Gestational reactive hypoglycaemia and adverse pregnancy outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Reactive hypoglycaemia is a condition where blood glucose drops after a glucose load, and may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to determine the association between gestational reactive hypoglycaemia (GRH) and the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes including those related to diabetes.

Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching 4 databases: Medline, Embase, Web of science, and Maternity & infant care database, from inception to 1 December 2023.

Comparison of first trimester preeclampsia combined screening performances with various approaches in the Indonesian population.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF), Indonesian Maternal and Children Health Handbook (MCH-HB), and Indonesian Prenatal Institute (IPI) models for predicting PE.

Materials/subjects And Methods: Maternal risk factors, biophysical, and biochemical markers were recorded from women screened for PE at 11-14 gestational weeks. The receiving operator curve (ROC) analysis was used to compare the detection rate (DR) among prediction models.

Surfactant Protein-A and its immunomodulatory roles in infant respiratory syncytial virus infection: a potential for therapeutic intervention?

The vast majority of early-life hospital admissions globally highlight respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the leading cause of neonatal lower respiratory tract infections, as the major culprit behind the poor neonatal outcomes following respiratory infections. Unlike those of older children and adults, the immune system of neonates looks rather unique, therefore mostly counting on the innate immune system and antibodies of maternal origins. The collaborations between cells and immune compartments during infancy inclines bias toward a T-helper 2 (Th2) immune profile and thereby away from a T-helper 1 (Th1) immune response.

A prediction model for stillbirth based on first trimester pre-eclampsia combined screening.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of combined models of maternal biophysical factors, ultrasound, and biochemical markers for predicting stillbirths.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of pregnant women undergoing first-trimester pre-eclampsia screening at 11-13 gestational weeks was conducted. Maternal characteristics and history, mean arterial pressure (MAP) measurement, uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) ultrasound, maternal ophthalmic peak ratio Doppler, and placental growth factor (PlGF) serum were collected during the visit.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Maternal Vaccination in Infants below 6 Months of Age: Meta-Analysis of Safety, Immunogenicity, and Efficacy.

Introduction: Severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease is most prevalent during infancy, particularly in those born prematurely, who benefit least from maternal antibody transfers. Maternal immunization is an attractive prevention leading to vaccine clinical trials. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate recent maternal RSV vaccine trials.

Factors affecting elective cesarean section in women with multiple pregnancy in Caruban, Indonesia.

: Caesarean sections have become the most popular method for delivering twin babies because of the safety concerns associated with a natural birth. This study aims to identify the maternal characteristics and obstetric parameters that serve as risk factors influencing caesarean delivery in twin pregnancies by comparing women delivering via caesarean section and vaginal birth. : A retrospective chart review design was used to analyse 47 women with multiple pregnancies from the medical records at a primary referral hospital in East Java, Indonesia.

Determinants of neonatal deaths in Indonesia: A national survey data analysis of 10,838 newborns.

Background: Neonatal mortality is one of the key impediments in achieving global sustainable development goals, especially in lower middle income countries (LMICs). As an LMIC with the highest reported neonatal mortality rate in Southeast Asia, Indonesia faces inequitable distribution of health facilities across the archipelago. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to evaluate the determinants of neonatal mortality rate in Indonesia to search for better strategies to overcome this problem.

Kramer Score, an Evidence of Its Use in Accordance with Indonesian Hyperbilirubinemia Published Guideline.

In some hospitals in low/middle-income countries, methods to determine the bilirubin level in newborn infants are unavailable and based on a clinical evaluation, namely a clinical score designed by Kramer. In this study, we evaluated if this score can be used to identify those infants that need phototherapy. Infants admitted between November 2018 and June 2019 to three hospitals in Surabaya, Indonesia were included.

Associated neonatal and maternal factors of osteopenia of prematurity in low resource setting: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: Determining neonatal and maternal factors that are associated with the incidence of OFP.

Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design, in which the participants were identified for clinical variables (sex, gestational age, birth weight, etc.), neonatal morbidity (sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), etc.

Maternal lipid levels in pregnant women without complications in developing risk of large for gestational age newborns: a study of meta-analysis.

Circulating into foetal circulation across the placental barrier, abnormal maternal serum lipids predispose neonates to metabolic dysfunction and thereafter affect the steroid metabolism and functions of extra-embryonic foetal tissues. A systematic review was conducted by searching PubMed-MEDLINE and the Cochrane library between January 2010 and January 2020. The included studies were English case control studies that described original data on at least one raw lipid measurement during pregnancy in healthy women who delivered large for gestational age (LGA) newborns and in healthy women with non-LGA newborns.
