Filter by:This study aimed to asses predictive factors associated with successful cervical cerclage and poor pregnancy outcomes in all indications.129 pregnant women who underwent cerclage at 12-25 weeks gestation in a perinatal medical center were included. The patients were divided into three subgroups for data analysis. Groups included patients with respectively history-indicated cerclage (group 1), ultrasound-indicated cerclage (group 2), and rescue cerclage (group 3). The investigators defined successful cerclage as postponing birth until after the 28th week of gestation and a 'good outcome' was defined as delivery beyond 34 completed weeks.Factors associated with successful cervical cerclage and perinatal outcomes after the procedure for all three groups were analyzed. The investigators also calculated post-cerclage the cervical length cut-off value required to predict if birth could be postponed until after the 28th week of gestation in women with cervical insufficiency.
Childbirth is a unique and non-transferable experience in the life of a woman, her partner and her family. It is a very intense process that requires accompaniment and, in the vast majority of cases, requires analgesic support in order to overcome this life event in an optimal and atraumatic way. Among the analgesic methods for pain relief during the labor process, there are pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. From the evidence we know that the most effective pharmacological method is epidural analgesia (EA), while the most recognized non-pharmacological method is immersion in hot water (bathtub) for dilatation and delivery, called waterbirth(WB) At present there is controversy and doubts about the increase in the number of interventions involving the use of epidural analgesia, but there is also controversy about the safety of the use of water, especially in those processes where the birth ends in water. Given the popularity of these two methods, the aim is to study and compare the maternal and neonatal outcomes derived from the use of both methods in order to provide greater knowledge to women in their decision making.
"How long will my labor last" is a very common question for midwives who care for women during birth. To evaluate safe labor duration largely determines management and care during birth. Today a standardized tool is used by midwives to evaluate normal and safe labor called the partograph. The World Health Organization partograph is a decision-making support tool designed to assist midwives in identifying normal labor duration and women at risk of developing complications. The tool guide the use of care interventions intended to mitigate any perceived risks. The partograph has been in use since the 1950ies and has had a profound impact on care and management during labor. Normal labor progression according to the partograph is a linear progression with cervical dilation of 1 centimeter per hour (alert line) and any deviation from this should lead to an intervention.The purpose of this research project is to increase person-centred care during labor. Specifically, we want to provide updated comprehensive information on labor duration and patient safety for reduction of; unnecessary medical interventions during normal labor; morbidity and mortality in the new-born; maternal complications during delivery and the puerperal period.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of chronotype differences on sleep quality and pregnancy symptoms in pregnant women. Methods: Eighty-five pregnant women in the second trimester were included in the study. The chronotypes of pregnant women were determined using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Then, Oral Glucose Tolerance tests were performed on the participants between 24-28 weeks. Also, pregnant women's nausea and vomiting conditions with the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) and sleep quality with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were evaluated.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of using peanut balls during labor on labor memory, labor satisfaction, labor length, and neonatal APGAR scores.
This study aim is to examine the effect of percussion massage therapy applied to lower extremity on pain, edema, fatigue and quality of life in pregnant women.
Streptococcus agalactiae, a Group B β-hemolytic streptococcus (GBS), is the leading cause of severe neonatal infection in developed countries. There is growing scientific interest in probiotic supplementation in pregnancy as possible prophylaxis for GBS infections and urine culture positivity.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a postpartum physical activity intervention after a pregnancy complicated by a Hypertensive Disorder of Pregnancy. The study will also assess the effects of the remote postpartum intervention on blood pressure. To do this, we will recruit individuals that are 3-6 months postpartum a pregnancy complicated by a hypertensive disorder to participate in a 4-month health coaching intervention aimed to promote physical activity and was informed by formative work done previously.
The results of contemporary studies suggest an association between inflammatory periodontal disease and pregnancy and delivery complications. The aim of this study was to assess the association between periodontal disease, clinical periodontal parameters and pregnancy or delivery complications in type 1 diabetes mellitus and non-diabetic pregnant women.
the effects of fetal EFT on fetal cardiac function and fetal and maternal outcomes were investigated in obese pregnant women compared with normal-weight pregnant women.
