Introduction: Birth weight is a major contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality and is associated with chronic diseases in adulthood. This study aimed to evaluate the use of Intergrowth 21st instead of the Fenton & Kim 2013 growth charts in the... see more

Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is on the increase among general population and prenatal mothers. The feto-maternal outcome of mothers with DM varies with the type of DM, pre-pregnancy or gestational (PPDM and GDM), and glycemic con... see more

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated to increased rates of large for gestational age newborns and macrosomia. Several charts are used to classify birth weight. Is there an ideal chart to classify newborns of GDM mothers?Methods:... see more

Aspectos clínico-epidemiológicos de la inducción del parto en el embarazo postérmino / Clinical and epidemiological features of inducing labor in post-term pregnancyAspectos clínico-epidemiológicos de la inducción del parto en el embarazo postérmino / Clinical and epidemiological features of inducing labor in post-term pregnancyEl embarazo postérmino es una entidad obstétrica muy discutida en la literatura médica debido a los diferentes criterios empleados con relación al diagnóstico, control prenatal, conducta a tomar y manejo intraparto. Con el objetivo de determinar el comportamiento de la inducción del parto en el embarazo postérmino, se realizó un estudio de casos y controles en el Hospital General Docente "Abel Santamaría" de Pinar del Río, en el trienio 2005-2007. El universo estuvo constituido por todos los nacimientos de esa institución hospitalaria, el grupo estudio por las embarazadas con 42 semanas de gestación con una labor de parto inducida (n=239) y un grupo control por las primeras 10 gestantes de cada mes con una labor de parto espontánea y edad gestacional de 37-41 semanas, con un feto vivo y con presentación de vértice (n=360). Se estudió: edad materna, paridad anterior, modo de terminación del parto, puntaje de Apgar del recién nacido, índice de Bishop, morbilidad materna y neonatal. Se utilizó frecuencia absoluta, porcentaje, Ji Cuadrado y Odds ratio al 95 % de certeza. Resultaron factores de riesgo de embarazo postérmino con labor inducida: la adolescencia (OR=5), la multiparidad (OR=7.5) y el índice de Bishop <7 puntos (OR=6.6); la forma de terminación del parto predominante en el embarazo postérmino fue la cesárea, presentando los recién nacidos una mayor incidencia de Apgar bajo (p<0.001). El embarazo postérmino con labor de parto inducida estuvo relacionado estadísticamente con la morbilidad neonatal en general (p<0.001) y con la morbilidad materna (p<0.001). Palabras clave: embarazo prongado, trabajo de parto inducido, cesarea/métodos, morbilidad,contracción,uterina,hemorragia. ABSTRACT Post-term pregnancy is a controversial obstetric entity in medical literature due to the different criteria used regarding to its diagnosis, prenatal control, treatment to be followed and intra-labor management. Aimed at determining the behavior of the induction of labor in post-term pregnancy a case and control study was conducted at "Abel Santamaria Cuadrado" University Hospital, Pinar del Rio, during a three-year period (2005-2007). The universe was comprised of all the births occurring in the institution, women surpassing 42 weeks of pregnancy and inducing labor (n=239) and a control group for the first 10 pregnant women of each month with spontaneous labor and gestational age of 37-41 weeks, live fetus and with apex presentation (n=360). Maternal age, previous parity, ending of labor, Apgar score of the newborn, Bishop rate, maternal and neonatal mortality were the variables studied. Absolute frequency, percentage method, chi square test and Odss ratio to 95% of certainty were used. Post-term pregnancy with inducing labor had as risk factors: adolescence (OR=5), multiparity (OR=7.5) and the Bishop rate <7 points (OR =6.6); prevailing cesarean section in post-term pregnancy, newborns presented a high incidence of low Apgar scores (p<0.001) and with a maternal morbidity (p<0.001). Key words: prolonged pregnancy, induced labor, cesarean section/methods, morbidity, uterine contraction, hemorrhage.

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in women has increased during the last decades. This is a serious concern since a high BMI before conception is an independent risk factor for many adverse outcomes of pregnancy. Therefore, dietary counseling, inte... see more

Background: Assessment of gestational age (GA) based on the last date of menstrual period is often inaccurate. Scores to predict GA of newborns are difficult to use particularly by health workers. An accurate, easy to use the method of assessing GA, parti... see more

Background: The respiratory distress syndrome in preterm neonates is mostly due to surfactant deficiency. The incidence and severity of respiratory distress syndrome are related inversely to the gestational age of the newborn infant. The early nutritional... see more

Introduction: Neonates born between 34 weeks and 36 weeks 6 days of gestational age (GA) are known as late preterm neonates. These late preterm neonates are the largest subgroup of preterm neonates. There have been few studies regarding the early morbidit... see more
