Background. Delay to timely healthcare contributes to high maternal mortality and morbidity in developing countries. The so-called ‘Three delays’ model has been used extensively to investigate factors relating to maternal mortality.  Objective. To investigate factors associated with delayed emergency obstetric care in Arsi Zone, Ethiopia.  Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted across 10 public health facilities in Arsi Zone, Ethiopia. The required sample size was calculated as 847, with the number of participants required at each facility determined proportionally.  Results. Data from 775 respondents were used in the analysis. Approximately a quarter of respondents ( n =203; 26.2%) reported a delayed decision to seek emergency obstetric care. The mean time for delay was 90 minutes (range 30 minutes - 18 hours). Maternal age, educational level, monthly household income and antenatal visits were significant predictors of this first maternal delay. Close to a third of the respondents ( n =234; 30.2%) reported a transport-related delay in reaching a healthcare facility; some respondents walked at least 30 minutes to reach the facility. Approximately a quarter of respondents ( n =198; 25.5%) reported that they did not receive timely care after arriving at the healthcare facility. The mean delay was 42.3 minutes.  Conclusion. The most common delay was related to difficulty in reaching the healthcare facility. In approximately half of the cases, the woman’s husband took the decision to access medical care. This suggests limited independent decision-making power of women in this context. Such factors should be considered in efforts to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
背景延迟及时提供医疗保健导致发展中国家产妇死亡率和发病率居高不下。所谓的“三延迟”模型已被广泛用于调查与孕产妇死亡率相关的因素。目标。调查埃塞俄比亚阿尔西地区产科急诊延误的相关因素。方法。对埃塞俄比亚阿尔西地区的10个公共卫生设施进行了横断面研究。所需的样本量计算为847人,每个设施所需的参与者人数按比例确定。结果。分析中使用了775名受访者的数据。大约四分之一的受访者(n=203;26.2%)报告称,寻求产科急诊的决定被推迟。平均延迟时间为90分钟(范围为30分钟-18小时)。产妇年龄、教育水平、每月家庭收入和产前检查是第一次产妇延迟的重要预测因素。近三分之一的受访者(n=234;30.2%)报告称,在到达医疗机构时出现了与交通相关的延误;一些受访者步行至少30分钟到达该设施。大约四分之一的受访者(n=198;25.5%)表示,他们在到达医疗机构后没有得到及时的护理。平均延迟42.3分钟。结论。最常见的延误与难以到达医疗机构有关。在大约一半的病例中,妇女的丈夫决定获得医疗服务。这表明妇女在这方面的独立决策权有限。在努力降低孕产妇发病率和死亡率时,应考虑到这些因素。

Background. Awareness of the natural course of cervical cancer, screening and timely intervention can help to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with this disease.  Objective. To assess the awareness about cervical cancer and the uptake of screening among adult women in northern Delhi, India.  Methods. A cross-sectional observational study ( N =401) was conducted at a tertiary-care teaching hospital over a period of 3 months. A questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data and probe participants’ awareness of cervical cancer, preventive measures and sources of information. Data were analysed using an independent t -test, with a significance level of p <0.05.  Results. The majority of participants (45%) were between 18 and 25 years old. Approximately a third (34%) were illiterate and 39.4% were educated only up to Grade 10. Almost all participants (99%) were married and 85.3% were unemployed. Only 31.9% of participants knew about cervical cancer, and of these only 26 (20.3%) were aware that cervical cancer is a preventable disease. Only 8.5% of the participants knew about Pap smears and only 1.6% had heard about the human papillomavirus vaccine. Participants indicated that health professionals were the main source of information. Only 2.2% of the entire sample reported having had a Pap smear before.  Conclusion. Low awareness of cervical cancer and its prevention was found among the study population. A national education and communication strategy is recommended to improve awareness.

Background. Seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) is high in developing countries. However, a pregnant woman’s immunity does not necessarily protect her baby against congenital CMV infection.  Objectives. To determine the seroprevalence of CMV among pregnant women attending a public antenatal clinic (Windhoek Central Hospital, Namibia) and subsequently determine the risk of vertical transmission and congenital CMV infection.  Methods. Blood samples and demographic information were collected from 344 pregnant women (age range 15 - 48 years). Serum was tested for anti-CMV IgG and IgM using an automated chemiluminescence assay, and an ELISA was used to assess specific IgG avidity. Fisher’s exact test was used to determine associations among variables.  Results. Seroprevalence of anti-CMV IgG was found to be 100% across the study population, with positive or grey-zone anti-CMV IgM results found in 11 women (3.2%). Specific IgG avidity was high in all cases. Neither maternal nor gestational age was positively associated with a positive or grey-zone IgM result. Parity was significantly associated with CMV IgM seroprevalence, with the highest level observed in women who had had one previous pregnancy.  Conclusion. This was the first study to investigate seroprevalence of CMV in Namibia. Despite the high seroprevalence among pregnant women, the burden of congenital CMV infection may b e carried by infants in the Namibian population. This may contribute to long-term disabilities, especially sensorineural hearing loss. Further studies are needed to determine the prevalence of congenital CMV in Namibia.
背景巨细胞病毒(CMV)在发展中国家的血清流行率很高。然而,孕妇的免疫力并不一定能保护她的婴儿免受先天性巨细胞病毒感染。目标。确定在公共产前诊所(纳米比亚温得和克中央医院)就诊的孕妇中CMV的血清流行率,随后确定垂直传播和先天性CMV感染的风险。方法。采集了344名孕妇(年龄在15-48岁之间)的血液样本和人口统计信息。使用自动化学发光测定法检测血清中的抗CMV IgG和IgM,并使用ELISA来评估特异性IgG亲和力。Fisher精确检验用于确定变量之间的关联。结果。研究人群中抗CMV IgG的血清流行率为100%,11名女性(3.2%)的抗CMV IgM结果呈阳性或灰色地带。所有病例的特异性IgG亲和力都很高。母体和胎龄均与IgM阳性或灰色地带结果呈正相关。产次与CMV-IgM血清流行率显著相关,在既往妊娠过一次的女性中观察到最高水平。结论。这是第一项调查纳米比亚CMV血清流行率的研究。尽管孕妇血清阳性率很高,但纳米比亚人口中的婴儿可能携带先天性巨细胞病毒感染的负担。这可能会导致长期残疾,尤其是感音神经性听力损失。需要进一步的研究来确定纳米比亚先天性巨细胞病毒的患病率。

Background. Informing patients about available anaesthesia options allows patients to share in decision-making.  Objectives. To determine the preference for general or regional anaesthesia among patients admitted for elective caesarean delivery at a district hospital in Bloemfontein, South Africa, and whether the patients were informed about their anaesthesia options by their doctor.  Methods. Consecutive sampling was used. Patients ≥18 years old and who had had a caesarean delivery under general or regional anaesthesia participated in the study. Data were collected using a questionnaire, which was completed during formal interviews with patients.  Results. Of the 50 patients interviewed, 30 (60.0%) preferred regional anaesthesia. With regard to the current surgery, 58.0% stated that they were informed of the available anaesthesia options.  Conclusion. The majority of the patients in our study preferred regional anaesthesia. Although only 58.0% reported that they received information, many of those valued the doctor’s opinion in their choice of anaesthesia.

Background . Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is one of the antioxidant enzymes that maintain the balance of reactive oxygen species. GPx has a notable role in the progression of cancer, including ovarian cancer. Synthesis of this enzyme may be down-regulated in cases of ovarian cancer. As far as we are aware, this has not been studied in an Indonesian population.  Objective. To identify the difference in serum GPx levels between ovarian cancer patients and healthy controls.  Methods . This was an observational analytical study with a case–control design. The study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Haji Adam Malik Hospital in Medan, Indonesia. Serum GPx levels were measured in 20 ovarian cancer patients and 20 control subjects.  Results . The types of ovarian cancer identified by histopathology in this study included serous adenocarcinoma ( n =10; 50%) and various non-serous adenocarcinomas (50%). The mean (SD) serum GPx level was significantly lower in the cancer group (295.235 (244.479) mU/mL) than in the control group (743.546 (131.949) mU/mL) ( p 0.226).  Conclusion . Serum GPx levels were found to be significantly lower in patients with ovarian cancer than in healthy controls. Further studies are needed to determine an appropriate cut-off level for serum GPx in ovarian cancer in this population.
背景谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)是维持活性氧平衡的抗氧化酶之一。GPx在包括癌症在内的癌症的进展中具有显著作用。这种酶的合成可能在卵巢癌症的情况下被下调。据我们所知,这还没有在印度尼西亚人口中进行研究。目标。确定卵巢癌症患者和健康对照者血清GPx水平的差异。方法。这是一项采用病例对照设计的观察性分析研究。这项研究是在印度尼西亚棉兰Haji Adam Malik医院的妇产科进行的。对20例卵巢癌症患者和20例对照受试者的血清GPx水平进行了测定。结果。在本研究中,组织病理学鉴定的卵巢癌症类型包括浆液性腺癌(n=10;50%)和各种非癌性腺癌(50%)。癌症组血清GPx平均水平(295.235(244.479)mU/mL)显著低于对照组(743.546(131.949)mU/mL)(p 0.226)。发现卵巢癌症患者的血清GPx水平显著低于健康对照组。需要进一步的研究来确定该人群中卵巢癌症患者血清GPx的适当截止水平。

Further studies are needed to determine an appropriate cut-off level for serum GPx in ovarian cancer in this population.","PeriodicalId":49579,"journal":{"name":"South African Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.7196/SAJOG.1393","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42234036","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}

Background. Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a gynaecological emergency with implications for maternal morbidity worldwide. Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred method of surgical management in most cases, as it has been shown to improve patient outcomes and overall care and to be cost effective and efficient.  Objectives. To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for EP management at a secondary hospital, based on incidence rates and comparing surgery-associated variables and outcomes with those in laparotomy.  Methods. A retrospective study design was used. All patients who were treated surgically for EP at the Worcester Provincial Hospital were included. The required sample size was 81. Data were collected from patient files and theatre reports. Cases were assigned to one of two cohorts based on the method of surgical management.  Results. A total of 84 cases were identified, of which 48 (57.1%) were managed laparoscopically and 36 (42.9%) with laparotomy. The average surgical time was 34.6 minutes and 44.9 minutes for a laparotomy and a laparoscopy, respectively. Patients who were treated laparoscopically required significantly less postoperative pain relief and had shorter hospital stays.  Conclusion. This study shows not only that laparoscopy treatment is a feasible option for EP in a secondary-hospital setting in South Africa, but also that the intervention is associated with significantly better patient outcomes than laparotomy. The demonstrated benefits make laparoscopy the preferred treatment modality for EP when surgical intervention is required.
背景异位妊娠(EP)是一种妇科紧急情况,对全球孕产妇发病率有影响。腹腔镜手术在大多数情况下是首选的手术管理方法,因为它已被证明可以改善患者的预后和整体护理,并且具有成本效益和效率。目标。根据发病率,研究在二级医院进行腹腔镜手术治疗EP的可行性,并将手术相关变量和结果与剖腹手术进行比较。方法。采用回顾性研究设计。所有在伍斯特省医院接受EP手术治疗的患者都包括在内。所需样本量为81。数据收集自患者档案和手术室报告。根据手术管理方法,将病例分为两组中的一组。结果。共发现84例病例,其中48例(57.1%)采用腹腔镜治疗,36例(42.9%)采用剖腹手术治疗。剖腹手术和腹腔镜手术的平均手术时间分别为34.6分钟和44.9分钟。腹腔镜治疗的患者术后疼痛缓解明显减少,住院时间更短。结论。这项研究不仅表明,在南非的二级医院环境中,腹腔镜治疗EP是一种可行的选择,而且与剖腹手术相比,这种干预措施能显著改善患者的预后。当需要手术干预时,腹腔镜检查的优势使其成为EP的首选治疗方式。
