Objective: To assess the risk for preeclampsia (PE) by maternal characteristics, serum placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) at 30-33 weeks' gestation. Methods: This was a screening study in singleton pregnancies including 2,140 that subsequently developed PE 83,615 were unaffected PE, gestational hypertension or delivery of small-for-gestational-age neonates (normal group). We survival time model combination characteristics history with PlGF sFlt-1...
To investigate the potential value of uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 35-37 weeks' gestation in prediction delivery small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates, absence pre-eclampsia (PE).This was a screening study singleton pregnancies weeks, including 245 that delivered SGA neonates with birth weight < 5(th) percentile 4876 cases unaffected by SGA, PE or gestational hypertension. Multivariable logistic regression analysis used to determine if...

In an era of worldwide population displacement, recent studies have identified strong associations between social situations and perinatal outcomes among immigrants. Little is known about the effect maternal background on pregnancy outcomes. The Human Development Index (HDI) assesses following dimensions human development: life expectancy, education level income. objective our study was to determine if HDI may be used identify women at increased odds poor We conducted a longitudinal...
The available literature suggests that there are significant differences in maternal mortality according to origin high income countries. objective of this study was quantify the risk death by and region Spain where birth occurred identify most important causes our country.An ecological cross-sectional conducted included all deliveries resulted survival cases during 1999-2015 Spain. A descriptive analysis rate origin, year performed. calculated using univariate multivariate logistic...
To assess risk for preeclampsia (PE) based on maternal characteristics, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and uterine artery pulsatility index (Ut-PI) at 30-33 weeks' gestation.Screening study in singleton pregnancies including 2,140 that subsequently developed PE 83,615 were unaffected by PE, gestational hypertension or delivery of small-for-gestational-age neonates (normal group). We a survival time model the combination characteristics history with MAP Ut-PI multiple median (MoM) values...
Background and purpose Neurofilament light chain is a cytoskeletal protein of neurons. Its levels are increasingly recognized as measures neuroaxonal damage. The aim this study was to explore serum neurofilament ( sNfL ) in multiple sclerosis MS patients healthy controls during pregnancy puerperium. Methods This prospective, longitudinal, single‐center study. concentration assessed using highly sensitive single‐molecule array puerperium, cohort 39 pregnant with relapsing (P‐ ). Twenty‐one...
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathy that responsible for multiple visceral abnormalities. This disorder defined by combination of clinical signs, many which appear after several years development. BBS may be suspected antenatally based on routine ultrasound findings enlarged hyperechogenic kidneys and postaxial polydactyly.
To rule out maternal and pregnancy factors that may contribute to platelet count (PLT) changes in the first trimester of gestation examine if there is any association between its levels adverse perinatal outcome.The study population included all patients from first-trimester visit 2013-2015 with results. Linear multiple regression was constructed variables have a significant contribution PLT. For each outcome at birth, logistic analysis implemented estimate PLT effect.PLT measured 6092...
Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is perhaps the most worrisome pandemic in 21st century, having entailed devastating consequences for whole society during last year. Different studies have displayed an existing association between pregnancy and COVID-19 severity due to various physiological changes that occur gestation. Recent data identified maternal country of origin as important determinant presentation pregnant women. However, explanation this fact remains be fully elucidated....
Abstract Objective Non‐cirrhotic portal vein cavernoma (PVC) is a cause of hypertension (PH) frequently affecting women childbearing age. Cavernous transformation the associated with prothrombotic disorders and often entails multiple hemodynamic changes, porto‐collateral shunt development thrombopenia, all which can affect course pregnancy. Our aim was to evaluate risk PH‐related complications pregnancy outcomes in patients PVC. Methods Retrospective case series study PVC undergoing tertiary...
We present a rare case of mirror syndrome due to anti-Kpa antibodies, which can be difficult identify with routine screening tests.
Abstract Background The available literature indicates that there are significant differences in maternal mortality according to origin high income countries. aim of this study was examine the trend rate and its most common causes Spain recent years analyse relationship with origin. Methods This a cross-sectional all live births as well those resulting death during period between 2000 2018. A descriptive analysis by cause, region birth, age, marital status, human development index continent...
BACKGROUND Low birth weight (LBW) can be an important adverse neonatal outcome in terms of morbidity and mortality. The aim this study is to investigate the screening effectiveness first-trimester low pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) high serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) combination both markers for predicting LBW. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort women undergoing assessment our center. considered PAPP-A as 2.5 mU/L, according American Thyroid Association...
To compare fetal images obtained at the first- and second-trimester ultrasound scan when applying Cardiovascular System Sonographic Evaluation Algorithm (CASSEAL).Using CASSEAL protocol, nine sequential axial views were acquired in B-mode color Doppler scans, visualizing main components of extended cardiovascular system. Images compared qualitatively between both trimesters.We comparable for all described with few differences limitations.The protocol is reproducible first trimester, could...
To examine the influence of age, sex and height on symphysis-ischial spine distance (SID) measured pelvic Computed tomography (CT)images in subjects reproductive to determine interobserver reproducibility. This measurement is great importance because use intrapartum ultrasound based assumption a specific value (30 mm) such measurement. was cross-sectional descriptive study which SID aged 20 44 years who had been scheduled for CT at our centre from January 2018 May 2021 different reasons....
