervical angle, and FFN. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was carried out on 90 symptomatic women at high risk of preterm labor attending the Gynecology and Obstetrics department at Fayoum University Hospital. FFN in the cervicovaginal fluid was assessed by ELISA technique. The uterocervical angle and cervical length were measured by transvaginal ultrasound. Maternal history and pregnancy data were recorded. Delivery data were subsequently collected. RESULTS: The average age was 21.79 ± 3.3 years, and the average body mass index (BMI) was 24.6 ± 5.8 kg/m 2 . The mean gestational age (GA) was 32.83 ± 2.3 weeks. Twelve women in our cohort reported previous preterm labor. The cervical length and FFN showed better sensitivity and specificity compared with the uterocervical angle in predicting preterm birth. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that preterm birth depended only on the cervical length and quantitative FFN. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of FFN and cervical length could improve preterm birth prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":43300,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childbirth","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136067703","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}
