Abstract

Objective: The transition to parenthood might negatively influence health‐related behavior and can result in increased adiposity. The aim of this study was to investigate how body composition in mother–father dyads changes from pregnancy up to 6 months post partum. Methods: Anthropometrics were collected from 144 nulliparous couples at 12 weeks of gestation (PG12) and 6 weeks (PP6WK) and 6 months (PP6M) post partum. A longitudinal dyadic confirmatory factor analysis model was used to analyze changes in body composition. Body composition was treated as a latent variable using BMI, body fat percentage, and waist circumference as indicators. Results: For women, latent means increased at 6 weeks post partum (PP6WK − PG12: +1.115, SE: 0.117, p < 0.001), decreased again at 6 months post partum (PP6M − PP6WK: −0.368, SE: 0.107, p < 0.001), but remained above baseline levels (PP6M − PG12: +0.747; SE: 0.115, p < 0.001). For men, the latent means at follow‐up were higher than at baseline (PP6WK‐PG12: +0.370, SE: 0.075; PP6M‐PG12: +0.366, SE: 0.084, both p < 0.001). Conclusions: Increases in latent means correspond to unfavorable changes in BMI, body fat percentage, and waist circumference. These changes were observed from the beginning of pregnancy up to 6 months post partum. Weight management for both women and men during pregnancy and the early postpartum period is recommended and fathers should be included in pre‐ and postnatal standard care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

To evaluate the economic impact of introducing the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1) to placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio test into clinical practice in Belgium for the prediction of preeclampsia (PE). We developed a one-year time-horizon decision tree model to evaluate the short-term costs associated with the introduction of the sFlt-1/PlGF test for guiding the management of women with suspected PE from the Belgian public healthcare payers' perspective. The model estimated the costs associated with the diagnosis and management of PE in pregnant women managed in either a test scenario, in which the sFlt-1/PlGF test is used in addition to current clinical practice, or a no test scenario, in which clinical decisions are based on current practice alone. Test characteristics were derived from PROGNOSIS, a non-interventional study in women presenting with clinical suspicion of PE. Unit costs were obtained from Belgian-specific sources. The main model outcome was the total cost per patient. Introduction of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio test is expected to result in a cost saving of €712 per patient compared with the no test scenario. These savings are generated mainly due to a reduction in unnecessary hospitalizations. The sFlt-1/PlGF test is projected to result in substantial cost savings for the Belgian public healthcare payers through reduction of unnecessary hospitalization of women with clinical suspicion of PE that ultimately do not develop the condition. The test also has the potential to ensure that women at high risk of developing PE are identified and appropriately managed.

Abstract

We thank Picone and Mandelbrot for their interesting comments. In Belgium, 3 prenatal ultrasound scans are refunded by the Federal Institute for Health Insurance (1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimester ultrasound examinations). As mentioned in our article, pregnant patients with primary cytomegalovirus infections were invited for targeted additional ultrasound scans to be performed every 4 weeks until delivery. Dates of the ultrasound scans and gestational ages for every included patient were registered (data not shown) as well as fetal and placental findings. We share the same opinion about correlations between autopsy findings and clinical postnatal cytomegalovirus impairments. Histopathologic observations should be interpretated with caution to avoid overestimation of adverse outcomes. On the other hand, underestimation of adverse outcomes should not be neglicted. A few patients in this study declined autopsy or were lost for follow-up. For several cases of pregnancy terminations, neuropathological examinations failed because of fetal brain tissue autolyse. Underestimation of adverse outcomes or missed falsely negative ultrasound assessments are therefore not excluded and could have led to overrated negative predictive values for fetal ultrasound. This study was initiated 20 years ago, the knowledge about cytomegalovirus infection, its natural history during pregnancy, and available tools for prenatal risk stratification were limited, compared with actual management options. In 1996, patients with first-trimester primary cytomegalovirus infection and proven fetal infection based on amniotic fluid analysis were considered to be at high risk for severe neurologic postnatal impairments. Therefore, management options that included pregnancy termination, even for cases with negative fetal ultrasound results, were discussed with patients. Important progress has been made. Risk for fetal neurologic impairments can be stratified with the use of noninvasive techniques like magnetic resonance imaging analysis with improved sensitivity and sensibility when compared with fetal ultrasound scanning.1 This was implemented in our clinical practice with fewer indications for terminations. Nevertheless, discussions about prognosis and cytomegalovirus-related postnatal sequelae remain difficult. Counseling should include a broader clinical approach with a more extended screening for adverse outcomes. Ophthalmologic cytomegalovirus complications are clearly underestimated2 as is long-term progressive hearing deterioration that has been noted in 18–62% of all children with sensorineural hearing loss at birth.3 Both could lead to cytomegalovirus-related neurodevelopmental impairments without adequate identification and management.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe whether the prophylactic use of a cervical pessary decreases the rate of premature birth in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) fetuses treated with fetoscopic tracheal occlusion (FETO). Methods: The study concerns a consecutive series of cases with CDH and FETO and a group of CDH without FETO. In a subgroup of the FETO group, a prophylactic cervical pessary was inserted the day following the procedure. Gestational age (GA) at birth was the primary outcome. Results: Fifty-nine fetuses with FETO and 47 expectantly managed were included. The last 15 FETO had a cervical pessary inserted. The median GA at delivery in the FETO group with pessary was 35.1weeks and was not different from that in the FETO group without a pessary (34.3weeks; p=0.28) but was below that in the expectantly managed group (38.3weeks; p<0.001). Conclusion: Early results suggest that prophylactic use of an Arabin cervical pessary does not prolong gestation of CDH fetuses treated with FETO., SCOPUS: ar.j, SCOPUS: ar.j, FLWIN, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract

What's already known about this topic? Stem cells can be isolated from amniotic fluid and may be used for cell therapy and tissue engineering applications in perinatal medicine. Clinical implementation requires development of an adapted cell banking system including optimal processing and cryopreservation of amniotic fluid samples, with maintenance of cell viability and characteristics after thawing. What does this study add? We identified three suitable cryopreservation protocols of fresh amniotic fluid samples with high cell recovery rate and unchanged stem cell characteristics post-thawing. One of these is compatible with current good manufacturing practice legislation and can be performed in fetal medicine units without stem cell culture expertise. Objectives: Stem cells (SCs) can be isolated from amniotic fluid (AF) for a variety of perinatal applications. In view of this, we compared different cryopreservation protocols for these AFSCs. Methods: We screened seven freezing and thawing protocols using two well-established human AFSC lines: freezing protocol 1 (FP1), 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); FP2, 2.5% DMSO, caspase inhibitor, and catalase; FP3, 5% glycerol, caspase inhibitor, and catalase; FP4, sperm freezing medium; FP5, slow-freezing solution; FP6, ethylene glycol, sucrose, and Ficoll 70; and FP7, vitrification solution. Outcome measures were post-thawing cell viability, recovery, doubling time and mesenchymal SC markers. The three best performing protocols were subsequently tested on cells isolated from clinical consecutive freshly harvested AF samples from two fetal medicine units. Results: Protocols 1, 5, and 6 performed significantly better on well-characterized cell lines. They performed equally well on cell pellets from freshly harvested AF (n=28). Conclusions: We identified three suitable cryopreservation protocols because of high cell recovery and unchanged SC characteristics. Given one of these, the slow-freezing solution, is compatible with curr, SCOPUS: ar.j, FLWIN, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract

Objective. This study aimed to compare the qualitative and quantitative reproducibility of quantitative PCR (qPCR) for Ureaplasma species (Ureaplasma spp.) throughout pregnancy and according to the genital sampling site. Study Design. Between 5 and 14 weeks of gestation (T1), vaginal, fornix, and two cervical samples were taken. Sampling was repeated during the 2nd (T2) and 3rd (T3) trimester in randomly selected T1 positive and negative women. Qualitative and quantitative reproducibility were evaluated using, respectively, Cohen's kappa (κ) and interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and repeated measures ANOVA on the log-transformed mean number of DNA copies for each sampling site. Results. During T1, 51/127 women were positive for U. parvum and 8 for U. urealyticum (4 patients for both). Sampling was repeated for 44/55 women at T2 and/or T3; 43 (97.7%) remained positive at the three timepoints. κ ranged between 0.83 and 0.95 and the ICC for cervical samples was 0.86. Conclusions. Colonization by Ureaplasma spp. seems to be very constant during pregnancy and vaginal samples have the highest detection rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Purpose: To prospectively define fetal density in the second half of pregnancy by using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and to compare estimates of fetal weight based on ultrasonography (US) and MR imaging with actual birth weight. Materials and Methods: Written informed consent was obtained for this ethics committee - approved study. In this cross-sectional study between March 2011 and May 2012, fetal density was calculated as actual birth weight at delivery divided by fetal body volume at MR imaging in 188 fetuses between 20 weeks and 2 days and 42 weeks and 1 day of gestational age. Regression analysis was used to investigate the effect of variables, including sex, on fetal density. The US estimate of fetal weight was performed according to Hadlock et al, and the MR estimate of fetal weight was calculated based on the equation developed by Baker et al. US and MR estimates of fetal weight were compared with actual birth weights by using regression analysis. Results: Median fetal density was equal to 1.04 (range, 0.95-1.18). Fetal density was significantly associated with gestational age at delivery but not with fetal sex. In 26.6% of fetuses, the US estimate of fetal weight had a relative error of more than 10%, while a similar relative error for the MR estimate of fetal weight occurred in only 1.1% of fetuses. The limits of agreement were narrower with the MR estimate of fetal weight compared with the US estimate of fetal weight. Conclusion: In the second half of pregnancy, fetal density varies with gestational age. Fetal weight estimates by using fetal MR imaging are better than those by using prenatal US. © RSNA, 2013., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract

Objective: To help elucidate the mechanism of action of the Arabin cervical pessary in pregnancies at high risk for preterm delivery. Methods: Cervical length and uterocervical angle were evaluated in relation to gestational age in 198 pregnancies not at high risk for preterm birth that underwent clinical fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Additionally, in 73 singleton pregnancies at high risk for preterm birth, an Arabin cervical pessary was placed at 14-33 weeks' gestation. We performed MRI of the cervix immediately before and after placement and at monthly follow-up until removal of the pessary. In a subgroup of 54 pregnancies with a short cervix and pessary placement at 17-31 weeks' gestation, the uterocervical angle and cervical length at follow-up were compared with the preplacement values. Results: In pregnancies not at high risk for preterm birth, the uterocervical angle did not vary, but cervical length showed a significant decrease with gestational age (r = -0.15, P < 0.05). Among the high-risk patients, the cervical pessary was successfully placed at first attempt in 60 (82.2%) and by the second attempt in 66 (90.4%), remaining well positioned until removal. In five patients we failed to place the pessary after two attempts, in one patient the pessary dislodged during follow-up and in one case the pessary was partly placed in the external cervical canal and triggered labor the next day. Among the subgroup of 54 patients, the median uterocervical angle immediately after pessary placement was significantly more acute than that prior to placement in the 46 (85.2%) who delivered after 34 weeks (132° vs 146°, P < 0.01), but was unchanged in the eight patients who delivered before 34 weeks (143° vs 152°, P > 0.05). Conclusion: In patients at high risk for preterm delivery, correct placement of the Arabin cervical pessary should be checked immediately; this can be performed quickly and easily using MRI.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months of age, and may be continued in combination with a more diversified diet until 2 years of age. It represents the ideal natural diet for the newborn. The current change of maternity care policy and the adherence to the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) project, have been associated with a significant improvement of patient information. This positive aspect combined with the effect of perinatal education were major contributors for breastfeeding promotion. This article presents the physiology of breastfeeding and its practical aspects, useful for the family doctor. The doctor plays a central role both in the information, which might influence the choice of breastfeeding, and also in the support of the mother or her baby. The duration of breastfeeding represents the new goal to be emphasized. Lactating mothers should be encouraged to consult competent caregivers, including the family doctor in case of breastfeeding difficulties., English Abstract, Journal Article, Review, SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract

Objectives To evaluate the strength of association between maternal and pregnancy characteristics and the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnancies with laboratory confirmed COVID-19. Methods Secondary analysis of a multinational, cohort study on all consecutive pregnant women with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from February 1, 2020 to April 30, 2020 from 73 centers from 22 different countries. A confirmed case of COVID-19 was defined as a positive result on real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay of nasal and pharyngeal swab specimens. The primary outcome was a composite adverse fetal outcome, defined as the presence of either abortion (pregnancy loss before 22 weeks of gestations), stillbirth (intrauterine fetal death after 22 weeks of gestation), neonatal death (death of a live-born infant within the first 28 days of life), and perinatal death (either stillbirth or neonatal death). Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate parameters independently associated with the primary outcome. Logistic regression was reported as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Mean gestational age at diagnosis was 30.6±9.5 weeks, with 8.0% of women being diagnosed in the first, 22.2% in the second and 69.8% in the third trimester of pregnancy. There were six miscarriage (2.3%), six intrauterine device (IUD) (2.3) and 5 (2.0%) neonatal deaths, with an overall rate of perinatal death of 4.2% (11/265), thus resulting into 17 cases experiencing and 226 not experiencing composite adverse fetal outcome. Neither stillbirths nor neonatal deaths had congenital anomalies found at antenatal or postnatal evaluation. Furthermore, none of the cases experiencing IUD had signs of impending demise at arterial or venous Doppler. Neonatal deaths were all considered as prematurity-related adverse events. Of the 250 live-born neonates, one (0.4%) was found positive at RT-PCR pharyngeal swabs performed after delivery. The mother was tested positive during the third trimester of pregnancy. The newborn was asymptomatic and had negative RT-PCR test after 14 days of life. At logistic regression analysis, gestational age at diagnosis (OR: 0.85, 95% CI 0.8–0.9 per week increase; p Conclusions Early gestational age at infection, maternal ventilatory supports and low birthweight are the main determinants of adverse perinatal outcomes in fetuses with maternal COVID-19 infection. Conversely, the risk of vertical transmission seems negligible.

Abstract

WOS:000613461600006 PubMed ID: 32926494 Objectives To evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods This was a multinational retrospective cohort study including women with a singleton pregnancy and laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, conducted in 72 centers in 22 different countries in Europe, the USA, South America, Asia and Australia, between 1 February 2020 and 30 April 2020. Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was defined as a positive result on real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay of nasopharyngeal swab specimens. The primary outcome was a composite measure of maternal mortality and morbidity, including admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), use of mechanical ventilation and death. Results In total, 388 women with a singleton pregnancy tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on RT-PCR of a nasopharyngeal swab and were included in the study. Composite adverse maternal outcome was observed in 47/388 (12.1%) women; 43 (11.1%) women were admitted to the ICU, 36 (9.3%) required mechanical ventilation and three (0.8%) died. Of the 388 women included in the study, 122 (31.4%) were still pregnant at the time of data analysis. Among the other 266 women, six (19.4% of the 31 women with first-trimester infection) had miscarriage, three (1.1%) had termination of pregnancy, six (2.3%) had stillbirth and 251 (94.4%) delivered a liveborn infant. The rate of preterm birth before 37 weeks' gestation was 26.3% (70/266). Of the 251 liveborn infants, 69/251(27.5%) were admitted to the neonatal ICU, and there were five (2.0%) neonatal deaths. The overall rate of perinatal death was 4.1% (11/266). Only one (1/251, 0.4%) infant, born to a mother who tested positive during the third trimester, was found to be positive for SARS-CoV-2 on RT-PCR. Conclusions SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women is associated with a 0.8% rate of maternal mortality, but an 11.1% rate of admission to the ICU. The risk of vertical transmission seems to be negligible. (C) 2020 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract

Objective . This study aimed to compare the qualitative and quantitative reproducibility of quantitative PCR (qPCR) for Ureaplasma species (Ureaplasma spp.) throughout pregnancy and according to the genital sampling site. Study Design . Between 5 and 14 weeks of gestation (T1), vaginal, fornix, and two cervical samples were taken. Sampling was repeated during the 2nd (T2) and 3rd (T3) trimester in randomly selected T1 positive and negative women. Qualitative and quantitative reproducibility were evaluated using, respectively, Cohen's kappa ( κ ) and interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and repeated measures ANOVA on the log-transformed mean number of DNA copies for each sampling site. Results . During T1, 51/127 women were positive for U. parvum and 8 for U. urealyticum (4 patients for both). Sampling was repeated for 44/55 women at T2 and/or T3; 43 (97.7%) remained positive at the three timepoints. κ ranged between 0.83 and 0.95 and the ICC for cervical samples was 0.86. Conclusions . Colonization by Ureaplasma spp. seems to be very constant during pregnancy and vaginal samples have the highest detection rate., Competing Interests: All authors declare no competing interests (financial or personal) in this article.

Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) affects one in 2500 to 5000 births and can be detected in utero by means of ultrasound screening Associated structural problems aggravate the prognosis. The survival rate is 70% or more for cases managed in tertiary care centers. The commonest causes of neonatal death in this setting are pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. Prenatal imaging findings can now accurately predict postnatal outcome, based mainly on ultrasound determination of the lung-to-head ratio and liver position. This information can be used to counsel patients. In severe cases, prenatal intervention can reverse pulmonary hypoplasia. We review current data on prenatal prediction of neonatal survival. We also discuss experimental and clinical data on the benefits of fetal tracheal occlusion. The TOTAL trial (Tracheal Occlusion To Accelerate Lung growth) is currently ongoing in Europe.
