Evaluation of: Siston AM, Rasmussen SA, Honein MA et al. Pandemic 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus illness among pregnant women in the United States. JAMA 303(15), 1517–1525 (2010).Pregnant women are at increased risk for severe illness from influenza infection, particularly pandemics, including the current flu pandemic. Early antiviral therapy using oseltamivir or zanamivir may be beneficial, but limited information is available regarding their safety and effectiveness during pregnancy. The article by Siston et al. assessed the findings of a recently published paper describing the severity of illness due to 2009 influenza A (H1N1) infection among 788 pregnant women reported to the CDC, stratified by timing of antiviral therapy and pregnancy trimester at symptom onset. The authors’ findings highlight the potential for severe illness and high risk of mortality due to influenza A (H1N1) infection among pregnant women and suggest the benefit of early antiviral treatment in reducing intensive care unit admissions and mortality rate. The WHO and CDC recommendations including 2009 influenza A (H1N1) vaccination and early antiviral therapy in case of influenza-like illness for all pregnant women are discussed regarding the key findings of this paper and other published data on influenza A (H1N1) infection in pregnant women. 相似文献

Question I have been encouraging pregnant women to receive both the H1N1 and influenza vaccines since I became aware of Health Canada’s guidelines. However, some of the women in my practice have heard conflicting information, often from media sources, and they are hesitant to be vaccinated. What is the evidence behind these guidelines, and should I really be convincing these women to be vaccinated?Answer Pregnant women and growing fetuses are considered a population vulnerable to H1N1 and influenza viruses. Health Canada published a report in late 2010 estimating that this population was at increased risk of hospitalization and severe outcomes of H1N1 infection. Recommendations included pregnant women as a priority group to receive the H1N1 vaccine as well as the influenza vaccine. This information should be explained unambiguously to pregnant women, and they should be made aware of the sensationalism of media reports, which are often based on opinion and not evidence. 相似文献

The ongoing pandemic of 2009 H1N1 swine-origin influenza A has heightened the world's attention to the reality of influenza
pandemics and their unpredictable nature. Currently, the 2009 H1N1 influenza strain appears to cause mild clinical disease
for the majority of those infected. However, the risk of severe disease from this strain or other future strains remains an
ongoing concern and is noted in specific patient populations. Pregnant women represent a unique patient population that historically
has been disproportionately affected by both seasonal and pandemic influenza outbreaks. Data thus far suggest that the current
2009 H1N1 outbreak is following this same epidemiologic tendency among pregnant women. The increased predilection to worse
clinical outcomes among pregnant women has potential to produce an acute demand for critical care resources that may overwhelm
supply in facilities providing maternity care. The ability of healthcare systems to optimize maternal-child health outcomes
during an influenza pandemic or other biologic disaster may therefore depend on the equitable allocation of these limited
resources. Triage algorithms for resource allocation have been delineated in the general medical population. However, no current
guidance considers the unique aspects of pregnant women and their unborn fetuses. An approach is suggested that may help guide
facilities faced with these challenges. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Influenza vaccination is recommended for all women who will be pregnant during the influenza season; however, little is known about the attitudes of physicians regarding vaccination of pregnant women. METHODS: We conducted a survey of all the fellows of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) who live and practice in Nashville, Tennessee, focusing on physician knowledge, practices, and opinions regarding influenza vaccination of pregnant RESULTS: Thirty-seven of 58 (64%) eligible physicians participated. Obstetrician opinion on the earliest influenza vaccine administration for healthy pregnant women was 62% during the second trimester, 32% during the first trimester, and 6% felt that the vaccine should not be given during pregnancy. All physicians responded that pregnant women with an underlying high risk condition should be vaccinated. CONCLUSION: Practicing obstetricians differ in their preferences regarding the timing of influenza vaccine administration in pregnant women. Obstetrician and patient opinion and practice should be studied and considered in developing vaccine guidelines and vaccine implementation strategies. 相似文献

Objectives: Influenza outbreaks have been associated with worsened emergency department (ED) crowding. We sought to examine the mechanism behind this association. Methods: A retrospective time series analysis was conducted in Toronto from January 1996 to April 1999. Weekly data on laboratory-confirmed influenza and other respiratory virus cases in the community and visits to all city EDs ( n = 20) were obtained. In longitudinal analyses, we determined the association between influenza and changes in ED utilization by younger and older patients with specific diagnoses grouped as major influenza related (MIR) and upper respiratory infection (URI). Time trends in psychiatric visits and their relationship to influenza were used as a control group. Results: A mean of 11,075 ED visits occurred weekly (SD = 698; average age, 39.9 years; 51% women). Four influenza seasons occurred, with weekly incident case counts ranging from 0 to 236; there were a total of 81 weeks with zero new cases between seasons. In multivariable analyses, every ten new cases of influenza active in the community was associated with a 1.5% (95% confidence interval = 1.2 to 1.8) and 1.2% (95% confidence interval = 0.6 to 1.8) absolute increase in the proportion of ED patients who were elders with MIR conditions and URIs, respectively. Influenza was not significantly associated with ED utilization by younger patients; other respiratory viruses were not significantly associated with ED utilization for any patient group. Conclusions: Influenza season is associated with increased ED utilization by patients aged 65 years and older, most of whom have major respiratory illnesses and may require hospital admission. No association was seen between influenza and utilization by younger patients. Efforts to reduce the impact of influenza seasons on EDs should focus on elders. 相似文献

Introduction
There is a paucity of data about the clinical characteristics that help identify patients at high risk of influenza infection upon ICU admission. We aimed to identify predictors of influenza infection in patients admitted to ICUs during the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 influenza seasons and the second wave of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic as well as to identify populations with increased likelihood of seasonal and pandemic 2009 influenza (pH1N1) infection.Methods
Six Toronto acute care hospitals participated in active surveillance for laboratory-confirmed influenza requiring ICU admission during periods of influenza activity from 2007 to 2009. Nasopharyngeal swabs were obtained from patients who presented to our hospitals with acute respiratory or cardiac illness or febrile illness without a clear nonrespiratory aetiology. Predictors of influenza were assessed by multivariable logistic regression analysis and the likelihood of influenza in different populations was calculated.Results
In 5,482 patients, 126 (2.3%) were found to have influenza. Admission temperature ≥38°C (odds ratio (OR) 4.7 for pH1N1, 2.3 for seasonal influenza) and admission diagnosis of pneumonia or respiratory infection (OR 7.3 for pH1N1, 4.2 for seasonal influenza) were independent predictors for influenza. During the peak weeks of influenza seasons, 17% of afebrile patients and 27% of febrile patients with pneumonia or respiratory infection had influenza. During the second wave of the 2009 pandemic, 26% of afebrile patients and 70% of febrile patients with pneumonia or respiratory infection had influenza.Conclusions
The findings of our study may assist clinicians in decision making regarding optimal management of adult patients admitted to ICUs during future influenza seasons. Influenza testing, empiric antiviral therapy and empiric infection control precautions should be considered in those patients who are admitted during influenza season with a diagnosis of pneumonia or respiratory infection and are either febrile or admitted during weeks of peak influenza activity. 相似文献10.

Aims and objectives. This paper aims to explore the concept of risk in pregnancy. Background. Notions of risk and ‘not knowing’ have always surrounded pregnant women, although in the last two decades trends of increased consumer confidence and midwifery activism have together promoted a greater appreciation of pregnancy as a normal life event. At the same time, advances in pregnancy‐related technologies have contributed new levels of concern related to an increasing ability to detect minor abnormalities by ultrasound. This, in turn, causes a concordant rise in the number of women referred to high‐risk pregnancy care to monitor suspect findings. Overall, it seems likely that this increasing emphasis on abnormality detection and risk may have serious implications for women. Design. Concept analysis. Method. In this paper, I undertake an exploration of the concept of risk as understood by health professionals and pregnant women. Then, using Deborah Lupton’s understanding of a ‘discourse of risk’, I discuss the ways pregnant women both contribute to and are enmeshed in, this discourse. In the final section, I consider how nurses act informally to shield vulnerable women. Conclusions. Health professionals and pregnant women understand risk differently. Women employ a subjective appraisal of risk, measuring it against their personal values and prior experience, while health professionals evaluate risk in an objective manner. Relevance to clinical practice. As increasing numbers of women are referred to ‘at risk’ care, it is important that health professionals understand and respond to maternal understandings of risk. Nurses and midwives particularly, have a role to play in assisting women to make sense of risk calculations. In this way, they can act to ameliorate the growing concept of risk for pregnant women. 相似文献

We present a putative link between maternal COVID‐19 infection in the peripartum period and rapid maternal deterioration with early organ dysfunction and coagulopathy. The current pandemic with SARS‐CoV‐2 has already resulted in high numbers of critically ill patients and deaths in the non‐pregnant population, mainly due to respiratory failure. During viral outbreaks, pregnancy poses a uniquely increased risk to women due to changes to immune function, alongside physiological adaptive alterations, such as increased oxygen consumption and edema of the respiratory tract. The laboratory derangements may be reminiscent of HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count) syndrome, and thus knowledge of the COVID‐19 relationship is paramount for appropriate diagnosis and management. In addition to routine measurements of D‐dimers, prothrombin time, and platelet count in all patients presenting with COVID‐19 as per International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) guidance, monitoring of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen levels should be considered in pregnancy, as highlighted in this report. These investigations in SARS‐CoV‐2‐positive pregnant women are vital, as their derangement may signal a more severe COVID‐19 infection, and may warrant pre‐emptive admission and consideration of delivery to achieve maternal stabilization. 相似文献

Since 2000, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has issued eight clinical recommendation statements on screening for sexually transmitted infections. This article, written on behalf of the USPSTF, is an overview of these recommendations. The USPSTF recommends that women at increased risk of infection be screened for chlamydia, gonorrhea, human immunodeficiency virus, and syphilis. Men at increased risk should be screened for human immunodeficiency virus and syphilis. All pregnant women should be screened for hepatitis B, human immunodeficiency virus, and syphilis; pregnant women at increased risk also should be screened for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Nonpregnant women and men not at increased risk do not require routine screening for sexually transmitted infections. Engaging in high-risk sexual behavior places persons at increased risk of sexually transmitted infections. The USPSTF recommends that all sexually active women younger than 25 years be considered at increased risk of chlamydia and gonorrhea. Because not all communities present equal risk of sexually transmitted infections, the USPSTF encourages physicians to consider expanding or limiting the routine sexually transmitted infection screening they provide based on the community and populations they serve. 相似文献

Influenza is a major problem both in the community and hospital and elderly people who are at particular risk should be included in vaccination programmes. In August 1998 the Chief Medical Officer for England extended the current influenza immunization policy to include all those aged 75 years or over. However, prior to this date only those patients with co-existing cardiac or respiratory diseases at increased risk of influenza were vaccinated routinely. In order to determine whether such patients had been immunized, we approached all patients admitted to Care of the Elderly wards during an 8-week period in January and February. The study additionally identified factors that may have influenced patients' participation in this immunization programme. Six hundred and forty-nine patients on Care of the Elderly wards with acute medical illness were questioned with regard to vaccination against influenza during the previous year. Of the 649 patients 279 were suitable for entry into the study. Of these 39% had been vaccinated against influenza. When considering the 171 who were not vaccinated, 25% (44 patients) had actually been offered and declined vaccination, in 46% of these cases due to previous side-effects, or fear of anticipated side-effects. In those unvaccinated three-quarters considered that the influenza vaccine was not efficacious. Unfortunately, patients with co-existing cardiac, respiratory or endocrine diseases were no more likely to have been vaccinated than were those without these diseases. Many older patients admitted with acute medical problems had not been vaccinated against influenza and the reasons for this included not being offered vaccination, a belief that influenza vaccination was not efficacious and concerns about possible side-effects. The role of community doctors and nurses in facilitating the vaccination of such an at-risk group is evident and should be incorporated into resource planning. 相似文献

Pneumococcal infection of the respiratory tract is often secondary to recent influenza virus infection and accounts for much of the morbidity and mortality during seasonal and pandemic influenza. Here, we show that coinfection of the upper respiratory tract of mice with influenza virus and pneumococcus leads to synergistic stimulation of type I IFNs and that this impairs the recruitment of macrophages, which are required for pneumococcal clearance, due to decreased production of the chemokine CCL2. Type I IFN expression was induced by pneumococcal colonization alone. Colonization followed by influenza coinfection led to a synergistic type I IFN response, resulting in increased density of colonizing bacteria and susceptibility to invasive infection. This enhanced type I IFN response inhibited production of the chemokine CCL2, which promotes the recruitment of macrophages and bacterial clearance. Stimulation of CCL2 by macrophages upon pneumococcal infection alone required the pattern recognition receptor Nod2 and expression of the pore-forming toxin pneumolysin. Indeed, the increased colonization associated with concurrent influenza virus infection was not observed in mice lacking Nod2 or the type I IFN receptor, or in mice challenged with pneumococci lacking pneumolysin. We therefore propose that the synergistic stimulation of type I IFN production during concurrent influenza virus and pneumococcal infection leads to increased bacterial colonization and suggest that this may contribute to the higher rates of disease associated with coinfection in humans. 相似文献

As well as previous epidemics and pandemias of influenza, the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemia increases the risk of severe illness in pregnant. Data were reported for 28 pregnant and 2 postpartum women who have been hospitalized in ICUs of Krasnodar Region with H1N1 influenza diagnosis. The laboratory tests for H1N1 were negative in 53.3% of suspected cases of H1N1 influenza (16 of 30). The major lethal risk factor in pregnant with H1N1 influenza is a development of septic shock with low PaO2\FiO2 ratio (less than 140) and high Murray's Acute Lung Injury Score (higher than 2.5). High Apache II, Apache III, SAPS 2, SAPS 3 and SOFA scores are the additional lethal risk factors. Lethal outcomes were more frequent in the end of the second trimester of pregnancy. 相似文献

Gestation is a unique physiologic state that carries with it several immunologic consequences and results in changing susceptibility to various diseases. In contrast to the well recognized excess vulnerability of primiparous women to Plasmodium falciparum infection in areas of high malaria transmission, it is not known whether pregnancy is associated with a higher prevalence of helminth infection. In Lambaréné, Gabon, 105 pregnant women were recruited and matched with non-gravid female controls. The prevalence of intestinal helminths was 66% (n=58) in the pregnant participants and 36% (n=32) in the non-pregnant controls (P<0.001). In multivariate analysis the pregnancy status was an independent risk factor for being infected with intestinal helminths (AOR and 95% CI: 3.0 [1.4-5.9]). These data show a previously undescribed susceptibility pattern of pregnant women to intestinal helminth infection in a sub-Saharan African community. 相似文献
