STUDY DESIGN: Between January 2014 and December 2019, a total of 57,049 births were performed in our hospital. The study included a total of 6,021 patients aged 19 years or younger pregnancy who gave birth at our hospital. Of this number, 5,164 (1,792 Syrian adolescent refugee cases and 3,372 local adolescent Turkish cases) were live singleton pregnancies. Our primary aim was to compare the maternal and obstetric outcomes between the two groups. RESULTS: In the pregnant refugee women, the maternal age was younger (p<0.001). Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are significantly lower in Syrian pregnant women (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Anemia was significantly higher in Syrian refugee pregnant women (p<0.001). The double screening test and triple screening test were significantly lower in Syrian pregnant women (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Preterm birth rates and late preterm delivery prevalence (34-37 gestational weeks) were significantly higher in the adolescent Syrian immigrants' compared to the adolescent Turkish locals (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The average birth weight of the Syrian refugees was lower but the number of low birth weight babies was higher Turkish locals (p=0.010 and p=0.014, respectively). The preterm birth ratio and low birth weight ratio in Syrian adolescents has decreased over the years. CONCLUSION: Syrian adolescent refugees are particularly at risk of early pregnancy, high fertility rate, preterm birth, low birth weight, and anemia. Immigrant women should be provided with fertility, family planning, and training on behavior that protects reproductive health. Syrian pregnant women should be supported to receive services.","PeriodicalId":93778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gynecology, clinical obstetrics and reproductive medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89361316","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}

STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study including 1516 women who delivered a singleton pregnancy at GATA Haydarpasa Education Hospital from 2006 to 2009. Patients with multiple pregnancies, chromosome aberrations, or fetal anomalies were excluded. Extreme values of correctedpregnancy-associated plasma protein-A and free β-hCG, and their association with adverse pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: Adverse pregnancy outcomes at the cutoff level of ≤0.25 c-pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A MOM values positive likelihood ratio (+LR) was 7.5 (95%CI 2.426-19.836) and had a significant correlation (r=0.108, p<0.01).

Pregnant women, being a vulnerable group, are grossly affected by these changing environmental scenarios. The spread of Corona Virus infection itself and the subsequent nation-wide lockdown in India, just like many other countries, has caused a serious impact on antenatal patients. The objective of this study was to bring out the specific concerns of pregnant women during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and also to assess the prevalence of Depression and Anxiety Disorder owing to the pandemic. STUDY DESIGN: This cross-sectional survey among antenatal patients was conducted in the outpatient department of a tertiary care obstetric center which is also a designated COVID hospital. Prevalidated questionnaires, Personal Health Questionnaire-9 & Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire-7 were used for data collection. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to evaluate pregnancy-specific concerns of the patients with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of moderate to severe depression in the survey was found to be 13.2% (n=66). The prevalence of moderate to severe anxiety disorder was found to be 9.8% (n=49).

STUDY DESIGN: In this retrospective cohort study, 722 pregnant women giving birth between 2018-2019 were screened from our hospital database. First, they were divided into four groups according to their prepregnancy body mass index (low-weight/normal-weight/overweight/obese), and then they were redivided into three groups according to pregnancy weight gain (≤7/8-15/≥16 kg). Prenatal body mass index and pregnancy weight gain were compared concerning maternal-neonatal results and mode of delivery. RESULTS: According to pre-pregnancy body mass index, among the obese pregnant group, gestational diabetes mellitus (p<0.001), preeclampsia (p=0.029), preterm delivery (p=0.011) and cesarean delivery (p=0.061) rates were more common. As the body mass index increases, neonatal intensive care requirement (p=0.0020) and low 1st minute APGAR scores (p=0.019) were detected more frequently. However, as pregnancy weight gain decreased, preterm delivery (p=0.041) increased. Also, birth weight increased (p<0.001) with the weight gain of the pregnant. Pregnant women gaining more than 16 kg were associated either with a lower <2500 g or a higher birth weight risk >4000 g. CONCLUSION: Pre-pregnancy high body mass index is associated with negative obstetric outcomes like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, and increased cesarean rates, and poor fetal incidences with a low APGAR score and high neonatal intensive care admission rates.","PeriodicalId":93778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gynecology, clinical obstetrics and reproductive medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85376979","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 aimed to know the magnitude of abortion complications and to define the care sought by rural tribal women. STUDY DESIGN: Rural community-based cross-sectional study was carried out in villages near Sewagram Wardha and Melghat, Amravati, Maharashtra, India. RESULTS: Spontaneous abortions rate was 3.30% in villages around Sewagram and 0.32% in villages of Melghat. The reported complications rate for induced abortions was 1% in Sewagram villages and 0.1%in Melghat villages. In Sewagram villages, among 24 (4.3%) women who had complications with spontaneous abortions, the reported complications were: vaginal bleeding in 33.3% (1.4% of all spontaneous abortions), abdominal pain in 33.3%, weakness in 29.16% (1.2% all spontaneous abortions), backache in16.6% (0.7%of spontaneous abortions), fever in 12.5%(0.5% of spontaneous abortions), excessive vaginal discharge in 8.33% (0.3% of spontaneous abortions), and other complications in 8.33% (0.36% of spontaneous abortions) women. Among 7 women (3.9% of all 177), who reported complications after induced abortions, 57.1% (2.2% of all induced abortions) reported, vaginal bleeding and 28.5% (1.1% of induced abortions) reported abdominal pain. In Melghat villages only 4 women reported complications with spontaneous abortions (0.32% spontaneous abortions): two (0.16% spontaneous abortions) reported abdominal pain, one (0.08% spontaneous abortions) reported vaginal bleeding, and one (0.08% of spontaneous abortions) reported backache. In villages of Melghat 2 women (3.7%) out of 27 induced abortions cases had complications: one had vaginal bleeding, discharge, pain, weakness, another only vaginal bleeding. In villages of Melghat 2 of the total 6 sought health facility care, however, no one reported to specialists despite complications. Nevertheless, there was neither abortion-related mortality nor near-miss morbidity or severe morbidity during the same duration.
