Introduction: Maternal and perinatal mortality is still a major public health challenge in Tanzania, despite the ongoing government efforts to improve maternal and newborn care. Among the contributors to these problems is the high magnitude of severe maternal outcomes (maternal near-miss). The current study, therefore, aimed to identify the magnitude and predictors of maternal and perinatal mortality among women with severe maternal outcomes admitted to Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2015 to January 2016 at Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital in Dodoma City. All maternal deaths and maternal near-misses based on WHO criteria were included in this study. Three outcome variables have been identified: maternal mortality, perinatal mortality, and neonatal complications. To examine the predictors for the three predetermined outcome variables, the three logit models each containing unadjusted and adjusted findings were fitted. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered indicative of statistically significant.

Results: A total of 3600 pregnant women were admitted for obstetric reasons during the mentioned period. 140 of them were diagnosed with severe maternal outcomes; hence, they were included in this study. The severe maternal outcome incidence ratio was 40.23 per 1000 live births, the institutional maternal mortality ratio was 459.77 per 100000 live births, and the perinatal mortality rate was 10.83 per 1000 total births. Most of the maternal morbidity and mortality were due to direct causes in which postpartum hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders were the leading causes. In adjusted analysis, per-protocol management, maternal age, and mode of birth were predictors of maternal mortality, perinatal mortality, and neonatal complications, respectively.

Conclusion: Establishing and strengthening obstetric ICUs will help reduce maternal mortality as the response time from the onset of obstetric complications, while the provision of high-quality care will be substantially reduced. Furthermore, the study recommends regular provision of in-service refresher training to emphasize the practice and compliance of per-protocol case management through a team approach in order to reduce the burden of maternal and perinatal mortality in Tanzania.

导言:在坦桑尼亚,尽管政府正在努力改善孕产妇和新生儿护理,但孕产妇和围产期死亡率仍然是一个重大的公共卫生挑战。造成这些问题的原因之一是严重的产妇结局(产妇未遂)。因此,目前的研究旨在确定Dodoma地区转诊医院收治的孕产妇严重结局妇女的孕产妇和围产期死亡率的幅度和预测因素。方法:2015年10月至2016年1月在Dodoma市Dodoma地区转诊医院进行回顾性横断面研究。基于世卫组织标准的所有孕产妇死亡和孕产妇未遂死亡均纳入本研究。已经确定了三个结果变量:孕产妇死亡率、围产期死亡率和新生儿并发症。为了检验三个预定结果变量的预测因子,拟合了三个logit模型,每个模型都包含未调整和调整的结果。p值小于0.05被认为具有统计学意义。结果:在此期间因产科原因住院的孕妇共3600例。其中140人被诊断患有严重的产妇结局;因此,他们被纳入本研究。严重孕产妇结局发生率为每1000例活产40.23例,机构孕产妇死亡率为每10万例活产459.77例,围产期死亡率为每1000例活产10.83例。大多数产妇的发病和死亡是直接原因,其中产后出血和高血压疾病是主要原因。在调整分析中,按方案管理、产妇年龄和出生方式分别是产妇死亡率、围产期死亡率和新生儿并发症的预测因子。结论:建立和加强产科icu将有助于降低孕产妇死亡率,因为从产科并发症开始的反应时间将大大缩短,同时提供高质量的护理将大大减少。此外,研究报告还建议定期提供在职进修培训,强调通过小组方式实行和遵守按协议进行的病例管理,以减轻坦桑尼亚孕产妇和围产期死亡率的负担。

Methods: We identified that 308 women who had undergone surgical repair of POP were followed up for at least 6 months. Recurrence rates of POP after tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM) surgery (n = 243), native tissue repair (NTR) (vaginal hysterectomy with colpopexy, anterior and posterior colpoplasty, or circumferential suturing of the levator ani muscles and apical repair by transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF)) (NTR; n = 31), and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy after subtotal hysterectomy (LSC; n = 34) were compared. Presence of mesh erosion was also recorded.

Results: Patients who underwent LSC were significantly younger (65.32 ± 3.23 years) than those who underwent TVM surgery (69.61 ± 8.31 years). After TVM surgery, the rate of recurrence (over POP-Q stage II) was 6.17% (15/243) and was highest in patients with advanced POP. The recurrence rate in patients who underwent NTR procedure was 3.23% (1/34) and that in patients who underwent LSC was 11.76% (4/11). There was no statistically significant difference in the recurrence rate between the three types of surgery. There were 13 cases (5.35%) of mesh erosion after TVM surgery and none after LSC surgery. The risk of mesh erosion was correlated with having had total TVM surgery but not with patient age or POP stage. Repeat procedures were performed in 5 women (2.14%) who underwent TVM surgery and 1 (2.94%) who underwent LSC. No patient underwent repeat surgery after NTR. There was no statistically significant difference in the reoperation rate between the three types of surgery.

Conclusion: Our study suggested that TVM surgery, NTR, and LSC have comparable outcomes as for the postoperative recurrence rate and mesh erosion. However, the outcomes of each technique need to be carefully evaluated over a long period of time.

方法:我们对308例行POP手术修复的女性进行了至少6个月的随访。无张力阴道补片(TVM)手术(n = 243)、自然组织修复(NTR)(阴道子宫切除术合并阴道固定术、阴道前后成形术或提肛肌环缝合及经阴道骶棘韧带固定(SSLF)根尖修复)后POP的复发率(NTR;n = 31),子宫次全切除术(LSC;N = 34)进行比较。还记录了网格侵蚀的存在。结果:LSC组患者(65.32±3.23岁)明显低于TVM组(69.61±8.31岁)。TVM术后复发率(超过POP- q期)为6.17%(15/243),以晚期POP患者最高。NTR术后复发率为3.23% (1/34),LSC术后复发率为11.76%(4/11)。三种手术方式的复发率差异无统计学意义。TVM术后补片糜烂13例(5.35%),LSC术后无补片糜烂。补片糜烂的风险与全TVM手术相关,但与患者年龄或POP分期无关。接受TVM手术的5例(2.14%)和接受LSC手术的1例(2.94%)进行了重复手术。NTR后无患者再次手术。三种手术方式的再手术率差异无统计学意义。结论:我们的研究表明TVM手术、NTR和LSC在术后复发率和补片糜烂方面具有相当的结果。然而,每种技术的效果都需要经过长时间的仔细评估。

Background: Postoperative peritoneal adhesions (PPA) are a serious problem for abdominal surgery. An effective remedy has not been found yet. New formulation of glycerol and sodium pentaborate may be able to solve the problem.

Method: Female Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned into four equal groups. The adhesion model was created on the caecum anterior wall and covered with 2 ml 0.9% NaCl, 3% glycerol, 3% sodium pentaborate, and 3% glycerol plus 3% sodium pentaborate solutions in the groups, respectively. Two weeks later, the rats were sacrificed. PPA were graded macroscopically and microscopically.

Results: Total adhesion scores of the 3% glycerol + 3% sodium pentaborate group were statistically different from the other groups for macroscopic and also microscopic evaluations (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: 3% glycerol plus 3% sodium pentaborate as a new formulation has preventive effects on PPA with a synergistic mechanism.

背景:腹膜术后粘连(PPA)是腹膜外科手术的一个严重问题。目前还没有找到有效的补救办法。甘油和五硼酸钠的新配方也许能解决这个问题。方法:将雌性Wistar白化大鼠随机分为4组。在盲肠前壁建立粘连模型,各组分别用2 ml 0.9% NaCl、3%甘油、3%五硼酸钠、3%甘油+ 3%五硼酸钠溶液覆盖。两周后,这些老鼠被处死。对PPA进行宏观和微观分级。结果:3%甘油+ 3%五硼酸钠组的总黏附评分与其他组在宏观和微观评价上均有统计学差异(p < 0.001)。结论:3%甘油加3%五硼酸钠新剂型对PPA具有协同预防作用。

Background: The incidence of teenage pregnancy is increasing in the world. It is a high-risk condition leading to adverse perinatal and obstetric outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the obstetric and perinatal outcomes of teenage pregnancy in Indonesian population.

Method: A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate obstetric and perinatal outcomes among teenagers and average maternal age (AMA) women. We assessed all singleton live pregnancies during the year period of 2013 in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Results: We studied 1,676 eligible subjects during the one-year period in our centre. The prevalence of teenage pregnancy (12 to 19 years old) was 11.40% (191/1676). We found higher prevalence of eclampsia (AOR: 4.03; 95% CI: 1.73-9.39), preterm delivery (AOR: 1.5; 95% CI: 0.88-2.53), anaemia at labour (AOR: 2.42; 95% CI: 1.60-3.67), postpartum haemorrhage (AOR: 2.59; 95% CI: 0.86-7.37), and low birth weight (AOR: 2.28; 95% CI: 1.60-3.25) among teenagers. However, caesarean section was found to be significantly lower among teenage pregnancies.

Conclusion: Teenage pregnancy carries significant obstetric complications that should draw physicians' serious attention. A holistic, comprehensive antenatal, and preventive program should be conducted to prevent teenage pregnancy-related adverse outcomes.

背景:世界范围内少女怀孕的发生率呈上升趋势。这是一种导致不良围产期和产科结果的高风险病症。本研究旨在评估印度尼西亚人口中少女怀孕的产科和围产期结局。方法:回顾性研究评估青少年和平均产妇年龄(AMA)妇女的产科和围产期结局。我们评估了2013年期间印度尼西亚雅加达Cipto Mangunkusumo博士国立综合医院的所有单胎活产妊娠。结果:在我们中心为期一年的时间里,我们研究了1,676名符合条件的受试者。12 ~ 19岁少女怀孕率为11.40%(191/1676)。我们发现子痫的患病率更高(AOR: 4.03;95% CI: 1.73-9.39),早产(AOR: 1.5;95% CI: 0.88-2.53),分娩时贫血(AOR: 2.42;95% CI: 1.60-3.67),产后出血(AOR: 2.59;95% CI: 0.86-7.37)和低出生体重(AOR: 2.28;95% CI: 1.60-3.25)。然而,发现剖腹产在少女怀孕中的比例明显较低。结论:少女怀孕有严重的产科并发症,应引起医生的高度重视。一个整体的,全面的产前和预防方案应该进行,以防止少女怀孕相关的不良后果。

Background: One-third to two-thirds of operated patients in low-income countries acquire surgical site infection, which is nine times higher when compared to high-resource countries. Identifying the incidence and risk factors that contribute to surgical site infection following cesarean delivery is a step ahead for preventing and reducing the problem. Nonetheless, the distribution of the problem in Addis Ababa, where the rate of cesarean delivery is relatively high compared to other parts of the country, is under investigation.

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the incidence of surgical site infection among cesarean deliveries and factors associated with it in selected governmental hospitals found in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2019.

Method: A hospital-based prospective cohort study design was employed to follow 175 women, who gave birth by cesarean delivery in selected government hospitals in Addis Ababa, from March 11 to April 9, 2019. Convenience sampling method was used to select study units from the randomly selected hospitals. Descriptive statistics were run for determining the rate of cesarean delivery surgical site infection. Presence and degree of association between outcome and independent variables were computed through bivariate logistic regression analysis and factors that had p < 0.2 significance level in the bivariate logistic regression analysis were considered in the multivariable logistic regression analysis.

Result: From 166 participants who completed 30-day follow-up, 25 (15%) of the participants developed surgical site infection. Age, gestational age, duration of operation, and ≥5 vaginal examinations showed a significant association with the outcome variable with AOR (95% CI) of ((AOR = 1.504, 95% CI: (1.170 - 1.933, p < 0.2 significance level in the bivariate logistic regression analysis were considered in the multivariable logistic regression analysis. p < 0.2 significance level in the bivariate logistic regression analysis were considered in the multivariable logistic regression analysis. p < 0.2 significance level in the bivariate logistic regression analysis were considered in the multivariable logistic regression analysis. p < 0.2 significance level in the bivariate logistic regression analysis were considered in the multivariable logistic regression analysis. Conclusion and recommendation. Surgical site infection rate is higher and certain associations lost due to small sample size. Further interventional studies with vast sample size are recommended.

背景:低收入国家三分之一至三分之二的手术患者发生手术部位感染,与资源丰富的国家相比,这一比例高出九倍。确定导致剖宫产后手术部位感染的发生率和危险因素是预防和减少这一问题的一步。尽管如此,正在调查亚的斯亚贝巴的问题分布情况,亚的斯亚贝巴的剖宫产率与该国其他地区相比相对较高。目的:本研究的目的是评估2019年埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴选定的政府医院剖宫产手术部位感染的发生率及其相关因素。方法:采用基于医院的前瞻性队列研究设计,对2019年3月11日至4月9日在亚的斯亚贝巴选定的政府医院剖宫产的175名妇女进行随访。采用方便抽样法从随机选取的医院中选取研究单位。对剖宫产手术部位感染的发生率进行描述性统计。通过双变量logistic回归分析计算结果与自变量之间的存在及关联程度,在多变量logistic回归分析中考虑双变量logistic回归分析中p < 0.2显著性水平的因素。结果:在完成30天随访的166名参与者中,25名(15%)参与者发生手术部位感染。年龄、胎龄、手术时间、≥5次阴道检查与结局变量有显著相关性,AOR (95% CI)为((AOR = 1.504, 95% CI为(1.170 ~ 1.933,p < 0.2),多变量logistic回归分析考虑双变量logistic回归分析的显著性水平。多变量logistic回归分析考虑双变量logistic回归分析中P < 0.2的显著性水平。多变量logistic回归分析考虑双变量logistic回归分析中P < 0.2的显著性水平。多变量logistic回归分析考虑双变量logistic回归分析中P < 0.2的显著性水平。结论和建议。手术部位感染率较高,由于样本量小,某些关联丢失。建议进一步开展大量样本量的干预性研究。

Skilled attendance at birth is widely regarded as an effective intervention to reduce maternal and early neonatal morbidity and mortality. However, many women in Ethiopia still deliver without skilled assistance. This study was carried out to identify factors that influenced or motivated women to give birth in a health facility in their previous, current, and future pregnancies. This descriptive explorative qualitative study was conducted in two districts of West Gojjam zone in North West Ethiopia. Fourteen focus group discussions were conducted with pregnant women and women who gave birth within one year. An inductive thematic analysis approach was employed to analyze the qualitative data. In this study, two major themes and a number of subthemes emerged from the focus group discussions with the study participants. The factors that influenced or motivated women to give birth in health facility in their previous, current, and future pregnancies include access to ambulance transport service, prevention of mother to child HIV transmission service, referral service, women friendly service, and emergency obstetric services, good interpersonal care from health workers, and fear and experience of obstetric danger signs and complications. In addition, reception of information and advice on importance of skilled delivery care and obstetric danger signs and complications from health workers, use of antenatal care, previous use of skilled delivery care, ensuring wellbeing of parturient women and newborns, and use of emergency obstetric care were also identified as influencers and motivators for health facility childbirth in previous, current, and future deliveries. Increased understanding of the factors that influenced or motivated women to deliver in facilities could contribute to developing strategies to improve the uptake of facility-based maternity services and corresponding declines in maternal morbidity and mortality.

熟练的助产服务被广泛认为是降低孕产妇和早期新生儿发病率和死亡率的有效干预措施。然而,埃塞俄比亚的许多妇女在分娩时仍然没有熟练的帮助。进行这项研究是为了确定影响或促使妇女在以前、现在和将来怀孕期间在卫生机构分娩的因素。这个描述性的探索性质的研究是在埃塞俄比亚西北部西Gojjam地区的两个地区进行的。对孕妇和一年内分娩的妇女进行了14次焦点小组讨论。采用归纳主题分析法对定性数据进行分析。在本研究中,从与研究参与者的焦点小组讨论中产生了两个主要主题和一些次要主题。影响或促使妇女在以往、目前和今后怀孕期间在卫生机构分娩的因素包括:获得救护车运输服务、预防母婴艾滋病毒传播服务、转诊服务、妇女友好服务和紧急产科服务、卫生工作者提供的良好人际护理、以及对产科危险迹象和并发症的恐惧和经历。此外,从卫生工作者那里接受关于熟练分娩护理和产科危险迹象及并发症重要性的信息和咨询、产前护理的使用、以前使用熟练分娩护理、确保产妇和新生儿的福祉以及产科急诊的使用,也被确定为在以前、现在和将来分娩时在卫生机构分娩的影响因素和激励因素。加深对影响或促使妇女在设施内分娩的因素的了解,可有助于制定战略,提高对设施内产妇服务的接受程度,并相应降低产妇发病率和死亡率。

Background: Cervical cancer is a global health problem. It is the second most common cancer in women worldwide, and it is the most frequent form and the leading cause of cancer mortality among Ethiopian women. Cervical cancer screening can reduce at least 50% of cervical cancer deaths. In Ethiopia, practice of cervical cancer screening is below 1%. Hence, this study aimed at assessing cervical cancer screening acceptance and determinant factors among women in Dabat district of Northwest Ethiopia.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted in Dabat district in Northwest Ethiopia, 2016. The multistage sampling method was used to recruit 790 women from the selected rural and urban kebeles. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression analysis method was employed to determine factors significantly associated with the acceptance of cervical cancer screening with a 95% CI at p value <0.05.

Results: The overall awareness of cervical cancer screening was 12.1% (95% CI: 9.6, 14.5), and 17.1% (95% CI 14.4, 19.8) of them accepted the screening. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, having knowledge about cervical cancer (AOR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.7, 3.8), parity women who had more children (AOR = 3.1, 95% CI: 1.7, 5.5) and those who perceived the severity of the disease (AOR = 1.9, 95% CI (1.3-3.1)) were statistically significant factors for acceptance of cervical cancer screening.

Conclusions: Most of the women had poor awareness and acceptance of cervical cancer screening. The findings also revealed that women of multiparous, knowledge about cervical cancer, and perceived the disease as severe were shown to be significant factors of acceptance for cervical cancer screening. Hence, continuous health education and appropriate counseling to women should be performed.

背景:宫颈癌是一个全球性的健康问题。它是全世界妇女中第二大常见癌症,也是埃塞俄比亚妇女癌症死亡的最常见形式和主要原因。子宫颈癌普查可减少至少50%的子宫颈癌死亡。在埃塞俄比亚,宫颈癌筛查的实践低于1%。因此,本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚西北部Dabat地区妇女对宫颈癌筛查的接受程度及其决定因素。方法:2016年在埃塞俄比亚西北部Dabat地区进行基于社区的横断面研究设计。采用多阶段抽样方法,从选定的农村和城市乡镇中招募了790名妇女。使用结构化问卷收集数据。采用多因素logistic回归分析方法,确定与宫颈癌筛查接受度显著相关的因素,95% CI为p值。结果:总体宫颈癌筛查知知率为12.1% (95% CI: 9.6, 14.5),接受筛查率为17.1% (95% CI: 14.4, 19.8)。在多因素logistic回归分析中,了解宫颈癌(AOR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.7, 3.8)、胎次多(AOR = 3.1, 95% CI: 1.7, 5.5)和了解疾病严重程度(AOR = 1.9, 95% CI(1.3-3.1))是接受宫颈癌筛查的有统计学意义的因素。结论:大多数妇女对宫颈癌筛查的认识和接受程度较差。调查结果还显示,已生育的妇女、对宫颈癌的了解以及认为该疾病严重是接受宫颈癌筛查的重要因素。因此,应该对妇女进行持续的健康教育和适当的咨询。

Fetoplacental Weight Relationship in Normal Pregnancy and Pregnancy Complicated by Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension and Abruption of Placenta among Mothers Who Gave Birth in Southern Ethiopia, 2018. 埃塞俄比亚南部产妇正常妊娠与妊高征合并胎盘早剥胎重关系分析,2018。
IF 1.9 Q3 OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY Pub Date : 2020-01-27 eCollection Date: 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.1155/2020/6839416

Introduction: Placenta is a complex multifunctional organ that maintains pregnancy and promotes normal fetal development. The fetal outcome is adversely influenced by pathological changes in the placenta because it is a mirror that reflects the intrauterine status of the fetus. Placental abnormalities are considered a leading cause of maternal and prenatal mortality. This study aimed to assess the fetoplacental weight relationship in pregnancy-induced hypertension and abruption placenta and compare with the normal one.

Objective: This study designed to assess fetoplacental weight relationships in normal pregnancy and pregnancy complicated by pregnancy-induced hypertension and abruption of placenta among mothers who gave birth in Dilla University Referral Hospital, southern Ethiopia, 2018.

Materials and methods: Institution-based comparative cross-sectional study was used on 50 placentas from mothers with pregnancy-induced hypertension, 50 placentas from mothers with abruption of placenta, and 50 placentas from mothers with normal pregnancy (control) with an age range of 19-34 years. The weight of the placenta and newborn were taken and the fetoplacental ratio was calculated.

Results: Placental index as well as the weight of the newborn shows statistically significant (p < 0.001) difference in pregnancy-induced hypertension and abruption placenta group compared with the normal group. The mean of the fetoplacental ratio in the normal group was 5.52 ± 0.07, in pregnancy-induced hypertension was 5.15 ± 0.11, whereas the abruption placenta was 4.99 ± 0.82.

Conclusion: Both PIH and abruption placenta were associated with remarkable changes in the placenta index such as small placental weight and diameter and results in different kinds of congenital anomalies and low birth weight of the baby. Hence, fetoplacental ratio was altered. The lowest fetoplacental ratio was 4.99 for abruption placenta, and the highest was for a normal group of the placenta which was 5.52. Therefore, an examination of the placenta before and after birth guarantees for feto-maternal health.

胎盘是维持妊娠、促进胎儿正常发育的复杂多功能器官。由于胎盘是反映胎儿宫内状态的一面镜子,因此其病理变化对胎儿结局有不利影响。胎盘异常被认为是孕产妇和产前死亡的主要原因。本研究旨在探讨妊高征及胎盘早剥与胎胎盘重量的关系,并与正常胎胎盘重量进行比较。目的:本研究旨在评估2018年在埃塞俄比亚南部迪拉大学转诊医院分娩的母亲在正常妊娠和妊娠合并妊高征和胎盘早剥期间胎儿胎盘重量的关系。材料与方法:采用基于机构的比较横断面研究方法,选取妊娠性高血压母亲胎盘50例、胎盘早剥母亲胎盘50例、正常妊娠母亲(对照)胎盘50例,年龄范围19 ~ 34岁。取胎盘和新生儿重量,计算胎胎盘比。结果:妊高征、胎盘早剥组胎盘指数及新生儿体重与正常组比较,差异均有统计学意义(p < 0.001)。正常组胎胎盘比平均值为5.52±0.07,妊高征组胎胎盘比平均值为5.15±0.11,早剥胎盘比平均值为4.99±0.82。结论:妊高征和胎盘早剥均与胎盘重量、直径小等胎盘指标发生显著变化有关,可导致不同类型的先天性异常和婴儿低出生体重。因此,胎胎盘比例被改变。早剥胎盘的胎胎盘比最低为4.99,正常胎盘的胎胎盘比最高为5.52。因此,在产前和产后对胎盘进行检查可以保证胎母健康。

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a major gynaecological complaint among females who have reached menarche. It is one of the major causes of absenteeism of females from schools and at the workplaces resulting in loss of productive working hours and work efficiency. Owing to socioeconomic and cultural differences, females from different backgrounds perceive and manage dysmenorrhea differently. Little is known about the use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) in the management of this condition by females in senior high schools in Ghana. Thus, this study sought to assess the use of CAM in the management of dysmenorrhea among female students in two senior high schools in Ghana.

Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study using a quantitative approach was conducted on a total of 478 female students attending Archbishop Porter Girl's Secondary School and Mporhor Senior High School. Information on the sociodemographic characteristics, lay representations of dysmenorrhea, pain intensity and severity, quality of life, self-management, and the use of CAM in the management of dysmenorrhea were obtained. The data were analysed using SPSS.

Results: 79.3% of the students used some form of CAM to manage dysmenorrhea. Of CAM users, 32% were utilizing mind-body medicine such as endurance and relaxation, 31% used the whole and alternative medicine such as the hot water therapy, 15% used biological-based medicine such as herbal products, and 22% used the manipulative and body-based systems such as exercises. Various CAM methods and products were perceived to be effective in relieving the pain and discomfort associated with dysmenorrhea in about 90% of the participants who used them. Significant associations were reported for pain severity and quality of life (QoL).

Conclusions: This study has demonstrated that the female students experiencing dysmenorrhea employ various CAM remedies in its management. Therefore, there is the need for education on the right management of dysmenorrhea to ensure that safe and efficacious CAM products and methods are used by adolescent female students.

背景:痛经是初潮女性的主要妇科主诉。这是造成女性缺勤和缺勤的主要原因之一,造成生产性工作时间和工作效率的损失。由于社会经济和文化的差异,不同背景的女性对痛经的认识和处理存在差异。对于加纳高中女生使用补充和替代药物(CAM)治疗这种疾病的情况,人们知之甚少。因此,本研究旨在评估加纳两所高中女生痛经治疗中CAM的使用情况。方法:采用校本横断面研究方法,对大主教波特女子中学和重要高中的478名女学生进行定量研究。获得了有关社会人口学特征、痛经的临床表现、疼痛强度和严重程度、生活质量、自我管理以及在痛经治疗中使用CAM的信息。数据采用SPSS统计软件进行分析。结果:79.3%的学生使用某种形式的CAM治疗痛经。在CAM使用者中,32%的人使用身心药物,如耐力和放松,31%的人使用整体和替代药物,如热水疗法,15%的人使用生物药物,如草药产品,22%的人使用手法和身体为基础的系统,如锻炼。各种CAM方法和产品被认为对缓解痛经相关的疼痛和不适有效,约90%的参与者使用它们。据报道,疼痛严重程度和生活质量(QoL)之间存在显著关联。结论:本研究表明女生痛经可采用多种CAM治疗方法。因此,有必要进行痛经正确管理的教育,以确保青春期女学生使用安全有效的CAM产品和方法。

Background: To evaluate the efficacy of a succinate-based dietary supplement (SBDS; Amberen) in symptomatic menopausal women using a larger sample size derived by pooling data from two identical trials.

Methods: Raw data were pooled from two identical randomized, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 90-day clinical trials. Women aged 42-60 years with mild to moderate vasomotor and psychosomatic menopausal symptoms were included (114 in the treatment group and 113 in the placebo group). Symptoms were assessed by the Greene Climacteric Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Changes in body mass index, body weight, waist and hip circumferences, and plasma levels of follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, leptin, and apolipoproteins A1 and B were also evaluated.

Results: SBDS use resulted in significant improvements in several endpoints including alleviation of 16 of 21 menopausal symptoms (p ≤ 0.05, Greene Scale) and a decrease in anxiety (p < 0.0001, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) when compared to placebo. Significant reductions were observed in weight, body mass index, and waist and hip circumferences in the supplement cohort. Evaluation of physiological parameters showed a significant increase in serum estradiol levels compared to baseline (p < 0.0001) among users of the SBDS. Levels of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone decreased slightly in both groups, without significant differences between the groups. Leptin levels decreased with statistical significance in the SBDS cohort compared to placebo (p=0.027). For those with initial leptin concentrations above the reference range, leptin decreased significantly in the SBDS group compared to the baseline (p < 0.0001) and to placebo (p=0.027).

Conclusions: The pooled analysis reaffirms the outcomes from the individual trials. A nonhormonal, succinate-based dietary supplement is shown to relieve menopausal symptoms when compared to a placebo regimen in a randomized, double-blinded clinical trial.

背景:通过汇集两项相同试验的数据,使用更大的样本量来评估基于琥珀酸的膳食补充剂(SBDS;Amberen)对有症状的更年期妇女的疗效。方法:从两个相同的随机、多中心、双盲、安慰剂对照的90天临床试验中收集原始数据。纳入年龄为42-60岁、有轻度至中度血管舒缩和心身更年期症状的女性(治疗组114例,安慰剂组113例)。症状评估采用格林更年期症状量表和状态-特质焦虑量表。还评估了体重指数、体重、腰围和臀围以及血浆促卵泡激素、黄体生成素、雌二醇、瘦素和载脂蛋白A1和B水平的变化。结果:与安慰剂相比,SBDS的使用在几个终点上有显著改善,包括缓解了21种更年期症状中的16种(p≤0.05,格林量表)和减少了焦虑(p<0.0001,状态-特质焦虑量表)。在补充剂队列中,观察到体重、体重指数以及腰围和臀围显著下降。生理参数评估显示,与基线相比,SBDS使用者的血清雌二醇水平显著升高(p<0.0001)。两组的卵泡刺激素和黄体生成素水平均略有下降,两组之间无显著差异。与安慰剂相比,SBDS队列中的瘦素水平下降具有统计学意义(p=0.027)。对于初始瘦素浓度高于参考范围的患者,SBDS组的瘦素水平与基线(p<0.0001)和安慰剂(p=0.027)相比显著下降。结论:汇总分析重申了个体试验的结果。在一项随机、双盲临床试验中,与安慰剂方案相比,以琥珀酸为基础的非均衡膳食补充剂可以缓解更年期症状。
