Prognostic factors and perinatal outcomes in early-onset intrauterine growth restriction due to placental insufficiency.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
December 2022
Objective: To determine the principal prognostic factors and neonatal outcomes associated with perinatal death in cases of early-onset intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) due to placental insufficiency and to define the cutoff point for the risk of perinatal death.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted with 198 pregnant women with a diagnosis of early-onset IUGR (as detected before the 32nd week of gestational age). The association between the dependent variable (perinatal death) and the independent variables was investigated using a multivariate logistic regression model.
Objective: To determine the association between amniotic fluid index (AFI) and perinatal outcomes in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).
Method: A retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2008 and 2012. 86 pregnant women were included, with a diagnosis of PPROM and gestational age from 24 to 35 weeks.
[Mechanical method of induction of labor in high-risk pregnant women with previous cesarean section].
Rev Bras Ginecol Obstet
March 2015
Purpose: To describe the maternal and fetal outcomes with the use of the Foley catheter for induction of labor in high-risk pregnant women with previous caesarean section.
Methods: An interventive and descriptive study was conducted from November 2013 to June 2014. A total of 39 pregnant women at term, with a live fetus, cephalic presentation, estimated fetal weight <4,000 g, with previous cesarean section, medical indications for induction of labor, Bishop score ≤6 and amniotic fluid index >5 cm were included.
Purpose: To describe the perinatal outcomes after preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out at Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira - IMIP from January 2008 to December 2012.
Purpose: To describe the potential influence of amniotic fluid on the maternal outcome of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM).
Methods: An observational, retrospective cohort study was conducted between December 2012 and January 2008 on 86 pregnant women with preterm PROM and a gestational age (GA) of 24 to 35 weeks. The amniotic fluid index (AFI) was used to measure aminiotic fluid volume.
Purpose: To determine maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with low amniotic fluid, according to the amniotic fluid index (AFI).
Methods: A cohort study conducted on 176 patients admitted to the high risk ward of Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP), in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Purpose: To identify the accuracy of urinalysis in the diagnosis of urinary tract infection in pregnant women at high risk.
Methods: a prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on 164 pregnant women admitted to the high-risk the ward of the Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP) during the period from January to June 2011.
Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of spontaneous and induced abortion reported by a sample of Brazilian women interviewed in the National Demographic Health Survey of 1996.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the Brazilian DHS-96 database, with information from interviews with a representative sample of 12,612 women about their reproductive life, focusing on the prevalence of spontaneous and induced abortion in the last five years and the associated factors for the various regions of the country and for Brazil as a whole. The sampling method was implemented with a strategy selection in two stages, one for the households and the other for women.
