Lamellar Bodies Count (LBC) as a Predictor of Fetal Lung Maturity in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes Compared to Neonatal Assessment

Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, affecting approximately 1% of all live births and 10% of all preterm infants. Lamellar bodies represent a storage form of pulmonary surfactant within Type II pneumocytes, secretion of which increases with advancing gestational age, thus enabling prediction of the degree of FLM. Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) complicates approximately 1/3 of all preterm births. Birth within 1 week is the most likely outcome for any patient with PPROM in the absence of adjunctive treatments. Respiratory distress has been reported to be the most common complication of preterm birth. Sepsis, intraventricular haemorrhage, and necrotizing enterocolitis also are associated with prematurity, but these are less common near to term. Objective: To assess the efficacy of the amniotic fluid lamellar body counting from a vaginal pool in predicting fetal lung maturity in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes. Methods: This study was conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital in the emergency ward from January 2019 to September 2019. It included 106 women with singleton pregnancies, gestational age from 28 - 36 weeks with preterm premature rupture of membranes. This study is designed to assess the efficacy of the amniotic fluid lamellar body counting (LBC) from a vaginal pool in predicting fetal lung maturity in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes. Results: The current study revealed a highly significant increase in the lamellar body count in cases giving birth to neonates without RDS compared to that cases giving birth to neonates with RDS. Also, no statistically significant difference between LBC and age, parity and number of previous miscarriages in the mother was found. Gestational age at delivery was significantly lower among cases with respiratory distress. Steroid administration was significantly less frequent among cases with respiratory distress. However, lamellar bodies had high diagnostic performance in the prediction of respiratory distress. Conclusion: Lamellar body count (LBC) is an effective, safe, easy, and cost-effective method to assess fetal lung maturity (FLM). It does not need a highly equipped laboratory or specially trained personnel, it just needs the conventional blood count analyzer. Measurement of LBC is now replacing the conventional Lecithin/Sphyngomyelin L/S ratio. LBC cut-off value of ≤42.5 × 103/μL can be used safely to decide fetal lung maturity with sensitivity of 95.7% and specificity of 97.6%.

Previable Premature Rupture of Membranes in Dichorionic Diamniotic Twin Gestation, Loss of Leading Twin, Emergency Cervical Cerclage and Ceaserean Delivery at Term

Introduction: Multiple pregnancies have a higher risk of premature delivery and a weakened cervix has been associated with it. In most cases, emergency cerclage has proved to be beneficial as the birth of the first twin is usually followed by the unavoidable delivery of the second twin and most fetus dies shortly after delivery. Studies have noted that delayed delivery of the second fetus in a twin pregnancy is an effective management choice and the use of cervical cerclage after the first delivery is associated with a longer inter-delivery interval. We present a case of previable premature rupture of membrane of a dichorionic diamniotic twin gestation leading to the loss of the leading twin and subsequently having emergency cervical cerclage for the second twin and caesarean delivery at term. Case Presentation: She was a case of a 29 years old, G6P1+4 with 1 living child at a gestational age of 17 weeks plus 5 days who initially was diagnosed with dichorionic diamniotic twin gestation following an early ultrasound but presented with a history of bleeding and passage of liquor per vaginam. Ultrasound done on admission showed cervical funneling and a stable state of the second twin. She subsequently had emergency cervical cerclage after stabilization on account of previable premature rupture of membrane of a dichorionic diamniotic twin gestation with the loss of the leading twin. A repeat ultrasound done prior to discharge showed closed cervical os and a good state of the fetus. She then had elective caesarean delivery at term with a good feto-maternal outcome. Conclusion: Emergency cervical cerclage should be part of the options of management after stabilization in cases of previable premature rupture of membrane in a dichorionic or multichoronic gestation so as to save the viable once.

Maternal and fetal outcomes in term premature rupture of membrane

BACKGROUND: Premature rupture of membrane(PROM) is linked to significant maternal prenatal mortalities and morbidity. In Ethiopia, where maternal mortality is still high, the maternal and fetal outcomes in PROM is very important to decrease maternal and child mortality and for better management and prevention of complications. Thus, this study aimed to detect the maternal and fetal outcomes and associated factors in term PROM at Mizan-Aman General Hospital, south-west Ethiopia.METHODS: A retrospective cross sectional study was conducted using data available at MizanAman General Hospital during a period of 3 years(January 2011 to December 2013). We examined records of 4 525 women who gave birth in the hospital; out of these women, 185 were diagnosed with term PROM and all of them were included in the study. The data of these women were collected using a checklist based on registration books. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 statistical package. The association between independent and dependent variables was assessed by bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses. 95%CI and P value less than 0.05 were considered statistically signifi cant.RESULTS: Of the 4 525 women who gave birth in the hospital, 202 were complicated by term PROM. About 22.2% of the women showed unfavorable maternal outcomes. The most common cause of maternal morbidity and mortality was puerperal sepsis. About 33.5% of neonates experienced unfavorable outcomes. The duration of PROM >12 hours(AOR=5.6, 95%CI 1.3–24.1) latency >24 hours(AOR=2.8, 95%CI 1.7–11.8), residing in rural areas(AOR=4.2, 95%CI 3.96–29.4) and birth weight less than 2 500 g were associated with unfavorable outcomes.CONCLUSION: Women residing in rural areas, long latency, and neonates with birth weight less 2 500 g may have unfavorable outcomes. Therefore, optimum obstetric and medical care is essential for the reduction of the devastating complications related to disorders.

The Study of Vaginal Fluid Urea, Creatinine, B-HCG and Placental Alpha-1 Microglobulin in Diagnosis of Premature Rupture of Membranes

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the reliability, accuracy and the cost benefit ratio of vaginal washing fluid urea, creatinine, Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-HCG) and placental alpha Microglobulin-1 (PAMG-1) for diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Material and Methods: A diagnostic study conducted on 70 patients. The patients were divided into three groups: Group A (n = 25): (Confirmed PROM group) patients who were either in labor or not in labor, Gestational age was from 24 weeks onwards and fulfilled the following criteria and/or two of these criteria with low AFI positive pooling, positive nitrazine paper test, positive fern test. Group B (n = 25): (Suspected PROM group) patients who fulfilled the following criteria: Patients with fluid leakage complaint with negative pooling and/or negative nitrazine paper test and/or negative fern test. Group C (n = 25): (Control group with no PROM) patients that were admitted to prenatal clinic for their regular prenatal control visit with 24 - 42 weeks of gestational age without any complaint or complication and with negative pooling, negative nitrazine paper test and/or negative fern test. The vaginal washing fluid urea, creatinine, Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-HCG) and placental alpha Microglobulin-1 (PAMG-1) were determined for diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Results: PAMG-1 detection in cervico vaginal discharge was a very good test for diagnosis of PROM with high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy and P-value (96%, 100%, 100%, 95.84%, 97.78% and <0.0001 respectively). Urea and Creatinine is the second option in diagnosis of PROM with high sensitivity, and specificity after PAMG-1 with a privilege of low cost than PAMG-1. Furthermore they were more accurate than β-HCG. Conclusion: Detection of PAMG-1 in cervico vaginal discharge is promising in diagnosis of PROM & especially in those cases of suspected PROM and it should be done as a worse trial in every case of suspected PROM. Urea and Creatinine is the second option in diagnosis of PROM with high sensitivity, and specificity after PAMG-1 with a privilege of low cost than PAMG-1. Also they were more accurate than β-HCG and they can be used if PAMG-1 is not available for detection of doubtful PROM cases.

Support Epidemiology and Prognosis of Premature Rupture of Membranes in Pikine National Hospital Center

Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) complicates 3% of preterm pregnancies and occurs in 60% to 80% of term pregnancies. However, its management remains largely controversial. The objective of this study was to establish the epidemiological profile, to study the management and the prognosis of Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) in our practice. Patients and methods: It was a prospective, descriptive and analytical study from May 1st 2016 to January 31st 2017 at the Pikine National Hospital Center. The target population consisted of all patients received at the hospital with premature rupture of membranes and who had given birth in the structure. The variables studied were: marital status, mode and reason for admission;risk factors;antecedents;prenatal care;the clinical and paraclinical examinations;support and immediate maternal and fetal neonatal complications. Results and comments: The mean maternal age was 27.34 years and the majority of women were aged between 18 and 39 years (94.4%). Fifty-one point three percent of patients were primiparous, large multiparous represented only 2.5%. The majority of patients (385 patients or 66.9%) had consulted in the first 12 hours following the onset of fluid flow. For 20.1% of them this flow was associated with uterine contractions. Hidden risk factors were dominated by the twin pregnancy. The blood count showed that 38.8% of patients had leukocytosis and CRP was positive in 18.3% of patients. An ampicillin-based antibiotics was established in 42.6% of cases, corticosteroid therapy in 5.2% and 1% in tocolysis. An expectation was adopted in 65.7% of cases, induction of labor in 7.3% and a cesarean section immediately in 27% of cases. In total, 65.7% of patients had vaginal delivery and 34.3% cesarean. The perinatal mortality rate was 3.6% or 22 newborns on 610. Two cases of endometritis were observed and one case of immediate postpartum hemorrhage. No maternal deaths were recorded. Conclusion: These results show that the prognosis of premature rupture of membranes remains favorable in our practice. To improve this prognosis, we recommend sensitization of patients during prenatal care regarding signs of danger, a systematic bacteriological sample from all pregnant at the end of their pregnancy and the health personnel to direct patients’ references to structures in case of PROM.

Premature Rupture of Membrane and Neonatal Infection

Premature rupture of membrane (PROM) is obstetric dilemma that carries risk of neonatal and maternal complications. PROM has controversy in management although many factors affect the outcome of PROM.

Expectant Management of Preterm Ruptured Membranes before 34 Gestational Weeks at the University Hospital of Kinshasa, a Tertiary Referral Hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) with the resulting prematurity remains a major public health issue in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This study aimed to assess expectant management of PPROM before 34 weeks at the university hospital of Kinshasa. We conducted a retrospective analysis of expectantly managed PROM before 34 weeks between January 2008 and December 2018. Maternal and fetal outcomes were collected, and all data were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 software. Of the 113 patients included in the study, 2.6% were diagnosed with PROM before 34 weeks. We observed prolongation of the pregnancy duration;the median latency period was eight days, and the average gestational age at delivery of 32.85 ± 2.5 weeks. Chorioamnionitis (23%), severe oligoamnios (7%), and acute fetal distress (4%) were complications observed during the latency period. In the postpartum period, endometritis (6.2%), neonatal jaundice (39.8%), anemia (25.7%), ulcerative necrotizing enterocolitis (6.2%), cerebromeningeal hemorrhage (5.3%), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (4.4%) were complications observed. The risk of infection during the latency period was significantly associated with irregular (P = 0.045) or lack (P = 0.006) antenatal care (ANC) attendances and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) results 6 (P = 0.013). The risk of neonatal death was significantly associated to infection during the latency period (P = 0.011), irregular (P = 0.009) or lack of ANC (P = 0.000) attendances, Birth weight g (P = 0.039) as well as Gestational age at birth between 28 to 30 Weeks (S) (P = 0.021). These findings report first-time pregnancy outcomes related to the management of PPROM before 34 weeks in our setting. We found that the conservative attitude adopted allowed the prolongation of pregnancies, reducing the risks associated with prematurity. Nevertheless, attendance in good quality ANC could reduce the frequency of PROM and related adverse outcomes.

Changes of cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in patients with premature rupture of chorioamnion and its clinical significance

Objective: To investigate changes of cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in patients with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) with chorioamnionitis (HCA) and its clinical significance. Methods: A total of 80 pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes were selected as PROM group and 80 normal pregnant women as control group. The PROM group was subgrouped into HCA group (n=45) and non HCA group (n=35) according to the presence or absence of HCA. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-8, MMP-9) and cytokines (IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α) in pregnant women were compared. Results: The level of IL-8, TNF-αwere (420.45±110.26) ng/L, (413.53±125.19) ng/L in the PROM group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group;the levels of IL-10 were(332.07±48.12) ng/L in the PROM groups, which were significantly lower than the control group. The levels of IL-8 and TNF-α in PROM combined with HCA group were significantly higher than those in non-HCA group, the levels of IL-10 were significantly lower than those in non-HCA group. The level of MMP-8, MMP-9 were (11.02±2.48) ng/mL, (648.42±73.35) ng/L in the PROM group, which were significantly higher than the control group. The levels of MMP-8, MMP-9 in PROM combined with HCA were significantly higher than those in non-HCA group with the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: When premature rupture of membranes and chorioamniositis occurring, pregnant women were accompanied by the level changes of cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases, so timely monitoring of these indicators can offer basis for the early diagnosis the premature rupture of membranes and chorioamnionitis, which will help to reduce morbidity and mortality of the perinatal pregnant women and newborns with important clinical value.

未足月胎膜早破发病机制的研究进展

未足月胎膜早破(PPROM)在产科中是一种出现频率较高且风险较大较难处理的产科并发症,是导致胎儿早产的主要原因之一,若不能及时给予针对性的处理,会严重威胁母儿生命。在现有研究中,PPROM与许多因素有关,如生殖道感染、母胎因素、不良生活习惯及遗传相关疾病等,之间相互作用和影响,最终导致胎膜降解和破裂。未足月胎膜早破的有着复杂的发病机制,本文通过综述PPROM发病机制的研究进展,讨论导致胎膜弱化的危险因素以及机制,为降低PPROM发生率提供线索和方法。

倍他米松联合硫酸镁治疗未足月胎膜早破的疗效观察

目的:探讨未足月胎膜早破的有效治疗方案。方法:选取我院收治的120例未足月胎膜早破孕妇[入院孕周28~34(33.47±3.19)周],按治疗方案分为对照组和研究组各60例。对照组给予倍他米松治疗(肌肉注射12 mg),研究组给予倍他米松联合硫酸镁治疗,2 d后评估各项指标。比较两组孕妇炎症因子(IL-2、TNF-α)水平、持续治疗时间、孕周延长时间、宫缩抑制时间、产后出血量、焦虑情况、分娩结局[Apgar评分、新生儿出生体质量、产褥感染发生率及新生儿呼吸窘迫综合征(NRDS)发生率]、新生儿肺功能及不良反应发生率。结果:治疗后两组孕妇血清IL-2、TNF-α水平均降低,且研究组均低于对照组(P均<0.01);研究组持续治疗时间、宫缩抑制时间均短于对照组,孕周延长时间长于对照组(P均<0.05);研究组Apgar评分、新生儿出生体质量均高于对照组,NRDS、出生窒息发生率均低于对照组(P均<0.05);研究组新生儿出生第1天、第7天气道阻力低于对照组,功能残气量和肺顺应性高于对照组(P均<0.01)。结论:倍他米松联合硫酸镁治疗未足月胎膜早破,可有效降低炎症反应及NRDS发生率,缩短治疗时间,改善分娩结局及肺功能,且不增加不良反应发生率。
