Objetivos: la preeclampsia (PE) es un trastorno hipertensivo del embarazo que puede causar complicaciones graves y resultados adversos maternos y fetales. El objetivo del estudio fue estimar el impacto económico de la incorporación del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF (factor tirosinkinasa -1 soluble tipo fms / Placenta Growth Factor – Factor de Crecimiento Placentario) al sistema de salud uruguayo. Materiales y métodos: se utilizó un árbol de decisión para estimar, en una cohorte hipotética de mujeres con sospecha de PE, el impacto económico anual incluidos los costos relevantes asociados con el diagnóstico, el seguimiento y el tratamiento de la presentación inicial de la PE clínicamente sospechada hasta el parto. Se analizaron los costos anuales para un escenario estándar de atención y un escenario que incluye el cociente sFlt-1/PlGF para PE. Se realizaron diversos análisis de sensibilidad determinísticos y probabilísticos. Resultados: el modelo económico estimó que el uso del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF permitiría al sistema de salud uruguayo ahorrar 95.432.678 pesos uruguayos (2.320.269 dólares) anualmente: una reducción del 5 % en comparación con el estándar de atención, principalmente como resultado de la reducción de las hospitalizaciones de mujeres con sospecha de PE. El cálculo del impacto económico estimó un ahorro neto anual de aproximadamente 10.602 pesos uruguayos (258 dólares) por paciente. Conclusiones: la introducción del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF en el sistema de salud uruguayo probablemente genere ahorros debido a la optimización del manejo de las hospitalizaciones de mujeres con sospecha de PE, aunque la posibilidad de obtener ahorros dependerá principalmente de la tasa actual de hospitalización de estas (la eficiencia del manejo de los embarazos de alto riesgo de PE), y de los días de internación de las mujeres hospitalizadas.

Resultados: a partir dos resultados desse estudo, podemos identificar que no cenário de alto risco estudado, as tecnologias leves e duras foram as mais utilizadas, de forma que, entre as tecnologias duras, a cirurgia cesariana foi a que apresentou maior prevalência Conclusão: ficou evidente a necessidade do melhor aproveitamento das tecnologias leve-duras, a fim de proporcionar uma melhor experiência parturitiva para as mulheres.

Introduction: Hydrops fetalis (HF) is a rare condition with a high mortality. This study analysed the obstetric and perinatal outcomes of antenatally diagnosed HF according to its aetiology and the possibility of intrauterine treatment (IUT). Patients and methods: We carried out a retrospective review of the health records of 164 pregnant women with a prenatal diagnosis of HF in a tertiary care centre between 2011−2021. We analysed prenatal interventions, clinical findings, aetiologies and obstetric and live-born infant outcomes. Results: An invasive prenatal study had been performed in 79.3% cases. The most common aetiologies were genetic disorders (31%), TORCH and parvovirus B19 infections (9.7%) and structural heart diseases (9.1%). Intrauterine treatment was performed in 25.6%, and 74.4% of pregnancies were terminated. Pregnancies with a prenatal diagnosis of genetic or chromosomal disorders had higher rates of elective termination compared to other aetiologies (P < .01). Among all pregnancies, only 25.6% resulted in live births (LBs), most of them preterm. Perinatal and 1-year survival rates were higher in the group that received IUT (P < .001). Among the LBs, structural heart diseases had the worst survival rates, while the aetiology with the best outcomes was tachyarrhythmia. Survival at 1 year of life among those born alive was 70%, but 58.6% of these infants had significant morbidity at discharge. Conclusions: Despite advances in the management of FH, the poor obstetric prognosis, perinatal mortality and morbidity of survivors is still significant. These data are important for the purpose of counselling families when HF is diagnosed antenatally. Resumen: Introducción: El hidrops fetal (HF) es una condición rara con una alta mortalidad. Este estudio analiza la evolución obstétrica y perinatal de los diagnósticos prenatales de HF, relacionándola con la etiología y el tratamiento intrauterino (TIU) recibido. Pacientes y métodos: Se revisaron 164 gestantes con diagnóstico prenatal de HF entre 2011 y 2021. Se registraron intervenciones prenatales, hallazgos clínicos, etiologías y resultados de los recién nacidos vivos. Resultados: Se realizó estudio invasivo prenatal en 79,3% de pacientes. Las etiologías mayoritarias fueron alteraciones genéticas (31%), infecciones TORCH y por parvovirus B19 (9,7%) y cardiopatías estructurales (9,1%). En 25,6% se realizó TIU y entre todas las gestaciones un 74,4% fueron interrumpidas. Las alteraciones genéticas tuvieron tasas más altas de interrupción legal del embarazo respecto a otras etiologías (p

Introducción: La telemedicina se ha posicionado como estrategia para mejorar la calidad y cobertura de los servicios, no obstante, su implementación representa un desafío para el personal de salud. Objetivo: Determinar la percepción del uso del programa de telemedicina durante la pandemia por la COVID-19 en profesionales de salud de obstetricia. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal desarrollado en 40 profesionales de obstetricia que trabajaban en un programa de telemedicina de centros sanitarios del Ministerio de Salud y que fueron seleccionados de manera no aleatoria. Se utilizó un cuestionario validado en contenido y confiable. Se estimaron frecuencias y porcentajes. Resultados: El 45 % estuvo de acuerdo con que las capacitaciones fueron oportunas y eficientes, así como la determinación de roles y perfiles para un compromiso con el programa (50 %). No obstante, el 47,5 % señalaron la falta de articulación de las actividades en las distintas áreas. Al 85 % le pareció amigable la plataforma y al 70 % que tenía un sistema de registro de información eficiente. También que el programa brinda un acceso oportuno a los usuarios (60 %), optimiza el tiempo de consulta y cantidad de usuarios (52,5 %), y horarios más flexibles (55 %). Conclusiones: El programa de telemedicina es bien valorado por los profesionales de obstetricia, la reconocen como unaherramienta útil y tecnológicamente adecuada para mejorar el acceso y la calidad de la atención en salud. Sin embargo, es necesario perfeccionar la organización y la articulación de esta tecnología en las actividades profesionales.

RESUMO Introdução: Os médicos residentes constituem um grupo de risco para distúrbios emocionais e comportamentais, e isso pode levar à síndrome de burnout e interferir negativamente no atendimento prestado. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivos identificar os estressores vivenciados por residentes de ginecologia e obstetrícia (GO) de uma maternidade-escola do Sul do Brasil e estimar a prevalência da síndrome de burnout entre eles. Método: Realizou-se a coleta de dados de agosto a dezembro de 2020 com 21 residentes. A coleta compreendeu duas etapas: na primeira, fez-se uma entrevista semiestruturada, por meio de um roteiro-guia, visando identificar os estressores vivenciados pelos residentes em GO. Na sequência, os participantes receberam um questionário autoaplicável que teve por objetivo medir o nível de burnout pautado no Maslach Burnout Inventory. Para análise dos dados qualitativos, adotou-se a metodologia discurso do sujeito coletivo. Para análise dos dados quantitativos, foi utilizada a descrição analítica dos dados. Resultado: Entre os estressores vivenciados pelos residentes, destacam-se: falta de acolhimento pela equipe multiprofissional ao ingressarem na residência; excessiva carga horária de trabalho; poucas horas de sono; o desafio de se tornarem responsáveis pelo próprio aprendizado; as várias abordagens terapêuticas por preceptores diferentes para um mesmo problema; sensação de insuficiência de conteúdo teórico durante a residência; culpa por não estudarem o quanto acreditam que deveriam; diminuição do tempo destinado ao lazer e à atividade física; alto nível de estresse; abalo emocional que a grande responsabilidade assumida acarreta; e falta de apoio psicológico. Dos 21 médicos residentes, a síndrome de burnout esteve presente em 57,1% dos participantes. Exaustão emocional foi a mais frequente dimensão (52,7%), seguida por despersonalização (33,3%) e baixa realização profissional (9,5%). Conclusão: Os estressores relatados apontam para necessidade de revisão da residência a fim de que consequências nefastas à saúde mental de residentes, como a síndrome de burnout e suas consequências, sejam prevenidas, diminuídas ou sanadas, de modo a evitar danos tanto para os residentes como para os pacientes por eles atendidos e para instituição de saúde. São propostas medidas profiláticas na busca de melhorias na qualidade de vida, na qualidade do atendimento e, talvez no aspecto mais importante: a mudança de foco, da residência centrada no serviço para a residência centrada no aprendiz.

To identify the obstetric practices used in childbirth care and the association between obstetric and sociodemographic conditions of women and the route of delivery. This was a concurrent mixed-method study with 399 postpartum women, which used structured and semi-structured interviews, data from medical records, and the pregnant woman’s health record between August 2017 and March 2018 in a public maternity hospital in the state of Paraná. Content analysis and a chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Frequent obstetric interventions in childbirth care were identified, mainly the use of oxytocin, amniotomy, repeated vaginal exams, and episiotomy. Vaginal birth was associated with maternal age, usual risk, ruptured membranes, absent uterine dynamics, and uterine dilation greater than five on admission. In conclusion, there is frequent use of harmful, ineffective, or inappropriately used practices and incipient use of practices that should be encouraged. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumo Este estudo, de caráter misto e sequencial exploratório, objetivou identificar padrões relacionados a trajetória de mulheres gestantes e puérperas que evoluíram para situações de risco, desde sua chegada em um primeiro serviço de assistência até sua admissão em uma maternidade terciária. A fase quantitativa analisou 1.703 prontuários e registros de internação de mulheres assistidas em três maternidades terciárias da Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza, no Ceará, entre 2010 e 2019. Na fase qualitativa, realizada entre janeiro e setembro de 2020, participaram 14 mulheres sobreviventes ao Near Miss Materno (NMM), por meio da Entrevista Narrativa Autobiográfica de Schütze. Os achados desvelam como atrasos relacionados aos profissionais e ao sistema de saúde contribuíram para a peregrinação de gestantes e puérperas e, consequentemente, para os quadros de NMM. A peregrinação destas mulheres associa-se a problemas nas estruturas da rede de atenção e dos serviços de saúde. Assim, fazem-se necessários o uso de ferramentas de acompanhamento da qualidade do serviço prestado pelos profissionais de saúde, os processos assistenciais bem estabelecidos, as estruturas físicas e as Redes de Atenção à Saúde (RAS), que suportem o seguimento desses processos.

Este estudo objetivou analisar os desfechos maternos associados às intervenções realizadas durante o trabalho de parto de nulíparas de baixo risco. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com 534 parturientes nulíparas. Foram utilizados modelos de regressão gamma e regressão logística, para o nível de significância p

Resumo Introdução: Anticoncepção corresponde ao uso de métodos e técnicas com a finalidade de impedir que o relacionamento sexual resulte em gravidez. O médico residente em ginecologia e obstetrícia deve estar intimamente familiarizado com as múltiplas opções contraceptivas existentes, o modo de uso, os efeitos colaterais e suas contraindicações. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivos identificar o nível de conhecimento, atitude e prática dos médicos residentes de ginecologia e obstetrícia do estado de Pernambuco sobre anticoncepção, determinar sua autopercepção em indicar e contraindicar os métodos contraceptivos, avaliar as melhores indicações clínicas, como prescrevê-los e orientar seu uso. Método: Foi realizado um estudo de inquérito, do tipo corte transversal, com componente analítico. Durante o período de maio a julho de 2022, aplicou-se um questionário à população-alvo, composta pelos médicos residentes de ginecologia e obstetrícia do estado de Pernambuco, e obteve-se um tamanho amostral de 157 respostas, que foram analisadas no programa estatístico Stata, versão 12.0. Resultado: Os métodos contraceptivos mais utilizados por eles foram o ACO, o DIU Mirena, a camisinha peniana e o DIU de cobre. Mais de 90% da amostra afirmou conhecer os critérios de elegibilidade e o índice de Pearl, e pouco mais da metade respondeu corretamente aos casos clínicos sobre contracepção; 52,9% relataram que não faziam uso da dupla proteção, e 40,1% da amostra mencionou que nunca usava camisinha. A maioria dos entrevistados atestou possuir uma boa prática com LARC e com esterilização cirúrgica; uma boa parcela dos residentes entrevistados considerou-se apta a orientar todos os métodos anticoncepcionais. Conclusão: O conhecimento das indicações e contraindicações pode ser considerado satisfatório, apesar de chamar a atenção a presença de uma disparidade entre a autopercepção do saber e os acertos das questões a respeito de casos clínicos específicos. Em relação à atitude, as respostas foram controversas. No âmbito da prática, obtiveram-se os melhores resultados de autopercepção de habilidade, com destaque para a prática com os LARC e a esterilização cirúrgica. As autoavaliações demonstraram que mais da metade da amostra considerou seus conhecimentos, suas atitudes e suas práticas muito satisfatórios e/ou adequados.

Few studies in the literature have related organisational well-being and temperament according to Cloninger's bio-psycho-social model. This paper investigates the relationship between dimensions of temperament (NS; HA; RD) and character (CO; SD; ST; P) and dimensions of organisational well-being in Obstetrics and Gynaecology personnel. Thirty-eight subjects, predominantly women (89.5%) aged between 18 and 63 years, participated in the study (M=50.20 SD=9.81). The Temperament and Character Inventory of R. Cloninger et al. (1994) extended version and the C.I.V.I.T. questionnaire. Positive correlations emerged between Self- Directedness and positive perceptions of the context and work and negative correlations between Self-Directedness and negative perceptions of job security and discrimination. Work well-being may be related to certain character traits rather than temperament and this correlation suggests a connection between personality and work adaptation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The pelvis, formed by the ilium, ischium and pubis, forms the coxal, which is the largest of the flat bones of the skeleton, with an important role in the physiology of birth. Vastly studied in domestic animals, there is still much to be investigated regarding the anatomical classification in wild animals, mainly aiming to improve the understanding of the reproductive management of the species. Tamandua tetradactyla is one of these species in which morphological studies are still scarce, especially when it comes to reproductive aspects. In this context, we carried out the pelvimetry of T. tetradactyla using radiographic images to anatomically and obstetrically classify the pelvis of this species, classifying it as dolicopelvic, with evidence of homoscedasticity of the samples. Verification of the existence of a relationship between the variables studied by the statistical method of Pearson coefficients showed positive correlations of high intensity for the diameters studied (P < 0.01). Thus, we believed that our findings may support future reproductive studies in this species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivos: establecer la concordancia para evaluar el requerimiento de profilaxis farmacológica en el puerperio entre la escala del Royal College Obstetricians and Gynaecologists y la escala de la guía colombiana en una institución de cuarto nivel en Bogotá, Colombia. Materiales y métodos: estudio de concordancia diagnóstica ensamblado sobre un estudio transversal. Se incluyeron mujeres embarazadas con 24 o más semanas de gestación que ingresaron para inducción de trabajo de parto, en trabajo de parto activo, para cesárea electiva, o que requirieron cesárea de urgencia, hospitalizadas entre el 1 de marzo y 30 de abril de 2021 en una institución privada de alta complejidad en Bogotá, Colombia. Se realizó un muestreo por conveniencia. Se midieron variables demográficas, factores de riesgo, clasificación del riesgo y profilaxis farmacológica según las dos escalas. Se calculó la prevalencia de los factores de riesgo por cada escala y la concordancia en la indicación de la profilaxis entre las dos escalas por medio del valor de kappa ponderado. Resultados: se incluyeron 320 pacientes. La escala del Royal College Obstetricians and Gynaecologists clasificó al 54,7 % de las pacientes en riesgo bajo, riesgo intermedio al 42,5 % y riesgo alto al 2,8 %. La escala colombiana clasificó al 80 % de las pacientes en riesgo bajo, 17,2 % riesgo intermedio, 2,2 % riesgo alto y 0,6 % con riesgo muy alto. El valor kappa ponderado para la concordancia para indicación fue de 0,47 (IC 95 %: 0,38-0,56). Conclusiones: la concordancia de las dos escalas para definir requerimiento de profilaxis farmacológica en el posparto tiene un acuerdo moderado. Se considera es necesario validar los criterios de clasificación del riesgo de la escala colombiana en una segunda cohorte, además evaluar la capacidad predictiva de la herramienta de la guía colombiana en diferentes puntos de corte en términos de las consecuencias de falsos positivos y negativos.

Ultrasonography is one of the main methods of gestational diagnosis, in which it performs: biometry, monitoring of beats and organogenesis, detection of abnormalities and evaluation of maternal-fetal blood circulation. In this regard, intrauterine sonographic diagnosis of fetal abnormalities has been gaining space with the development of more advanced equipment, and has the potential to become a screening tool for this purpose. Based on the scarcity observed in this aspect, this study aims to report the intrauterine ultrasound diagnosis of a fetal abnormality in a pregnant feline. The patient was a 3-year-old Persian female with a history of natural mounting for 40 days. At ultrasonography, four live fetuses were visualized at approximately 38 days of age. A second ultrasonographic evaluation was performed after 12 days, and one fetus with cardiomegaly, heart rate oscillation and fetal distress was observed, while the other fetuses were within normal limits. The third scan was performed after four days, showing absence of heartbeat and presence of fluid in the pleural space in the fetus in question, confirming the death. Natural delivery occurred after one week, with the birth of three live pups and one stillborn. At necroscopic examination of the stillborn, generalized cardiomegaly was confirmed. We conclude that ultrasonography is a gold standard method for diagnosing fetal abnormalities, allowing birth planning and early intervention according to the situation. Thus, this study enriches the literature with more information related to fetal malformations observed before delivery, thus contributing to obstetric management in small animals.

Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o desfecho obstétrico de gestantes nulíparas pertencentes aos grupos 1 e 2 da Classificação de Robson (CR), atendidas em uma maternidade de grande porte de Porto Alegre/RS. Método: Foi um estudo quantitativo, com abordagem transversal e descritiva com população constituída de 478 parturientes que tiveram seu parto vaginal ou cesárea assistidos no hospital no período de 01/07/2018 a 01/01/2019. Resultados: Nos resultados, observou-se que 82,9% das gestantes incluídas no Grupo 1 tiveram parto vaginal, já as incluídas no grupo 2, a maioria (57,3%) tiveram cesariana como desfecho obstétrico. Conclusões: O estudo apontou uma porcentagem elevada de cesarianas em nulíparas, evidenciando a necessidade de melhoria nas estratégias para reduzir cada vez mais este índice, principalmente para as mulheres que estão parindo pela primeira vez.

O objetivo deste relato é descrever achados de laparotomia de uma gestação ectópica concomitante a piometra em felina. Foi atendido no dia 26 de setembro de 2020, em uma clínica veterinária particular A de Santarém-PA, uma felina, SRD de 3 anos, 3,95 kg diagnosticada com fecaloma, no exame de hemograma revelou apenas linfopenia. No entanto, a paciente não apresentou evolução clínica, sendo assim levada para clínica veterinária particular B no dia 02 de outubro de 2020, no exame físico de palpação percebeu-se a presença de uma massa firme e móvel na região abdominal esquerda, com ausência de distensão abdominal, normotermia, mucosas normocoradas, TPC 2 segundos, turgor cutâneo normal, sendo assim, foi solicitado laparotomia exploratória. Durante a cirurgia, foi observado feto na região abdominal esquerda aderido ao omento, além de material purulento observado no interior do útero incisado após cirurgia, caracterizando piometra. A ovariohisterectomia associada a laparotomia exploratória são ainda a melhor opção para o tratamento de piometra e ectopia, respectivamente.

A hipoplasia da veia cava inferior é uma patologia rara que integra o conjunto de anomalias do desenvolvimento da veia cava inferior. A sua incidência situa-se entre 0,3%-0,5% na população saudável e 5% nos adultos jovens sem fatores de risco para trombose venosa profunda, sendo considerada um importante fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de trombose dos membros inferiores. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é reportar a conduta obstétrica de um caso clínico de uma grávida diagnosticada com hipoplasia da veia cava inferior, prévia à gravidez. Trata-se de um caso clínico, de uma grávida, primigesta, com 37 anos, com hipoplasia da veia cava inferior e heterozigotia para o gene MTHFR677 diagnosticadas, na sequência de uma trombose venosa bilateral dos membros inferiores e do segmento infrarrenal da veia cava inferior. A gravidez foi seguida em consulta hospitalar na nossa instituição, tendo a grávida sido medicada com enoxaparina em dose profilática e ácido acetilsalicílico, com um período pré natal que decorreu sem intercorrências. Às 37 semanas e 6 dias de gestação, deu entrada no Serviço de Urgência de Obstetrícia por rotura prematura de membranas. Intraparto foram utilizadas meias de compressão pneumática intermitente, tendo o parto ocorrido às 38 semanas de gestação por via vaginal (parto eutócico), do qual nasceu um recém-nascido do sexo feminino, com 2620g e índice de Apgar 9/10/10. O presente caso clínico demonstra que em situações de hipoplasia da veia cava inferior com um seguimento obstétrico adequado é possível a realização de um parto vaginal, possibilitando um desfecho obstétrico favorável.

Objetivo: comprobar la tasa de evaluación correcta mediante la comparación visual directa de las medidas de dilatación cervical en modelos de cuello uterino de consistencia dura. Método: estudio aleatorizado abierto con 63 estudiantes de obstetricia a los que se les asignó usar o no la comparación visual directa con una guía de dilatación. Los estudiantes estimaron de forma ciega la dilatación cervical en simuladores con diferentes dilataciones. El resultado primario fue la tasa de evaluación correcta. Resultados: los estudiantes realizaron 441 pruebas. Se observó una mayor tasa de evaluación correcta en el grupo experimental que en el grupo control (47,3% versus 27,2%; p < 0,001; Odds Ratio = 2,41; intervalo de confianza del 95% = 1,62-3, 58). Conclusión: la comparación visual directa aumentó la precisión de la evaluación de la dilatación cervical en modelos de simulación de cuello, lo que podría ser beneficioso en el entrenamiento de laboratorio.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had effects on the health of health workers, including obstetricians, but the consequences in this occupational group are unknown. Objective: Determine the consequences of COVID-19 on the physical, psychological and social health of obstetricians in Peru. Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out on 511 attending obstetricians, in the first line of care. An online questionnaire, previously validated and reliable, was applied to measure the variables: general characteristics and exposure to COVID-19, physical health, psychological health, and social health. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: 468 (91.6%) obstetricians are women, 287 (56.2%) aged 40-59 years, 213 (41.7%) married, 292 (57.1%) working at the first level of care; 216 (42.3%) were infected with COVID-19, 165 (32.3%) had headache, 127 (24.9%) sore throat and 121 (23.7%) fatigue; 167 (77.3%) required outpatient treatment and 3 (1.3%) intensive care. Obesity reported by 102 (20.0%) obstetricians was the main comorbidity, followed by hypertension with 38 (7.4%) and diabetes with 14 (2.7%); 263 (51.5%) reported depressive symptoms and 464 (90.8%) stress; 238 (46.6%) felt discrimination and 118 (23.1%) carried the workload of the home alone. Conclusions: The physical, psychological and social health of obstetricians is affected by the pandemic; generates disorders of overweight/obesity, depression, stress; as well as discrimination and work overload at home.

Objective: Delimit parturient service profile and the OBGYN practices developed in the West Region Hospital between January and December of 2019. Methods: Consists of a quantitative transversal, retrospective, observational and descriptive research. Results: High rates of cesarean sections in the service (40%). Low rate of use of the partograph in care. According to the Robson Classification, most parturients (88%) fit between groups one to five, and 12% between groups six to ten. Conclusion: Cesarean rates higher than recommended by the World Health Organization due to a number of factors. The low rate of use of the partograph may indicate insecurity or lack of knowledge by professionals, lack of protocols, objections to its use, or outdated and lack of credibility of the instrument. National and international studies have shown a high rate of women between groups one to five being referred for cesarean section due to the lack of encouragement to good practices and the use of non-pharmacological methods and the failure to use the recommended instruments (partograph).

Background: Sirenomelia is a condition characterized by the abnormal development of the caudal body of a fetus, with partial or complete lower extremity fusion, also known as Mermaid Syndrome. The anomaly is a serious multisystemic malformation, generally involving the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. The exact cause of sirenomelia is unknown, and it is believed that environmental and genetic factors may play a role in the development of this anomaly. The prognosis for sirenomelia is poor, with a median survival of less than a week, and more than half of cases end in stillbirth. Aim: To report a case of sirenomelia treated in our Hospital. Method: This is a case report of a pregnant woman treated at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of the Hospital Universitário São Francisco na Providência de Deus - HUSF, located in the city of Bragança Paulista - SP, Brazil. Case Report: 17-year-old patient referred to the Fetal Medicine Service after a morphological ultrasound during pregnancy which demonstrated multiple malformations, including renal agenesis and severe oligohydramnios. The child was born prematurely and with sirenomelia, dying four hours after birth. Analysis of the placenta and umbilical cord revealed abnormalities in the fetus implantation, in addition to a single umbilical artery. Conclusion: Sirenomelia is a rare and fatal congenital anomaly, characterized by fusion of the lower extremities, often associated with additional malformations. Its etiology is poorly understood and possible risk factors include maternal diabetes, exposure to teratogenic drugs, genetic susceptibility, infections and maternal age. Based on the case described, it is suggested that ultrasound is crucial for early diagnosis and decision-making in cases of sirenomelia. Furthermore, raising awareness about preventing teenage pregnancy and controlling blood glucose levels in diabetic pregnant woman are essential to reduce the incidence of the syndrome.

Background: Congenital malformations are defects in the development of organs and body regions present from birth. Genetic and environmental factors can cause malformations, with some phenotypic associations sharing common etiological mechanisms. Understanding the epidemiological profile of malformations is essential for prevention campaigns and systematic care. Aim: To identify the epidemiological profile of congenital malformations diagnosed in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of a University Hospital located in the city of Bragança Paulista - SP, Brazil. Method: This is a retrospective, descriptive, and quantitative study that includes internal notifications of congenital malformations identified in the fetuses of pregnant women treated at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of the Hospital Universitário São Francisco na Providência de Deus - HUSF. Results: The sample of this study consisted of 95 malformation notifications, 21 in 2017 (22.11%), 10 in 2018 (10.53%), 10 in 2019 (10.53%), 13 in 2020 (13.69%), 12 in 2021 (12.63%), 14 in 2022 (14.73%) and 15 in 2023 (15.78%). The frequency of malformations in 2017 was significantly higher than that observed in the rest of the years evaluated (p = 0.04). The average maternal age during the studied period was 29.3 ± 7.4 years. The most commonly identified malformations were those occurring in structures of the central nervous system, as well as those identified in the cardiovascular system. Conclusion: In our study, the most frequent malformations were associated with structures of the central nervous system, as well as cardiovascular structures. Despite the fact that this specific survey did not evaluate risk factors in pregnant women, it is noteworthy that contact with agricultural products may beassociated with malformations, suggesting the need to create campaigns to inform pregnant women about the dangers of exposure to these compounds.

Background: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is rare and potentially lethal, occurring mainly in the third trimester of pregnancy, and can also occur in the immediate postpartum period, with a prevalence of 1 in every 16,000 pregnancies. It mainly occurs in primigravida women and is associated with preeclampsia, male newborn, multiple pregnancies, BMI < 20, and maternal obesity. The signs and symptoms are nonspecific and can progress to severe cases, even leading to maternal and fetal death. Diagnosis is based on Swansea criteria. The only effective treatment is delivery, and supportive treatment is essential. Aim: To report a case of acute fatty liver of pregnancy treated in our service. Case report: Patient a 28-year-old primigravida with untreated gestational diabetes mellitus, at term gestational age, presenting with lower abdominal pain, decreased fetal movement, and fetal bradycardia. A cesarean section was performed, and premature placental abruption was observed. The patient developed hypoglycemia, poor general condition, coagulopathy, and jaundice. The patient developed hepatic encephalopathy, which was reversed. After 19 days of hospitalization, she showed clinical improvement, was discharged, and followed up with a multidisciplinary team. Conclusion: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is pregnancy-exclusive pathology, associated with a potentially fatal clinical course that can lead to multiple organ failure. Regardless of the timing of occurrence, AFLP presents with a similar and indistinguishable presentation. The only consideration that must be taken into account is the appropriate treatment for each period, always considering that delivery is the only treatment that establishes a cure.

Undoubtedly, great advances have been made in terms of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. However, in Mexican Social Security System, the quality of maternal care is questionable, as reflected in proportions of cesarean births three times higher than those recommended by WHO, abandonment of exclusive breastfeeding and the fact that up to one in three women is a victim of abuse during delivery. Given this, the IMSS decides to implement the model called Integral Maternal Care AMIIMSS, focused on users experience and based on friendly obstetric care, along different stages of the reproductive process. Four pillars underpin the model, women's empowerment, infrastructure adaptation, training and adaptation of processes and standards. Although there are advances, with 73 pre-labor rooms enabled and 14,103 friendly attentions granted, there are pending tasks and challenges. In terms of empowerment, the birth plan needs to be included as an institutional practice. In terms of infrastructure adequacy, a budget is required to build and adapt friendly spaces. In addition, it is necessary to update the staffing tables and include new categories, for an adequate operation of the program. On training, the adaptation of academic plans for doctors and nurses is pending. In terms of processes and regulations, there is a lack of qualitative evaluation of the impact of the program on people's experience and satisfaction and elimination of obstetric violence.

The worldwide incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in pregnancy is 1.6 to 6.3 per 10,000 pregnancies. In developing countries, maternal mortality due to secondary complications of acute kidney injury is 4 to 5.8%. As it is well known, most cases of acute kidney injury in obstetrics occur during the puerperium, its presentation has been associated with an increase in fetal morbidity and mortality, compared to normoevolutive pregnancies.

La ruptura prematura de membranas se define como la pérdida de la integridad de las membranas corioamnióticas que se producen desde las 20 semanas de gestación hasta antes del inicio del trabajo de parto, se produce en el 10 % de las gestaciones y se asocia a la morbi-mortalidad materna neonatal. Se requiere que los profesionales de enfermería implementen cuidados individualizados e integrales para cubrir las necesidades reales y potenciales. El proceso de atención de enfermería sirve como instrumento para dar un abordaje biopsicosocial mediante la aplicación del método científico. El objetivo de este estudio de caso fue elaborar el proceso de atención de enfermería mediante la valoración en base a los dominios NANDA y el uso de las taxonomías estandarizadas NANDA-NIC-NOC, para que sirva como base de construcción de guías y protocolos de atención a usuarias gestantes con esta patología. Los diagnósticos enfermeros planteados son: privación del sueño, conocimientos deficientes, riesgo de alteración de la diada materno-fetal, ansiedad, riesgo de infección y dolor de parto. A su vez las intervenciones son: mejorar el sueño, preparación al parto, monitorización de los signos vitales, monitorización fetal, disminución de la ansiedad, protección contra las infecciones, administración de medicación y manejo del dolor.

Objective: To describe the quality of clinical records of deliveries and births by quantitative assessing the unfilled variables in birth data collection forms and their implications at Maternity Hospital, in the municipality of Lubango, Angola. Method: The study was conducted from January to August 2018. It adopted a quantitative research design, analysed variables not filled in a total of 202 birth record forms collected for 3 months (secondary data). Results: The findings revealed that 80% of the sections of the entire set of information about obstetrical history were not filled in. This occurred with a relatively high frequency resulting in some of the relevant variables being left blank, such as antenatal diagnosis (94%) and the number of last menstruation (91%). Conclusions: The rate of missing fundamental information from the clinical birth record are high. This result has important implications in evaluating the quality of data and may, consequently, jeopardize: 1) the evaluation of the prenatal assistance, 2) the clinical assistance at delivery, and 3) decision-making for preventive and intervening procedures. Resumen: Objetivo: Describir la calidad de los registros clínicos de partos y nacimientos mediante la evaluación cuantitativa de las variables no cumplimentadas en los formularios de recolección de datos de nacimiento y sus implicaciones en el Hospital de Maternidad de Lubango, Angola. Método: El estudio se realizó de enero a agosto de 2018. Adoptó un diseño de investigación cuantitativa y analizó variables no cumplimentadas en un total de 202 registros de nacimiento recolectados durante 3 meses (datos secundarios). Resultados: Los hallazgos revelaron que el 80% de las secciones de todo el conjunto de información sobre la historia obstétrica no se completaron. Esto ocurrió con una frecuencia relativamente alta, lo que provocó que algunas de las variables relevantes se dejaran en blanco, como el diagnóstico prenatal (94%) y el número de la última menstruación (91%). Conclusiones: La tasa de falta de información fundamental en el registro clínico de nacimientos es alta. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones importantes en la evaluación de la calidad de los datos y, en consecuencia, pueden poner en peligro: 1) la evaluación de la asistencia prenatal, 2) la asistencia clínica al parto y 3) la toma de decisiones para los procedimientos preventivos e intervinientes.

Introduction: The Medicine career at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile has undergone subsequent adjustments in its study plan. In this context, the theoretical-practical course of Obstetrics and Gynecology changed according to current paradigms in Medical Education. This research aims to describe the implementation and evaluation (student satisfaction and learning) of a blended learning (B-Learning modality) course in Obstetrics and Gynecology for medical students. Methods: A retrospective and descriptive design was used. Student satisfaction and learning was analized comparing the B-Learning to the face-to-face teaching previously used. Results: Students with the B-Learning modality reported dedicating more time to the course, better achievement of learning outcomes, and better perception of assessment and feedback. The average achievement of students with the B-Learning modality was slightly lower than that of other students; however, they demonstrated better performance on more complex assessment questions. Student satisfaction with the learning process was higher for B-Learning than face-to-face classes. Conclusions: B-Learning students had a similar level of learning attainment compared with the face-to-face modality but showed better performance on assessment questions that required a higher level of integration. This information is vitally important in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, as much medical education has had to be carried out remotely during this time.

Introduction: Scientific publication is fundamental for the development of knowledge. In the health field, evidence-based practice is promoted; therefore, it is necessary for higher education teachers to carry out research as part of their training. Objective: To describe the profile of obstetrics university teachers at a public university according to their scientific production. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out on Obstetrics teachers of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos to whom a questionnaire was applied to identify their characteristics; and a data sheet was used to identify the characteristics of their publications. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed at a 95% confidence level. Results: 36.1% of obstetrics teachers published a scientific article between 2011 and 2020; 110 articles were identified, of which 68.2% were original articles, 54.4% had a teacher as the main author, 26.4% were indexed in Scopus. Differences were found between teachers who did or did not publish a scientific article with respect to training in thesis advising (p= 0.007), in scientific writing (p= 0.001), with participation in research workshops (p< 0.001), those responsible for courses (p< 0.001) and with experience in thesis advising (p< 0.001). Conclusions: There is a low proportion of obstetrics teachers who publish scientific articles; in addition; various academic, work and especially research characteristics are associated with this knowledge production.

Objetivo: Compreender a percepção da mulher surda acerca do atendimento no sistema de saúde durante o processo de pré-natal, parto e puerpério. Metodologia: Estudo de campo descritivo de abordagem qualitativa, realizado com nove mulheres surdas que foram acompanhadas nos serviços de saúde durante os períodos citados. A coleta de dados aconteceu por meio de plataforma online, gravada em áudio e vídeo. Para organização das informações, utilizou-se análise temática. Resultados: Os resultados apontam que em todo o ciclo gravídico-puerperal há presença da barreira de comunicação, resultando na falha da promoção do cuidado, onde estas mulheres necessitam de uma terceira pessoa como interlocutor devido a falta de profissionais intérpretes nas instituições de saúde. Conclusão: A falha na acessibilidade para as mulheres surdas durante o atendimento nos serviços de saúde as coloca numa posição de fragilidade, na qual estas tornam-se ainda mais vulneráveis por não receberem o cuidado integral pelos profissionais de saúde.
