The aim of this study was to describe the quality of life (QOL) of women after mastectomy in two hospitals in Douala. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in two healthcare facilities over 4 months. Data from 102 consenting patients with unilateral mastectomy was collected. A survey sheet was used to collect patient socio-demographic, clinical, therapeutic data and data on QOL. We evaluated the QOL using questions from the various recognized questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-BR45, WHOQOL-BREF, FACT-MBIS and FACT-B) which we adapted according to our context. Chi-squared and Fisher tests allowed us to assess the association between variables. Statistical significance was set at p <0.05. Results: The mean age at mastectomy was 48.2 ± 10years and 54.4% were married. Clinically, patients with a tumor size more than 5cm and inflammatory tumors were most represented (76.3%); 89.1% had lymph node involvement and 16.1% were metastatic at diagnosis. Other treatments received include chemotherapy (93%), radiotherapy (32.3%) and hormone therapy (22.1%). The overall QOL was impaired. Using a mean score on a scale of 0 to 4, physical (0.3), social (0.5), and sexual (1.2) QOL were less impaired than emotional (1.5), functional (2.7), and psychological (3) QOL. Factors associated with impaired physical QOL included young age (OR:6.11[2-18.58]; p:0.00007), being single (OR:3.1 [1.2-7.7]; p:0.01), tumor size between 2 and 5cm (OR:4.97[2-12.4]; p:0.0002). Those associated with the deterioration in overall QOL included delayed diagnosis and mastectomy (OR:16.60[1.61-170.45]; p:0.008). Conclusion: The overall quality of life was impaired in all patients. Thus, patients undergoing mastectomy should benefit from preand postoperative psychological care.","PeriodicalId":74336,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69352327","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}

Single-dose prophylaxis is a very short course of an antibiotic used just before the surgery begins which helps in the improvement of aseptic and surgical procedures and reduces postoperative wound infections more effectively than multiple doses of it. Methods: This study is a single-blinded single centred randomized control trial which was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, in Shahed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital. The study period for this trial was June 13- to November 13. The sample size for this study was 136. Result: In the study group most of the respondents 54(79.4%) were aged between 20-25 years wherein in the control group most of the respondents 54(79.4%) were aged between 20-25 years. In the control group, most of the operations 45(66%) had needed <30 minutes wherein in the control group most of the operations 55(80.9%) had needed <30 minutes. In the caesarean section of the study group, 13(19.1%) were routine patients while 44(64.7%) were emergency. On the other hand, in the caesarean section of the control group 13(19.1%) were routine patients while 55(80.9%) were emergency. The grade O wound infection of the study group was 54(79.4%) whereas the control group was 53(77.9%) and followed by grade I was 11(16.2%) in both groups, grade III in the study group was 3(4.4%), grade IV in the control group was 4(5.9%). Most of the respondents of the study group 48(70.7%) had stayed between 3-5 days after the operation and wherein the control group 55(80.9%) had stayed between 3-5 days after the operation. Conclusion: Single-dose antibiotic prophylaxis is equally effective and less costly than multi-dose in uncomplicated gynecology and obstetrics cases and can be instituted in our setting.","PeriodicalId":74336,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69352446","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}

Objective: To describe the scientific evidence available regarding studies of costs associated with UI in women. Methods: Integrative review of the literature using the PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases as data sources, on studies of direct and indirect costs of UI. in women, published between 2009 and 2022. Using the search terms in Spanish and/or English: “Cost of illness”, “direct cost”, “indirect cost”, “urinary incontinence” and “woman”. The monetary values were adjusted from the date of the study to December 31,2021 and local currencies were converted to USD. Results: Of the 302 articles reviewed, 14 met the criteria for analysis. Some studies considered the estimate of the total economic burden including direct and indirect costs. The annual direct cost per capita ranges from US$ 153.71 to US$ 32,709 depending on the country, medication use and age, the indirect cost corresponds to an average 160 hours per year for presenteeism. Conclusion: In high-income countries, the economic burden for urinary incontinence is notorious, in Latin American and Caribbean countries there are no economic evaluations regarding it, to improve the benefits for women's health, it is advisable to update.

This study aimed to delineate the levels of knowledge and practice about GDM management among the nurses of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 427 nurses of three healthcare centers of Dhaka city. Data were collected by semi-structured questionnaire through face-to-face interview. All data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. Knowledge and practice scores were categorized as poor (<Mean–1SD), average (Mean±1SD) and good (>Mean+1SD) by predefined scores. Result: In this present study, mean age of the respon-Obstet dents was found 27.8 ± 5.5, and level of knowledge (both basic and technical knowledge) was found to be average where basic knowledge was 66.3% and technical knowledge was 67%. Female nurses had better basic knowledge and practice regar-ding GDM, compared to their counterparts (p=0.002). There was a significant association with the respon-dent’s gender, level of education and workplace with the basic knowledge regarding GDM management.

Results: The study was conducted among patients diagnosed with DOR according to Bologna criteria and applied to the clinic for IVF between 2017-2020. A total of 358 infertile women with follicles three and below on the hCG day, between the ages of 21 and 42, without severe male factor, without uterine anomaly, without uterine surgery, and who did not undergo PGD were included in the study. Each follicle was aspirated once in the OPU procedure, and if a follicle was retrieved, it was moved to the other follicle. If the follicle could not be retrieved, the oocyte was tried to be retrieved by flushing a maximum of 3 times. The number of oocytes retrieved, clinical pregnancy rate, and live birth rate were compared. Since all the oocytes retrieved in 143 patients were retrieved directly without the need for FF, it was named FF(-) group. Since at least one oocyte of the remaining 215 patients was retrieved by performing FF, it was named FF(+) group. Since some of the oocytes retrieved from 112 patients in the FF(+) group were retrieved with FF and some without FF, they were excluded from the study, and the remaining 103 cases formed the FF(+) group a total of 246 patients were compared. The mean number of MII oocytes ,the pregnancy rates , rates of live births and the abortion rates between two groups did not show any statistical difference. Conclusion: FF applied during oocyte retrieval in DOR did not positively affect the number of retrieved oocytes, clinical pregnancy, and live birth rates even doing this may decrease the pregnancy rate because of the probable low quality egg but we should not forget that if we did not do flushing after once we aspirated the follicle we would not be able to obtain any pregnancy at all in this patients.","PeriodicalId":74336,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69351850","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}
