Study design: This was a nested case-control study of 116 controls, 27 women with preeclampsia with predelivery hyperuricemia, 37 women with preeclampsia without predelivery hyperuricemia, and 35 women with gestational hypertension with hyperuricemia at delivery but without proteinuria. Serum uric acid and creatinine was measured across pregnancy. Results: Women with predelivery hyperuricemia,with andwithout preeclampsia, had increased uric acid concentrations across pregnancy compared with controls, after 25 weeks’gestation compared with women with preeclampsia without predelivery hyperuricemia. Adjusting for differences in glomerular filtration by serum creatinine accounted for part but not all of the increase in serum uric acid among women with preeclampsia and predelivery hyperuricemia. Conclusions: Among women with hyperuricemia at delivery, elevations in uric acid occur early. Multiple mechanisms may contribute to increased uric acid including changes in renal function.展开更多

We assessed whether outpatient is as effective as inpatient treatment in relevant age, race, and clinical subgroups of women with PID. Methods: Women with clinical signs and symptoms of mildtomoderate pelvic inflammatory disease (n = 831) were randomized into a multicenter trial of inpatient treatment, initially employing intravenous cefoxitin and doxycycline compared with outpatient treatment consisting of a single intramuscular injection of cefoxitin and oral doxycycline. Comparisons between treatment groups during a mean of 84 months of followup were made for pregnancies, live births, time to pregnancy, infertility, PID recurrence, chronic pelvic pain, and ectopic pregnancy. Results: Outpatient treatment assignment did not adversely impact the proportion of women having one or more pregnancies, live births, or ectopic pregnancies during followup; time to pregnancy; infertility; PID recurrence; or chronic pelvic pain among women of various races; with or without previous PID; with or without baseline Neisseria gonorrhoeae and/or Chlamydia trachomatis infection; and with or without high temperature/white blood cell count/pelvic tenderness score. This was true even in teenagers and women without a previous live birth. Ectopic pregnancies were more common in the outpatient than the inpatient treatment group, but because these were so rare, the difference did not reach statistical significance (5 versus 1, odds ratio 4.91, 95%confidence interval 0.57-42.25). Conclusion: Among all women and subgroups of women with mildtomoderate PID, there were no differences in reproductive outcomes after randomization to inpatient or outpatient treatment.展开更多
