RESUMO

Introduction: New onset hypertension is more common in antenatal women with increased Body Mass Index (BMI). This may be due to either gestational hypertension (GH) or pre-eclampsia (PE). GH unlike PE is not associated with poor perinatal outcomes and would not require interventions such as increased antenatal visits and induction of labour. Our study assessed the prevalence of GH and PE in women with increased BMI as compared to women with normal BMI. Setting and Design: Historical cohort of a large tertiary centre. Method and Materials: Data from the electronic birth registry of the labour room was used to identify women who had a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 at delivery. Women with a normal BMI matched for the mode of delivery was taken as control. 148 women with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 were compared with 140 women of normal BMI. Results: New onset hypertension was seen in 41.2% (61/148) and 8.6% (12/140) in the non-obese group RR 4.81 (2.7-8.54) P (<0.001). GH was seen in 24.3% in obese women and 2.9% in normal controls, RR (9.65 (3.54,26.34)), P (<0.001). PE was seen in 16.9% of obese women and 5.7% of women with normal BMI, RR (3.79 (1.78,8.08)) P (<0.001). Proportion of GH in women with new onset hypertension was seen in 59% of obese women with new onset hypertension and 33% of normal controls. Conclusion: This clinically relevant trend towards an increased proportion of GH highlights the importance of identifying pathophysiological mechanism for high BP in obesity when there is new onset hypertension.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: In a large developing country, with diverse population characteristics and differential access to healthcare, it is important to identify factors that influence postnatal health. This knowledge will help frame recommendations to enhance universal postnatal care. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A prospective cohort study will be conducted by recruiting all participants who deliver in a referral centre in South India during a 1-year period after written consent is obtained from them. In addition to clinical information pertaining to their delivery and demographics, details of physical health, mental health socioeconomic status and emotional support will also be collected. Every participant will be followed up physically and/or by telephonic consultation at 3, 9 and 18 months of their postnatal period to reassess their status and that of their babies. As there are several independent and dependent variables requiring multivariate analysis, a sample size of 10 000 is considered adequate. Any unplanned visits to a health facility will be enquired into and documented for analysis.During data analysis, the effect of Caesarean section, high-risk characteristics and gestational age of the baby at delivery on various outcome measures and postnatal status will be evaluated. Interpretation of the large volume of collected data will help frame recommendations to improve postnatal care ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study is approved by the Institutional Review Boards (Research and Ethics Committees) of Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India (IRB 12178 date 24 June 2020).Women are provided with a detailed information sheet and written consent is obtained. They are reassured that their care will not be compromised if they do not consent to the study. Data will be available on the clinical trial portal to assist in the dissemination of results after the project is published. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: CTRI/2022/03/041343.

RESUMO

The diagnosis of Mullerian duct anomaly is crucial because of strong association with infertility, endometriosis and miscarriage. Robert's uterus is a rare variant of septate uterus. Patients present with recurrent abdominal pain and severe dysmenorrhoea. Magnetic resonance imaging is the investigation of choice. In this case series, we present the imaging features of four such cases.
