RESUMO
A 33-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 0, with a history of two previous miscarriages, underwent an investigation for recurrent miscarriage. After genetic counseling, the couple were submitted to the karyotype, which resulted in 45, X/46, XX mosaicism (mosaic Turner syndrome) in the wife result, while the husband chromosomal resulted in 46, XY (normal). After evaluating the options, the couple opted for in vitro fertilization. During prenatal follow-up, placenta and vasa previa were identified, considerably increasing the maternal-fetal mortality rate in this case. However, despite being a delicate and challenging case, the early diagnose was possible due to transvaginal ultrasound using color Doppler. Due to good care in obstetric follow-up, involving a multidisciplinary team, a therapeutic program and a successful outcome were possible. The patient underwent a cesarean section at 35 weeks of pregnancy, without complications, with a newborn in good general condition, despite the prematurity.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: In the context of Cochrane systematic reviews/meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials, risk of bias (RoB) is assessed using categorical indicators (low, unclear, or high RoB). This study sought to evaluate the indicators of the Cochrane RoB tool available for construct validity as applied to randomized clinical trials of psychological treatments for bulimia nervosa and binge eating. METHODS: Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the construct validity of the measurement model underlying the set of five categorical items, and the reliability of these indicators to measure RoB. RESULTS: In 48 primary randomized clinical trials, the model showed good fit indices and factor loadings higher than 0.4. CONCLUSIONS: The results support the construct validity of the Cochrane RoB tool and the reliability of three of five items in this health intervention context.
