RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To determine risk factors and to develop a risk prediction score for intrapartum cesarean delivery (CD) in women over 40 years old. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study, in a single university-affiliated tertiary medical center. All women aged 40 years or more who planned a trial of labor between 2012 and 2022. Women who opted for an elective CD and those with non-viable fetuses were excluded. Maternal and neonatal characteristics of women who delivered vaginally were compared to those who underwent an intrapartum CD. Risk factors were examined using univariate and multivariate analysis. A score was developed to predict the need for intrapartum CD. We assessed a receiver operating characteristic curve to evaluate the performance of our model. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: An unplanned intrapartum cesarean section. RESULTS: During the study period, 122,583 women delivered at our center, of whom 6122 (4.9 %) aged 40 years or more attempted a trial of labor. Of them, 428 (7 %) underwent intrapartum CD. Several independent risk factors were identified, including nulliparity, regional anesthesia, induction of labor, use of antibiotics during labor, multiple gestation, previous cesarean delivery, and the presence of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia. A risk score model, employing a cut-off of 7, demonstrated successful prediction of intrapartum CD, with an area under the curve of 0.86. CONCLUSION: The score model for intrapartum CD can be used by caregivers to offer a more informed consultation to women aged 40 years or more deciding on the mode of delivery.

OBJECTIVES: A total of 95% to 99% of patients with invasive cervical cancer (CC) are infected with human papillomavirus (HPV). The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of low-risk HPV (LR-HPV) types among women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2-3) and CC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a nested cohort study of patients diagnosed with CIN 2-3 or CC. Inclusion criteria were diagnosis of CIN 2-3 or CC and HPV-DNA testing from the cervix. RESULTS: During the study period, we collected clinical data on 608 women of whom 402 were with CIN 2-3 and 206 with diagnosis of CC. When examining 14 high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) types, patients with CIN 2-3, 90.3% were found positive to at least one type of HR-HPV, 89.8% from CC patients were found positive to at least one type of HR-HPV. A total of 4.5% of patients with CIN 2-3 and 3.9% of those with CC were positive to only one LR-HPV or to some of a few LR-HPV types. Among 5.2% with CIN 2-3 and 6.3% of those with CC, no HPV types were detected. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of the LR-HPV in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion cervical lesions is low but is expected to increase in the future because of the expected decrease in CC caused by HPV types that are included in the bi-, quadri-, and nanovalent vaccine. The CIN 2-3 and CC patients with LR-HPV types and with negative HPV, challenge HPV screening sensitivity, which is based on a limited number of HR-HPV types.
