早孕期监测子宫动脉多普勒参数在预测低危人群不良妊娠结局的价值

目的 建立妊娠11~13+6周子宫动脉多普勒参数在低危人群中的正常参考值，同时评估其对不良妊娠结局的预测价值。方法 收集2019年6月至2021年6月于我院行产前超声检查的妊娠11~13+6周孕妇，根据妊娠结局分组。收集两侧子宫动脉多普勒指标，包括搏动指数（PI）、阻力指数（RI）、舒张早期是否有切迹，以及孕妇基本临床资料和胎儿出生信息，将以上相关参数进行统计学分析。结果 最终纳入800例孕妇，包括正常妊娠结局组740例和不良妊娠结局组60例。两组孕妇体质量指数（BMI）、分娩孕周和胎儿出生体质量比较，差异均有统计学意义（均P＜0.05）。随着孕周的增加，子宫动脉两侧平均搏动指数（mPI）、平均阻力指数（mRI）和两侧舒张早期切迹检出率均呈逐渐下降的趋势。ROC曲线分析显示，mPI、mRI及两侧舒张早期切迹预测妊娠结局的曲线下面积（AUC）分别为0.542、0.574、0.521，三者联合预测妊娠结局的AUC为0.648；孕妇BMI、年龄mPI、mRI及两侧舒张早期切迹预测妊娠结局的AUC为0.751。结论 建立了低危人群在妊娠11~13+6周子宫动脉多普勒参数的正常参考值范围。在妊娠11~13+6周单纯应用子宫动脉多普勒参数预测妊娠结局的价值有限，将子宫动脉参数与临床相关指标结合可提高对不良妊娠结局的预测价值。     

Obstetric analgesia and anaesthesia in SARS-CoV-2-positive parturients across 10 maternity units in the north-west of England: a retrospective cohort study

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have reported anaesthetic outcomes in parturients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. We reviewed the labour analgesic and anaesthetic interventions utilised in symptomatic and asymptomatic parturients who had a confirmed positive test for SARS-CoV-2 across 10 hospitals in the north-west of England between 1 April 2020 and 31 May 2021. Primary outcomes analysed included the analgesic/anaesthetic technique utilised for labour and caesarean birth. Secondary outcomes included a comparison of maternal characteristics, caesarean birth rate, maternal critical care admission rate along with adverse composite neonatal outcomes. A positive SARS-CoV-2 test was recorded in 836 parturients with 263 (31.4%) reported to have symptoms of COVID-19. Neuraxial labour analgesia was utilised in 104 (20.4%) of the 509 parturients who went on to have a vaginal birth. No differences in epidural analgesia rates were observed between symptomatic and asymptomatic parturients (OR 1.03, 95%CI 0.64–1.67; p = 0.90). The neuraxial anaesthesia rate in 310 parturients who underwent caesarean delivery was 94.2% (95%CI 90.6–96.0%). The rates of general anaesthesia were similar in symptomatic and asymptomatic parturients (6% vs. 5.7%; p = 0.52). Symptomatic parturients were more likely to be multiparous (OR 1.64, 95%CI 1.19–2.22; p = 0.002); of Asian ethnicity (OR 1.54, 1.04–2.28; p = 0.03); to deliver prematurely (OR 2.16, 95%CI 1.47–3.19; p = 0.001); have a higher caesarean birth rate (44.5% vs. 33.7%; OR 1.57, 95%CI 1.16–2.12; p = 0.008); and a higher critical care utilisation rate both pre- (8% vs. 0%, p = 0.001) and post-delivery (11% vs. 3.5%; OR 3.43, 95%CI 1.83–6.52; p = 0.001). Eight neonates tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 while no differences in adverse composite neonatal outcomes were observed between those born to symptomatic and asymptomatic mothers (25.8% vs. 23.8%; OR 1.11, 95%CI 0.78–1.57; p = 0.55). In women with COVID-19, non-neuraxial analgesic regimens were commonly utilised for labour while neuraxial anaesthesia was employed for the majority of caesarean births. Symptomatic women with COVID-19 are at increased risk of significant maternal morbidity including preterm birth, caesarean birth and peripartum critical care admission.     

The prevalence of non-accidental trauma among children with polytrauma: A nationwide level-I trauma centre study

ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of non-accidental trauma (NAT) in children with polytrauma treated at level-I trauma centres (TC).Summary of backgroundData 6–10% Of children who present at the emergency department with injuries, sustain polytrauma. Polytrauma may result from either accidental (AT) or NAT, i.e. inflicted or neglect. The prevalence of NAT among children with polytrauma is currently unclear.MethodsThis is a retrospective study that included children (0–18 years) with an Injury Severity Score >15, who presented at one of the 11 Level-I trauma centers (TC) in the Netherlands between January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2016. Outcomes were classified based on the conclusions of the Child Abuse and Neglect-team. Cases in which conclusions were unavailable and there was no clear accidental cause of injuries were reviewed by an expert panel.ResultsThe study included 1623 children, 1452 (89%) were classified as AT, 171 (11%) as NAT; 39 (2,4%) inflicted and 132 (8,1%) neglect. Of pre-school aged children (<5 years) 41% sustained NAT (OR26.73, 95%CI 17.70–40.35), 35/342 (10%) inflicted and 104/342 (31%) neglect. Admission due to ‘cardiopulmonary arrest’ was the result of inflicted trauma (30% vs 0%,p < 0.001). NAT had a higher mortality rate (16% vs 10%, p = 0.006). Indicators of NAT were: (near-)drowning (OR10.74, 95%CI 5.94–19.41), burn (OR8.62, 95%CI 4.08–18.19) and fall from height (OR2.18, 95%CI 1.56–3.02).ConclusionsNAT was the cause of polytrauma in 11% of children in our nationwide level-I TC study; 41% of these polytrauma were the result of NAT experienced by preschool-aged children. Our data show the importance of awareness for NAT.

目的对三位一体无缝隙护理在妊娠期高血压中的应用进行观察和分析。方法选择了2018年6月—2018年12月在本院进行了妊娠期高血压护理的60例患者进行研究,对所有患者均采取了三位一体无缝隙护理,对所有患者干预前后血压控制情况、生命质量评分以及心理健康评分进行对比。结果在进行干预之后,患者的血压控制情况、生命质量以及心理健康情况均显著优于干预之前,P<0.05差异有统计学意义。结论在对妊娠期高血压患者护理时,采取三位一体无缝隙护理措施可以对患者血压情况进行控制,缓解患者负面情绪,能够给予患者以及胎儿一定的保障。     

Can a conditional cash transfer reduce teen fertility? The case of Brazil’s Bolsa Familia

In 2008, Brazil's conditional cash transfer program expanded to cover a wider range of ages. Poor families are now given stipends for their children's school attendance up to age seventeen, whereas prior the maximum age was fifteen. Using a nationally representative household survey, we estimate the impact of this policy on teen fertility with a triple difference analysis on the fertility outcomes of treated cohorts vs. non-treated cohorts based on income eligibility, age eligibility, and timing of program implementation. We find a three percentage point drop in fertility among eligible teens within five years of program implementation. This offsets the difference in fertility between poor and non-poor teens. The impact is concentrated in urban areas, with no program effects found in rural areas. We are able to replicate these findings using National Birth Registry Data.
