To estimate the effect of supervised physical exercise on maternal fitness, fetoplacental blood flow, and fetal growth.This was a randomized controlled trial comparing three groups pregnant women. Groups were as follows: initiated at 13 weeks (group A); 20 B); control group (no exercise; C). The women in A B walked moderate intensity times weekly. Physical fitness level evaluated 13, 20, 28. Fetal growth uteroplacental flow monthly. Birth weight registered. Analysis variance for repeat...
Abstract The objective of this study is to determine the incidence, socio-demographic and clinical risk factors for preeclampsia associated maternal perinatal adverse outcomes. This a nested case-control derived from multicentre cohort Preterm SAMBA, in five different centres Brazil, with nulliparous healthy pregnant women. Clinical data were prospectively collected, assessed comparatively between PE cases controls using ratio (RR) (95% CI) plus multivariate analysis. Complete available...
The association of body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) with preterm birth (PTB) remains controversial in the literature. To evaluate different maternal BMI GWG categories, according to initial BMI, relation PTB subtypes perinatal outcomes, we conducted a secondary analysis multicentre cross-sectional study, along nested case-control study including from 20 centers Brazil. Pre-pregnancy underweight was associated lower risk provider-initiated PTB, while overweight obesity...
Abstract Background Prediction of preeclampsia is a challenge to overcome. The vast majority prospective studies in large general obstetric populations have failed the purpose obtain useful and effective model prediction, sometimes based on complex tools unavaible areas where incidence highest. goal this study was assess mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) levels at 19–21, 27–29 37–39 weeks gestation performance screening by MAP for prediction Brazilian cohort healthy nulliparous pregnant...
A sophisticated literature review (LR) can result in a robust dissertation/thesis by scrutinizing the main problem examined academic study; anticipating research hypotheses, methods and results; maintaining interest of audience how will provide solutions for current gaps particular field. Unfortunately, little guidance is available on elaborating LRs, writing an LR chapter not linear process. An translates students' abilities information literacy, language domain, critical writing. Students...
Abstract Preterm birth is the major contributor for neonatal and under-five years mortality rates also accounts a short- long-term adverse consequences up to adulthood. Perinatal outcomes may vary according lots of factors as preterm subtype, late prematurity, which account vast majority cases, country population characteristics. An under-recognition perinatal its associated might have underpowered strategies provide adequate care prevent occurrence. We aim estimate frequency maternal in...
Abstract Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) is a major pregnancy complication involving biological, social, behavioural and environmental mechanisms. Workload, shift intensity may play role in the occurrence of sPTB. This analysis aimed addressing effect occupational activities on risk for sPTB related outcomes. We conducted secondary EMIP study, Brazilian multicentre cross-sectional study. For this analysis, we included 1,280 singleton 1,136 term cases. Independent variables sociodemographic...
Although maternal nutrition has an impact on fetal development and gestational outcome, tracking in outpatient practice is still complex involves proper technical capacitation this area. Nevertheless, the association between nutritional variables may broaden ability to predict occurrence of disorders prevention management. We aimed identify factors that could indicate probability adverse outcomes mid-pregnancy. From a cohort 1165 nulliparous pregnant women without any previous disease,...
In Brazil, although the assessment of maternal nutritional status is recommended using body mass index (BMI), this only possible in settings adequately prepared. Midupper arm circumference (MUAC) another biological variable identified as a tool for rapid that correlated with BMI. Therefore, we aim to surrogate BMI by MUAC cut-offs screening starting at midpregnancy.Analysis multicentre cohort study entitled 'Preterm SAMBA' an approach validation diagnostic test.Outpatient prenatal care...
Abstract Background Resilience reflects coping with pregnancy-specific stress, including physiological adaptations of the maternal organism or factors arising from socioeconomic context, such as low income, domestic violence, drug and alcohol use, lack a support network other vulnerability characteristics. is dynamic characteristic that should be comparatively evaluated within specific context; its association perceived stress social during pregnancy still not fully understood. This study...
OBJETIVO: determinar a frequência de macrossomia nos recém-nascidos vivos em um serviço obstétrico referência e sua associação com fatores risco maternos. MÉTODOS: foi realizado estudo descritivo, transversal, incluindo 551 puérperas internadas no Instituto Saúde Elpídio Almeida, Campina Grande (PB), entre agosto outubro 2007. Foram incluídas as mulheres cujos partos foram assistidos na instituição, uma gestação única, abordadas primeiro dia do período pós-parto. analisadas características...
Our aim was to describe the steps in planning, implementing, and running a multicentre cohort study of maternal perinatal health using high-quality biobank comprised serum, plasma, hair samples collected from five sites Brazil. The Preterm SAMBA study, conducted by Brazilian Network for Studies on Reproductive Perinatal Health, an innovative approach used identify women at higher risk preterm birth. It is also great importance other complications context Brazil, which middle-income...
The objective of this study was to determine incidence and risk factors associated with spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). It a prospective multicentre cohort performed in five Brazilian referral maternity hospitals enrolling nulliparous women at 19-21 weeks. Comprehensive maternal data collected during three visits were addressed as potentially for sPTB. Bivariate multivariate analysis estimated ratios. main outcomes measures before 37 weeks due labour or premature rupture membranes...
Pregnant and postpartum women infected by COVID-19 are at increased risk of adverse outcomes, including negative effects on their mental health. Brazilian maternal mortality rate due to is 2.5 times higher than overall rates. This study aimed understand how pregnant/postpartum experienced the suspicion/investigation or confirmed infection in different cities, pandemic's consequences families, needs improve health services during public emergencies.
Objective To assess the incidence and risk factors for hyperglycemia in pregnancy a cohort of Brazilian nulliparous pregnant women. Materials methods This is secondary analysis multicenter study that enrolled 1,008 women at 19–21 weeks. Exclusion criteria included chronic exposure to corticosteroids previous diabetes. Bivariate multivariate analyses by Poisson regression were used identify associated factors. Results The was 14.9% (150/1,008), 94.7% these cases gestational diabetes mellitus...
INTRODUCTION: With the adoption of a policy restrictive episiotomy, interest in studying and preventing spontaneous lacerations childbirth has increased. The present study was conducted to determine main risk factors for perineal requiring suture vaginal deliveries without episiotomy. METHODS: We prospective cohort including 400 assisted public hospital Brazil. During second stage labor, maneuvers as such directed pushing, fundal pressure, Valsalva maneuver were avoided. A no episiotomy...
Small for gestational age (SGA) may be associated with neonatal morbidity and mortality. Our understanding of the molecular pathways implicated is poor.Our aim was to determine metabolic involved in pathophysiology SGA examine their variation between maternal biofluid samples.Plasma (Cork) urine (Cork, Auckland) samples were collected at 20 weeks' gestation from nulliparous low-risk pregnant women participating SCOPE study. Women who delivered an infant (birthweight < 10th percentile)...
