In case of maternal hypothyroidism, the number of miscarriages is higher and reaches 50% in this multicenter study. Several hypotheses are advocated in order to explain this frequent occurrence: the most remarkable is that as substitute treatment is very effective and decreases noticeably the risk of abortion. In case of maternal hypothyroidism, the frequency of abortions in this study reaches 35% before the disease is diagnosed and this figure is not modified (35%) after the diagnosis is made and the treatment initiated. Finally, in case of goiter or euthyroid nodules, there is also a relatively high number of spontaneous abortions. Therefore, there are still a number of unknown factors regarding the role of dysthyroidisms in spontaneous first-trimester abortions.

The noninvasive prenatal test (NIPT) for genetic screening has been adopted globally as an alternative to first-trimester and quad screening due to its high sensitivity and specificity. NIPT involves detecting and processing foreign fetal DNA in maternal circulation to screen for fetal aneuploidy. An incidental consequence of this process is the detection of foreign tumor cell DNA in maternal circulation in otherwise asymptomatic patients.

Unveiling the potential role of the shock index in maternal sepsis: reality or fantasy?

J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med

Departamento de Ginecología y Obstetricia, Fundación Valle del Lili, Cali, Colombia.

Objective: Maternal sepsis continues to be a maternal health problem associated with 75,000 deaths per year worldwide, representing a greater burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although the Shock Index (SI) has been widely studied in postpartum hemorrhage and in non-obstetric populations, it has not yet been widely studied in sepsis. We aimed to identify the relationship between Shock Index and suspected sepsis in pregnant and postpartum patients to explore the use of Shock index in the context of maternal sepsis and its relationship with sepsis-related outcomes.
