Background. Risk stratification of pregnant women may decrease the perinatal mortality rate in South Africa. This relies on the assessment of the referring health facility and timeous presentation of the patient. Inaccurate dating affects the ability to detect growth restriction. Patients requiring referral may go undetected and deliver with the inappropriate level of care. Doppler studies can assist in detecting at-risk fetuses. Objectives. To describe the short-term outcomes of fetuses with a normal or abnormal cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) according to the various definitions in the literature. Methods. A cohort of 200 pregnant women were prospectively recruited while in early labour. Patient history including previous ultrasound scans were obtained. Ultrasound was done for biometry, umbilical artery (UA), middle cerebral artery (MCA) and uterine Dopplers, and the CPR was calculated. Labour and delivery details were recorded. An association between an abnormal CPR, adverse outcomes and composite score was determined. Results. Less than a tenth (7.7%; n =15) of the participants had a CPR <1.08. Furthermore, 16.5% ( n =31) of the participants were <5th centile and 24.2% ( n =47) were <10th centile. The composite score of adverse outcomes in those with and without a CPR <5 th centile was not significant ( p =0.737). There was no association between adverse outcomes ( p =0.179) or a composite score ( p =0.237) and the CPR cut-off of the 10th centile. Moreover, there was no association between an abnormal CPR and adverse outcomes after adjusting for confounders. There were no cases of perinatal death or neonatal encephalopathy. Conclusion. An abnormal CPR was not clinically useful in detecting fetuses at risk of adverse outcomes in early labour regardless of the CPR cut-off. However, this is reassuring when normal and may if combined with other parameters still prove useful.

Renal artery aneurysm is a rare condition, the incidence being ~0.01 - 1%. In pregnancy this condition is rare but carries a significant mortality. Predisposing factors in pregnancy are thought to be physiological, hormonal and haemodynamic. Clinical diagnosis requires a high level of suspicion, as patients are usually asymptomatic prior to rupture. The clinical presentation often mimics other common obstetric conditions such as labour, uterine rupture or placental abruption. It is essential at laparotomy in cases of intra-abdominal bleeding that a thorough search is made for the source of blood loss when no obvious obstetric cause is found. We report a case of a maternal death that was due to rupture of a renal artery aneurysm in the immediate peripartum period in a patient with chronic hypertension.

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is associated with preterm birth and congenital abnormalities, which could be exacerbated by maternal co-infection with HIV. This case report describes an HIV-exposed neonate with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), born by a mother who had a CMV infection of the placenta, who demised following laparoscopic repair of an omphalocele.

Background. Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and optimal viral suppression are crucial to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV/AIDS. Objective. To determine adherence to ART and associated factors in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Methods. A cross-sectional multicentre study was conducted among 170 HIV-positive pregnant women attending antenatal clinics of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital and the Comprehensive Health Centre in Ado-Ekiti. Data collected using a semi-structured questionnaire were analysed with SPSS. Descriptive statistics, univariate and logistic regression were performed to determine factors associated with good adherence. Results. Using the pill count method and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8), the prevalence of good adherence was 73.5% and 75.3%, respectively. Women with higher education were three times more likely to practise good adherence than those with little or no formal education (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=3.03; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23 - 5.79; p =0.043) and those employed were four times more likely to practise good adherence (aOR=4.13; 95% CI 1.83 - 8.15; p =0.02). Also, partner disclosure, treatment support and use of ARVs for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) were indications of women three times more likely to practise good adherence ((aOR=2.53; 95% CI 0.99 - 5.80; p =0.035); (aOR=2.15; 95% CI 0.77 - 4.15; p =0.014) and (aOR=3.15; 95% CI 0.93 - 6.21; p =0.035)). Forgetfulness, busy schedule and stigmatisation were reasons given for non-adherence. Conclusions. The majority of the women had good adherence. However, counselling on adherence and partner disclosure should be sustained to ensure full benefits of PMTCT.
背景。坚持抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)和最佳病毒抑制对预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病母婴传播(PMTCT)至关重要。目标。确定尼日利亚Ado-Ekiti地区抗逆转录病毒治疗依从性及相关因素。方法。对在埃基蒂州立大学教学医院产前诊所和阿多埃基蒂综合保健中心就诊的170名艾滋病毒阳性孕妇进行了一项横断面多中心研究。采用半结构化问卷收集的数据用SPSS进行分析。采用描述性统计、单变量和逻辑回归来确定与良好依从性相关的因素。结果。采用药片计数法和Morisky用药依从性量表-8 (MMAS-8),良好依从率分别为73.5%和75.3%。受过高等教育的妇女比受过很少或没有受过正规教育的妇女更有可能保持良好的依从性(调整优势比(aOR)=3.03;95%置信区间(CI) 1.23 ~ 5.79;p =0.043),而那些被雇佣的人更有可能保持良好的依从性(aOR=4.13;95% ci 1.83 - 8.15;p = 0.02)。此外,伴侣信息披露、治疗支持和使用抗逆转录病毒药物预防母婴传播(PMTCT)是妇女良好依从性的三倍(aOR=2.53;95% ci 0.99 - 5.80;p = 0.035);(aOR = 2.15;95% ci 0.77 - 4.15;p =0.014), (aOR=3.15;95% ci 0.93 - 6.21;p = 0.035)。健忘、繁忙的日程和耻辱是不遵守规定的原因。结论。大多数妇女都有良好的依从性。然而,应该持续进行依从性和伴侣披露方面的咨询,以确保预防母婴传播的充分益处。

Background. Laboratory information systems have a wealth of patient and health data that can be made available for research. These data can serve to better inform healthcare delivery and formulation of policies. The placenta is just one histopathology laboratory specimen that can provide such insight, particularly with regard to maternal and neonatal healthcare. Objectives. To describe the spectrum of placental pathology in a private and public laboratory and to ascertain implications for improved maternal and neonatal healthcare and policies. Methods. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of placental histopathology reports from Lancet Laboratories and the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) in Johannesburg over a 1-year period (August 2017 - July 2018). The reports were categorised according to the 2014 Amsterdam Placental Workshop Group Consensus Statement and the percentages of each diagnostic entity compared between the two laboratories. These diagnostic categories included ascending infection, maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM), fetal vascular malperfusion, haematogenous infection, chronic villitis of unknown aetiology, retroplacental haemorrhage, no specific pathological changes and ‘other’. Differences in maternal age and gestational age were also compared. Results. There were 1 172 and 946 placentas that were entered into the study at Lancet and NHLS, respectively. MVM was the most prevalent pathology seen in both laboratories (40.6% and 47.7%; p =0.3193). Mean maternal and gestational age were both higher in the private system (both p <0.0000). Conclusion. Differences in placental pathology were multifactorial and reasons may include differences in socioeconomic status and resources, clinical and laboratory policies and practices, as well as pathologist training and expertise. Clear clinical guidelines for the submission and histopathological examination of the placenta are required to better inform neonatal and maternal healthcare and policies. In our divided healthcare system, collaborative medical research is not only possible between the public and private sectors but also necessary to achieve better healthcare and equity for patients in South Africa.

Solid pseudopapillary pancreatic tumours (SPTs) are tumours with a low malignant potential though they may metastasise. They are rare in pregnancy and their accelerated growth during pregnancy could be life-threatening. The challenge remains as to how best to treat pregnant patients diagnosed with or suspected of having these tumours. We report a case of a 28-year-old pregnant female patient at 20 weeks’ gestation who presented with mild abdominal pain and an abdominal mass. Physical examination showed an asymmetrical abdomen with associated mild tenderness. Radiological imaging showed a right-sided retroperitoneal tumour. Surgical management was deferred until the pregnancy was at full term. At term, once a live baby had been delivered, excision of the mass was performed. Histopathological assessment showed a solid pseudopapillary tumour of the pancreas. A multidisciplinary approach to a pregnant patient diagnosed with SPT is necessary to ensure the best outcome for both mother and child.
