BACKGROUND: The number of teenage pregnancies has increased throughout the world and these pregnancies are reported in association with a higher rate of maternal and fetal complications. AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the social surroundings; the results of ante-, intrapartum surveillance and perinatal outcome in adolescent pregnancies where mothers were below the age of 18. METHODS: Between 1st January, 1991 and 31st December, 1996 there were 13,131 births at our department. During this period, 209 newborns were born of 207 adolescent mothers. We compared the data of adolescent mothers with the data of all mothers who delivered in Hungary during the study period. RESULTS: 39 (18.6%) from 209 newborns were delivered before 37th week of gestation, and 34 (16.3%) newborns showed signs of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). The rate of primiparous adolescent mothers was 72.0%, 131 (63.3%) were primigravidae, and 136 (65.7%) received adequate prenatal care. Maternal complications (pregnancy induced hypertension, threatened preterm delivery, gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia) and adverse perinatal outcome (higher rate of IUGR and perinatal mortality) were found more frequently in adolescent pregnancies. CONCLUSIONS: As young maternal age is associated with an increased risk of unfavourable fetal outcome, teenage mothers need improved prenatal care and increased observation during labour. In addition, improvement of the social environment of adolescents and the prevention of teenage pregnancies should be recommended. 相似文献

Objective: To describe pregnancies with severe fetal heart defects (CHD) with respect to perinatal complications and management. To discuss epigenetic factors with respect to maternal body mass index (BMI) and assisted reproduction treatment (ART). Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis in a single centre for prenatal diagnostics. Data were collected with respect to pre- and postnatal diagnoses of CHD, preterm labour and deliveries, maternal risk factors and postnatal outcome. Results: Between 2009 and 2011 we treated 116 patients with severe fetal heart defects. Prenatal diagnoses were: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) in 50 fetuses (43.1%), conotruncal heart defects (CTM) in 43 (37.1%), atrial ventricular septal defects in eight cases (7.8%).There were 11 (9.9%) twin pregnancies. Premature labour occurred in 11.2%, premature deliveries 12.9%. Nine pregnancies (7.8%) were achieved by assisted reproduction treatment (ART). A body mass index (BMI) > 25 occurred in 54.3% with 3% morbid obesity. Advanced maternal age >35 was found in 33.5%. Accuracy of the prenatal diagnosis was 97%. Conclusions: Patients with ART pregnancies may be referred to fetal echocardiography. Maternal obesity poses a diagnostic problem, the incidence of CTM may be higher due to epigenetic factors. This requires further studies. As premature labour and delivery is a frequent complication, perinatal management of these pregnancies must be reserved to specialized centers. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To assess the perinatal outcome of teenage pregnancy in a large cohort and to determine risk factors for low birth weight (LBW) in teenage pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN: All singleton first deliveries to mothers of age 16-24 years between 1990 and 1997 were included. The deliveries were subdivided into three maternal age groups (16-17 and 18-19 compared to 20-24 years) and parameters of perinatal outcomes were compared. To adjust for potential confounding effects on the association between young maternal age and birth weight, logistic regression analysis was performed for LBW with maternal ethnicity, pregnancy-induced hypertension, lack of prenatal care and malformations of the newborn. RESULTS: Among a total of 11 496 patients, 600 (5.2%) were 16-17 years old, 2097 (18.2%) were 18-19 years old and the remaining 8799 (76.6%) were 20-24 years old. Bedouin ethnicity and lack of prenatal care were common in the youngest mothers. Rates of preterm delivery were 14.2%, 9.8% and 8.8% in the three age groups, respectively (p < 0.05). Rates of malformations, small for gestational age, LBW and very LBW were also significantly higher in the youngest mothers. Rates of pregnancy-induced hypertension, operative delivery and Cesarean delivery were not significantly different among the three age groups. A multivariate analysis on LBW was performed to assess the unique contribution of young maternal age, adjusted for potential confounders. Adjusted ORs for LBW were 1.25 (95% CI 1.00-1.56) for maternal age < 18 years, 1.80 (95% CI 1.54-2.03) for Bedouin ethnicity, 2.57 (95% CI 2.14-3.07) for pregnancy-induced hypertension, 1.55 (95% CI 1.30-1.84) for lack of prenatal care and 4.09 (95% CI 3.2-5.2) for malformations. CONCLUSIONS: Teenage pregnancy was found to be associated with adverse outcome such as LBW, preterm delivery, small for gestational age and malformations. The risk for LBW was affected mainly by demographic factors (maternal ethnicity, lack of prenatal care) and medical factors (pregnancy-induced hypertension, malformations). 相似文献

Objective: To determine the risks of adverse perinatal outcomes of teenage mothers.Material and methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on teenage mothers (under 20 years of age) who delivered in the period of 2010–2014 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Szeged (study group). All mothers who delivered in Hungary during the same period were studied as a control group. The following parameters were analyzed: demographic data of the mothers, maternal complications, perinatal outcome and congenital malformations of the newborns. The binominal test, Student’s t-test and Poisson’s regression were applied using STATA 9.0 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA) statistical software (p?.05 was considered to be statistically significant).Results: During this 5-year period, 12,845 births were recorded at the Department, of these 274 (2.1%) were teenage pregnancies with 275 newborns. The offsprings of teenage mothers had significantly lower mean birth weight (3110.2?±?564.03?g versus 3247?g), higher rate of congenital malformations (8.0 versus 5.0%) and higher admission to neonatal intensive care unit (12.4 versus 8.0%) than the infants in the control group.Conclusions: Younger maternal age was significantly associated with lower mean birth weight, higher risk of congenital malformations, and increased admission rate to neonatal intensive care unit. 相似文献

Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate ultrasound findings and perinatal outcome after prenatal diagnosis of lymphangioma.Methods: This was a retrospective case series study. We searched the archives of our ultrasound database at our center for cases with the prenatal diagnosis of the lymphangioma in the period between January 2008 and November 2014. We described maternal, fetal and perinatal variables for all cases.Results: Nine fetuses with lymphangioma were identified. All cases were diagnosed during the second and third trimesters with the average gestational age of 22.6?±?3.9 weeks. The average diameter of lymphangioma was 55.4?±?20.1?mm at the time of diagnosis. Five fetuses (55.6%) had lymphangioma on the neck, and four fetuses (44.4%) had lymphangioma on other localizations. Normal fetal karyotype was detected in all cases. There were a total of six live births, one intrauterine death and two medical terminations of pregnancy following the diagnosis of lymphangioma. No abnormal Doppler finding or hydrops were detected in the antenatal follow-up of remaining six cases.Conclusion: The risk of chromosomal abnormalities is very low in pregnancies with isolated lymphangioma. The outcome of pregnancies with lymphangioma is generally favorable and prognosis depends on their locations and size. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To study the outcome after fetal reduction or selective termination to singleton pregnancies for various indications. METHODS: Fetal reduction or selective feticide to singleton pregnancies was performed in 80 multiple gestations (congenital malformations, 17 cases; high-risk obstetric conditions, 25 cases; or social/psychological indications, 38 cases). RESULTS: The overall pregnancy loss rate was 10%; however, pregnancy failure was significantly higher in selective reductions performed for preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) (4/8) compared with monochorionic twin and bad obstetric history. Fetal reduction to singletons for psychological reasons resulted in a pregnancy wastage of 5.3% (2/38). Procedures performed at < or =14 weeks showed a significantly lower fetal loss rate (2/61; 3.3%), a higher mean gestational age at delivery (38.3+/-2.2 weeks), and a decreased prematurity rate (p< or =0.001). The number of reduced fetuses, prenatal diagnosis by chorionic villus sampling before the reduction and maternal age did not interfere with pregnancy outcome. CONCLUSION: Fetal reduction to singleton pregnancies has a favorable outcome, especially when performed before 14 weeks of gestation. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to compare maternal and perinatal outcomes of teenage and adult pregnancies with mild gestational hypertension remote from term managed with an outpatient program.STUDY DESIGN: A matched cohort design was used. Maternal and perinatal outcomes of 60 teenage pregnancies with mild gestational hypertension remote from term were compared with 120 adult controls 20 to 42 years old. The groups were matched for race, gestational age, and proteinuria status at enrollment. All were monitored on an outpatient basis with four times daily outomated blood pressure measurement and daily assessment of weight, proteinuria, and fetal movement.RESULTS: The mean gestational age at enrollment was 33.5 ± 2.6 weeks for both groups (range 27 to 36 weeks). Only 60% of teenagers had a high school degree or equivalent compared with 76% of adults (p = 0.024). The teenagers were more likely than the adults to be of single marital status (75% vs 13%, p = 0.015). The mean gestational age at delivery (37.0 ± 2.0 vs 37.0 ± 2.2 weeks), mean pregnancy prolongation (23.5 ± 19.0 vs 24.5 ± 17.4 days), and mean birth weights (2915 ± 669 vs 2879 ± 678 gm) were not statistically different between the teenagers and adults (all p> 0.05). There were no stillbirths, neonatal deaths, or cases of eclampsia in either group.CONCLUSIONS: In spite of a study population characterized by limited education, single marital status, and young age at enrollement, monitored outpatient management of mild gestational hypertension remote from term in teenage pregnancies is associated with maternal and perinatal outcomes similar to those observed in adults. 相似文献

Objectives: Preeclampsia is associated with significant morbidity and mortality especially in high-risk groups. Impairment of endogenous nitric oxide has been shown to be associated with the disease and prophylactic therapy may ameliorate this condition and improve pregnancy outcome. This study valuated nitric oxide donors prophylactic treatment for preeclampsia in high-risk teenage primigravidae.Methods: The study included three hundred primigravidae aged?≤?20 years with singleton pregnancy. Abdominal pulsed color Doppler ultrasound was done at 24 weeks gestation and pregnancies with uterine artery diastolic notch were randomly allocated to a control group received placebo vaginal tablets and a study group received isosorbid mononitrate 20?mg tablet once daily applied vaginally until delivery.Outcomes: Incidence of preeclampsia and maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcome in both groups.Results: The study group had significant lower incidence of preeclampsia, preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction and of neonatal admission to the intensive care (p?<?0.05).Conclusions: Nitric oxide donors prophylactic treatment for preeclampsia in high-risk teenage pregnancies decrease the incidence of preeclampsia and improve maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes. Further studies on larger sample size are required to confirm these results. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate maternal and fetal factors associated with congenital malformations in patients with polyhydramnios. STUDY DESIGN: The study group consisted of 275 singleton pregnancies with an amniotic fluid index (AFI) >25.0 cm. An equal number of controls were matched for maternal age, gravidity, parity and gestational age. The proportion of cases and controls with malformations was compared. Polyhydramnios cases were categorized into three groups by severity: mild (AFI 25-30 cm), moderate (AFI: 30.1-35.0 cm) and severe (AFI >35.1 cm). Among cases, logistic regression analysis was utilized to estimate the risk for fetal congenital malformations in relation to severity of polyhydramnios, estimated fetal weight, maternal diabetic status and gestational age at delivery. RESULTS: Congenital malformations were detected in 40 of 275 cases (14.5%) with polyhydramnios and in 9 cases (3.3%) of the control group (p < 0.01). The relative risks of congenital malformations increased with the severity of polyhydramnios: 3.2 (95% CI 1.5-6.8), 5.7 (95% CI 2. 4-13.3) and 13.1 (95% CI 5.8-29.5) for mild, moderate and severe polyhydramnios, respectively. Congenital malformations among polyhydramnios cases were present in 54.5% of small-for-gestational age fetuses, in contrast to 12.7% for average-for-gestational age fetuses and 10.8% for large-for-gestational age fetuses (p < 0.001). Maternal diabetic status did not significantly affect the fetal anomaly rate once polyhydramnios was detected. Premature newborns in the polyhydramnios group had a higher malformation rate (24%) than did term newborns (11.3%) (p < 0.02). In the study group, multiple logistic analysis confirmed the significance of severe polyhydramnios, small-for-gestational age status and preterm delivery as independent contributors to the malformation risk. CONCLUSIONS: Polyhydramnios (AFI >35 cm), small-for-gestational age fetus and preterm delivery are independent risk factors for congenital malformations. 相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of young age on the outcome of teenage pregnancies by studying teenage deliveries in our unique population. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Retrospective chart review of teenage gravidas (age 19 and younger), who had delivered in our hospital. OUTCOME MEASURES: Mode of delivery, gestational age at delivery, newborn's weight and Apgar scores and maternal and neonatal complications. RESULTS: We recruited 565 teenage delivery cases from the hospital's computerized database. Mean maternal age was 18 (14-19). Most (96%) were married. Fifty-one percent were Jewish and 44% were Muslim. Most of the girls were nulligravidas. Mean gestational age at delivery was 39 weeks (33-44 weeks). A normal vaginal delivery ensued in 72.7%, while 9% had a cesarean section and 17.4% instrumental deliveries (compared to 85.75%, 10% and 4.25% in our adult population, respectively) and 1% underwent vaginal breech delivery. Mean birth weight was 3108 g (1450-4980 g). Apgar score of 9 at 5 minutes was recorded in 97.8% of the newborns. Prenatal care included a mean of 6 prenatal visits with a range of 1-18. The main complication was anemia; 41% had hemoglobin levels of less than 11 g/dL. The rate of other complications was low. CONCLUSIONS: In our homogenous group of teenagers, there was a similar complication rate as in the adult population. The only significant complication was anemia (less than 11 g/dL). There was a higher rate of instrumental deliveries and the cesarean delivery rate was slightly lower than in our adult population. Teenage pregnancy should not be considered as a high-risk situation as long as it is planned and followed with the normal routines of prenatal care. 相似文献

A small number of studies have, thus far, evaluated the association between maternal snoring and fetal growth revealing conflicting results. No study has compared fetal growth between women with habitual snoring who snored before pregnancy and women with habitual snoring that started to snore during pregnancy.Objectives: To examine the effect of maternal snoring on fetal outcome and to investigate the differences between “chronic snorers” and “new-onset snorers”. Methods: Women of singleton, uncomplicated, full-term pregnancies completed a questionnaire. Obstetric and labor records were reviewed. Newborn records were reviewed for gestational age, birth weight, Apgar score and gender. Results: 246 low risk women were studied. Mean BMI at the beginning of pregnancy was 22.3?±?3.5?kg/m2. 32% reported habitual snoring. Of those, 26% were chronic snorers and 74% were new-onset snorers. Neither significant difference in fetal growth was found between snorers and non-snorers nor between chronic snorers and new-onset snorers. Increased rate of nulliparous women was found in new-onset snorers compared with both chronic snorers and non-snorers (54 vs. 25 and 29% respectively; p?=?0.001). Conclusions: In pregnant women with no apparent risk factors, maternal snoring does not affect fetal growth. No differences in maternal characteristics or fetal outcome were found between chronic snorers and new-onset snorers. 相似文献

Objective: The purpose of this retrospective observational cohort study was to determine the impact of certain risk factors on fetal loss, after mid-trimester amniocentesis.Material and methods: Six thousand seven-hundred and fifty-two (6752) consecutive amniocenteses with known pregnancy outcome performed during a 7-year period (2004–2010) were included in this study. Different maternal-, fetal- and procedure-related factors were evaluated in this study.Results: During this 7-year period, 6752 cases who underwent amniocentesis, with complete data available were evaluated for the outcome and risk factors mentioned. Total fetal loss rate (FLR) up to the 24th week was 1.19%. Risk factors associated with increased risk of fetal loss after amniocentesis were maternal age (OR:2.0), vaginal spotting (OR:2.2) and serious bleeding (OR:3.5) during pregnancy, history of 2nd trimester termination of pregnancy (OR:4.0), history of more than three spontaneous (OR:3.0) or surgical first trimester abortions (OR:2.1), fibromas (OR:3.0) and stained amniotic fluid (OR:6.1).Conclusions: Amniocentesis is a safe-invasive procedure for prenatal diagnosis with total FLR of 1.19% in our institution during the study period. The present study has emphasized the significance of certain risk factors for adverse outcome and therefore the need to individualize the risk. 相似文献

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the rate of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) versus indicated preterm birth (IPTB) in triplet pregnancies and determine factors associated with these outcomes.Materials and methods: This is a review of triplet pregnancies delivering at our institution from 2003 to 2015. Patients delivering prior to 24 weeks gestational age (GA) were excluded. SPTB included cases of preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes <37 weeks. IPTB was defined as deliveries <37 weeks for maternal or fetal complications.Results: Of 80 triplet pregnancies, 18 (22.5%) were not complicated by SPTB or IPTB and reached their scheduled delivery date. In the remaining 62 pregnancies, IPTB occurred in 31 patients and SPTB in 31 patients. Parity was the only significant factor associated with reaching a scheduled delivery, with 56.3% of parous women reaching a scheduled delivery versus 14.1% of nulliparous women (p?=?0.001). There were no significant differences in maternal age, parity, chorionicity, or use of ART between the SPTB and ITPB groups.Conclusions: While the majority of our triplet patients delivered preterm, IPTB occurred as frequently as SPTB in our population. Parous women were significantly less likely to experience SPTB or to require preterm delivery for maternal or fetal indications. 相似文献

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of pregnancies in adolescents in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Democritus University of Thrace, North-Eastern Greece. Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 194 cases of adolescent pregnancies, with an average maternal age of 16.5 years, from 1st January 2006 to December 30th 2008. Socioeconomic characteristics, type of delivery and complications, such as preterm labor, preeclampsia, intra- and post-partum complications, were evaluated. Results: The median age at first intercourse was 14.2 years and the average period between first intercourse and pregnancy was 1.2 years. Most teen mothers (86.6%) did not use any contraceptive method. Among the teen mothers recruited for the study, 89.7% were married. Adolescent pregnancies accounted for 9.02% of all deliveries (2150) in our Department. In 49 (25.3%) of the pregnant adolescents, no previous pregnancy was reported. The rates of preterm birth of teen mothers were 11.3%, 41.3% and 47.4% in correlation to <32 weeks, 32–34 weeks and >34 weeks, respectively. In 95.4% of the cases, deliveries were not complicated. According to our results, the main complications, especially in very young girls, are preterm labor, anaemia, hypertensive disease, obstructed labor after premature rupture of the membranes and increased neonatal mortality and morbidity. Antenatal care is often inadequate. Conclusion: Early teenage pregnancies have always been considered of increased risk for obstetric complications. Prevention of adolescent pregnancy, by wide use of effective contraception programs, would decrease its frequency and intensive care of pregnant adolescents may reduce the pregnancy complications. 相似文献

Purpose: To investigate the association between maternal age and spontaneous breech presentation.Material and methods: Fifteen-year observational study over (2001–2015). All consecutive singleton births delivered at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sud Reunion’s maternity. The only single exclusion criterion was uterine malformations (N?=?123) women.Results: Of the 60,963 singleton births, there was a linear association (χ2 for linear trend, p0.0001) between maternal age and spontaneous breech presentation. Overall rate of breech presentation was 2.7% in deliveries over 32 weeks gestation, while it was 1.9% in women aged 15 to 19 years and 4.0% in women aged 45+, with a linear progression for each 5-year age category. This linearity remained significant controlling for early prematurity (<33 weeks) and severe fetal malformations (χ2 for linear trend?=?64, p?0.0001). Controlling in a multiple logistic regression model for other major risk factors gestational age, female sex, primiparity, maternal age remained significantly an independent risk factor, p?0.0001.Conclusion: Maternal age (x) is an independent factor for breech presentation in singleton pregnancies after 32 weeks gestation with a linear association that may be approximated at y?=?0.1x.

AbstractObjective.?The impact of pregnancy on lupus activity has been controversial especially in Chinese women. Research looking at predictive factors in this population are sparse. The aim of this study was therefore twofold: to determine the frequencies of abnormal pregnancy outcomes in a Chinese cohort and to identify clinical and laboratory factors predicting adverse fetal and maternal outcomes in Chinese women with systemic lupus erythematosus. Study design.?Data of 111 pregnancies of 105 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients from January 1990 to December 2008 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing were analyzed retrospectively. Univariate analysis using chi-square test and logistic regression was used to assess the predictive value of each variable on binary outcomes. Lupus activity was based on SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) criteria. Results.?There were 23 elective, 2 spontaneous abortions, and 5 stillbirths, with 81 pregnancies resulting in live births including two multiple gestations. Three neonatal deaths were reported. Fetal loss rate including neonatal death was 11.1%. Fetal loss in active SLE group (17.0%) was significantly higher than those in inactive group (2.0%) (P?=?0.047). The incidence of premature birth in active SLE group was 25/47 (53.2%), which is significantly higher than those in inactive group (3/34, 8.8%) (P?0.001). Small for gestational age (SGA) was more common in active SLE group with incidence of 40.0% compared to 5.6% in inactive group (P?0.001). Five fetal malformations were recorded (6.0%), including three fetal heart malformations (one complete heart block, one tetralogy of Fallot, and one atrial septal defect) and two multiple fetal malformations, which were significantly higher than general population. Among 25 pregnancies that were in active stage at conception, 14 (56%) deteriorated during pregnancy. Of the 68 pregnancies that were stable at conception, 26 (38%) flared during pregnancy or postpartum. Preeclampsia/eclampsia (OR?=?14.83, 95% CI: 3.83–57.41) and thrombocytopenia (OR?=?4.43, 95% CI: 1.12–17.60) were significant predictors of fetal loss; preeclampsia/eclampsia (OR?=?8.04, 95% CI: 2.00–32.34) and active SLE (OR?=?19.90, 95% CI: 2.38–166.27) were significantly associated with preterm birth; preeclampsia/eclampsia (OR?=?8.92, 95% CI: 2.25–35.44) and thrombocytopenia (OR?=?4.03, 95% CI: 1.24–17.25) were also significant predictors of maternal SLE flare-up. Conclusion.?In general, lupus in pregnancy in the Chinese population is generally similar to other cohorts. Pregnancies can be successful in most women with SLE. However, an increase in SLE activity can occur in a significant number of patients, even those who are well controlled. Adverse fetal outcome including fetal loss, preterm birth, and SGA increases significantly with SLE flares during pregnancy with preeclampsia/eclampsia, thrombocytopenia, and active SLE serving independent predictors of adverse fetal and maternal outcome. Fetal echo should not just for heart block but for structural abnromalities as the structural malformation rate was significantly higher than general population, especially congenital heart disease. 相似文献

Objective: Fetal congenital heart disease may lead to abnormal fetal growth. Our objective was to estimate the association between fetal congenital heart disease (CHD) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in an effort to better inform clinical management of continuing pregnancies complicated by fetal congenital heart disease. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, outcome data was collected from singleton pregnancies undergoing routine anatomic survey at a tertiary medical center between 1990 and 2008. Dedicated research nurses collected information on delivery outcomes in an on-going manner. Subjects with a prenatal diagnosis of fetal CHD were compared to those without CHD. Stratified analyses for isolated fetal CHD and major CHD were performed. The primary outcome was IUGR less than 10th percentile by the Alexander growth standard. Logistic regression was used to adjust for confounding variables and refine the estimates of risk. Results: Among 67,823 patients, there were 193 cases of fetal CHD (0.3%) and 5,669 cases of IUGR (8.4%). Prenatal diagnosis of CHD was associated with an increased risk of IUGR (23.8% vs. 8.5%, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.4–4.6), and the risk was greatest in fetuses with major CHD (16.5% vs. 8.5%, aOR 2.1, 95% CI 1.3–3.2). Isolated CHD was also associated with an increased risk of IUGR (17.8% vs. 8.5%, aOR 2.2, 95% CI 1.4–3.7). Conclusion: Patients with a prenatal diagnosis of fetal CHD have a three-fold increase in risk of developing IUGR; patients with isolated fetal CHD are twice as likely to develop IUGR. Based on our findings, serial growth assessment may be a reasonable option for patients with fetal CHD diagnosed at routine anatomic survey. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To identify in a case cohort study, overall outcome following prenatal diagnosis of complete AVSD (cAVSD) in a tertiary referral fetal cardiology center. METHOD: We retrospectively reviewed all pregnancies from 1997 to 2004 in which the fetus was identified on ultrasound examination as having a cAVSD. RESULTS: A prenatal diagnosis of cAVSD was made using fetal echocardiography in 99 fetuses. The median (range) gestational age at diagnosis was 23 weeks (17-37). In 41 cases, cAVSD was the sole cardiac lesion. The remaining 58 fetuses had associated additional intracardiac malformations. Prenatal karyotype was obtained in 43 fetuses and was abnormal in 23. Extracardiac anomalies were also identified in 25 fetuses. Following prenatal counseling, 35 couples chose termination. Of the 64 continuing pregnancies, 12 were stillbirths and 4 were lost to follow-up. Of the 48 live births, 16 were neonatal deaths without surgery while 32 babies underwent surgery and 19 have survived to date (follow-up between 2 years 10 months to 9 years 10 months). CONCLUSION: At the time of prenatal diagnosis at a regional fetal medicine center, the overall survival rate for fetuses with cAVSD is 32% (excluding termination and those lost to follow-up). This information has important implication for parents of fetuses with cAVSD and when undergoing prenatal counseling. 相似文献

Objective: To investigate teenage pregnancy outcomes controlling for lack of prenatal care (LOPC) and ethnicity. Methods: A retrospective population-based cohort study comparing singleton deliveries of nulliparous women classified into two teenage groups: 15–17, 18–19, and a comparison group of 20–24 years was performed. Multiple logistic regressions were used to control for confounders. Results: The study population consisted of 31,985 women, 1,482 15–17 years old, 5,876 18–19 years old and 24,627 20–24 years old. A significant linear association was found between maternal age and perinatal mortality, low birth weight (LBW) and preterm delivery (PTD). Using multivariable logistic regression models, controlling for LOPC and ethnicity, the association between maternal age and perinatal mortality was no longer statistically significant, but both LBW and PTD were significantly associated with young maternal age (>17 years). Conclusion: Teenage pregnancy is a risk factor for LBW and PTD especially for parturient younger than 17. 相似文献

Objective: To assess fetal abnormalities leading to termination of pregnancy (TOP) performed in twin pregnancies.Method: The current study consisted of all women with dichorionic twin pregnancies (study group) who underwent TOP due to fetal abnormalities in our institute from 1999 to 2015. The data were compared to our registry of all parturient women with a singleton pregnancy (control group) that underwent TOP due to fetal anomalies at the same period.Results: There were 2495 cases of TOP because of fetal indications during the study period. Of them, 86 (3.4%) and 2409 (96.6%) were from the study and control group, respectively. Structural anomalies were the leading indication for TOP in twins compared with singleton pregnancies (81.4% versus 50.9%, respectively, p?0.0001). For twins, the leading indication for TOP was central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities and it was more common compared with singleton pregnancies (26.1% versus 12.2%, respectively, p?0.0001). This was followed by chromosomal/genetic abnormalities (16.3% versus 40.4%, respectively, p?0.0001).Conclusions: We found a different distribution for fetal anomalies leading to TOP in twins versus singleton pregnancies. The main indication for TOP in the study group was structural malformations, with a predominance of CNS abnormalities. 相似文献
