To investigate the association of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and immune-response (SIRI) with adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).The cases were divided into (1) Mild-moderate COVID-19 group (n = 2437) (2) Severe-critical 212). Clinical characteristics, outcomes, SII (neutrophilXplatelet/lymphocyte), SIRI (neutrophilXmonocyte/lymphocyte) compared between groups. Afterward, values subgroups based on pregnancy complications, neonatal...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly around the world, causing massive morbidity and mortality. Vaccination during puerperium protects both mother newborn is important to keep pandemic under control.Women who gave birth at Ankara City Hospital between February 11, 2021 March 21, were included. Data collected through a face-to-face questionnaire.We asked 412 postpartum women surveyed about their acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine; 137 (33.3%) them wanted be vaccinated, while 275...
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to present perinatal outcomes, clinical challenges, and basic ICU management in pregnant women with severe-critical COVID-19 at our tertiary referral center. Methods In this prospective cohort study, patients were divided into two groups, whether they survived or not. Clinical characteristics, obstetric neonatal initial laboratory test results radiologic imaging findings, arterial blood gas parameters admission, complications interventions compared...
Abstract Objectives To investigate the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on fetal immune system by thymus size measurements with ultrasound (USG). Methods This prospective study was conducted in Turkish Ministry Health Ankara City Hospital between November 1, 2020 and April 2021, recovered, pregnant women, four weeks after they had been confirmed for real-time polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR). COVID-19 recovered (CR) women compared age-matched controls terms demographic features,...
To compare the fetal cardiac functions in preeclampsia and control group, determine whether severity or amount of proteinuria affects functions.This prospective case-control study involves 48 pregnant women with healthy women. Pulsed wave Doppler, M-mode, tissue Doppler imaging were used to measure function between 32 34 gestational weeks each group. All indices parameters also compared subgroups mild severe >3 g/24 hours <3 hours.Decreased diastolic (decreased E, A, E', A' values...
To determine whether changes in fetal heart function according to glycemic control pregnant women with Type 1 and 2 diabetes using spectral tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) M-mode imaging.This study included 68 pregestational diabetic (DM) at 30-32 gestational weeks. All participants were divided into two groups: type 1(n = 17) 2(n 51), then these groups the subgroups as well-controlled poorly controlled, fasting glucose (FG) 1-h postprandial (PPG) values. Cardiac parameters compared for well-...
Abstract Objective To assess the effect of nifedipine used for tocolysis on cardiac morphology and functions. Methods The study included 47 pregnant women diagnosed with preterm labor at 32–33 weeks. Fetal echocardiographic evaluation was performed two‐dimensional (2D) imaging, M‐mode, pulsed wave (PW) Doppler, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) before after 48 th hour treatment. Results No significant change observed in parameters (pulsatility indices umbilical artery, middle cerebral ductus...
To compare the fetal pulmonary artery Doppler indices of pregnant women with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren's syndrome (SS), and antiphospholipid (APS) healthy women.Thirty-nine pregnancies were included in case group, 19 them SLE, 12 SS, eight APS. The gestational age-matched 54 control group. Peak systolic velocity, time-averaged systolic/diastolic ratio, pulsatility index, resistance acceleration time (AT), ejection (ET), AT/ET ratio obtained from...
This study aims to evaluate sonographic measurements of fetal adrenal gland size and middle artery Doppler in pregnancies with growth restriction (FGR) a healthy control group.This prospective included 107 singleton FGR between 24 42 weeks gestation fetuses whose was appropriate for gestational age (AGA). Adrenal parameters the were measured values obstetric outcomes compared groups.In group, Z-scores total width-length height, zone artery-peak systolic velocity (MAA-PSV) significantly...
To investigate the fetal thymic-thoracic ratio (TT-ratio) in pregnancies diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Thirty-two pregnant women rheumatic disease 96 low-risk between 20 37 weeks were included study. Three control patients randomly selected for each study patient. TT-ratio was calculated by measuring anterior-posterior diameter of thymus intrathoracic mediastinal diameter. Data compared group, including RA AS, group.Thirty-two arthritis, 19 13...
To assess the epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and modified myocardial performance index (Mod-MPI) measurements in fetuses at pregnant women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (pPROM) compare them to healthy women's fetuses.Forty patients who presented our clinic 24-36 + 6 gestational weeks were diagnosed pPROM included patient group. During same period, 40 similar randomly selected as control group.The groups terms demographics. In group, EFT, Mod-MPI, isovolumetric contraction(ICT)...
OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to investigate the knowledge and attitudes of obstetricians about probiotics, prebiotics, microbiota evaluate differences by years in profession. STUDY DESIGN: This cross-sectional study was conducted on working a tertiary center. A non-validated questionnaire consisting 18 questions collected face-to-face. The first part evaluated sociodemographic data duration profession, other parts assessed prebiotic, probiotic, their toward prescribing or suggesting...
Abstract Purpose To investigate fetal pulmonary artery Doppler parameters in pregnant women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods This case–control study included 24 diagnosed 13 AS 11 RA 48 healthy at 29–30 weeks of gestation. The demographic clinical features were recorded, including disease type duration, attacks during pregnancy, medications. Pulmonary acceleration time (AT), ejection (ET), to (PATET) ratio measured by manual trace spectral ultrasound....
This study aims to investigate the effects of maternal asthma on fetal cardiac functions.The was planned with 30 pregnant women who presented a tertiary health center and were diagnosed 60 healthy controls similar gestational ages. The echocardiographic assessment assessed between 33 35 weeks gestation pulsed-wave Doppler (PW), M-mode, tissue imaging (TDI). Fetal functions compared control group. Cardiac according duration diagnosis, as well.Early diastolic function parameters, tricuspid E...
To compare maternal serum midkine (MK) level in pregnant women with idiopathic fetal growth restriction (FGR) and healthy. In addition, we assessed the value of MK predicting neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission.A total 144 were included, 72 FGR healthy this study. The control group was matched for mother's age, parity, gestational pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) at time recruitment into study sample collection.Serum is higher than (0.24 ng/mL (0.19-0.32) vs. 0.18 (0.14-0.23),...
We aimed to compare maternal serum midkine level in pregnant women with different types of diabetes mellitus (DM) and healthy women. also assessed performance predict adverse neonatal outcomes the DM group.The study included 57 diagnosed gestational (GDM) 41 preexisting DMThe control group consisted 98 women.Serum is higher than ones (0.93 ± 0.8 vs. 0.23 0.2, p<.001).
