Furosemide is a potent loop diuretic commonly and variably used by neonatologists to improve oxygenation and lung compliance in premature infants. There are several safety concerns with use of furosemide in premature infants, specifically the risk of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), and nephrocalcinosis/nephrolithiasis (NC/NL). We conducted a systematic review of all trials and observational studies examining the association between these outcomes with exposure to furosemide in premature infants. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and clinicaltrials.gov. We included studies reporting either SNHL or NC/NL in premature infants (< 37 weeks completed gestational age) who received at least one dose of enteral or intravenous furosemide. Thirty-two studies met full inclusion criteria for the review, including 12 studies examining SNHL and 20 studies examining NC/NL. Only one randomized controlled trial was identified in this review. We found no evidence that furosemide exposure increases the risk of SNHL or NC/NL in premature infants, with varying quality of studies and found the strength of evidence for both outcomes to be low. The most common limitation in these studies was the lack of control for confounding factors. The evidence for the risk of SNHL and NC/NL in premature infants exposed to furosemide is low. Further randomized controlled trials of furosemide in premature infants are urgently needed to adequately assess the risk of SNHL and NC/NL, provide evidence for improved FDA labeling, and promote safer prescribing practices.

Background: Preterm birth alters the normal sequence of lactogenesis. Lactogenesis I may not yet have started when mothers of very preterm infants (≤ 29 weeks gestation) have given birth. Preterm infants are too small or too ill to initiate suckling in the immediate postpartum period thus altering the normal cascade of event for lactogenesis II. With an increasing demand for mother's own milk as a primary source of nutritional support in the care of very small and preterm infants, mothers of these infants are often at risk of expressing inadequate amounts of milk. The use of galactogogues is often considered when mothers of preterm infants are still having challenges in breast milk production. What is not clear in the literature is the role that pregnancy gestation at birth plays in successful response to galactogogues. Our objective for this study was to evaluate the role of pregnancy gestation at birth on a mother's response to the treatment interventions in the EMPOWER trial.
Methods: For this analysis, the study participants are the 90 mothers who participated in the EMPOWER trial and were in the stratified in two gestational age groups, 230/7-266/7 weeks and 270/7-296/7 weeks at the time of randomization. The primary outcome measures were the proportion of mothers in each of the gestational age groupings who achieved a 50% increase in breast milk volume on day 14 and day 28 of the study treatment period.
Results: On day 14 of the study treatment, there was no significant difference in the proportion of mothers in the 23-26 weeks gestation group (72.9%) compared to those in the 27-29 weeks gestation group (64.2%), OR 1.51 (95% CI 0.60, 3.78; p = 0.38). Similarly, there was no difference in the proportion of mothers between the two gestational age groupings on day 28 of the study treatment, 70.3% compared to 62.3%, OR 1.43 (95% CI 0.58, 3.51; p = 0.43).
Conclusion: This secondary analysis was able to demonstrate that mothers of very preterm infants, < 30 weeks gestation at birth, were able to respond to the study treatment in a similar fashion regardless of gestation at birth. If non-pharmacologic approaches are unsuccessful, then a 14-day treatment of domperidone may be considered to enhance breast milk production, even in the lowest gestational ages at delivery.
Trial registration: EMPOWER has been registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (identifier NCT 01512225) on January 10, 2012.
背景:早产改变了正常的乳生成顺序。当极早产儿(≤29周妊娠)的母亲分娩时,乳发生I可能尚未开始。早产儿太小或病得太重,不能在产后立即开始哺乳,从而改变了正常的乳发生II级联事件。随着对母乳的需求日益增加,作为照顾幼小婴儿和早产儿的主要营养支持来源,这些婴儿的母亲往往面临乳汁量不足的风险。当早产婴儿的母亲在母乳生产方面仍有困难时,通常会考虑使用催乳剂。在文献中尚不清楚的是,在出生时怀孕对催乳剂的成功反应所起的作用。我们本研究的目的是评估在EMPOWER试验中,出生时怀孕对母亲对治疗干预反应的作用。方法:在本分析中,研究参与者是参加EMPOWER试验的90名母亲,在随机分组时分为两个胎龄组,230/7-266/7周和270/7-296/7周。主要结局指标是在研究治疗期的第14天和第28天,每个胎龄组中母乳量增加50%的母亲比例。结果:在研究治疗的第14天,妊娠23-26周组的母亲比例(72.9%)与妊娠27-29周组的母亲比例(64.2%)无显著差异,OR为1.51 (95% CI 0.60, 3.78;p = 0.38)。同样,在研究治疗的第28天,两个胎龄组的母亲比例没有差异,分别为70.3%和62.3%,OR为1.43 (95% CI 0.58, 3.51;p = 0.43)。试验注册:EMPOWER已于2012年1月10日在www.clinicaltrials.gov(标识符NCT 01512225)上注册。

Background: About three in ten young women aged 15-19 have begun childbearing among the Zambian population, with adolescent pregnancy levels as high as 35% in rural areas. In 2009, Luapula reported 32.1% adolescent pregnancies. The study sought to investigate obstetric and perinatal outcomes among adolescents compared to mothers aged 20-24 years delivering at selected health facilities in Kawambwa and Mansa districts of Luapula.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out of all deliveries to mothers aged between 10 and 24 years for the period January 2012 to January 2013. A total of 2795 antenatal and delivery records were reviewed; 1291 adolescent mothers and 1504 mothers aged 20-24 years. Crude and adjusted odds ratios for the association between maternal age and adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes were obtained using logistic regression models.
Results: The mean age of the adolescent mothers was 17.5 years. Mothers younger than 20 years faced a higher risk for eclampsia, anaemia, haemorrhage, Cephalopelvic disproportion, prolonged labour and caesarean section. After adjustment for potential confounders, the association between maternal age and adverse obstetric and perinatal outcome diminished. Children born to mothers younger than 20 were at increased risk for low birth weight, pre-term delivery, low Apgar score and neonatal death; the risk for asphyxia, however, tended to increase with age.
Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that adolescent pregnancy increases the risk of adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes. High rates of adolescent pregnancies in Luapula province are likely as a result of the predominantly rural and poor population. Understanding the factors that contribute to the high levels of adolescent pregnancy in the region will be vital in addressing the situation and subsequently reducing the high obstetric and perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Background: Postpartum maternal morbidity is maternal illness that occurs after one hour of expulsion of placenta up to six weeks of childbirth. Though the true burden of this problem is not well known estimates of WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA showed that 1.4 million women experience acute obstetric morbidity annually. Knowledge of magnitude and predicting factors postpartum morbidity is central to understand the extent of the problem and will help as a cornerstone in designing and implementing better preventive strategies.
Objectives: To assess the magnitude and factors associated with postpartum morbidity in public health institutions in Debre Markos town.
Method: Institutional based cross sectional study was conducted in Debre Markos town public health institutions by reviewing delivery charts, delivery records and reporting log books. Total deliveries in each health institution in the previous year were identified and number of records to be included from each institution was determined by probability proportion to size. Systematic sampling technique was employed to select 308 charts for review. Data was collected by trained midwifes using structured checklist; entered by epi info and analyzed using SPSS 20. To present findings descriptive statistics using frequencies, charts and figures were used accordingly. Finally binary and multiple logistic regressions were performed to identify predicting factors.
Results: The magnitude of postpartum morbidity was found to be 101(32.8%). Divorced/widowed women [AOR = 10.920, 95% CI: (2.168, 54.998)], women who didn't have ANC follow up [AOR = 3.710, 95% CI: (1.749, 7.870)], abnormal labour [AOR =3.496, 95% CI: (1.69, 7.22)], women delivered by doctor [AOR =0.111, 95% CI: (0.027, 0.454)] and women who were not attended postpartum visit [AOR =0.088, 95% CI: (0.040, 0.194)] were the factors associated with postpartum maternal morbidity.
Conclusion: Maternal morbidity in Debre Markos health institution was found to be major maternal health issue. Being divorced/widowed, absence of ANC visit, intrapartum abnormalities, delivery attended by skilled professionals and no post-partum visit were important predictors of maternal postpartum morbidity.

Background: To achieve recommended nutrient intakes in preterm infants, the target fortification method of human milk (HM) was proposed as an alternative to standard fortification method. We aimed to compare assumed energy and macronutrient intakes based on standard fortified HM with actual intakes relying on measured composition of human milk (HM), in a cohort of HM-fed very preterm infants.
Methods: This study is a secondary retrospective analysis, in which assumed energy and macronutrient contents of daily pools of own mother's milk (OMM) from 33 mothers and donated HM (DHM) delivered to infants were compared with the measured values using a mid-infrared HM analyzer. A fortification method consisting of modular protein and/or fat supplements added to standard fortified HM was used to provide the minimum recommended daily intakes of energy 110 Kcal/kg and protein up to 4.0 g/kg. Assumed nutrient intakes were compared with actual nutrient intakes from full enteral feeding to 35 weeks plus 6 days postmenstrual age, using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed ranks test.
Results: The composition of 1181 samples of daily pools of HM were measured. For 90.2% of study days, infants were exclusively fed OMM and in remaining days fed OMM plus DHM. Comparing with reported preterm OMM composition, measured protein concentration was significantly lower, and energy and other macronutrient concentrations were lower only from the second to third postnatal week. Using fortified HM, the actual median daily intakes of energy, protein, and fat were significantly lower (113.3 vs. 120.7 Kcal/kg, 4.45 vs. 4.73 g/kg, and 4.96 vs. 5.35 g/kg, respectively) and the actual protein-to-energy ratio (PER) significantly higher than what was assumed (4.2 vs. 4.0), without differences in carbohydrate intake.
Conclusions: When fortifying the HM, we used conservative target intakes trying not to exceed the osmolarity recommended for infant feeds. Actual energy, protein and fat intakes in OMM were significantly lower than assumed. This resulted in inadequate intake using our fortification method, that did not compensate the suboptimal measured energy and macronutrient contents of OMM delivered. Further studies comparing assumed with the gold standard target fortification are needed to determine safe upper limits of assumed fortification.
背景:为了达到早产儿推荐的营养摄入量,提出了人乳目标强化方法(HM)作为标准强化方法的替代方法。我们的目的是比较基于标准强化母乳的假定能量和常量营养素摄入量与基于测量的母乳成分(HM)的实际摄入量,在一组用强化母乳喂养的早产儿中。方法:本研究采用二次回顾性分析的方法,采用中红外HM分析仪对33名母亲每日母乳(OMM)和捐赠母乳(DHM)的假定能量和常量营养素含量与实测值进行比较。采用一种由模块化蛋白质和/或脂肪补充剂组成的强化方法添加到标准强化HM中,以提供每日最低推荐摄入量110千卡/公斤的能量和高达4.0克/公斤的蛋白质。假设的营养摄入量与实际的营养摄入量进行比较,从完全肠内喂养到35周加上月经后6天,使用Wilcoxon配对对签名秩检验。结果:测定了1181个HM日池样品的组成。在90.2%的研究天数中,婴儿只喂OMM,其余天数喂OMM加DHM。与报道的早产儿OMM组成相比,测得的蛋白质浓度显著降低,能量和其他宏量营养素浓度仅在出生后第二至第三周降低。使用强化HM,能量、蛋白质和脂肪的实际中位数每日摄入量显著降低(分别为113.3 vs. 120.7 Kcal/kg, 4.45 vs. 4.73 g/kg, 4.96 vs. 5.35 g/kg),实际蛋白质能量比(PER)显著高于假设值(4.2 vs. 4.0),而碳水化合物摄入量没有差异。结论:当强化HM时,我们使用保守的目标摄入量,尽量不超过婴儿饲料推荐的渗透压。OMM的实际能量、蛋白质和脂肪摄入量明显低于假设。这导致使用我们的强化方法摄入不足,这并不能补偿OMM交付的次优测量能量和常量营养素含量。需要进一步的研究来比较假设和金标准目标强化,以确定假设强化的安全上限。

Background: Under nutrition is a worldwide public health problem affecting the well-being of millions of pregnant women in the developing world. Only limited research has been conducted on the prevalence and determinants of maternal nutritional status in Ethiopia. Particularly, data on the nutritional status of pregnant women are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and determinants of undernutrition among pregnant women attending antenatal care at the University of Gondar Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia.
Methods: An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted in January and February 2016. Randomly selected 409 pregnant women were included in the study. Nutritional status was estimated using mid-upper-arm circumference. Data on potential determinants of undernutrition were gathered using a structured questionnaire. The blood sample was collected to analyze hemoglobin. The stool sample was collected to identify intestinal parasitic infections. Statistical analysis was done using logistic regression. P-value < 0.05 at 95% confidence interval was considered as statistically significant.
Results: The prevalence of undernutrition among pregnant women was 16.2% (95% CI: 12.4-20.1%). Using a logistic regression model, factors significantly associated with the undernutrition were living in rural areas (AOR = 2.26), low educational status [no formal education (AOR = 2.91), primary education (AOR = 2.69)], history of too many births (AOR = 2.55), anemia (AOR = 2.01), and intestinal parasitic infection (AOR = 2.73).
Conclusion: The study findings provide evidence for the public health significance of under nutrition among pregnant women in the study area. The problem must be combated through rural livelihood promotion, socioeconomic empowerment of women, sustained nutrition education and expansion of family-planning services in the area.

Background: Unintended pregnancies increase levels of stress, adoption of risky behaviours and impact on women's general quality of life. In Ghana, in spite of the paucity of literature on unintended pregnancies, the phenomenon is high especially among women in the early years of their reproductive health. This study therefore sought to investigate the prevalence and correlates of unintended pregnancies in Ghana.
Methods: This study made use of data from the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey. Descriptive statistics were conducted whereby prevalence of unintended pregnancy was presented in proportions. This was followed by binary logistic regression to investigate correlates associated with unintended pregnancy.
Results: Descriptively, unintended pregnancies were high among women aged 15-19 years (69.4%), unmarried women (45.1%) and non-working women (40.0%). Factors found to be associated with the phenomenon were age, parity and level of education. The binary logistic regression revealed that women in middle wealth category were 1.42 times more probable of having unintended pregnancy than poor women whilst rich women were less likely to experience unintended pregnancy [OR = 0.89, CI = 0.35-0.79] as compared to poor women. Again, urban women were more likely to experience unintended pregnancies as compared rural women [OR = 1.39, CI = 0.86-1.95].
Conclusion: The study has indicated that specific interventions must be targeted at different categories of women. The Reproductive and Child Health unit of the Ghana Health Service ought to collaborate with non-governmental organisations to intensify access to well-tailored family planning services among adolescents and young women, women out of marriage and the non-working category.
背景:意外怀孕增加压力水平,采取危险行为并影响妇女的总体生活质量。在加纳,尽管关于意外怀孕的文献很少,但这种现象很高,特别是在生殖健康初期的妇女中。因此,本研究旨在调查加纳意外怀孕的患病率及其相关因素。方法:本研究利用2014年加纳人口与健康调查数据。进行了描述性统计,其中意外怀孕的流行率按比例呈现。随后进行了二元逻辑回归,以调查与意外怀孕相关的因素。结果:15-19岁女性意外妊娠发生率较高(69.4%),未婚女性意外妊娠发生率较高(45.1%),非工作女性意外妊娠发生率较高(40.0%)。与这一现象相关的因素有年龄、性别平等和教育水平。二元logistic回归显示,中等财富女性意外怀孕的可能性是贫困女性的1.42倍,而富裕女性意外怀孕的可能性比贫困女性低[OR = 0.89, CI = 0.35-0.79]。同样,与农村妇女相比,城市妇女更有可能经历意外怀孕[OR = 1.39, CI = 0.86-1.95]。结论:研究表明,具体的干预措施必须针对不同类别的妇女。加纳卫生服务局的生殖和儿童保健股应与非政府组织合作,加强青少年和年轻妇女、未婚妇女和非工作妇女获得量身定制的计划生育服务的机会。

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is a leading risk factor for infant morbidity and mortality in the United States. There are large disparities in the prevalence of LBW by race and ethnicity, especially between African American and White women. Despite extensive research, the practice of clinical and public health, and policies devoted to reducing the number of LBW infants, the prevalence of LBW has remained unacceptably and consistently high. There have been few detailed studies identifying the factors associated with LBW in California, which is home to a highly diverse population. The aim of this study is to investigate recent trends in the prevalence of LBW infants (measured as a percentage) and to identify risk factors and disparities associated with LBW in California.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study included data on 5,267,519 births recorded in the California Birth Statistical Master Files for the period 2005-2014. These data included maternal characteristics, health behaviors, information on health insurance, prenatal care use, and parity. Logistic regression models identified significant risk factors associated with LBW. Using gestational age based on obstetric estimates (OA), small for gestational age (SGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) infants were identified for the periods 2007-2014.
Results: The number of LBW infants declined, from 37,603 in 2005 to 33,447 in 2014. However, the prevalence of LBW did not change significantly (6.9% in 2005 to 6.7% in 2014). The mean maternal age at first delivery increased from 25.7 years in 2005 to 27.2 years in 2014. The adjusted odds ratio showed that women aged 40 to 54 years were twice as likely to have an LBW infant as women in the 20 to 24 age group. African American women had a persistent 2.4-fold greater prevalence of having an LBW infant compared with white women. Maternal age was a significant risk factor for LBW regardless of maternal race and ethnicity or education level. During the period 2017-2014, 5.4% of the singleton births at 23-41 weeks based on OE of gestational age were SGA infants (preterm SGA + term SGA). While all the preterm SGA infants were LBW, both preterm AGA and term SGA infants had a higher prevalence of LBW.
Conclusions: In California, during the 10 years from 2005 to 2014, there was no significant decline in the prevalence of LBW. However, maternal age was a significant risk factor for LBW regardless of maternal race and ethnicity or education level. Therefore, there may be opportunities to reduce the prevalence of LBW by reducing disparities and improving birth outcomes for women of advanced maternal age.

Background: The International Safe Motherhood initiative provides a focus for programmes and research to improve maternal health in low - income countries. Antenatal care is one of the key pillars of the initiative. This study sought to examine the association between background characteristics and choice of skilled providers of antenatal care services in Ghana.
Methods: The study used data from the six rounds of the Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS). Binary logistic regression models were applied to analyse the data.
Results: Results show that the proportion of women who received antenatal care (ANC) services from skilled providers improved over the period. Also, women with secondary education (OR = 1.42, CI = 1.07-1.88), richest wealth status (OR = 5.10, CI = 2.28-11.85) were more likely to utilise antenatal care services from skilled providers. Whereas women from rural areas (OR = 0.55, CI = 0.41-0.74), with four births or more (OR = 0.55, CI = 0.36-0.85) and from the northern ethnic group were less likely to utilise antenatal care services from skilled providers.
Conclusion: Choice of skilled providers of antenatal care services were predicted by some predisposing factors including education, ethnicity, and ecological zone. Also enabling factors such as wealth status, residence and the need for care factor, parity predicted choice of skilled providers of antenatal care services. Women with secondary or higher education, those within richer and richest wealth status, those from forest zone are more likely to utilise the services of skilled providers during their antenatal care visits. Whereas women from rural areas, those with four births or more and those with the northern ethnic group were more likely to utilise ANC service from unskilled providers. The Ghana Health Service and Ministry of Health should encourage women in rural areas to utilise antenatal care services from skilled providers through social and behaviour change communication campaigns.

Background: Delayed cord clamping (DCC) results in decreased iron deficiency in infancy. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has called for research on the optimal time to clamp the cord during cesarean deliveries (CD). Our objective was to conduct a pilot trial examining the safety of delayed cord clamping (DCC) for maternal-infant dyads during elective cesarean delivery (CD).
Methods: We enrolled 39 dyads [23 at 90 s, 16 at 120 s; (DCC Pilot)] between 10/2013 and 9/2014. We abstracted data from the electronic medical record (EMR) for historical controls (HC) birthing between 1/2012-6/2013 for whom DCC was not performed (n = 112).
Results: Available data for 37 mothers and 30 infants compared to HC revealed 174 (95% CI: 61-286) mL lower mean estimated maternal blood loss [(EBL) mean (SD) mL]: DCC Pilot 691(218) vs. HC 864(442), p = 0.003 and lower incidence of maternal transfusions, DCC Pilot 2.7% vs. HC 18.8%, p = 0.016. There was no significant between group difference between DCC Pilot and HC in other a priori definitions of excess maternal blood loss: a) EBL > 800 ml, 21.6% vs. 38.8%, p = 0.07 or b) post-op hgb/pre-op hgb < 80%, 16.7% vs. 20.6%, p = 0.81. There were also no statistically significant between group differences in rates of NICU admission DCC Pilot 8.1% vs. HC 7.1%, p = 1.0., but there was a higher rate of newborn cold stress or hypothermia ≤36.2 °C in study subjects, DCC Pilot 27.0% vs. HC 11.9%, p = 0.038.Prevalence of newborn anemia was decreased [DCC pilot 3.3% (1 of 30) vs. HC 40.0% (4 of 10 infants with data), p = 0.012. No infants were polycythemic.
Conclusions: These pilot data suggest cord clamping can be delayed to 120 s during elective CD without increased risk of excessive maternal blood loss. More aggressive prevention of infant heat loss may be warranted. A randomized trial to evaluate long-term maternal and infant outcomes is indicated.
背景:延迟脐带夹紧(DCC)导致婴儿铁缺乏症减少。美国妇产科学院呼吁对剖宫产(CD)时夹紧脐带的最佳时间进行研究。我们的目的是进行一项试点试验,检查延迟脐带夹紧(DCC)在选择性剖宫产(CD)期间母子二人的安全性。方法:共入组39对[90 s 23对,120 s 16对;(DCC试点)]2013年10月至2014年9月。我们从2012年1月至2013年6月期间未进行DCC的历史对照(HC)分娩的电子病历(EMR)中提取数据(n = 112)。结果:与HC相比,37名母亲和30名婴儿的现有数据显示,产妇平均估计失血量(EBL)平均(SD) mL降低174 (95% CI: 61-286) mL: DCC Pilot 691(218)比HC 864(442), p = 0.003,产妇输血发生率降低,DCC Pilot 2.7%比HC 18.8%, p = 0.016。DCC Pilot和HC在母体失血过多的其他先验定义中组间无显著差异:a) EBL > 800 ml, 21.6%对38.8%,p = 0.07或b)术后hgb/术前hgb p = 0.81。两组间NICU入院率差异无统计学意义DCC Pilot 8.1% vs HC 7.1%, p = 1.0。但在研究对象中,新生儿冷应激或低温≤36.2°C的发生率较高,DCC Pilot为27.0%,HC为11.9%,p = 0.038。新生儿贫血患病率降低[DCC试点3.3% (1 / 30),HC试点40.0% (4 / 10),p = 0.012]。没有婴儿出现红细胞增多。结论:这些试点数据表明,在选择性CD期间,脐带夹紧可以延迟到120秒,而不会增加产妇失血过多的风险。更积极的预防婴儿热损失可能是必要的。一项随机试验,以评估长期产妇和婴儿的结果表明。试验注册:Clinical trials.gov, NCT02229162;注册日期:2014年9月1日。
