Impact of severe preeclampsia on maternal and fetal outcomes in preterm deliveries

Poonyane, Thabane January 2015 (has links)
Dissertation for MMed (Obstetrics and Gynaecology) and FCOG Part II / Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are common and their incidence appears to be on the increase. Preeclampsia is a multi-organ, heterogeneous disorder of pregnancy associated with significant maternal, fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Because preeclampsia is a progressive disorder, invariably delivery remote from term is often necessary to halt disease progression to benefit the mother and fetus. Objectives:  To determine the maternal outcomes in women with severe preeclampsia  To determine fetal and neonatal outcomes of infants born preterm Methods This was a prospective, descriptive study performed in three academic hospitals affiliated to the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. Data was collected from women with severe preeclampsia, who delivered between gestational ages of 26 weeks and 33 weeks, with a minimum neonatal weight of 500g as determined by sonography. Results: In the sample of 92 patients enrolled, there were two maternal deaths as a result of severe preeclampsia. Eclampsia and HELLP syndrome were the most frequently observed maternal complications at 34% and 49% respectively. Caesarean section was the most frequent method used to expedite delivery in 84% of women. Of the 97 babies delivered, 20% were confirmed intra-uterine fetal deaths, 7% demised during the early neonatal period and a there was a 40% very low birth weight rate. Conclusion: Despite interventions to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in our setting, our outcomes are similar to those observed in other parts of the world.

Características epidemiológicas dos óbitos fetais e neonatais precoces de filhos de pacientes com near mis

Nardello, Daniele Marin 25 February 2016 (has links)
Objective: To identify the epidemiological characteristics of early fetal and neonatal deaths in maternal near miss patients and the associated elements to this outcome. Method: Cross-sectional study including 79 women with features near miss, identified in a one-year period, and their newborns. Semi-structured interviews and the study of patients’ records were conducted. The variables were analyzed through simple frequency and percentage. To evaluate the association between those variables, the Fisher’s Exact Test was used. For the multivariate analysis the perceptual map constructed from the multiple correspondence examination was used, using the variables that were significant to 20%. Results: Amongst the near miss mothers, hypertensive disorders (severe pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, hypertension) totalized 32 cases (40,5%) and, of those, 14 (58,3%) had fetal and neonatal adverse outcome (p 0,046). The highest prevalence of fetal and neonatal adverse outcome was derived from cesarean delivery (20, 83,3%), of women with 2 or 3 children (11, 45,8%), and without previous stillbirths (17, 70,8%), this last variable with significance p 0,038. In the fetal and neonatal adverse outcome analysis significant levels were verified in newborns admitted in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (17, 70,8%, p < 0,001); children with gestational age < 32 weeks (10, 41,6%, p < 0,001); birth weight < 2500 (16, 66,7%, p 0,001); APGAR score at 5 minutes < 7 (9, 52,9%, p < 0,001); neonatal asphyxia, 9 (50,00%, p < 0,001); and early respiratory distress syndrome, 13 (72,2%, p 0,002). Conclusion: The characteristic of early fetal and neonatal deaths in maternal near miss patients had a close association with fetal and neonatal adverse outcome. Among the mothers with hypertensive disorders the significant characteristics to the outcome in newborns were prematurity, neonatal asphyxia and early respiratory distress syndrome. / Objetivo: Identificar as características epidemiológicas dos óbitos fetais e neonatais precoces em pacientes com near miss materno e os fatores associados a este desfecho. Método: Estudo transversal, cuja população foi composta por 79 mulheres com características de near miss (NM), identificadas no período de um ano, e dos seus respectivos recém-nascidos. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e investigação dos prontuários. As variáveis foram analisadas por meio de frequências simples e percentual. Para avaliar associação entre as variáveis, utilizou-se o teste Exato de Fisher. Para análise multivariada, foi usado o mapa perceptual construído a partir da análise de correspondência múltipla e utilizadas as variáveis que foram significativas a 20%. Resultados: Entre as mães classificadas com NM, as desordens hipertensivas (pré-eclâmpsia grave, eclâmpsia, hipertensão) totalizaram 32 casos (40,5%) e, destes, 14 (58,3%) tiveram desfecho fetal e neonatal adverso (DFNA) com p-valor =0,046. A maior prevalência de DFNA foi proveniente de parto cesáreo (20, 83,3%), de mulheres com dois a três filhos (11, 45,8%) e sem natimortos anteriores (17, 70,8%), verificando-se significância para esta última variável p =0,038. Na análise dos DFNA, foi observada significância estatística para os recém-nascidos admitidos na UTIN (17, 70,8%, p <0,001); crianças com idade gestacional < 32 semanas (10, 41,6%, p <0,001); peso ao nascer < 2500 (16, 66,7%, p =0,001); APGAR de 5 minutos < 7 contabilizaram 9 (52,9%, p <0,001); asfixia neonatal, 9 (50%, p <0,001); e desconforto respiratório precoce, 13 (72,2%, p =0,002). Conclusão: As características dos óbitos fetais e neonatais precoces em pacientes com near miss materno tiveram associação forte com o desfecho fetal e neonatal adverso. Nas mães com desordens hipertensivas, as características estatisticamente significantes para o desfecho entre os recém-nascidos foram a prematuridade, asfixia neonatal e desconforto respiratório precoce.

In this work, a perspective of the term’s plurality is adopted, since adolescents are shaped by concrete conditions of life and trajectories, with the purpose of defending the development of adolescents’ potentials. Studies on teenage pregnancy have reported diverging views of gestation and of motherhood. In this sense, we verified the need to broaden the understanding of the diversity and uniqueness that encompasses this phenomenon through the lenses of occupational therapy, investigating from the conceptual framework of the occupational identity. Objective: to understand how adolescent pregnant women construct maternal occupational identities. Method: applied field research using exploratory qualitative methods, undertaken in five Health Units of a municipality of São Paulo state. The study included 10 adolescent pregnant women, three of them in the first trimester of gestation, two in the second and five in the third. The study took place in two stages: 1) obtaining sociodemographic and occupational data; 2) understanding the process of construction of the maternal occupational identity. Instruments for data collection: Brazilian Sociodemographic Classification Criterion – Abep; occupational journal linked to occupational inquiry list; and semi-structured interview script. For the analysis, we categorized and presented data of the first stage descriptively and those of the second stage through Collective Subject Discourse Methodology (DSC). Results: the results were organized in three dimensions: general characterization of the participants; the process of discovering pregnancy; the process of constructing the maternal occupational identity. Dimension I shows that the age of participants varies between 14 and 19 years and most of them are of low-middle class. None of them wanted to get pregnant at this point in their lives. Dimension II shows different positions and opinions in face of the discovery of a pregnancy, which demonstrates the plurality and the individuality of the representation of this phenomenon. The main source of support for adolescents is family. Dimension III reflects on the construction of the maternal occupational identity, identifying activities performed before gestation that may help in the future care of the baby as well as revealing activities performed during gestation that characterize occupational changes related to the care of the woman herself alongside the baby’s care. Discussion: knowing the life history of pregnant adolescent women as well as explaining the creation and construction of occupational identities allows ponderation on the plurality of perceptions about pregnancy and accessing what makes sense to them. Daily occupational choices express who they want to become and how they would like others to see them. Final considerations: the study contributes to ponder the integral health care of pregnant adolescents parting from their context, providing answers to their needs and providing subsidies for the planning of intersectorial actions and strategies that promote youth participation and protagonism. This perspective expands development of the adolescent’s autonomy for self-care and childcare and the process of constructing the maternal occupational identity. / Introdução: a Organização Mundial de Saúde define adolescência, cronologicamente, como a faixa etária entre 10 e 19 anos. Neste trabalho adota-se uma perspectiva de pluralidade do termo, por entender que as adolescências são modeladas por condições e trajetórias de vida, com o propósito de defesa do desenvolvimento das potencialidades das adolescentes. Estudos sobre a gravidez na adolescência apresentaram visões divergentes da vivência do processo gestacional e da maternidade. Nessa direção, constatou-se a necessidade de ampliar a compreensão da heterogeneidade e singularidade que abarcam este fenômeno pelas lentes da terapia ocupacional, partindo do marco conceitual da identidade ocupacional. Objetivo: compreender como gestantes adolescentes constroem identidades ocupacionais maternas. Método: pesquisa aplicada, de campo, exploratória, qualitativa, desenvolvida em cinco Unidades de Saúde de um município em São Paulo. Participaram do estudo dez gestantes adolescentes, estando três delas no primeiro trimestre de gestação, duas no segundo e cinco no terceiro. O estudo ocorreu em duas etapas: 1) obtenção de dados sociodemográficos e ocupacionais; 2) compreensão do processo de elaboração da identidade ocupacional materna. Instrumentos para coleta de dados: formulário sociodemográfico; Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil – Abep; diário de ocupações atrelado com lista de inquérito ocupacional; roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado. Para a análise, os dados da primeira etapa foram categorizados e apresentados descritivamente; os da segunda etapa, por meio da técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). Resultados: os resultados foram organizados em três dimensões: caracterização geral das participantes; processo de descoberta da gravidez; processo de construção da identidade ocupacional materna. A dimensão I apresenta que a idade das participantes varia entre 14 e 19 anos, e a maioria delas é da classe média baixa. Nenhuma delas queria engravidar nesse momento da vida. A dimensão II mostra diferentes posicionamentos e opiniões diante da descoberta da gravidez, demonstrando a pluralidade e a individualidade da representação deste fenômeno. A principal fonte de suporte das adolescentes é a família. Na dimensão III reflete-se sobre a construção da identidade ocupacional materna. Identificam-se atividades realizadas anteriormente à gestação, que podem ajudar no futuro cuidado do bebê, bem como revelam-se atividades realizadas durante a gestação que caracterizam mudanças ocupacionais relacionadas ao cuidado da própria mulher concomitante ao do bebê. Discussão: conhecer a história de vida das gestantes adolescentes, explicitando a criação e construção das identidades ocupacionais, permite refletir sobre a pluralidade de percepções sobre a gravidez e acessar aquilo que faz sentido para elas. As escolhas ocupacionais diárias expressam quem elas querem se tornar e como gostariam que os outros as vissem. Considerações finais: o estudo contribui para a reflexão da atenção à saúde integral das adolescentes a partir de seu contexto, oportunizando respostas às suas necessidades e fornecendo subsídios para o planejamento de ações intersetoriais e sistematização de estratégias que ampliem a participação e o protagonismo juvenil. Nesta perspectiva, amplia-se o desenvolvimento da autonomia da adolescente para o cuidado de si e do bebê, além de estimular seu processo de construção da identidade ocupacional materna.
