ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: to identify trendand factors associated with adverse birth weight. Methods: cross-sectional design. The analysis uses the 2009-2015 Uruguay Perinatal Computer Systemdata on 303,625 newborns. Results: the prevalence of macrosomia (> 3,999g) has increased from 7.0% to 8.4%. The prevalence of low birth weight (LBW) (< 2,500g) decreased, standing at 6.6% in the last year. The factors that determines more possibilities of LBW were preeclampsia (OR = 4.80; CI95%= 4.57-5.05), inadequate controls (OR = 2.29; CI95%= 2.20-2.39), shorter duration of pregnancy (OR = 2.52; CI95%= 2.50-2.55), previous hypertension (OR = 2.11; CI95%= 1.96-2.27), hypertensive disease of pregnancy (OR = 1.82; CI95%= 1.74-1.90), low prematernal maternal weight (OR = 1.65; CI95%= 1.58-1.74). Macrosomia was associated with type 1 diabetes (OR = 2.21; CI95%= 1.86-2.61), Type 2 or Gestational (OR = 1.78; CI95%= 1.70-1.87), obesity maternal (OR = 2.33; CI95%= 2.24-2.43) and longer gestation duration (OR = 2.62; CI95%= 2.53-2.72). Conclusions: the LBW decreases while the macrosomia increases. The health and nutritional status of women at the beginning of pregnancy, pathologies of the last trimester, smoking, shorter duration of pregnancy and inadequate controls are associated with BPN. Overweight, obesity and metabolic diseases determine macrosomia.


Resumen Objetivos: identificar tendencia y factores asociados al peso al nacer adverso. Métodos: diseño transversal, se analizaron nacimientos entre 2009-2015. El análisis utilizó el Sistema Informático Perinatal de Uruguay, de 2009-2015, datos de 303.625 recién nacidos. Resultados: la prevalencia de macrosomía (>3.999g) aumentó de 7% a 8,4%. La prevalencia de bajo peso al nacer (BPN) (<2.500g) disminuyó situándose en 6,6% en el último año. Los factores que determinaron mayores posibilidades de BPN fueron preeclampsia (OR=4,80; IC95%= 4,57-5,05), inadecuados controles (OR = 2,29; IC95%= 2,20-2,39), menor duración de la gestación (OR = 2,52; IC95%= 2,50-2,55), hipertensión arterial previa (OR = 2,11; IC95%= 1,96-2,27), enfermedad hipertensiva del embarazo (OR = 1,82; IC95%= 1,74-1,90), bajo peso materno pregestacional (OR = 1,65; IC95%= 1,58-1,74). Macrosomía se asoció con diabetes tipo 1 (OR = 2,21; IC95%= 1,86-2,61), tipo 2 o Gestacional (OR = 1,78; IC95%= 1,70-1,87), obesidad materna (OR = 2,33; IC95%= 2,242,43) y duración de gestación (OR = 2,62; IC95%= 2,53-2,72). Conclusiones: existe una tendencia a disminución del BPNy aumento de la macrosomía. La salud y estado nutricional de la mujer al inicio de la gestación, patologías del último trimestre, tabaquismo, menor duración de la gestación e inadecuados controles se asocian a BPN. El sobrepeso, la obesidad y enfermedades metabólicas determinan macrosomía.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivos: Evaluar la capacidad predictiva de las recomendaciones de ganancia de peso gestacional respecto del bajo peso al nacer (BPN) y la macrosomía neonatal, propuestas por el Institute of Medicine (IOM) y el Centro Latinoamericano de Perinatología (CLAP). Materiales y métodos: La búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó en PubMed, Embase (vía Ovid), Cochrane Library, EBSCO host, Scopus, LILACS y SciELO. La calidad metodológica se evaluó utilizando QUADAS 2. Resultados: Se obtuvieron 1192 artícu los, cinco cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, ningún estudio evaluó las recomendaciones CLAP. La sensibilidad y especificidad para predecir el BPN y la macrosomía variaron largamente según el país de realización del estudio. En las cohortes de América Latina, la sensibilidad para predecir el BPN varió entre 62,8% y 74%, y la especificidad, entre 61,7% y 68%, mientras que la sensi bilidad para predecir macrosomía fue 28,8%, y la especificidad, 43,8%. En la mayoría de estudios el valor predictivo positivo fue inferior al 25%, y el valor predictivo negativo, superior al 90%. La mayoría de los estudios tuvo alto riesgo de sesgo y problemas de aplicabilidad en la selección de pacientes. Conclusiones: La limitada calidad metodológica y representatividad de las cohortes estudiadas, probables factores de confusión no ajustados y modestos valores de sensibilidad y especificidad sugieren la necesidad de desarrollar estudios para establecer recomendaciones que se ajusten a las características epidemiológicas de la población peruana.


ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the predictive capacity of gestational weight gain recommendations regarding low birth weight (LBW) and neonatal macrosomia, proposed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the Latin American Center of Perinatology (CLAP). Mate rials and methods: The bibliographic search was performed in PubMed, Embase (via Ovid), Cochrane Library, EBSCOhost, Sco pus, LILACS and SciELO. Methodological quality was evaluated using QUADAS 2. Results: A total of 1,192 articles were identified, only 5 articles met the inclusion criteria, no study evluated the CLAP recomendations. Sensitivity and specificity to predict LBW and macrosomia varied widely depending on which country the study took place. In the Latin American cohorts, the sensitivity for predicting LBW ranged from 62.8% to 74% and the specificity from 61.7% to 68%, while the sensitivity for predicting macrosomia was 28.8% and the specificity 43.8%. In most studies the positive predictive value was less than 25%, and the negative predictive va lue was more than 90%. Most studies had high risk of bias and applicability problems in patient selection. Conclusions: The limited methodological quality and representativeness of the studied cohorts, probable unadjusted confounding factors and modest values of sensitivity and specificity suggest the need to develop studies aimed at providing recommendations that fit the epidemiological characteristics of the Peruvian population.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: determinar el perfil clínico de pacientes con diabetes gestacional (DG) y la incidencia de las complicaciones neonatales. MÉTODOS: estudio descriptivo de una cohorte retrospectiva de gestantes con DG según criterios HAPO/ (IADPSG) International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups y Carpenter-Coustan y sus hijos, en un servicio de alta complejidad obstétrica de Medellín, Colombia entre 2012-2015. Se presentan medidas descriptivas de características maternas y neonatales e incidencia de las complicaciones neonatales. RESULTADOS: se incluyeron 197 maternas y 203 neonatos; 90,5 % maternas tenían sobrepeso u obesidad; la comorbilidad más frecuente fue el trastorno hipertensivo asociado al embarazo en 22,8 %. El manejo de la DG fue 59,3% nutricional exclusivo, 37,1% nutricional más insulina y 3.6% nutricional más metformina. La media de edad gestacional al parto fue 37 sem y 3 días; la DG fue la indicación más frecuente de inducción del parto en 76 % (38/50); 56,4 %, fueron partos vaginales y el 34,6% fueron cesáreas indicadas por DG. Un 11,3 % de los recién nacidos fueron grandes para la edad gestacional (P >90) y se encontraron 2 recién nacidos con peso > 4000 gr. La incidencia de al menos una complicación neonatal fue 27,6 %, 16,7 % presentaron hiperbilirrubinemia, 9,9 % síndrome de dificultad respiratoria (SDR), 3.0% hipoglicemia, 10.8% otras complicaciones y 12,3 % ingresaron a la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales. CONCLUSIONES: la DG es una indicación frecuente de inducción del parto y de indicación de cesárea. Las complicaciones neonatales ocurren en uno de cuatro recién nacidos, aunque observamos una baja incidencia de grandes para la edad gestacional (recién nacidos con peso > percentil 90), hubo 2 otras morbilidades neonatales relacionados con el diagnóstico materno como hiperbilirrubinemia y SDR.


AIM: To determine the clinical profile pregnant women with gestational diabetes and incidence of the neonatal complications. METHODS: Descriptive analysis of a retrospective cohort of pregnant women with gestational diabetes (GD) according to HAPO and Carpenter-Coustan criteria and their children, under a high complexity obstetric service in Medellin, Colombia between 2012-2015. Descriptive measures of maternal and neonatal characteristics and incidence of neonatal complications are presented. RESULTS: The study included 197 pregnant women and 203 neonates: 90.5 % of pregnancies were overweight or obese; the most frequent comorbidity was the hypertensive disorder associated with pregnancy in 22.8 %. The management of the DG was 99.0% nutritional, 37.1% insulin and 3.6 % metformin. The average gestational age at delivery was 37 weeks and 3 days; DG was the most frequent indication of induction of labor in 76 % (38/50); 56.4% were vaginal deliveries and 34.6 % were DG related caesarean sections, 11.3 % of newborns were large for gestational age (P > 90) and two newborns weighing > 4000 gr. The incidence of at least one neonatal complication was 27.6 %, 16.7 % had hyperbilirubinemia, 9.9 % respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), 3.0 % hypoglycemia, 10.8 % other complications and 12.3 % were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. CONCLUSIONS: DG is a frequent indication of induction of labor and indication of caesarean section. Neonatal complications occur in one of four newborns, although we observed a low incidence of macrosomia, there were other neonatal morbidities related to maternal diagnosis such as hyperbilirubinemia and RDS.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective The present study aims to understand to what extent obesity is related to adversematernal, obstetrical, and neonatal outcomes in a Portuguese obstetrical population. Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics of a differentiated perinatal care facility. The study compared 1,183 obese pregnant womenwith 5,399 normal or underweight pregnantwomen for the occurrence of gestational diabetes, hypertensive pregnancy disorders, and preterm birth. Mode of delivery, birthweight, and neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) admissionswere also evaluated. Mean blood glucose values were evaluated and compared between groups, in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. Only singleton pregnancies were considered. Results The prevalence of obesity was 13.6%. Obese pregnant women were significantly more likely to have cesarean sections (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.0, p< 0.001), gestational diabetes (aOR 2.14, p< 0.001), hypertensive pregnancy disorders (aOR 3.43, p< 0.001), and large-for-gestational age ormacrosomic infants (aOR 2.13, p< 0.001), and less likely to have small-for-gestational age newborns (aOR 0.51, p< 0.009). No significant differences were found in terms of pretermbirths, fetal/neonatal deaths, low birthweight newborns, and neonatal ICU admissions among cases and controls. Maternal obesity was significantly associated with higher mean blood glucose levels, in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. Conclusion Obesity is associated with increased risks of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. These risks seem to increase progressively with increasing body mass index (BMI) class. Female obesity should be considered a major public health issue and has consequences on maternal-fetal health.


Resumo Objetivo O presente estudo pretende avaliar em que medida a obesidade influencia os desfechos maternos, obstétricos e neonatais em uma população obstétrica portuguesa. Métodos Um estudo caso-controle retrospectivo foi realizado no departamento de obstetrícia de um centro perinatal diferenciado. O estudo comparou 1.183 grávidas obesas com 5.399 grávidas normoponderais ou com baixo peso para a ocorrência de diabetes gestacional, doenças hipertensivas da gravidez e parto pré-termo. Via de parto, peso ao nascimento e admissão na unidade de cuidados neonatais também foram avaliados. Os valores glicêmicos médios foram avaliados e comparados entre os dois grupos, no primeiro e segundo trimestres de gravidez. Apenas as gravidezes unifetais foram avaliadas. Resultados A prevalência da obesidade foi de 13.6%. As grávidas obesas tiveramrisco significativamente superior a ter uma cesariana (odds ratio ajustado [Ora] 2.0, p < 0.001), diabetes gestacional (ORa 2.14, p < 0.001), doenças hipertensivas da gravidez (ORa 3.43, p < 0.001), recém-nascidos grandes para a idade gestacional ou macrossômicos (ORa 2.13, p < 0.001) e menor probabilidade de ter recém-nascidos pequenos para a idade gestacional (ORa 0.51, p < 0.009). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa quanto aos partos pré-termo, mortes fetais/neonatais, baixo peso ao nascer e admissão à unidade de cuidados intensivos neonatais. O odds ratio foi ajustado para a idade, número de gestações, paridade, ganho ponderal, doenças hipertensivas da gravidez e diabetes gestacional. A obesidade materna esteve significativamente associada a valores glicêmicos médios superiores, no primeiro e segundo trimestres de gravidez. Conclusão A obesidade está associada a maior risco de desfechos adversos na gravidez e neonatais. Este risco parece aumentar progressivamente com o aumento do índice de massa corporal (IMC). A obesidade feminina deve ser considerada um importante problema de saúde pública e que tem repercussões na saúde maternofetal.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La macrosomía fetal es un factor de riesgo para complicaciones maternas y neonatales. Se ha asociado a mal control metabólico del embarazo, diabetes gestacional y pregestacional. A la fecha, no hay estudios locales sobre las características clínicas de madres no diabéticas de hijos macrosómicos. Objetivo. Describir características clínicas de madres sin antecedente de diabetes que tienen hijos macrosómicos, atendidas en la maternidad del Hospital Carlos van Buren durante el año 2017. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal con enfoque analítico. Se recolectó la información a través de fichas clínicas y carnet prenatal de las pacientes no diabéticas con hijos macrosómicos. Se presentan de manera descriptiva las distintas variables de estudio, y se analizaron las asociaciones entre las variables mediante análisis estadístico. Resultados: Se incluyeron 68 madres con recién nacidos macrosómicos, con un promedio de edad de 25,8 años (±6.3 años). Entre sus hijos, 48 (70.5%) fueron de sexo masculino, con un peso promedio de 4.207,5g (±183g). De las 49 (72%) pacientes multíparas, ninguna presentó historia de diabetes gestacional previa. El índice de masa corporal (IMC) promedio fue de 29,7 (±5.2), el 39,4% (20) presentó acrocordon y el 19,1% (13) acantosis nigricans. La glicemia de ayuno del primer trimestre promedio fue de 83.4 mg/dL (±5.4mg/dL) y el promedio de HbA1c fue 5.2% (±0.3%). El 47% de las pacientes registró complicaciones del parto. Se encontró una asociación significativa entre las complicaciones del parto y la HbA1c (p = 0.014) y una correlación positiva entre el IMC materno con el peso de nacimiento (Rho = 0.23) Conclusiones: La macrosomía se asocia a complicaciones del parto, incluso en hijos de madres no diabéticas. Existe una correlación positiva entre un mayor IMC y el desarrollo de macrosomía. Son necesarios estudios de distinta metodología para desarrollar modelos predictivos en base a factores de riesgo.


Introduction. Fetal macrosomia is a risk factor for maternal and neonatal complications. It has been associated with poor metabolic control of pregnancy, gestational and pregestational diabetes. To date, there are no local studies on the clinical characteristics of non-diabetic mothers of macrosomic children. Objective. Describe clinical characteristics of mothers without a history of diabetes who have macrosomic children, attended in the maternity of Carlos van Buren Hospital during the year 2017. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study with an analytical approach was carried out. The information was collected through clinical files and prenatal card of non-diabetic patients with macrosomic children. The different study variables are presented in a descriptive way, and the associations between the variables were analyzed through statistical analysis. Results: We included 68 mothers with macrosomic newborns, with an average age of 25.8 years (± 6.3 years). Among their children, 48 (70.5%) were male, with an average weight of 4,207.5g (± 183g). Of the 49 (72%) multiparous patients, none had a history of previous gestational diabetes. The average body mass index (BMI) was 29.7 (± 5.2), 39.4% (20) presented acrocordon and 19.1% (13) acanthosis nigricans. Fasting glycemia in the first quarter was 83.4 mg / dL (± 5.4 mg / dL) and the average HbA1c was 5.2% (± 0.3%). 47% of the patients registered complications of childbirth. A significant association was found between labor complications and HbA1c (p = 0.014) and a positive correlation between maternal BMI and birth weight (Rho = 0.23). Conclusions: Macrosomia is associated with labor complications, even in children of non-diabetic mothers. There is a positive correlation between a higher BMI and the development of macrosomia. Studies of different methodology are necessary to develop predictive models based on risk factors.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To describe the main predictors for excess birth weight in Brazilian children. Data sources: Systematic review carried out in the bibliographic databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and LILACS. The research in the gray literature was performed using the Google Scholar database. The bias risk analysis was adapted from the Downs and Black scale, used to evaluate the methodology of the included studies. Data synthesis: Using the classifications of fetal macrosomia (>4.000 g or ≥4.000 g) and large for gestational age (above the 90th percentile), 64 risk factors for excess birth weight were found in 33 scientific articles in the five regions of the country. Of the 64 risk factors, 31 were significantly associated with excess birth weight, with excess gestational weight gain, pre-gestational body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, and gestational diabetes mellitus being the most prevalent. Conclusion: The main predictors for excess birth weight in Brazil are modifiable risk factors. The implementation of adequate nutritional status in the gestational period and even after childbirth appears to be due to the quality and frequency of the follow-up of the mothers and their children by public health agencies.


Resumo Objetivo: Descrever os principais preditores para o excesso de peso ao nascer em crianças brasileiras. Fontes dos dados: Revisão sistemática feita nos bancos de dados bibliográficos: PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science e Lilacs. A pesquisa na literatura cinzenta foi feita na base de dados Google Acadêmico. A análise do risco de viés foi adaptada da escala de Downs e Black, usada para avaliar a metodologia dos estudos incluídos. Síntese dos dados: Com o uso das classificações macrossomia fetal (> 4.000 g ou ≥ 4.000 g) e grande para idade gestacional acima do percentil 90, foram encontrados 64 fatores de risco para excesso de peso ao nascer em 33 artigos científicos nas cinco regiões do país. Dos 64 fatores de risco, 31 foram significativamente associados a excesso de peso ao nascer, os mais prevalentes foram ganho de peso gestacional excessivo, índice de massa corporal pré-gestacional ≥25 kg/m2 e diabetes mellitus gestacional. Conclusão: Os principais preditores para o excesso de peso ao nascer no Brasil são fatores de risco modificáveis. O estabelecimento de um estado nutricional adequado no período gestacional e mesmo após o parto parece ser a qualidade e a frequência do acompanhamento dos órgãos de saúde junto às mães e seus filhos.

ABSTRACT

La macrosomie constitue un problème de santé publique en Afrique subsaharienne, en raison de l'importance de sa morbidité et mortalité néonatales. Dans le monde, sa fréquence est en augmentation et peu d'études ont été réalisées au Gabon. Objectif : déterminer la fréquence, évaluer le pronostic materno-foetal et identifier les facteurs associés aux risques de la macrosomie. Patients et méthodes : il s'agissait d'une étude descriptive, analytique et prospective qui a été réalisée entre janvier et décembre 2017 au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Libreville. Les nouveaux nés de poids supérieur ou égal à 4 000 grammes ou supérieur au 90ème percentile des courbes de référence pour l'âge gestationnel ont été inclus. Les variables étudiées étaient sociodémographiques, les antécédents, le mode d'accouchement et les complications cliniques chez la mère. Pour le nouveau-né, elles concernaient, les paramètres anthropométriques, le score d'Apgar et le profil évolutif. Le test Khi 2 a été utilisé pour la comparaison des proportions avec un seuil de signification de p≤ 0,05. Résultats : la fréquence de la macrosomie était de 3,85%. L'âge moyen des mères était de 29,3 ± 6,1 ans. Un antécédent de macrosomie était retrouvé dans 47 cas (15,6%) et un de diabète gestationnel dans deux cas (0,7%). L'accouchement était par voie basse dans 247 cas (81,8 %) et en présentation céphalique dans 297 cas (98,3%). Une déchirure périnéale était notée dans 67 cas (22,2 %). Les nouveau-nés étaient à terme dans 182 cas (60,2%), de sexe masculin dans 201 cas (66,6%) et de sexe féminin dans 101 cas (33,4%). Ils avaient un poids moyen de 4257 ± 275,3 grammes, le score d'APGAR était ≥ 7 à la 1ère minute dans 253 cas (83,8%). Une élongation du plexus brachial était notée dans 22 cas (7,3%) et un décès dans neuf 9 cas (3,0%). Un poids de naissance supérieur à 4 500 grammes augmentait le risque de complications associé à la macrosomie. Conclusion : La macrosomie est peu fréquente dans notre contexte hospitalier mais la morbi-mortalité maternelle et néonatale qui en découle n'est pas négligeable. Le diagnostic précoce de macrosomie et une prise en charge multidisciplinaire permettrait de réduire la survenue de complications

ABSTRACT

Abstract Purpose To describe the trends in the prevalence of macrosomia (birth weight ± 4,000 g) according to gestational age in Brazil in the periods of 2001-2010 and 2012-2014. Methods Ecological study with data from the Brazilian Live Birth Information System (SINASC, in the Portuguese acronym) regarding singleton live newborns born from 22 gestational weeks. The trends in Brazil as a whole and in each of its five regions were analyzed according to preterm (22-36 gestational weeks) and term (37-42 gestational weeks) strata. Annual Percent Changes (APCs) based on the Prais-Winsten method and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to verify statistically significant changes in 2001-2010. Results In Brazil, the prevalence of macrosomic births was of 5.3% (2001-2010) and 5.1% (2012-2014). The rates were systematically higher in the North and Northeast Regions both in the preterm and in term strata. In the preterm stratum, the North Region presented the highest variation in the prevalence of macrosomia (+137.5%) when comparing 2001 (0.8%) to 2010 (1.9%). In the term stratum, downward trends were observed in Brazil as a whole and in every region. The trends for 2012-2014 were more heterogeneous, with the prevalence systematically higher than that observed for 2001-2010. The APC in the preterm stratum (2001-2010) showed a statistically significant trend change in the North (APC: 15.4%; 95%CI: 0.6-32.3) and South (APC: 13.5%; 95%CI: 4.8-22.9) regions. In the term stratum, the change occurred only in the North region (APC:-1.5%; 95%CI: -2.5--0.5). Conclusion The prevalence of macrosomic births in Brazil was higher than 5.0%. Macrosomia has potentially negative health implications for both children and adults, and deserves close attention in the public health agenda in Brazil, as well as further support for investigation and intervention.


Resumo Objetivo Descrever tendências nas prevalências de macrossomia (peso ao nascer ± 4.000 g) segundo idade gestacional no Brasil em 2001-2010 e em 2012-2014. Métodos Estudo ecológico com dados do Sistema de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC), incluindo bebês nascidos vivos a partir de 22 semanas, de gestações únicas. As tendências no Brasil como umtodo e nas suas cinco regiões foramanalisadas nos estratos pré-termo (22-36 semanas de gestação) e termo (37-42 semanas de gestação). Mudanças percentuais anuais (APCs) baseadas nos modelos de regressão propostos por Prais-Winsten e intervalos de confiança (ICs) de 95% foram calculados para verificar diferenças estatisticamente significantes no período 2001-2010. Resultados No Brasil, a prevalência de macrossomia foi de 5,3% (2001-2010) e 5,1% (2012-2014). As frequências foram sistematicamente maiores nas regiões Norte e Nordeste, tanto no pré-termo quanto no termo. No pré-termo, a região Norte apresentou a variação mais importante na prevalência de macrossomia (+137,5%) quando comparados o ano de 2001 (0,8%) e o de 2010 (1,9%). No termo, tendências declinantes foram observadas no Brasil e em todas as suas regiões. As tendências em 2012-2014 foram mais heterogêneas, com frequências maiores do que aquelas observadas em 2001-2010. As APCs no estrato pré-termo (2001-2010) mostraram que as mudanças foram estatisticamente significantes no Norte (APC: 15,4%; IC95%: 0,6-32,3) e no Sul (APC: 13,5%; IC95%: 4,8-22,9). No termo, a mudança ocorreu apenas no Norte (APC: -1,5%; IC95%: -2,5--0,5). Conclusão A prevalência de macrossomia no Brasil foi maior do que 5,0%. A macrossomia tem implicações potencialmente negativas para a saúde da criança e do adulto, e merece mais atenção das políticas de saúde pública no Brasil, bem como mais apoio para investigação e intervenção.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivos Determinar la prevalencia de macrosomía y factores asociados en Perú, y describir la ocurrencia de complicaciones durante el parto y posparto. Materiales y métodos Los pesos al nacer de los niños menores de cinco años fueron analizados usando datos de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES) 2013, llevada a cabo por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática. Los niños con un peso mayor a 4000 g al nacer fueron considerados como macrosómicos. Se empleó un análisis de regresión logística para establecer la asociación independiente de factores sociodemográficos con la macrosomía. Resultados La muestra estuvo constituida por 6121 niños. La prevalencia de macrosomía fue 5,3% (intervalo de confianza al 95%: 4,8 a 5,9). El sexo masculino, un orden de nacimiento mayor, la obesidad materna y una mayor estatura materna estuvieron independientemente asociados con la macrosomía. Los partos por cesárea fueron más frecuentes en niños macrosómicos (43,9% vs 26,9%). Las complicaciones durante el parto y posparto fueron frecuentes, pero no estadísticamente asociadas con la macrosomía. Conclusiones La prevalencia de macrosomía en Perú es relativamente baja comparada con otros países de ingresos bajos o medios. Los factores asociados con la macrosomía fueron principalmente no modificables, con excepción de la obesidad materna. Los niños macrosómicos nacieron más frecuentemente por cesárea. La reducción del peso y la prevención de la obesidad en mujeres en edad fértil en Perú podrían potencialmente reducir la macrosomía y las tasas de cesáreas.


ABSTRACT Objectives To determine the prevalence of macrosomia and factors associated with it in Peru and to describe the occurrence of complications peri- and postpartum. Materials and Methods Birth weights of children under the age of 5 years were analyzed using data from the 2013 Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) carried out by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática. Children with a birth weight higher than 4000 g were considered macrosomic. A logistic regression analysis was used to establish the independent association of sociodemographic factors with macrosomia. Results The sample comprised 6121 children. The prevalence of macrosomia was 5.3% (95% interval confidence: 4.8-5.9%). Being male, a higher birth order, maternal obesity, and greater maternal height were independently linked with macrosomia. Caesarean births were more common in macrosomic children than unaffected ones (43.9% vs 26.9%). Complications during birth and postpartum were common but not statistically linked with macrosomia. Conclusions The prevalence of macrosomia in Peru is relatively low compared to other low-to-middle income countries. The factors associated with macrosomia were mainly unmodifiable, with the exception of maternal obesity. Macrosomic children were more frequently born by caesarean. Weight reduction and the prevention of obesity in women of childbearing age in Peru could potentially reduce macrosomia and caesarean rates.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: To investigate the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in women aged ≥41 years relatively to those aged 21-34. METHODS: Approximately 8.5 million records of singleton births in Brazilian hospitals in the period 2004-2009 were investigated. Odds ratios were estimated for preterm and post-term births, for low Apgar scores at 1 min and at 5 min, for asphyxia, for low birth weight, and for macrosomia. RESULTS: For pregnant women ≥41, increased risks were identified for preterm births, for post-term births (except for primiparous women with schooling ≥12 years), and for low birth weight. When comparing older vs. younger women, higher educational levels ensure similar risks of low Apgar score at 1 min (for primiparous mothers and term births), of low Apgar score at 5 min (for term births), of macrosomia (for non-primiparous women), and of asphyxia. CONCLUSION: As a rule, older mothers are at higher risk of adverse perinatal outcomes, which, however, may be mitigated or eliminated, depending on gestational age, parity, and, especially, on the education level of the pregnant woman.


RESUMO OBJETIVOS: Investigar o risco de resultados perinatais adversos em mulheres ≥ 41 anos relativamente àquelas com idade 21-34. MÉTODOS: Cerca de 8,5 milhões de registros de nascimentos únicos em hospitais brasileiros no período 2004-2009 foram investigados. Odds ratios foram estimados para nascimentos prematuros e pós-termo, baixos índices de Apgar no 1° e 5° minutos, asfixia, baixo peso ao nascer e macrossomia. RESULTADOS: Para as mulheres grávidas ≥ 41, aumento de riscos foram identificados para nascimentos prematuros, partos pós-termo (com exceção de primíparas com escolaridade ≥ 12 anos) e baixo peso ao nascer. Relativamente a mulheres mais velhas vs. mais jovens, maiores níveis de escolaridade garantem riscos semelhantes de baixo índice de Apgar no 1° minuto (para primíparas e nascimentos a termo), de baixo índice de Apgar no 5° minuto (para nascimentos a termo), de macrossomia (para não primíparas) e de asfixia. CONCLUSÃO: Em geral, mães mais velhas estão sob maiores riscos de desfechos perinatais adversos, mas esses são minimizados ou eliminados a depender da idade gestacional, da paridade e, em especial, da escolaridade da gestante.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aims of this study were to estimate the local rate of postpartum diabetes screening after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancies, and to identify clinical variables associated with retesting rates and with the persistence of decreased glucose tolerance. Subjects and methods: Prospective cohort of GDM women with prenatal delivery at a specialized center, from November 2009 to May 2012. All women were advised to schedule a 6 weeks postpartum 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Results: Of the 209 women included, 108 (51.7%) returned to be tested with fasting plasma glucose (n = 14), OGTT (n = 93) or random glucose (n = 1). Return was associated with lower parity rate (2 vs. 3, p < 0.001) and higher pregnancy 2-h OGTT (165 vs. 155 mg/dL, p = 0.034), but not with socio-demographic characteristics. Four women (3.7%) had diabetes, 22 (20.4%) had impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance. Persistent hyperglycemia was associated with a positive family history of diabetes (relative risk - RR 2.41, p = 0.050), diagnostic 2-h OGTT in pregnancy (RR 1.01, p = 0.045), insulin use during pregnancy (RR 2.37, p = 0.014), and cesarean section (RR 2.61, p = 0.015). Conclusions: Even though postpartum abnormalities were frequent in GDM, rates of postpartum diabetes screening were undesirably low. As no specific clinical profile defines who will adhere to postpartum testing, it is essential to encourage all women to reevaluate their glucose status, particularly those with a family history of diabetes and more severe hyperglycemia.

Objetivos: Os objetivos foram estimar a taxa de reavaliação de diabetes pós-parto em mulheres com diabetes melito gestacional (DMG) e identificar fatores associados ao retorno e à persistência das alterações glicêmicas. Sujeitos e métodos: Coorte prospectiva de mulheres com DMG atendidas em ambulatório de pré-natal especializado, de novembro de 2009 a maio de 2012. Todas foram orientadas a agendar o teste oral de tolerância à glicose (TOTG) a partir da sexta semana pós-parto. Resultados: Das 209 mulheres arroladas na gestação, 108 (51,7%) foram avaliadas após o parto: 14 com glicemia de jejum, 93 com o TOTG e uma com glicemia ao acaso. O retorno para reavaliação foi associado com menor paridade (2 vs. 3, p < 0,001) e com glicemia de 2-h mais elevada no TOTG diagnóstico (165 vs. 155 mg/dL, p = 0,034). Diabetes foi diagnosticado em quatro mulheres (3,7%) e pré-diabetes em 22 (20,4%). Análise multivariada evidenciou que a história familiar de diabetes (risco relativo – RR 2,41, p = 0,050), a glicemia de 2 horas no TOTG da gestação (RR 1,01, p = 0,045), o uso de insulina na gestação (RR 2,37, p = 0,014) e a taxa de cesariana (RR 2,61, p = 0,015) foram os fatores associados à persistência da hiperglicemia. Conclusões: O retorno para reavaliação foi baixo, embora as alterações glicêmicas tenham sido frequentes. Como não houve fatores que indiquem quais mulheres retornarão, estratégias para aumentar a adesão são necessárias, especialmente quando há história familiar ou o DMG foi mais grave.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: El riesgo de un macrosomía fetal (con peso = 4.000 g) es 3,4 veces más elevado en los casos de obesidad pregestacional materna. Objetivo: determinar la asociación entre el desarrollo de macrosomía fetal y el antecedente de obesidad materna pregestacional en pacientes atendidas en el Centro Materno Infantil de la Cátedra y Servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia, Facultad de Ciencias Médicas-Universidad Nacional de Asunción, de enero a agosto del 2013. Pacientes y métodos: diseño de casos y controles, donde se comparó la presencia de obesidad pregestacional y el desarrollo de macrosomía fetal. Resultados: ingresaron al estudio 249 recién nacidos: 110 casos y 139 controles. La prevalencia de de macrosomía en el tiempo estudiado fue 3,9%, en las mujeres obesas fue de 61,5%. Se encontró asociación significativa de macrosomía fetal con obesidad materna pregestacional (p 0,01) y diabetes gestacional (p 0,0007). El índice de masa corporal, peso pregestacional y la ganancia de peso durante el embarazo fueron estadísticamente diferentes entre casos y controles. La cesárea fue la forma de terminación del embarazo más frecuente, y el motivo fue la desproporción cefalopélvica. Conclusión: el antecedente de obesidad materna pregestacional resultó ser un factor de riesgo significativo para el desarrollo de macrosomía fetal.


ABSTRACT Introduction: The risk of macrosomy with a weight = 4000 g is 3.4 times higher in cases of maternal prepregnancy obesity. Objective: To determine the association between the development of fetal macrosomy and a history of maternalprepregnancy obesity in patients treated at the Children´s Center for Maternal and Chair Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, National University of Asuncion, from January to August, 2013. Patients and methods: Case-control design, where the presence of pre-pregnancy obesity and the development of fetal macrosomywere compared. Results: were admitted 249 newborns to the study: 110 cases and 139 controls. The prevalence of macrosomy in the time studied was 3.9%, in obese women was 61.5%. We found significant association between fetal macrosomy and prepregnant obesity (p 0.01) and gestational diabetes (p 0.0007). The body mass index, pre-pregnancy weight andweight gain during pregnancy was statistically different between cases and controls. Cesarean section was the morefrecuent mode of termination of pregnancy and the reason was the cephalopelvic disproportion. Conclusion: the history of prepregnancy maternal obesity was a risk significant factor for the development of fetal macrosomy.

Esta puede asociarse a diferentes factores de riesgo, recogidos en los antecedentes de la paciente: IMC, diabetes materna, multiparidad, embarazo prolongado y los antecedentes de hijos macrosómicos anteriores, entre otros. Objetivo: identificar los factores de riesgo asociados a la macrosomía fetal. Describir las características clínicas y socio demográficas de las madres. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio de casos y controles en la Cátedra y Servicio de Clínica Gineco Obstétrica del Hospital de Clínicas San Lorenzo, dirigida por el Prof. Dr. Vicente Bataglia Doldan, donde se incluyeron 200 pacientes que tuvieron su parto en el periodo de enero a diciembre 2012. En el estudio se analizó la asociación de ciertos factores de riesgo calculando OR y sus respectivos intervalos de confianza al 95%. Resultados: la media de edad en el grupo control fue 24,4 ± 6 años y 26,5± 6 años para los casos. El mayor porcentaje de escolaridad se concentró en el nivel de secundario. Sobre la procedencia el mayor número de mujeres procedieron del Departamento Central. Los factores de riesgo maternos significativos fueron: obesidad (OR=2,7) (p<0,001), antecedente de feto macrosómico (OR=8,6) (p<0,001), embarazo postérmino (OR=14,7) (p<0,001), la paridad previa (OR=1,8) (p<0,05). No fueron estadísticamente significativos la diabetes materna, el aumento de peso mayor a 15 kg, el antecedente familiar de diabetes, la edad mayor a 35 años ni sexo fetal masculino. Conclusión: los factores de riesgo que se asociaron significativamente a la macrosomía fetal fueron la obesidad, el antecedente de feto macrosómico y embarazo postérmino.


ABSTRACT Introduction: fetal macrosomy defines to the newborn with weight equal to or greater than 4000g. This may be associated with different risk factors, collected in the background of the patient: BMI , maternal diabetes, multiparity, prolonged pregnancy and history of previous macrosomic children, among others. Objective: To identify risk factors associated with fetal macrosomy. To describe the clinical features and sociodemographic characteristics of mothers. Materials and Methods: A case-control study was conducted in the Department of Clinical Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of the Hospital de Clinicas San Lorenzo, directed by Prof. Dr. Vincent Battaglia Doldan, 200 patients where included, which gave birth in the period of January to December 2012. In the study the association of certain risk factors by calculating OR and confidence respective intervals to 95% were analyzed. Results: The mean age in the control group cases was 24.4 ± 6 and 26.5 ± 6 years. The highest schooling percentage was focused on the secondary level. Relative to procedence; mayority of women came from the Central Department. Significant maternal risk factors were obesity (OR = 2.7) (p < 0,001), history of macrosomic fetus (OR = 8.6) (p < 0.001), post-term pregnancy (OR = 14.7) (p <0.001), the previous parity (OR = 1.8) (p <0.05). Maternal diabetes, increased weight to 15 kg, family history of diabetes, age greater than 35 years and male sex where not statidtically significant.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Determinar los factores de riesgo asociados a macrosomía fetal en recién nacidos del Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión entre Enero y Diciembre del año 2009. Material y Métodos: La investigación es de tipo analítico con casos control, retrospectivo e incluye a todos los pacientes con macrosomía del cual se ha obtenido una muestra, con una cantidad similar de casos control que se ha realizado en el Hospital Daniel Alcides Carrión del Callao entre Enero a Diciembre del año 2009. Resultados: En el año 2009 en el Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión el total de recién nacidos fue de 6447, de ellos se tomó la muestra de 130 macrosómicos. La prevalencia fue de 6,23 por ciento de recién nacidos macrosómicos. El 67 por ciento (87) fue masculino y el 33 por ciento (43) fue femenino, las razones por las cuales se da una predominancia pero aún con los esfuerzos realizados no llegamos a determinar la razón de ese fenómeno, que consideramos sea un tema específico de investigación. El sexo se distribuye proporcionalmente entre los casos y controles, al igual que la talla materna definida en >=160 y <160 cm, el control prenatal en <= 4 y >4 controles. La presencia de infección del tracto urinario (ITU), vulvovaginitis (VV), preeclampsia (PE), oligoamnios (OLIGOAM), ruptura prematura de membranas (RPM) y antecedente de diabetes (ANT DM) es similar proporcionalmente en casos y controles. (p>0,05). La obesidad se distribuye en mayor proporción en los casos que en los controles (56,4 por ciento vs 37,2 por ciento). Conclusiones: En general los resultados encontrados en el presente estudio coinciden con otros estudios similares realizados en otros países y en el Perú. La incidencia de macrosomía al nacer que se encontró fue de 6,23 por ciento, en el Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión entre Enero a Diciembre del 2009.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Estimar la prevalencia e identificar los factores maternos, de la atención del parto y del recién nacido asociados a recién nacidos macrosómicos en el Hospital Nacional Docente Madre-Niño "San Bartolomé" en el periodo de enero a diciembre del 2011. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio analítico, observacional y restrospectivo tipo caso control. La población universo de casos fueron los recién nacidos con peso >=4000 gr y de controles los recién nacidos a término con peso >=2500 gr y <4000 gr. Se realizó muestreo aleatorio simple para la selección de los casos; asimismo, para cada caso se consideró dos controles. La población muestral estuvo constituida por 102 casos y 204 controles. Las variable dependiente fue recién nacido macrosómico y las variables independientes se consideraron según la revisión de la literatura dividiendo en factores maternos, de la atención del parto y de los recién nacidos. La información se tomó de las historias clínicas perinatales y maternas. Asimismo, se utilizó el sistema informático perinatal (SIP 2000) del hospital. Para el procesamiento y análisis de la información se utilizó el software SPSS versión 15. La determinación de la asociación de variables cualitativas y la variable dependiente fue con la prueba del Chi cuadrado (X2) con la estimación de Odds Ratio (OR) e Intervalos de Confianza (IC) al 95 por ciento de confianza. Para las variables cuantitativas se utilizó la prueba de "t" de Student comparando medias con nivel de confianza del 95 por ciento y con p<0.05. El proyecto de investigación fue sometido a la evaluación y aprobación del Comité de Ética y de Investigación del hospital. Resultados: La prevalencia de recién nacidos macrosómicos, durante el periodo de estudio fue 8.6 por ciento (602 macrosómicos), siendo 7013 el total de nacimientos. El grupo de recién nacidos macrosómicos con peso entre 4000-4499 fue el más frecuente constituyendo el 87.2 por ciento (89 casos). En relación a los factores...


Objectives: To estimate the prevalence and identify the maternal, delivery care and newborn factors associated with macrosomic infants in the Hospital Nacional Docente Madre-Niño "San Bartolome" in the period January to December 2011. Methods: We performed an analytical, observational and retrospective case-control study. The population universe of cases were infants weighing >=4000 gr and of controls were term newborns weighing >=2500 gr and <4000 gr. Random sampling was conducted for the selection of cases; also be considered for each case two controls. The sample population consisted of 102 cases and 204 controls. The dependent variable was macrosomic newborn and the independent variables were considered as the literature review dividing on maternal, care delivery and newborns factors. The information was taken from the perinatal and maternal medical records. Also used the perinatal information system (SIP 2000) of the hospital. For processing and data analysis software was used SPSS version 15. The determination of the association of qualitative variables and the dependent variable was the chi square test (x2) with the estimate Odds Ratio (OR) and confidence intervals (CI) at 95 per cent confidence. For quantitative variables used test "t" of Student comparing means with confidence level of 95 per cent and p<0.05. The research project was submitted for review and approval of the Ethics Committee and Research Hospital. Results: The prevalence of macrosomic newborns during the study period was 8.6 per cent (602 macrosomic), with 7013 total births. The group of macrosomic infants weighing between 4000-4499 9 was the most frequent constituting 87.2 per cent (89 cases). Regarding maternal factors associated with macrosomia was found with p<0.01: Overweight (OR=2.6, CI:1.5-4.3), weight >=65Kg (OR=2.9, CI:1.7-4.9), weight gain >12kg (OR=2.3, CI:1.3-3.9), weight gain >16kg (OR=2.7, CI:1.4-5.1), history of macrosomic newborn (OR=3.8,CI:1.7-8.3), gestational age...

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: la macrosomía fetal es clínicamente relevante debido a que se asocia a un incremento significativo de la morbilidad materno-fetal. La ecografía es el estándar dorado para la estimación del peso fetal y la valoración de su crecimiento. Tiene una sensibilidad de 21,6 por ciento, por tanto la probabilidad de detectar ma-crosomía es baja para todas las fórmulas. El error entre el peso real y el estimado es 7,5-10 por ciento, y en el caso de RN macrosomas éste puede llegar al 15 por ciento. Objetivo: analizar las tasas de detección de fetos macroso-mas mediante biometría ultrasonográfica en la Unidad de Gestión Clínica de Obstetricia y Ginecología del Hospital Universitario San Cecilio, Granada, España. Método: estudio retrospectivo de casos-controles. Se analizaron gestaciones únicas a término, comparándo peso fetal estimado ecográfico con el peso del recién nacido (RN). Se incluyeron 200 casos (criterio de inclusión: peso del RN >4.000 g) y 100 controles (criterio de inclusión: peso del RN 3.000-4000 g). Resultados: la incidencia de macrosomas fue del 7,5 por ciento. El error medio en la estimación de peso fetal en los macrosomas fue de 577 g. El error medio en el grupo control fue 206,6 g, diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05). Conclusión: nuestros resultados muestran una tasa de error para la detección de macrosomía del 13,5 por ciento (577 g), algo inferior a la de diferentes publicaciones. Debemos ser cautos al decidir la interrupción del embarazo por esta causa.


Background: fetal macrosomia is clinically relevant due to its association with a significant increase in maternal-fetal morbidity. Ultrasonography is the gold-standard method to estimate fetal weight and growth assessment. It has a sensitivity of 21.6 percent, therefore the probability of detecting macrosomia is low for all ultrasonographycs formulas. The error between the estimated and actual weight is 7.5-10 percent, and in the case of macrosoma it can reach 15 percent. Objective: to analyze the detection rate of macrosomia fetal by ultrasound examination at our Unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hospital Universitario San Cecilio, Granada, Spain. Methods: this is a retrospective study of cases and controls. We analyzed singleton pregnancies comparing estimated fetal weight with the weight of the newborn. It included 200 cases (inclusion criteria: newborn weight >4000 g) and 100 control (inclusion criteria: newborn weight 3000-4000 g). Results: the incidence of macrosomia was 7.5 percent. The mean error in estimating fetal weight in the macrosomia group was 577 g, while the mean error in the control group was 206.6 g, the difference mean error was statistically significant (p <0.05). Conclusion: our results show an error rate for detection of macrosomia of 13.5 percent (577 g), somewhat lower than those reported in different reviews. We must be cautious in deciding the termination of pregnancy by this cause.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Excessive gestational weight gain is related to many complications (both maternal and fetal), such as macrosomia. The most common complications in macrosomic fetuses include: increased risk of intrauterine death, need for intensive care, fractures, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, paralysis of the brachial plexus and obesity in childhood and adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between gestational and fetal weight gain and the incidence of macrosomia in two maternity hospitals. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cohort study in two public maternity hospitals in Goiânia, Brazil. METHODS: This was a cohort study on 200 healthy pregnant women with normal body mass index, divided into two groups: one with normal weight gain and the other with excessive weight gain during pregnancy. RESULTS: The cohorts were similar regarding maternal age, per capita income, schooling level and reproductive behavior. The fetal weight was greater in the cohort with excessive maternal weight gain (3,388.83 g ± 514.44 g) than in the cohort with normal weight (3,175.86 g ± 413.70 g) (P < 0.01). The general incidence of macrosomia was 6.5%: 13.0% (13 cases) in the cohort with excessive maternal weight gain and 0.0% (0 cases) in the cohort with adequate weight gain. CONCLUSION: Excessive maternal weight gain was associated with increased fetal birth weight and incidence of macrosomia.


CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: O ganho de peso gestacional excessivo está relacionado a inúmeras complicações tanto maternas como fetais, como por exemplo, a macrossomia. Esta, por sua vez, pode aumentar o risco de morte intra-uterina, necessidade de cuidados intensivos, fraturas, hiperbilirrubinemia neonatal, paralisia do plexo braquial e obesidade na infância e fase adulta. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a associação do ganho de peso gestacional com o ganho de peso fetal e a incidência de macrossomia em duas maternidades. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo de coorte em duas maternidades públicas em Goiânia, Brasil. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte com 200 gestantes saudáveis com índice de massa corporal normal, divididas em dois grupos, um com ganho de peso adequado e o outro com peso excessivo na gravidez. RESULTADOS: As coortes foram semelhantes quanto à idade materna, renda per capita, escolaridade e comportamento reprodutivo. O peso fetal foi maior na coorte de ganho de peso materno excessivo (3388,83 g ± 514,44 g) do que na de peso normal (3175,86 g ± 413,70 g) (P < 0,01). A incidência geral de macrossomia foi 6,5% sendo de 13,0% (13 casos) na coorte com ganho de peso materno excessivo e de 0,0% (0 casos) na de peso adequado. CONCLUSÃO: O ganho de peso materno excessivo esteve associado ao aumento do peso fetal ao nascer e à incidência de macrossomia.
