Background: Approximately 80% of people in Ethiopia live in rural areas, where poor access to maternity services, accounts for the majority of maternal and perinatal deaths. Maternity waiting homes are residential facilities for women who come from remote areas to stay and wait before giving birth at health facilities, particularly in hospitals and health centers. It is a new initiative and one of the strategies that increase skilled care utilization at birth. However, there is no evidence on the status of maternity waiting home utilization in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to generate evidence on the status of maternity waiting home utilization and its associated factors.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional household survey was conducted from June 5-30, 2022. The sample size was calculated using the single population proportion formula, which resulted in 354 participants. The study population included mothers who gave birth within 12 months before the survey were selected by using a systematic sampling method. The data were coded, edited, cleaned, and entered into Epi Data version 3.1. The data were subsequently exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Descriptive, bivariable, and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were performed. The results are presented in the text, figures, and tables. Finally, variables with a p value < 0.05 in the multivariable analysis were reported as significantly associated with the independent variables and outcome variable.

Results: The magnitude of maternity waiting home utilization was 36.4% (95% CI = 31.4, 41.8). Being knowledgeable about the presence of maternity waiting home (AOR = 3.9; 95% CI: 1.0-15.2), being able to afford transportation (AOR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.01-5.9), being home delivery (AOR = 0.007; 95% CI: 0.002-0.031) and being acess to transportation services (AOR = 3.0; 95% CI: 1.2-7.5) were significantly associated with maternity waiting home utilization.

Conclusion: The magnitude of maternity waiting home utilization in the study area was found to be low. Access to and affordability of transportation services, being knowledgeable and being home delivery were associated factors for the use of maternity waiting homes. Therefore, increasing maternal knowledge, economically empowering women and respecting care while waiting at maternity homes are important for improving the utilization of maternity waiting homes.

背景:埃塞俄比亚约有 80% 的人生活在农村地区,那里的孕产妇和围产期死亡人数占大多数。待产之家是供来自偏远地区的妇女在医疗机构(尤其是医院和医疗中心)分娩前逗留和等待的居住设施。这是一项新举措,也是提高分娩时熟练护理利用率的战略之一。然而,目前还没有证据表明研究地区待产之家的使用情况。因此,本研究旨在为待产之家的使用状况及其相关因素提供证据:方法:2022 年 6 月 5 日至 30 日开展了一项基于社区的横断面家庭调查。样本量采用单一人口比例公式计算,最终得出 354 名参与者。研究对象包括在调查前 12 个月内分娩的母亲,采用系统抽样法抽取。数据经过编码、编辑、清理后输入 Epi Data 3.1 版。随后将数据导出到 SPSS 25 版进行分析。对数据进行了描述性分析、双变量分析和多变量二元逻辑回归分析。结果显示在文本、图和表中。结果产妇待产室使用率为 36.4%(95% CI = 31.4,41.8)。了解待产室的存在(AOR = 3.9;95% CI:1.0-15.2)、负担得起交通费用(AOR = 2.4;95% CI:1.01-5.9)、在家中分娩(AOR = 0.007;95% CI:0.002-0.031)和获得交通服务(AOR = 3.0;95% CI:1.2-7.5)与待产室的使用率显著相关:结论:研究地区的待产室使用率较低。交通服务的可及性和可负担性、知识水平和在家分娩是使用待产室的相关因素。因此,增加孕产妇知识、赋予妇女经济权力以及尊重在产科医院待产期间的护理对于提高待产室的利用率非常重要。

Background: Satisfaction with birth and healthcare provider experiences have long-term effects for maternal health. Research has shown that mothers who report more trust, respect, and self-efficacy in their relationship with their healthcare providers are more likely to report positive birthing experiences. Further, individuals with obesity, including pregnant mothers, are more likely to experience weight-related stigma from healthcare providers which may negatively impact satisfaction with this relationship. Thus, the current study examines maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) as a moderator between birth and provider satisfaction.

Methods: A sample of 94 women (ages 16-38) were recruited during pregnancy. Participants completed surveys about their satisfaction with their birth experience, provider satisfaction, height, weight, and demographics including age and education. A moderation analysis was used to examine pre-pregnancy BMI as a moderator between birth and provider satisfaction.

Results: Results show that provider satisfaction is positively associated with birth satisfaction among mothers with moderate (overweight) to high (obese) pre-pregnancy BMI scores in our sample.

Conclusions: Findings suggest that strengthening the patient-provider relationship may promote satisfaction with birth experiences.

背景:对分娩和医疗服务提供者的满意度会对产妇的健康产生长期影响。研究表明,在与医疗服务提供者的关系中表现出更多信任、尊重和自我效能感的母亲更有可能报告积极的分娩经历。此外,包括孕妇在内的肥胖症患者更有可能从医疗服务提供者那里感受到与体重有关的耻辱,这可能会对这种关系的满意度产生负面影响。因此,本研究探讨了孕产妇孕前体重指数(BMI)在分娩和医疗服务提供者满意度之间的调节作用:方法:研究人员招募了 94 名孕期妇女(16-38 岁)。参与者填写了关于分娩经历满意度、医疗服务提供者满意度、身高、体重以及年龄和教育程度等人口统计学特征的调查问卷。使用调节分析来研究孕前体重指数在分娩和提供者满意度之间的调节作用:结果表明,在我们的样本中,孕前体重指数为中度(超重)至高度(肥胖)的母亲中,医疗服务提供者满意度与分娩满意度呈正相关:研究结果表明,加强患者与提供者之间的关系可提高分娩体验的满意度。

Experiences of abortion care in Australia: a qualitative study examining multiple dimensions of access. 澳大利亚的堕胎护理经验:一项定性研究,对获取堕胎护理的多个方面进行了审查。
IF 2.8 2区 医学 Q1 OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-07 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-024-06758-8

Background: The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals identify universal access to sexual and reproductive health services as a global priority. Yet barriers to abortion access remain, including legal restrictions, cost, stigma, and limited services and information. The aim was to identify barriers to and facilitators of abortion care access experienced in Australia.

Methods: This qualitative phenomenological study examined abortion access in Australia, where abortion is decriminalised, from March 2020 to December 2022. We used social media and flyers in clinics to recruit adults who had sought abortion care, then interviewed them in-depth. We mapped participant experiences to five dimensions of access identified by Levesque et al.'s patient-centred access to healthcare framework: approachability, acceptability, availability and accommodation, affordability, and appropriateness.

Results: The 24 participants lived across Australia and sought abortion during the COVID-19 pandemic. Approachability: Before seeking abortion, most did not know where to access information about the service and where to obtain it. Acceptability: Many were uncomfortable disclosing their abortion to family or friends; they reported that healthcare providers demonstrated varying levels of support. Availability and accommodation: Regional participants travelled far and faced long wait-times, exacerbated by pandemic restrictions. Affordability: Participants described financial stress paying for the service, travel, and related expenses. Appropriateness: Most participants expected judgemental care. Experiences varied widely: many participants experienced unempathetic, rushed, or judgemental interactions with healthcare staff, and many also reported at least one non-judgmental and supportive interaction on the same pathway to care.

Discussion: Abortion seekers experienced varying obstacles when seeking care. The findings illustrate the need for population- and system-level initiatives such as: providing accurate information about and normalising abortion; implementing system-level strategies to reduce wait times, travel, and costs, especially for rural populations; and developing regulatory and quality improvement initiatives to increase the workforce and its readiness to provide high-quality, non-judgemental abortion care. Challenges seeking care during pandemic restrictions illustrate the importance of social support during care and choice between abortion modalities and service types. Consumer voices can help understand the diverse pathways to abortion care and inform solutions to overcome the multidimensional barriers to access.

背景:联合国可持续发展目标将普及性健康和生殖健康服务确定为全球优先事项。然而,获得堕胎服务的障碍依然存在,包括法律限制、费用、耻辱感以及有限的服务和信息。本研究旨在确定澳大利亚人在获得堕胎护理方面遇到的障碍和促进因素:这项定性现象学研究调查了 2020 年 3 月至 2022 年 12 月期间澳大利亚的堕胎情况。我们利用社交媒体和诊所的传单招募寻求过堕胎护理的成年人,然后对他们进行了深入访谈。我们将参与者的经历与 Levesque 等人以患者为中心的医疗服务获取框架所确定的五个获取维度进行了对比:可接近性、可接受性、可用性和便利性、可负担性和适当性:24 名参与者居住在澳大利亚各地,在 COVID-19 大流行期间寻求堕胎。可接近性:在寻求人工流产之前,大多数人不知道从哪里可以获得有关服务的信息,也不知道从哪里可以获得服务。可接受性:许多人对向家人或朋友透露自己的堕胎经历感到不自在;他们报告称,医疗服务提供者提供了不同程度的支持。可用性和住宿:该地区的参与者路途遥远,面临漫长的等待时间,而大流行病的限制又加剧了这种情况。可负担性:参与者描述了支付服务、旅行和相关费用的经济压力。适当性:大多数参与者都期望得到有判断力的护理。经历差异很大:许多参与者经历了与医护人员的不同情、匆忙或评判性互动,许多人也报告了在同一护理途径中至少有一次非评判性和支持性互动:讨论:堕胎寻求者在寻求医疗服务时遇到了不同的障碍。研究结果表明,有必要采取人群和系统层面的措施,例如:提供有关堕胎的准确信息并使其正常化;实施系统层面的战略,以减少等待时间、旅行和费用,尤其是对农村人口而言;以及制定监管和质量改进措施,以增加劳动力,并使其做好提供高质量、不带偏见的堕胎护理的准备。在大流行限制期间寻求护理所面临的挑战说明了在护理期间获得社会支持以及在人工流产方式和服务类型之间进行选择的重要性。消费者的声音有助于了解获得人工流产护理的不同途径,并为克服获得护理的多层面障碍提供解决方案。

Background: Pregnancy is a time of great change for women, both mentally and physically. For any pregnant woman, this time of change can be difficult as the woman needs to constantly adapt to the rapidly changing body. This change could be especially challenging for a woman who has previously struggled with symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), which cause individuals to perceive part(s) of their body as particularly ugly or deformed, creating distress that affects several areas of functioning. These distorted perceptions have been associated with low self-reported functioning in physical and psychological areas. The present study assessed the effects of BDD symptoms on the physical and psychological functioning of pregnant women at different points throughout their pregnancy.

Methods: During July 2021 through April 2022, one hundred and fifty-eight women were recruited from various mothers' Facebook groups, women's centers across a city in Southern Texas, and through Prolific. The sample consisted of women in their first, second and third trimesters, as well as women three months postpartum. Information about the presence of BDD symptoms, quality of life, and body image was collected.

Results: We found that women in their second trimester possess the highest quality of life compared to women in their first trimester, third trimester or postpartum. Women with high BDD symptoms have lower quality of life and lower body image compared to women with low BDD, especially for those in their first or third trimesters.

Conclusions: These findings illustrate the necessity of targeted interventions and support for pregnant women, especially those with BDD symptoms, in order to promote their well-being throughout pregnancy and postpartum.

背景介绍怀孕对女性来说是一个身心都发生巨大变化的时期。对于任何一位孕妇来说,这一时期的变化都是困难的,因为她们需要不断适应快速变化的身体。身体畸形障碍(BDD)会导致患者认为自己身体的某些部位特别丑陋或畸形,从而产生困扰,影响多个方面的功能。这些扭曲的认知与自我报告的身体和心理功能低下有关。本研究评估了 BDD 症状对孕妇在整个孕期不同阶段的身体和心理功能的影响:在 2021 年 7 月至 2022 年 4 月期间,我们从各种母亲 Facebook 群组、德克萨斯州南部城市的妇女中心以及 Prolific 网站上招募了 158 名妇女。样本包括第一、第二和第三孕期的妇女以及产后三个月的妇女。我们收集了有关 BDD 症状、生活质量和身体形象的信息:结果:我们发现,与怀孕前三个月、怀孕后三个月或产后三个月的妇女相比,怀孕后三个月的妇女拥有最高的生活质量。与 BDD 症状较轻的妇女相比,BDD 症状较重的妇女生活质量较低,身体形象也较差,尤其是妊娠前三个月或妊娠后三个月的妇女:这些研究结果表明,有必要为孕妇,尤其是有 BDD 症状的孕妇提供有针对性的干预和支持,以提高她们在整个孕期和产后的幸福感。

Background: This study investigates the role of Delta Neutrophil Index (DNI), an inflammation marker, in late-onset fetal growth restriction (LO-FGR) and its prediction of composite adverse neonatal outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 684 pregnant women (456 with normal fetal development and 228 with LO-FGR) who delivered at Health Sciences University Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Women's Health Training and Research Hospital between January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2018. Composite adverse neonatal outcomes were defined as at least one of the following: 5th minute APGAR score < 7, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), or neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission.

Results: The FGR group had significantly higher levels of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and DNI compared to controls (p < 0.05, for all). For FGR diagnosis, the DNI demonstrated the highest area under the curve (AUC = 0.677, 95% CI: 0.642-0.711) with a cut-off value of > -2.9, yielding a sensitivity of 78.41%, a specificity of 52.97%, a positive likelihood ratio (+ LR) of 1.68, and a negative likelihood ratio (-LR) of 0.37 (p < 0.001). For predicting composite adverse neonatal outcomes in the FGR group, DNI again demonstrated superior performance with an AUC of 0.635 (95% CI: 0.598-0.670), a cut-off value of > -2.2, a sensitivity of 69.90%, a specificity of 55.36%, a + LR of 1.56, and a -LR of 0.51 (p < 0.001). NLR, PLR, and MLR had AUCs below 0.55, indicating poor discriminative ability, with none reaching statistical significance.

Background: Preeclampsia is implicated in 14% of maternal deaths worldwide, mostly due to complications such as intracranial hemorrhage and cerebral edema. Cerebral edema increases intracranial pressure, which can be predicted by ultrasonographic measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). Greater diameters have been reported in women with preeclampsia and eclampsia; however, data are lacking on the possible association with maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether there is an association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and the ONSD, and between this measurement and maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes.

Methods: This was a cohort study involving 183 women in the third trimester of pregnancy or within 24 h following childbirth, distributed as follows: control group (n = 30), gestational hypertension (n = 14), chronic hypertension (n = 12), preeclampsia without severe features (n = 12), preeclampsia with severe features (n = 62), superimposed preeclampsia (n = 23) and eclampsia (n = 30). The participants underwent ocular ultrasonography, and data on maternal and neonatal outcomes were collected from the medical records. To compare the groups, analysis of variance was used for the normally distributed numerical variables and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for variables with non-normal distribution. Two-tailed p-values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results: Overall comparison between the seven groups showed no statistically significant difference in the mean ONSD (p = 0.056). Nevertheless, diameters were significantly greater in the eclampsia group compared to the control group (p = 0.003). Greater diameters were associated with maternal admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) (p < 0.01) and maternal near miss (p = 0.01). There was no association between ONSD and admission to the neonatal ICU (p = 0.1), neonatal near miss (p = 0.34) or neonatal death (p = 0.26).

Conclusions: No association was found between ONSD and the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the overall analysis; however, ONSD was greater in women with eclampsia compared to controls. Greater diameters were associated with maternal admission to the ICU and maternal near miss. These findings suggest a potential use for bedside ultrasound as an additional tool for stratifying risk in patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

背景:全世界有 14% 的孕产妇死于子痫前期,主要是由于颅内出血和脑水肿等并发症。脑水肿会增加颅内压,可通过超声波测量视神经鞘直径(ONSD)来预测。有报道称,先兆子痫和子痫妇女的视神经鞘直径更大;然而,关于视神经鞘直径与孕产妇和新生儿不良预后的可能关系,目前还缺乏相关数据。本研究旨在确定妊娠高血压疾病与 ONSD 之间是否存在关联,以及该测量值与孕产妇和新生儿不良结局之间是否存在关联:这是一项队列研究,涉及183名妊娠三个月或产后24小时内的妇女,分布如下:对照组(30人)、妊娠高血压(14人)、慢性高血压(12人)、无严重特征子痫前期(12人)、有严重特征子痫前期(62人)、叠加子痫前期(23人)和子痫(30人)。参与者均接受了眼部超声波检查,并从病历中收集了有关产妇和新生儿预后的数据。为了对各组进行比较,对正态分布的数字变量采用方差分析,对非正态分布的变量采用 Kruskal-Wallis 检验。双尾 p 值小于 0.05 视为具有统计学意义:七组之间的总体比较显示,平均 ONSD 没有明显的统计学差异(p = 0.056)。然而,与对照组相比,子痫组的直径明显更大(p = 0.003)。更大的直径与产妇住进重症监护室(ICU)有关(p 结论:ONSD与产妇住进重症监护室无关:在总体分析中,未发现 ONSD 与妊娠高血压疾病之间存在关联;但是,与对照组相比,子痫妇女的 ONSD 更大。更大的直径与产妇入住重症监护室和产妇险些失救有关。这些研究结果表明,床旁超声波可作为一种额外的工具,用于对妊娠高血压疾病患者进行风险分层。

Is there a relationship between morphokinetic parameters and obstetrical complications? An analysis of singleton live births after single fresh embryo transfer. 形态动力学参数与产科并发症之间有关系吗?对单胎新鲜胚胎移植后单胎活产的分析。
IF 2.8 2区 医学 Q1 OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-05 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-024-06814-3

Background: With the advancement in embryology and the introduction of time-lapse monitoring system, the embryologists' goal might be to find not only the embryo with the highest probability of live birth, but also the embryo with the highest probability to progress to a healthy full-term delivery. Thus, we aimed to investigate the association between morphokinetic time-lapse parameters and obstetrical and perinatal complications.

Methods: A cohort study reviewing fertility and delivery files of all singletone births from IVF patients whose embryos were cultured in a time-lapse monitoring system and had a single fresh embryo transfer at our center between 2013-2019. We conducted multiple comparisons between complicated and uncomplicated pregnancies of each perinatal complication, including: gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); small for gestational age (SGA); pre-eclamptic toxemia (PET); preterm labor < 37 weeks of gestation (PTL); and third stage of labor complications. A comparison between pregnancies with and without a composite outcome of placental complications including GDM, SGA, PET and PTL was also conducted. Baseline characteristics, treatment and morphokinetic parameters in complicated and uncomplicated gestations were compared. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to adjust results for potential confounders.

Results: One hundred seventy-six single embryo transfers resulted in 176 live births. Morphokinetic time-lapse parameters were similar between the groups, except for a shorter time to full blastulation in the SGA group (tB-tPNf = 75.5 ± 1.3 h vs. 79.5 ± 4.8 in the non-SGA group, p < 0.001), and shorter third cell cycle duration in the PET group (CC3 = 12.4 ± 1.1 h vs. 13.6 ± 2.9 in the non-PET group, p = 0.02). On multivariate regression analysis, none of the morphokinetic parameters were found to be significantly correlated with any of the perinatal complications.

Conclusion: Time-lapse morphokinetic parameters of the embryo transferred are not associated with adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes.

背景:随着胚胎学的发展和延时监测系统的引入,胚胎学家的目标可能不仅是找到活产几率最高的胚胎,而且还要找到健康足月分娩几率最高的胚胎。因此,我们旨在研究形态动态延时参数与产科和围产期并发症之间的关联:一项队列研究,回顾了2013-2019年间本中心所有胚胎在延时监测系统中培养并进行单次新鲜胚胎移植的试管婴儿患者的生育和分娩档案。我们对复杂妊娠和非复杂妊娠的每种围产期并发症进行了多次比较,包括:妊娠期糖尿病(GDM);胎龄小(SGA);先兆子痫毒血症(PET);早产 结果:176例单胚胎移植结果为176例活产儿。除 SGA 组完全胚泡形成时间较短外(tB-tPNf = 75.5 ± 1.3 h vs. 79.5 ± 4.8(非 SGA 组),p),各组的形态发生延时参数相似:胚胎移植的延时形态动力学参数与不良产科和围产期结局无关。

Daily snuff use during pregnancy, gestational length and birth weight; register-based study. 孕期每日吸食鼻烟、妊娠期长短和出生体重;基于登记的研究。
IF 2.8 2区 医学 Q1 OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-04 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-024-06863-8

Background: Snuff is a smokeless source of nicotine that is common in Scandinavia and increasingly used by women of fertile age. Persistent use of snuff during pregnancy has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Emerging data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway distinguishes between occasional use and daily use. We provide preliminary estimates of associations between frequency of snuff and gestational length and birth weight.

Methods: Data on snuff use during pregnancies delivered in 2020 and 2021 were available for the west and central regions of Norway. Associations of snuff use with gestational length and birth weight at term (39-41 weeks) were estimated using quantile regression at the 25th, the 50th and the 75th percentiles, with adjustments for mother's age, pre-pregnancy weight, and parity. We compared associations with the pregnancy outcomes according to maternal snuff and cigarette use.

Results: 12.4% of 18 042 non-smoking women reported daily use of snuff before pregnancy, and 4.6% reported continuing use during pregnancy, with 1.2% still reporting daily use in the last trimester. Women with daily use through the last trimester delivered babies with a median gestational length reduced by 3.4 days (95% CI: -5.0 to -1.7 days) compared with women who never used snuff. The reduction was even stronger at the 25th percentile of gestational age. The median term birth weight was reduced by 44 g (95% CI: -134 to 46 g). These associations were much weaker for women who quit snuff at some point during pregnancy or used snuff only occasionally. Mothers who smoked daily through the last trimester had a median gestational length reduced by 2.1 days (95% CI: -2.7 to -1.4) and a median term birth weight reduced by 294 g (95% CI: -325 to -262) compared with never-smokers.

Conclusions: Daily snuff use through the last trimester reduced the median gestational length by more than three days. Snuff reduced birth weight, but not as much as smoking, suggesting that the predominant effect of smoking on fetal growth is not through nicotine but through the additional toxic chemicals in cigarettes or by reduced oxygen supply to the fetus.

背景:鼻烟是一种无烟尼古丁来源,在斯堪的纳维亚地区很常见,育龄妇女使用鼻烟的情况也越来越多。怀孕期间持续使用鼻烟与不良妊娠结局有关。挪威出生医学登记处(Medical Birth Registry of Norway)的最新数据对偶尔使用鼻烟和每天使用鼻烟进行了区分。我们对吸食鼻烟的频率与妊娠期长度和出生体重之间的关系进行了初步估计:2020年和2021年挪威西部和中部地区孕妇使用鼻烟的数据。在对母亲的年龄、孕前体重和胎次进行调整后,我们使用第 25、50 和 75 百分位数的量子回归法估算了吸食鼻烟与胎儿身长和足月(39-41 周)出生体重之间的关系。我们比较了母亲吸食鼻烟和香烟与妊娠结果的关系:在 18 042 名不吸烟的妇女中,有 12.4% 在怀孕前每天使用鼻烟,4.6% 在怀孕期间继续使用,1.2% 在最后三个月仍每天使用。与从未使用过鼻烟的妇女相比,在妊娠最后三个月仍每天使用鼻烟的妇女所分娩的婴儿的妊娠期中位数缩短了 3.4 天(95% CI:-5.0 天至-1.7 天)。胎龄第 25 百分位数的减少幅度更大。足月新生儿体重的中位数减少了 44 克(95% CI:-134 至 46 克)。对于那些在怀孕期间戒烟或只是偶尔使用鼻烟的妇女来说,这些关联性要弱得多。与从不吸烟的母亲相比,在妊娠最后三个月每天吸烟的母亲的妊娠期中位数缩短了2.1天(95% CI:-2.7至-1.4),足月出生体重中位数减少了294克(95% CI:-325至-262):结论:妊娠最后三个月每天吸食鼻烟可使妊娠期中位数缩短三天以上。鼻烟会降低出生体重,但降低幅度不如吸烟,这表明吸烟对胎儿生长的主要影响不是通过尼古丁,而是通过香烟中的其他有毒化学物质或通过减少对胎儿的氧气供应。

Background: Despite routine iron supplementation for pregnant women in South Africa, anaemia and iron deficiency (ID) in pregnancy remain a public health concern.

Objective: To determine the associations between iron status and birth outcomes of pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at a regional hospital in Bloemfontein.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study of 427 pregnant women, blood was taken to analyze biomarkers of anaemia (haemoglobin), iron status (ferritin and soluble transferrin receptor) and inflammation (C-reactive protein and α-1-acid glycoprotein). A questionnaire was used to collect information about birth outcomes (birth weight and gestational age at birth), HIV exposure, sociodemographics, iron supplement intake, and maternal dietary iron intake using a validated quantified food frequency questionnaire.

Results: The median (Q1, Q3) weeks of gestation of participants was 32 (26, 36) at enrolment. Anaemia, iron deficiency (ID), ID anaemia (IDA) and ID erythropoiesis (IDE) were present in 42%, 31%, 19% and 9.8% of participants, respectively. Median (Q1, Q3) dietary and supplemental iron intake during pregnancy was 16.8 (12.7, 20.5) mg/d and 65 (65, 65) mg/d, respectively. The median (max-min) total iron intake (diet and supplements) was 81 (8.8-101.8) mg/d, with 88% of participants having a daily intake above the tolerable upper intake level of 45 mg/d. No significant associations of anaemia and iron status with low birth weight and prematurity were observed. However, infants born to participants in the third hemoglobin (Hb) quartile (Hb > 11.3-12.2 g/dL) had a shorter gestation by 1 week than those in the fourth Hb quartile (Hb > 12.2 g/dL) (p = 0.009). Compared to pregnant women without HIV, women with HIV had increased odds of being anaemic (OR:2.14, 95%CI: 1.41, 3.247), having ID (OR:2.19, 95%CI: 1.42, 3.37), IDA (OR:2.23, 95%CI: 1.36, 3.67), IDE (OR:2.22, 95%CI: 1.16, 4.22) and delivering prematurely (OR:2.39, 95%CI: 1.01, 5.64).

Conclusion: In conclusion, anaemia, ID, and IDA were prevalent in this sample of pregnant women, despite the reported intake of prescribed iron supplements, with HIV-infected participants more likely to be iron deficient and anaemic. Research focusing on the best formulation and dosage of iron supplementation to enhance iron absorption and status, and compliance to supplementation is recommended, especially for those living with HIV infection.

背景:尽管南非对孕妇进行常规补铁,但妊娠贫血和缺铁(ID)仍是一个公共卫生问题:目的:确定在布隆方丹一家地区医院接受产前检查的孕妇的铁状况与分娩结果之间的关系:在这项对 427 名孕妇进行的横断面研究中,抽血分析了贫血(血红蛋白)、铁状况(铁蛋白和可溶性转铁蛋白受体)和炎症(C 反应蛋白和 α-1 酸糖蛋白)的生物标志物。通过问卷调查收集了有关出生结果(出生体重和出生时的胎龄)、艾滋病暴露、社会人口学、铁补充剂摄入量以及使用有效的量化食物频率问卷调查收集的产妇膳食铁摄入量等信息:结果:参与者的妊娠周数中位数(Q1,Q3)为 32(26,36)周。分别有42%、31%、19%和9.8%的参与者存在贫血、缺铁(IDA)、IDA贫血(IDA)和IDE红细胞增多症(IDE)。孕期膳食和补充铁摄入量的中位数(Q1,Q3)分别为 16.8(12.7,20.5)毫克/天和 65(65,65)毫克/天。总铁摄入量(饮食和补充剂)的中位数(最大-最小值)为 81(8.8-101.8)毫克/天,88% 的参与者的日摄入量高于 45 毫克/天的可耐受摄入上限水平。贫血和铁状况与低出生体重和早产没有明显关联。然而,血红蛋白(Hb)处于第三四分位数(Hb > 11.3-12.2 g/dL)的参与者所生的婴儿比血红蛋白处于第四四分位数(Hb > 12.2 g/dL)的参与者所生的婴儿妊娠期短 1 周(p = 0.009)。与未感染艾滋病毒的孕妇相比,感染艾滋病毒的孕妇贫血(OR:2.14,95%CI:1.41,3.247)、ID(OR:2.19,95%CI:1.42,3.37)、IDA(OR:2.23,95%CI:1.36,3.67)、IDE(OR:2.22,95%CI:1.16,4.22)和早产(OR:2.39,95%CI:1.01,5.64)的几率增加:总之,尽管报告称孕妇摄入了处方铁质补充剂,但贫血、ID 和 IDA 仍在样本孕妇中普遍存在,其中感染 HIV 的孕妇更有可能缺铁和贫血。建议对铁质补充剂的最佳配方和剂量进行研究,以促进铁质的吸收和状态,并提高补充剂的依从性,尤其是对那些感染了艾滋病毒的人。

Introduction: Disengagement from HIV care during the perinatal period remains a challenge. Improving engagement in HIV care requires monitoring engagement across multiple indicators, including retention in HIV care, visit adherence, clinic transfers, and viral suppression to support improved clinical and programmatic outcomes.

Methods: We enrolled a prospective cohort of pregnant WHIV across a network of five urban clinics in Lilongwe, Malawi from February 2020-February 2021. WHIV were followed from their first antenatal care visit through 9 months postpartum across all study sites using biometric fingerprint scanning. Study visits occurred at enrollment into antenatal care, 6 weeks', 6 months, and 9 months postpartum. In addition, all usual care HIV visits were captured via medical records. Participants who missed a study visit or usual care visit were traced. We evaluated determinants of multiple indicators of engagement in care, including retention in HIV care (attending a scheduled visit or self-reported recent visit when traced), HIV visit adherence (missed scheduled HIV visits and HIV visit coverage), clinic transfers, and viral load suppression (< 1000 copies/mL) using modified Poisson regression and sub-distributional hazard ratios to account for competing events of death and loss-to-follow-up. Associations between clinic transfer and subsequent indicators of engagement in HIV care were evaluated using generalized estimating equations.

Results: Among 399 participants, 81% were on ART at baseline. Retention in HIV care was 87% at 6 weeks postpartum, 77% at 6 months postpartum and 89% at 9 months postpartum. At 9 months postpartum, 91% of participants were virally suppressed, 81% had missed a scheduled HIV visit, and 19% had transferred clinics. WHIV who transferred clinics were most likely to miss their subsequent scheduled HIV visit by ≥ 30 days. Transferring clinics was not associated with unsuppressed viral load or non-retention at 9 months postpartum.

Conclusions: In a cohort of WHIV, retention and viral load suppression were high in the perinatal period, but missed HIV visits and clinic transfers were common. Transferring clinics was associated with an increased likelihood of missing a subsequent HIV visit. Clinic transfers may be important indicators of disruptions in clinical care for WHIV in the perinatal period.

导言:围产期脱离 HIV 护理仍然是一项挑战。要提高参与 HIV 护理的积极性,就需要对参与情况进行多指标监测,包括继续参与 HIV 护理、坚持就诊、诊所转诊和病毒抑制,以支持临床和项目成果的改善:从 2020 年 2 月到 2021 年 2 月,我们在马拉维利隆圭的五个城市诊所网络中招募了一批怀孕的女性艾滋病感染者。在所有研究地点,我们使用生物指纹扫描技术对女性艾滋病毒感染者从首次产前检查到产后 9 个月的整个过程进行跟踪。研究访问在产前护理入院、产后 6 周、6 个月和 9 个月时进行。此外,还通过医疗记录记录了所有艾滋病常规护理访视。我们对错过研究访视或常规护理访视的参与者进行了追踪。我们对参与护理的多个指标的决定因素进行了评估,包括继续接受艾滋病护理(参加预定的就诊或追踪时自我报告的最近就诊)、坚持艾滋病就诊(错过预定的艾滋病就诊和艾滋病就诊覆盖率)、诊所转移和病毒载量抑制(结果:在 399 名参与者中,81% 的人在基线时接受了抗逆转录病毒疗法。在产后 6 周、产后 6 个月和产后 9 个月,接受 HIV 护理的比例分别为 87%、77% 和 89%。产后 9 个月时,91% 的参与者病毒得到抑制,81% 的参与者错过了一次预定的 HIV 就诊,19% 的参与者转诊。转诊所的女性艾滋病毒感染者最有可能错过其后≥ 30 天的艾滋病毒检测。转诊与病毒载量未抑制或产后 9 个月未留观无关:在一组女性艾滋病毒感染者中,围产期的保留率和病毒载量抑制率都很高,但错过 HIV 就诊和转诊的情况很常见。转诊与错过后续 HIV 检查的可能性增加有关。转诊可能是围产期女性艾滋病感染者临床治疗中断的重要指标。
