ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Women with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) show a higher rate of cesarean section (CS) compared with healthy women. In this study, we determined the effects of pregnancy and delivery methods on AS worsening by analyzing prescription patterns. METHODS: The subjects were women with AS aged 20–49 years listed in the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service claims database. Change in treatment was defined as change in prescriptions 1–2 years before delivery or 1 year after delivery. We compared change in prescriptions between AS women with delivery or without delivery (1:1 matched). Moreover, we evaluated change in prescriptions according to delivery method among AS women with delivery. RESULTS: A total of 6,821 women with AS were included. Women in the delivery group (n = 996) were younger and showed less drug use and lower comorbidity rates than those in the no delivery group. Change in prescriptions did not differ between the delivery and no delivery groups (odds ratio [OR], 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56–1.05). Furthermore, the overall change in prescriptions did not significantly differ between vaginal delivery (VD) and CS (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.45–1.14). CONCLUSION: The rate of change in prescriptions was comparable between AS patients with and without delivery. There was no association between the method of delivery and change in prescription. Therefore, pregnancy and VD may not be the factors associated with AS worsening.

PURPOSE: To examine obstetric outcomes in the second birth of women who had undergone a previous cesarean delivery. METHODS: This was a large hospital-based retrospective cohort study. We included pregnant women who had a previous delivery (vaginal or cesarean) attending their second birth from 2001 to 2009. Main inclusion criteria were singleton pregnancies and delivery between a gestation of 24 and 41 weeks. Two cohorts were selected, being women with a previous cesarean delivery (n=7,215) and those with a vaginal one (n=23,720). Both groups were compared and logistic regression was performed to adjust for confounding variables. The obstetric outcomes included uterine rupture, placenta previa, and placental-related complications such as placental abruption, preeclampsia, and spontaneous preterm delivery. RESULTS: Women with previous cesarean delivery were more likely to have adverse outcomes such as uterine rupture (OR=12.4, 95%CI 6.8-22.3), placental abruption (OR=1.4, 95%CI 1.1-2.1), preeclampsia (OR=1.4, 95%CI 1.2-1.6), and spontaneous preterm delivery (OR=1.4, 95%CI 1.1-1.7). CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with previous cesarean section have adverse obstetric outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy, including uterine rupture, and placental-related disorders such as preeclampsia, spontaneous preterm delivery, and placental abruption.
OBJETIVO: Analisar os resultados obstétricos no segundo parto de mulheres que já haviam realizado uma cesariana. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo em um hospital materno. Foram incluídas mulheres grávidas que deram à luz (vaginal ou cesárea) de 2001 a 2009. Os principais critérios de inclusão foram: mulheres com 24 a 41 semanas de gestação e com um parto prévio. Duas coortes foram selecionados, sendo uma incluindo mulheres com uma cesariana anterior (n=7.215) e outra com um parto vaginal (n=23.720). Ambos os grupos foram comparados, e uma regressão logística foi realizada para ajustar devido às variáveis de confusão. Os resultados obstétricos incluídos foram ruptura uterina, placenta prévia, complicações relacionadas com uma placentação inadequada, tais como descolamento prematuro da placenta, pré-eclâmpsia e parto prematuro espontâneo. RESULTADOS: Mulheres com uma cesariana anterior foram mais propensas a ter resultados adversos, tais como ruptura uterina (OR=12,4, IC95% 6,8-22,3), descolamento prematuro da placenta (OR=1,4, IC95% 1,1-2,1), pré-eclâmpsia (OR=1,4, IC95% 1,2-1,6) e parto prematuro espontâneo (OR=1,4, IC95% 1,1-1,7). CONCLUSÕES: Pessoas com uma cesárea anterior têm resultados obstétricos adversos na gravidez subsequente, incluindo ruptura de útero, distúrbios relacionados com uma placentação inadequada, tais como pré-eclâmpsia, parto prematuro espontâneo e descolamento prematuro da placenta.

En este capítulo revisaremos cuatro importantes hitos en la salud preventiva de la mujer.Veremos las recomendaciones actuales de manejo del embarazo y atención del parto con los derechos de la mujer y las prácticas médicas recomendadas.Analizaremos los derechos reproductivos de la mujer y el viraje hacia la anticoncepción hormonal. El cáncer cervicouterino sigue siendo una patología prevalente y veremos como los programas de prevención son exitosos y analizaremos la nueva vacuna para virus papiloma. Finalmente revisaremos 2 tópicos de la mujer climatérica: la salud cardiovascular y la salud ósea
In this chapter we review four major milestones in women's preventive health. We will see the current recommendations for management of pregnancy and delivery care to the rights of women and medical practices recommended. Analyze the reproductive rights of women and the shift to hormonal contraception. Cervical cancer remains a prevalent disease and we will see how prevention programs are successful and we should analyze the new papillomavirus vaccines. Finally we will review two topics of climacteric women: cardiovascular health and bone health
