The timing of cesarean delivery decision was assessed against predefined definitions of prolonged labor at each stage/phase of labor. The proportion of cesarean deliveries performed in cases of uncomplicated progression was calculated.

Finally, 456 of 746 patients (61.1%) met the inclusion criteria, of which 307 of 456 patients (67.3%) were admitted in the latent phase of labor. In 243 of 456 cesarean deliveries (53.3%) with an indication of prolonged labor, labor was not prolonged. This group included (1) women not being given a trial of labor (78/243 [32.1%]), (2) women in the first stage of active labor not crossing the partograph action line (145/243 [59.7%]), and (3) women in the second stage of labor lasting <1 hour (20/243 [8.2%]). Of note, 78 of 346 women (21.5%) in the first stage of active labor had a labor progression faster than 0.5 cm per hour preceding the decision for cesarean delivery.</div></div><div><h3>CONCLUSION</h3><div>Almost half of cesarean deliveries in unscarred uteri were because of prolonged labor. Despite a written indication of prolonged labor, approximately half of the cases did not have prolonged labor.

背景坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆的剖宫产率与许多资源有限的城市环境相似,从 2015 年的 17% 迅速上升到 2022 年的 26%。令人担忧的是,在人口层面上,围产期结果并没有随之改善,这表明过度使用了剖宫产。产程延长是妇女首次剖宫产的主要原因。因此,了解剖宫产前产程延长的管理对于在坦桑尼亚乃至全球范围内预防非医学指征的剖宫产至关重要。研究设计本研究于 2021 年 10 月 1 日至 2022 年 8 月 31 日在坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆的 5 个城市产科医院进行。研究人员从剖宫产产妇的病例档案中提取数据,这些产妇都有产程延长的书面说明。根据预定义的产程各阶段产程延长的定义,对决定剖宫产的时间进行了评估。计算了无并发症进展情况下的剖宫产比例。排除标准包括因产程延长或入院时宫颈扩张达>6 cm、非头位妊娠、多胎妊娠、胎儿宫内死亡、引产失败、既往剖宫产或其他书面剖宫产指征而转入研究机构。结果总体剖宫产率为32%(2949/9364)。在首次剖宫产病例中,1517 例患者中有 746 例(47.9%)有延长产程的书面指征。最后,746 例患者中有 456 例(61.1%)符合纳入标准,其中 456 例患者中有 307 例(67.3%)在潜伏产程阶段入院。在 456 例有延长产程指征的剖宫产中,有 243 例(53.3%)的产程没有延长。这部分产妇包括:(1)未进行试产的产妇(78/243 [32.1%]);(2)处于第一产程的产妇未越过分宫图作用线(145/243 [59.7%]);以及(3)处于第二产程的产妇,产程持续了1小时(20/243 [8.2%])。值得注意的是,346 名处于第一产程的产妇中,有 78 名(21.5%)在决定剖宫产前的产程进展快于每小时 0.5 厘米。尽管有产程延长的书面提示,但约有一半的病例并没有出现产程延长。尽管在资源匮乏的环境中,传统的护理方式被归类为 "太少、太晚",但本研究发现,在世界上发展最快的城市之一,护理方式却是 "太多、太快"。这一发现凸显了 "一刀切 "的方法不足以遏制(小部分)低资源地区剖宫产率的上升。我们的研究呼吁,在分娩量大的繁忙产科病房中,应尊重产妇的生理规律,为其留出更多的分娩时间。

Background

Sickle cell disease (SCD) has evolved from a condition predominantly fatal in childhood to a chronic illness impacting many adults, including women of reproductive age. For females with SCD, pregnancy represents one of the greatest health threats, exacerbating existing health challenges and introducing new risks. Despite advancements in healthcare, routine screening for existing complications like pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains inconsistent, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the prevalence of SCD is highest.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the feasibility of screening for PH in pregnant women with SCD in LMICs, with the goal of enhancing maternal health outcomes in this vulnerable population.

Study Design

A prospective multi-center feasibility study was conducted from September 2022 to February 2023 at teaching hospitals in Ghana and Nigeria. The study included pregnant women with SCD between 28 and 34 weeks of gestation. Screening for PH utilized a tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) criterion (>2.5 m/s), with adherence to American Society of Echocardiography guidelines. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and proportions.

Results

Among 3091 pregnant women attending antenatal care, 88 had SCD (2.8%), and 55 were eligible for the study. We recruited 44 participants (mean age 28.9 years, SD 4.8), with 48% (21/44) SS genotype and 52% (23/44) SC genotype. Most participants (95.3%) had normal TRV (<2.5 m/s), with only one showing elevated TRV, successfully referred. Protocol adherence was 100%. Antenatal outcomes showed 95% echo uptake and 95.7% retention to term whilst postnatal echo follow-up was 43.5%. Notably, 27.1% (10/37) of deliveries required neonatal intensive care unit admission, and 18.2% were preterm. The sole participant with PH required intensive care unit care and experienced a preterm delivery with neonatal death on day 5.

Conclusion

Screening and referral for PH in pregnant women with SCD in LMICs are feasible but face challenges in early diagnosis, healthcare personnel availability, and postnatal follow-up. Strategic planning is crucial to address these challenges and improve outcomes in this high-risk population
背景镰状细胞病(SCD)已从一种主要在儿童时期致命的疾病演变为一种影响许多成年人(包括育龄妇女)的慢性疾病。对于患有 SCD 的女性来说,怀孕是最大的健康威胁之一,不仅会加剧现有的健康挑战,还会带来新的风险。尽管医疗保健取得了进步,但对肺动脉高压(PH)等现有并发症的常规筛查仍不一致,尤其是在 SCD 患病率最高的中低收入国家(LMIC)。研究设计 2022 年 9 月至 2023 年 2 月,在加纳和尼日利亚的教学医院开展了一项前瞻性多中心可行性研究。研究对象包括妊娠 28 至 34 周的 SCD 孕妇。PH 筛查采用三尖瓣反流速度(TRV)标准(2.5 m/s),并遵循美国超声心动图学会指南。统计分析包括描述性统计和比例。结果在 3091 名接受产前检查的孕妇中,88 人患有 SCD(2.8%),55 人符合研究条件。我们招募了 44 名参与者(平均年龄 28.9 岁,SD 4.8),其中 48% (21/44)为 SS 基因型,52% (23/44)为 SC 基因型。大多数参与者(95.3%)的 TRV 正常(2.5 m/s),只有一人 TRV 升高,并成功转诊。100%的参与者遵守了方案。产前结果显示,95%的受试者接受了回波检查,95.7%的受试者保留到足月,而产后回波随访率为43.5%。值得注意的是,27.1%(10/37)的产妇需要入住新生儿重症监护室,18.2%为早产儿。结论在低收入和中等收入国家对患有 SCD 的孕妇进行 PH 筛查和转诊是可行的,但在早期诊断、医护人员的可用性和产后随访方面面临挑战。要应对这些挑战并改善这一高风险人群的预后,战略规划至关重要。

BACKGROUND

The worldwide increase in the cesarean delivery rate is a major public health concern and cause of significant debate. Although multiple studies have shown that higher cesarean delivery rates may be associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes, the number of cesarean deliveries has been continuously increasing. In the Republic of Moldova, cesarean delivery increased from 15.75% in 2012 to 27.42% in 2022. However, the perinatal mortality remained unchanged at 11.6%. To understand the factors that determine the increasing trend in cesarean delivery and to approach new strategies to reduce unnecessary surgical delivery, a standardized tool is needed to assess and compare cesarean delivery rates.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess the changes in the rates and trends of cesarean delivery and to evaluate the contribution of different obstetrical populations to overall cesarean delivery rates in the Municipal Clinical Hospital using the Robson classification.

STUDY DESIGN

This was a cohort study conducted at the Municipal Clinical Hospital in Chisinau. The study included 13,882 women who gave birth in 2017, 2019, and 2022 at the Municipal Clinical Hospital. All births were classified into 10 Robson groups, using 6 basic variables (parity, cesarean delivery in medical history, labor onset, number of fetuses, gestational age, and fetal presentation). Statistical data were collected and analyzed using the Epi Info program (version 7.2.1.0; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA).

RESULTS

The overall cesarean delivery rate was 20.02% (2779/13,882), with a significant increase from 18.59% (809/4351) to 21.59% (1134/5252) (P=.0003). Approximately one-third (1099/2279 [39.55%]) of all cesarean deliveries were performed before labor onset. The main contributor in all study years was group 5 (957/2779 [34.44%]). The next valuable group that contributed to the overall cesarean delivery rate was group 2 (393/2779 [14.14%]), followed by group 1 (333/2779 [11.98%]).

CONCLUSION

The Robson Ten-Group Classification System provides a clear and detailed record of the trends in cesarean delivery. In addition, because of the Robson Ten-Group Classification System's simplicity and exclusivity, it can be implemented in the Republic of Moldova. The main contributors to the overall cesarean delivery rate were women with a previous cesarean delivery (group 5), followed by nulliparous women of group 2 and group 1.
背景 全球范围内剖宫产率的上升是一个重大的公共卫生问题,也是引起重大争议的原因。尽管多项研究表明,较高的剖宫产率可能与不良的孕产妇和围产期结局有关,但剖宫产的数量仍在持续增加。在摩尔多瓦共和国,剖宫产率从 2012 年的 15.75% 上升至 2022 年的 27.42%。然而,围产期死亡率保持不变,仍为 11.6%。为了了解决定剖宫产率上升趋势的因素,并采取新策略减少不必要的手术分娩,需要一种标准化工具来评估和比较剖宫产率。研究设计这是一项在基希讷乌市立临床医院进行的队列研究。研究对象包括 2017 年、2019 年和 2022 年在市临床医院分娩的 13882 名妇女。所有产妇被分为10个罗布森组,使用6个基本变量(奇偶数、病史中的剖宫产、临产、胎儿数量、胎龄和胎儿表现)。结果总体剖宫产率为 20.02%(2779/13882),从 18.59%(809/4351)显著上升至 21.59%(1134/5252)(P=.0003)。大约三分之一(1099/2279 [39.55%])的剖宫产是在临产前进行的。在所有研究年份中,第 5 组(957/2779 [34.44%])是剖宫产的主要贡献者。结论罗布森十组分类系统清晰而详细地记录了剖宫产的趋势。此外,由于罗布森十组分类系统的简便性和排他性,它可以在摩尔多瓦共和国实施。总体剖宫产率的主要贡献者是曾有过剖宫产经历的妇女(第 5 组),其次是第 2 组和第 1 组的无产科妇女。

Background

Cervical cancer screening using HPV self-sampling presents a valuable opportunity to enhance access for underserved and never-screened women in Zimbabwe. However, to ensure the successful implementation of this innovative approach, it is crucial to understand the preferences of key stakeholders, particularly women, with regard to the various components of an HPV self-sampling intervention.

Objective

This study aimed to elicit rural women's preferences for HPV self-sampling.

Study design

A DCE questionnaire was administered to 215 women in Chidamoyo, Hurungwe Rural District. Women were asked to choose between two hypothetical screening choices defined by education, location of services, supervision of self-sampling, comfort of sampling device, results notification and care after HPV results. Data were analysed using fixed and mixed logistic regression models.

Results

Results indicated that the comfort of the sampling device had the most significant impact on women's preferences for HPV self-sampling. Women prioritised facility-based self-sampling, female-supervised self-sampling, and face-to-face education on cervical cancer and screening methods. The methods of results notification and care after HPV results did not significantly impact women's choices. The mixed effects results showed preference heterogeneity in some of the attributes. Interaction analyses suggested that preferences were largely homogenous across the following subgroups: never-screened, previously screened, young and older women. The stratified analysis also showed that preferences were consistent among the four subgroups.

Conclusion

Our findings highlight the importance of face-to-face education, comfortable and user-friendly sampling devices, female health worker supervision and health facility-based self-sampling for cervical cancer screening via HPV self-sampling. These insights could guide the design of patient-centric interventions to ensure high uptake and increased screening coverage.
背景在津巴布韦,利用 HPV 自我采样进行宫颈癌筛查为服务不足和从未接受过筛查的妇女提供了一个宝贵的机会。然而,为确保这一创新方法的成功实施,了解主要利益相关者(尤其是妇女)对 HPV 自我采样干预措施各组成部分的偏好至关重要。研究设计对 Hurungwe 农村地区 Chidamoyo 的 215 名妇女进行了 DCE 问卷调查。妇女被要求在两种假设的筛查选择中做出选择,这两种选择由教育程度、服务地点、自我采样的监督、采样设备的舒适度、结果通知以及 HPV 结果出来后的护理等因素决定。结果表明,采样设备的舒适度对妇女进行 HPV 自我采样的偏好影响最大。妇女优先选择的是基于设施的自我采样、女性监督下的自我采样以及关于宫颈癌和筛查方法的面对面教育。结果通知方法和 HPV 结果后的护理方法对妇女的选择没有显著影响。混合效应结果显示了某些属性的偏好异质性。交互分析表明,以下亚组妇女的偏好大体相同:从未接受筛查的妇女、曾接受筛查的妇女、年轻妇女和老年妇女。我们的研究结果强调了面对面教育、舒适且方便使用的采样设备、女性卫生工作者的监督以及基于卫生设施的 HPV 自我采样对于宫颈癌筛查的重要性。这些见解可指导设计以患者为中心的干预措施,以确保高接受率和筛查覆盖率。

Background

Approximately 44% of Nepalese women ages 15–49, desiring to avoid pregnancy, do not use modern contraceptives, resulting in an estimated 539,000 unintended pregnancies annually.

Objectives

This study aims to investigate the association between young, newly married women's pregnancy intentions and subsequent pregnancies.

Study design

Data were collected longitudinally from 200 recently married women ages 18–25 in Nepal. Surveys conducted every six months over 18 months covered various health domains. The study used mixed-effects logistic regression models to account for repeated measurement of correlated data over time. The primary outcome was pregnancy. Pregnancy intention was determined based on responses to, “When would you like to have a child in case you were to have one?” Participants were recategorized into a dichotomous variable for analytical purposes: “Right away” or “Not right away.”

Results

A total of 133 participants became pregnant during the study, with sociodemographic characteristics showing minimal differences between pregnant and nonpregnant groups. Women intending to become pregnant right away had significantly higher odds of becoming pregnant (OR, 4.03; 95% CI, 2.51–6.48) after adjusting for covariates. Among those not intending immediate pregnancy, over 70% became pregnant, suggesting potential barriers to achieving reproductive goals.

Conclusions

Young, newly married women in Nepal intending immediate pregnancy have higher odds of becoming pregnant. However, a substantial proportion of those hoping to delay pregnancy still experience unintended pregnancies, indicating challenges in meeting reproductive goals. The findings underscore the need for addressing barriers to contraceptive access and societal norms impacting women's reproductive autonomy in Nepal.
背景:大约44%的尼泊尔15-49岁妇女希望避免怀孕,不使用现代避孕药具,导致每年估计有53.9万例意外怀孕。目的:本研究旨在探讨年轻、新婚女性怀孕意向与后续怀孕的关系。研究设计:从尼泊尔200名18-25岁的新婚妇女中纵向收集数据。在18个月内每6个月进行一次调查,涉及各个卫生领域。该研究使用混合效应逻辑回归模型来解释相关数据随时间的重复测量。主要结局是怀孕。怀孕意向是根据以下问题的回答来确定的:“如果你想要孩子的话,你打算什么时候要?”为了分析目的,参与者被重新分类为两个变量:“马上”或“不是马上”。结果:共有133名参与者在研究期间怀孕,其社会人口学特征显示怀孕组和未怀孕组之间的差异很小。打算立即怀孕的女性怀孕的几率明显更高(OR, 4.03;95% CI, 2.51-6.48)。在不打算立即怀孕的人中,超过70%的人怀孕了,这表明实现生殖目标存在潜在障碍。结论:尼泊尔年轻的新婚妇女打算立即怀孕的几率更高。然而,很大一部分希望推迟怀孕的人仍然遭遇意外怀孕,这表明在实现生殖目标方面存在挑战。调查结果强调,有必要解决影响尼泊尔妇女生殖自主权的避孕药具获取障碍和社会规范。

Congenital portosystemic shunt is a rare condition in which communications between the systemic venous circulation and the portal veins drain blood directly into the systemic circulation. Diagnosis may occur from the prenatal period to adulthood. Nevertheless, diagnosing and treating a congenital portosystemic shunt, particularly in the perinatal stage, remain challenging, as multiple complications can occur. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of 3 cases of congenital portosystemic shunts diagnosed during pregnancy or the neonatal period, the diagnostic procedures, and their outcomes. This study reported 3 cases of full-term newborns with a congenital portosystemic shunt diagnosed at neonatal age. Case 1 was antenatally diagnosed with a congenital portosystemic shunt, which was confirmed postnatally via computed tomography and was associated with malformed ductus venosus and hypoplasia of the right portal vein. Cases 2 and 3 were siblings: a boy who had diffuse hemangiomatosis and a congenital portosystemic shunt complicated with severe persistent pulmonary hypertension and a girl who presented with a congenital portosystemic shunt and Kell alloimmunization. Congenital portosystemic shunts can be detected on prenatal ultrasounds during the etiologic workup of one of its complications or may be incidentally identified later in life. Children with congenital portosystemic shunts may develop various biological abnormalities, such as pulmonary hypertension, hypoxemia, encephalopathy, and liver tumors. A multidisciplinary approach and standardized protocols are required to optimize the management of congenital portosystemic shunts and minimize the short- and long-term consequences of congenital portosystemic shunts.
先天性门静脉分流是一种罕见的疾病,全身静脉循环和门静脉之间的沟通将血液直接排入全身循环。从出生前到成年期都有可能被诊断出来。然而,先天性门静脉分流的诊断和治疗,尤其是围产期的诊断和治疗,仍然具有挑战性,因为可能会出现多种并发症。本研究旨在描述 3 例在孕期或新生儿期诊断出的先天性门静脉分流的临床特征、诊断程序及其结果。本研究报告了 3 例在新生儿期诊断出患有先天性门静脉分流的足月新生儿。病例 1 出生前被诊断为先天性门静脉分流,出生后经计算机断层扫描确诊,并伴有畸形静脉导管和右门静脉发育不良。病例 2 和病例 3 是同胞兄弟姐妹:男孩患有弥漫性血管瘤病和先天性门静脉分流,并伴有严重的持续性肺动脉高压;女孩患有先天性门静脉分流和凯尔同种免疫。先天性门静脉分流可在产前超声波检查中发现,也可在并发症的病因检查中偶然发现。患有先天性门静脉分流的儿童可能会出现各种生理异常,如肺动脉高压、低氧血症、脑病和肝脏肿瘤。要优化先天性门静脉分流的管理,并最大限度地减少先天性门静脉分流的短期和长期后果,就需要采用多学科方法和标准化方案。

Background

Neighborhood disadvantage, a social driver of health (SDOH), has been associated with adverse perinatal outcomes; yet little is known about its association with anesthetic choice.

Objective

The purpose of this study is to assess the association of neighborhood disadvantage and anesthetic choice for cesarean deliveries. We hypothesize that people from the most disadvantaged neighborhoods are more likely to receive general anesthesia for cesarean deliveries compared to those from the most advantaged neighborhoods.

Study design

This single-center retrospective cohort study identified index cesarean deliveries performed between 2008 and 2017. People were categorized into no, low, moderate, and high disadvantage neighborhood using the area deprivation index. The odds of receiving general anesthesia versus neuraxial anesthesia (epidural, spinal, or combined spinal-epidural) were compared using logistic regression models.

Results

Of the 16,351 people with cesarean deliveries, 96.0% received neuraxial versus 4.0% general anesthesia. The rates of general anesthesia were 6.3%, 4.2%, 3.1%, and 2.4% for the high, moderate, low, and no disadvantage groups (P<.001), respectively. Indications for general anesthesia by obstetric indication were different by neighborhood disadvantage (P<.001), but no differences were observed by contraindications of neuraxial anesthesia (P=.091). Compared to the no disadvantage group, the high disadvantage group had higher odds of general anesthesia (aOR 2.0, 95% CI (1.5 to 2.7), P<.001). Results were unchanged after evaluating people in labor only.

Conclusions

People from disadvantaged neighborhoods are more likely to receive general anesthesia for cesarean deliveries, even after considering clinical features. The general anesthesia rate is a meaningful benchmark in obstetric anesthesia that may contribute to disparities.
背景邻里劣势是健康的社会驱动因素(SDOH),与不良围产期结局有关;但人们对其与麻醉选择的关系知之甚少。研究目的本研究旨在评估邻里劣势与剖宫产麻醉选择的关系。我们假设,与来自最有利社区的人相比,来自最不利社区的人更有可能在剖宫产时接受全身麻醉。研究设计这项单中心回顾性队列研究确定了 2008 年至 2017 年期间进行的指数剖宫产。采用地区剥夺指数将患者分为无、低、中、高贫困社区。使用逻辑回归模型比较了接受全身麻醉与神经麻醉(硬膜外麻醉、脊髓麻醉或脊髓-硬膜外联合麻醉)的几率。结果 在16351名剖宫产患者中,96.0%接受了神经麻醉,4.0%接受了全身麻醉。高、中、低和无劣势组的全身麻醉率分别为 6.3%、4.2%、3.1% 和 2.4%(P< .001)。按产科指征划分的全身麻醉指征因邻里劣势而异(P<.001),但按神经麻醉禁忌症划分则无差异(P=.091)。与无不利条件组相比,高度不利条件组采用全身麻醉的几率更高(aOR 2.0,95% CI (1.5 至 2.7),P< .001)。结论即使考虑了临床特征,来自贫困地区的人在剖宫产时接受全身麻醉的几率也更高。全身麻醉率是产科麻醉中一个有意义的基准,可能会造成差异。

Background

Interbirth interval (IBI), the time between consecutive births, has been tied to perinatal outcomes.

Objective

To analyze adverse perinatal events following short IBI in a large South American sample.

Study design

Observational, retrospective, hospital-based study including malformed and nonmalformed live- and stillbirths. Outcomes were preterm birth (PTB), low birth weight (LBW), and specific birth defects. Logistic regressions were used to evaluate the risk of selected variables for short IBI and for adverse outcomes after short IBI, adjusting by confounders. Bayesian networks exhibited relationships among short IBI, outcomes, and variables.

Results

Short IBI rate was 2%–3%. Maternal age and a previous abortion were the main confounders. A significant high risk for short IBI was found in mothers ≤19 years while mothers ≥30 were at low risk, mediated by a previous abortion. The risk of short IBI, adjusted by confounders, was significant for LBW but not for PTB. An unadjusted risk of short IBI was observed for gastroschisis, which disappeared after adjusting for confounders. Maternal age ≤19 and previous abortion were directly related with gastroschisis; the relationship between gastroschisis and short IBI occurred through any of these two variables. A direct relationship between gastroschisis and maternal age ≥30 was observed.

Conclusions

Only young mothers were directly related with short IBI. In older mothers, a short IBI mainly occurred after a previous abortion. Short IBI was a risk factor only for LBW. The PTB and gastroschisis relationship with short IBI was indirect, mediated by young maternal age and/or a previous abortion.
研究设计观察性、回顾性、基于医院的研究,包括畸形和非畸形活产和死产。研究结果包括早产(PTB)、低出生体重(LBW)和特殊出生缺陷。在对混杂因素进行调整后,使用逻辑回归评估了选定变量对短时间内转运和短时间内转运后不良结局的风险。贝叶斯网络显示了短时IBI、结果和变量之间的关系。产妇年龄和流产是主要的混杂因素。年龄小于 19 岁的母亲发生短 IBI 的风险明显较高,而年龄大于 30 岁的母亲发生短 IBI 的风险较低,这与曾有过人工流产有关。经混杂因素调整后,脐带绕颈症发生短IBI的风险显著,而先天性脑瘫发生短IBI的风险则不显著。未调整的胃畸形有短IBI风险,调整混杂因素后,该风险消失。孕产妇年龄≤19 岁和曾有过人工流产与胃裂直接相关;胃裂与短内径间的关系通过这两个变量中的任何一个发生。结论只有年轻母亲与 IBI 短直接相关。在年龄较大的母亲中,IBI过短主要发生在流产之后。内径短仅是低体重儿的一个风险因素。PTB和胃畸形与短IBI的关系是间接的,由年轻母亲的年龄和/或之前的人工流产介导。

<div><h3>Background</h3><div>Prior studies evaluating the relationship between psychopharmacotherapy (PPT), and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) have yielded inconsistent findings. Clarifying this potential relationship is important for effective counseling and risk stratification.</div></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><div>Our primary objective was to evaluate the association between prenatal exposure to PPT (any drug class) and the occurrence of PPH requiring transfusion of packed red blood cells (PPH+pRBC) after systematically adjusting for known hemorrhage risk factors at the time of admission for delivery. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the association between individual PPT drug classes and PPH+pRBC, and the association between treatment intensity of mental health condition and PPH+pRBC. Finally, we evaluated the association between PPT and a broader definition of PPH that included deliveries requiring multiple uterotonic drugs.</div></div><div><h3>Study design</h3><div>This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of all pregnancies delivered at 23 weeks of gestational age or greater at seven hospitals within a large academic health system in New York between January 2019 and December 2022. There were no exclusion criteria, as postpartum hemorrhage risk assessment is necessary for all patients admitted for delivery. We assessed exposure to prenatal PPT, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs: escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs: duloxetine, venlafaxine), dopamine-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (DNRIs: buproprion), benzodiazepines (alprazolam, diazepam, lorazepam), and others (buspirone, trazodone, zolpidem). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to evaluate the relationship between PPT and PPH+pRBC, while systematically adjusting for known hemorrhage risk factors at the time of hospital admission. Similar regression analyses were performed to address the secondary objectives.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>A total of 107,425 deliveries were included. Non-Hispanic White patients constituted the largest race and ethnicity group (43.4%), followed by Hispanic patients (18.7%), Asian or Pacific Islander patients (13.2%), and non-Hispanic Black patients (12.3%). Prenatal exposure to PPT occurred in 3.6% of pregnancies (<em>n</em>=3,834). The overall rate of PPH+pRBC was 2.9% (<em>n</em>=3,162). PPH+pRBC occurred more frequently in pregnancies exposed to PPT than in pregnancies which were not exposed (5.5% vs. 2.8%, respectively; aOR 2.10, 95% CI: 1.79–2.44). SSRIs and benzodiazepine monotherapy were each associated with higher odds of PPH+pRBC than nonexposure. Compared to patients without a mental health condition, monotherapy was associated with nearly 2-fold increased odds and combination PPT was associated with nearly 4-fold greater odds of PPH+pRBC after adjustment for confounding variables (monotherapy: aOR 1.94, 95% CI: 1.64–2.28; combination PPT:
背景评估精神药物治疗(PPT)与产后出血(PPH)之间关系的先前研究得出了不一致的结论。我们的首要目标是评估在系统调整入院分娩时已知的出血风险因素后,产前接触 PPT(任何药物类别)与需要输注包装红细胞(PPH+pRBC)的 PPH 发生率之间的关系。次要目标是评估个别 PPT 药物类别与 PPH+pRBC 之间的关联,以及精神健康状况的治疗强度与 PPH+pRBC 之间的关联。最后,我们评估了PPT与更广泛的PPH定义(包括需要多种子宫收缩药物的分娩)之间的关联。研究设计这是一项回顾性横断面研究,研究对象为2019年1月至2022年12月期间在纽约一家大型学术医疗系统内的七家医院分娩的胎龄23周或以上的所有孕妇。没有排除标准,因为所有入院分娩的患者都需要进行产后出血风险评估。我们评估了产前 PPT 的暴露情况,包括选择性 5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂(SSRIs:艾司西酞普兰、氟西汀、舍曲林)、5-羟色胺-去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂(SNRIs:度洛西汀、文拉西汀)、5-羟色胺-去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂(SSRIs:艾司西酞普兰、氟西汀、舍曲林):多巴胺-去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂(DNRIs:buproprion)、苯二氮卓类(阿普唑仑、地西泮、劳拉西泮)和其他药物(丁螺环酮、曲唑酮、唑吡坦)。在对入院时已知的出血风险因素进行系统调整的同时,还进行了多变量逻辑回归,以评估 PPT 与 PPH+pRBC 之间的关系。针对次要目标也进行了类似的回归分析。非西班牙裔白人患者是最大的种族和民族群体(43.4%),其次是西班牙裔患者(18.7%)、亚裔或太平洋岛民患者(13.2%)和非西班牙裔黑人患者(12.3%)。产前接触 PPT 的孕妇占 3.6%(n=3,834)。PPH+pRBC的总发生率为2.9%(n=3,162)。与未接触 PPT 的孕妇相比,接触 PPT 的孕妇发生 PPH+pRBC 的频率更高(分别为 5.5% 对 2.8%;aOR 2.10,95% CI:1.79-2.44)。与未接触PPT的孕妇相比,SSRIs和苯二氮卓类药物单药治疗的孕妇发生PPH+pRBC的几率更高。与没有精神健康问题的患者相比,在对混杂变量进行调整后,单药治疗导致 PPH+pRBC 的几率增加近 2 倍,而联合 PPT 导致 PPH+pRBC 的几率增加近 4 倍(单药治疗:aOR 1.94,95% CI:1.64-2.28;联合 PPT:aOR 3.96,95% CI:2.61-5.79)。与无精神健康问题的患者相比,有精神健康问题但未接受治疗的患者(无 PTT)发生 PPH+pRBC 的几率没有增加。最后,在对协变量进行调整后发现,PPT 与需要输注 pRBC 的 PPH 和/或在常规产后催产素之外额外使用两种子宫收缩剂之间存在正相关(aOR 1.53,95% CI:1.35-1.73)。与单药治疗相比,联合 PPT 与 PPH+pRBC 的几率更大相关。
