Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from March 2021 to June 2021 during covid pandemic. All women presenting with diagnosis of septic abortions to our hospital were included in the study. The details of all the patients including their demography, clinical presentation and outcome were collected and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The incidence of septic abortion in our study was estimated to be 4.4%. Age range of the patients was between 15 to 45 years. Majority of the patients were grand multigravida, belonging to lower socioeconomic group. The main reason behind getting abortion done was unprotected intercourse. Unauthorized place and person carrying out the abortion was seen in 61% women. Most common presenting complaint was fever and the majority underwent laparotomy for uterine perforation. Maternal mortality was seen in 2 out of 13 cases i.e. ,15.4%. Conclusion: Unsafe abortion is still prevalent in developing countries. Septic abortions contribute significantly to maternal morbidity and mortality. All attempts should be made on improving access to contraceptive and safe abortion practices to curtail this menace.","PeriodicalId":93058,"journal":{"name":"Women health care and issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41932407","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}

Gonococcal PID tends to be clinically more severe than non-gonococcal ones. The main is to present two cases of gonococcal PID, with rapid clinical and analytic progression, leading to severe sepsis, but without imaging manifestations. Clinical presentation: 1. 41-year-old patient with replacement of intrauterine releasing levonorgestrel device (IUD), presented abdominal pain and green vaginal discharge. Abdominal examination revealed signs of peritoneal irritation and blood test showed leukocytosis, increased C Reactive Protein and procalcitonin, as well as coagulation abnormalities. Imaging tests (vaginal ultrasound/tomography) revealed no structural pathology, without collections. Given the criteria of severe sepsis, broadspectrum intravenous (iv) antibiotic therapy was started and laparoscopy and IUD removal were performed. Cervical and IUD cultures were positive for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. 2. 20-year-old woman, with an IUD, consulted for abdominal pain, low-grade fever and green vaginal discharge. Abdominal examination suggested peritoneal sensitivity and laboratory tests leukocytosis, increased C Reactive Protein and procalcitonin with coagulation abnormalities. Imaging tests (vaginal ultrasound/tomography) showed no structural pathology, without collections. Despite analgesia and broad-spectrum iv antibiotics, the patient worsened, proceeding to remove the IUD. Given the criteria compatible with severe sepsis, laparoscopy was decided. Endocervical and IUD cultures revealed Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Conclusions: Facing the situation of an acute PID with severe and fast clinical worsening even without findings in imaging tests, we should consider gonococcal ethiology as a possible cause. Surgical approach shouldn’t be delayed in order to control the infection and rule out other possible diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":93058,"journal":{"name":"Women health care and issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42320830","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}

The management of the cystic adnexal mass in women of reproductive age remains a common gynaecological problem. It is widely accepted that many adnexal cysts represent a persistence of an ovarian follicle or cystic corpus luteum. Aim of the work: The aim of the study is to determine the usefulness of use of progestins over expectant management in treatment of functional ovarian cyst. Methods: 90 women with ovarian cysts were recruited and divided into either control group or progesterone group. The patients were monitored after 6 to 8 weeks. Results: The percentage of 50% or more reduction in cyst width in progesterone group was 35.6% while the control group was 17.8%. The percentage of 50% or more reduction in cyst length in progesterone group was 24.4% while the control group was 15.6%. The percentage of 50% or more reduction in cyst depth in progesterone group was 24.4% while the control group was 17.8%. After testing, there no significant difference detected between both treatment modalities regarding cyst length (p = 0.097), cyst width (p = 0.385), cyst depth (p = 0.204). Cysts resolved completely in 26/45 (57.9%) and 17/45 (37.8%) in groups progesterone and control respectively, However, there was no significant difference regarding content (p = 0.059) and cyst disappearance (p = 0.058). Conclusion: Progestin therapy in functional cysts could be effectively used as expectant management at least among women who are having spontaneous ovulation.","PeriodicalId":93058,"journal":{"name":"Women health care and issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49577576","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}

This study investigates the trend of intention not to use contraceptives among married women in Nepal. Methods: The data for this study was obtained from three sequential Nepal Demographic and Health Surveys [NDHS] of 2006, 2011, and 2016. We used data from 4297, 4833, and 4677 women who were currently not using any FP methods on NDHS 2006, NDHS 2011, and NDHS 2016, respectively. Univariate, Bivariate and Multivariate analyses were made. Results: Minor fluctuation can be seen in the proportion of women who did not intend to use FP methods for ten years. Above a fourth (26%) women who were currently not using any FP methods had no intention to use FP in 2006, which decreased to 19% in 2011 and slightly increased to 23% in 2016. Overall, the significant socio-demographic predictors of intention to not use FP methods were the age of women, age at marriage, and education of women, religion, residence, and wealth index. Education was a significant predictor of intention not to use FP. Uneducated women and women with only primary education were 83 percent (aOR=1.84, CI=1.52-2.22) and 17 percent (aOR=1.17, CI=0.97-1.43), respectively, more likely not to intend to use FP than women with secondary or above education, and the relation was significant among uneducated women. Similarly, Muslim women were three times (aOR=3.28, CI=2.66-4.02) more likely to intend not to use contraceptives than Hindu women. Likewise, women residing in rural areas and belonging to richer wealth index were significantly more likely to intend not to use FP methods than their counterparts. Conclusion: Although expenditure for enabling environment has increased, nonuse intentions of FP have increased in 2016 than in the survey year 2011, highlighting the necessity of different program modality. This study elucidates the necessity of focusing the FP interventions among uneducated women, rural women, and those belonging to the Muslim religion to increase the intention to use FP in the future.","PeriodicalId":93058,"journal":{"name":"Women health care and issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43351819","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}

Patients and Methods: This study was done at Ain Shams and Al-Azhar University Maternity Hospitals during a period started from January 2019 to January 2021. Patients were followed up at the outpatient gynaecology clinics at regular schedules (3, 6 and 12 months) for one year duration. Perimenopausal patients with DUB were assigned randomly to either the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (n = 35) or endometrial resection (n = 45). Blood loss assessment charts were used to measure menstrual blood loss. Results: Total bleeding score/month decreased from a baseline median of 47.26 to 33.5 (P<0.01) for the levonorgestrel intrauterine system and from 47.13 to 33.9 (P<0.01) for transcervical resection of the endometrium. There was no statically difference in bleeding score before and during treatment between the two groups of women. Conclusion: Both treatments levonorgestrel intrauterine system and transcervical resection of the endometrium efficiently reduced menstrual bleeding. levonorgestrel intrauterine system should be considered the first-line treatment for idiopathic menorrhagia because it is easy to insert, has a sustained effect, provides contraception, may reduce the need for surgery, and is cost-effective and well tolerated.","PeriodicalId":93058,"journal":{"name":"Women health care and issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48459572","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}

Missing data can significantly affect the analysis and results might be doubtful due to bias caused by omission incomplete records during analysis especially if a dataset is small. This study aims to compare several imputation methods in terms of efficiency in filling-in missing data so as to increase prediction and classification accuracy in breast cancer dataset. Methodology: Five imputation methods namely series mean, k-nearest neighbour, hot deck, predictive mean matching, expected maximisation via bootstrapping, and multiple imputation by chained equations were applied to replace the missing values to the real breast cancer dataset. The efficiency of imputation methods was compared by using the Root Mean Square Errors and Mean Absolute Errors to obtain a suitable complete dataset. Binary logistic regression and linear discrimination classifiers were applied to the imputed dataset to compare their efficacy on classification and discrimination. Results: The evaluation of imputation methods revealed that the predictive mean matching method was better off compared to other imputation methods. In addition, the binary logistic regression and linear discriminant analyses yield almost similar values on overall classification rates, sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion: The predictive mean matching imputation showed higher accuracy in estimating and replacing missing data values in a real breast cancer dataset under the study. It is a more effective and good approach to handle missing data. We recommend replacing missing data by using predictive mean matching since it is a plausible approach toward multiple imputations for numerical variables. It improves estimation and prediction accuracy over the use complete-case analysis especially when percentage of missing data is not very small.","PeriodicalId":93058,"journal":{"name":"Women health care and issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41761545","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}
