Assessing the Impact of Obesity on Pregnancy and Neonatal Outcomes among Saudi Women.

ABSTRACT: Background: The rising prevalence of obesity has a significant impact on obstetrics practice regarding maternal and perinatal complications includes recurrent miscarriage, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and prolonged labor. Objective: To assess the impact of obesity on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes among Saudi women. Methods: The study was conducted at King Abdul-Aziz Medical City, Jeddah. Design: A cross-sectional retrospective design. A total number of 186 participants were recruited from July to December 2018 according to eligibility criteria. The data were collected retrospectively by a review of the chart records of the labor and delivery department. Results: The mean (SD) age of participants was 31.94 (5.67) years old; two-thirds were in obesity class I. There was a significant association between obesity and pre-existing thyroid disease and induced hypertension class III. However, episiotomy showed that obesity class III was significantly different from obesity class II. Conclusion: This study concludes obesity affects the outcomes of pregnant Saudi associations between obesity and preeclampsia, perineal tears, and episiotomy variables, and other variables reflect no associations. Recommendations: Further studies are needed to generalize the results. This study endorses the pregnant women start the antenatal follow-up from 1st trimester so, the data will be available on the system for research.

Project description:BackgroundWomen with rare diseases, such as osteogenesis imperfecta, may consider pregnancy, although data regarding outcomes, specific risks, and management strategies are lacking.ObjectiveThe Brittle Bone Disorders Consortium of the National Institute of Health Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network established an Osteogenesis Imperfecta Pregnancy Registry to collect and evaluate pregnancy, maternal, and neonatal outcomes in women with osteogenesis imperfecta.Study designThis was a cross-sectional, survey-based study. Appropriate participants of the Brittle Bone Disorders Consortium Contact Registry were invited to participate in the study. Self-reported information regarding pregnancy characteristics and maternal and neonatal outcomes of women with osteogenesis imperfecta was compared with that of the general population, referenced by literature-based standards. Furthermore, compared with the general population, cohorts of women and fetuses with osteogenesis imperfecta were evaluated to determine whether the presence of osteogenesis imperfecta conveyed an increase in antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum complications and an increase in adverse neonatal outcomes.ResultsHere, a total 132 participants completed the survey. Compared with the general population, women with osteogenesis imperfecta had higher rates of diabetes in pregnancy (13.3% vs 7%; 95% confidence interval, 7.0-19.6; P=.049), cesarean delivery (68.5% vs 32.7%; 95% confidence interval, 59.9-77.1; P<.001), need for blood transfusion (8.3% vs 1.5%; 95% confidence interval, 3.9-12.8; P=.019), and antepartum and postpartum fractures (relative risk, 221; 95% confidence interval, 59.3-823; P<.001). Maternal hospitalization and cesarean delivery rates were higher in individuals with moderate or severe osteogenesis imperfecta than women who reported mild osteogenesis imperfecta. Neonates born to women with osteogenesis imperfecta had higher risk of being low (26.2% vs 6.8%; P<.001) or very low birthweight (13.8% vs 1.4%; P<.001) infants than the general population. Neonates born to women with osteogenesis imperfecta had a higher rate of neonatal intensive care unit admissions (19% vs 5.68%; P<.001) and higher neonatal mortality at 28 days of life (4.8% vs 0.4%; P=.026), regardless of neonatal osteogenesis imperfecta status.ConclusionPregnancies for women with osteogenesis imperfecta are at an increased risk of complications, including hemorrhage, fractures, diabetes mellitus, and increased neonatal morbidity.

Project description:BackgroundEvidence regarding adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with thyroid cancer has been conflicting, and the effect of thyroid dysfunction caused by thyroid hormone suppression therapy in terms of neonatal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether thyroid cancer was associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and had an adverse effect on neonatal thyroid function.MethodsThis was a retrospective study of 212 singleton pregnancies with thyroid cancer and 35,641 controls without thyroid cancer. Data on maternal pregnancy outcomes and neonatal outcomes were analyzed.ResultsThe median TSH level in the thyroid cancer group was significantly lower than that in the control group (0.87 µIU/mL vs. 1.17 µIU/mL; P < 0.001), while the FT4 level was higher than that in the control group (17.16 pmol/L vs. 16.33 pmol/L; P < 0.001). The percentage of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) positive in the thyroid cancer group was significantly higher than that in the control group (25.0% vs. 11.8%; P < 0.001). Pregnancies with thyroid cancer had a higher risk of late miscarriage (OR 7.166, 95% CI: 1.521, 33.775, P = 0.013), after adjusting maternal TPOAb positive, there was no statistical significance (OR 3.480, 95% CI: 0.423, 28.614, P = 0.246). Pregnancies with thyroid cancer had higher gestational weight gain (GWG) (14.0 kg vs. 13.0 kg, P < 0.001). Although there was no significant difference in the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (20.8% vs. 17.4%, P = 0.194), the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) showed that fasting plasma glucose and 2-hour value in the thyroid cancer group were higher than those in the control group (P = 0.020 and 0.004, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in TSH between the thyroid cancer group and the control group, regardless of full-term newborns or preterm newborns.ConclusionsThyroid cancer might not have substantial adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes except for excessive GWG. No adverse effect on neonatal TSH was found, but the effect on long-term thyroid function and neuropsychological function in offspring need further study.Trial registrationBeijing Birth Cohort Study (ChiCTR220058395).
