RESUMEN

The female lower reproductive tract microbiota is a complex ecosystem comprising various microorganisms that play a pivotal role in maintaining women's reproductive well-being. During pregnancy, the vaginal microbiota undergoes dynamic changes that are important for a successful gestation. This review summarizes the implications of the cervical mucus plug microenvironment and its profound impact on reproductive health. Further, the symbiotic relationship between the vaginal microbiome and the cervical mucus plug is highlighted, with a special emphasis on how this natural barrier serves as a guardian against ascending infections. Understanding this complex host-microbes interplay could pave the way for innovative approaches to improve women's reproductive health and fertility.

RESUMEN

Background and Objectives: Pre-term premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) responds for one third of preterm births, and it is associated with other complications that increase the risk of maternal or fetal poor outcome. To reduce uncertainty and provide accurate information to patients, the analysis of the large series is of great importance. In order to learn about the evolution over the time of the obstetric and perinatal outcomes in cases of PPROM at, or before, 28 weeks (very early PPROM) managed with an expectant/conservative protocol, we have designed the present study. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied all cases of very early PPROM attended in Malaga University Regional Hospital from 2000 to 2020. Results: Among 119,888 deliveries assisted, 592 cases of PPROM occurred in pregnancies at or before 28 weeks (0.49% of all deliveries, 3.9% of all preterm births and 12.9% of all cases of PPROM). The mean duration of the latency period between PPROM and delivery was 13.5 days (range 0 to 88 days), enlarging over the years. The mean gestational age at delivery was 27 weeks (SD 2.9; range 17-34). The proportion of cesarean deliveries was 52.5%. The overall perinatal mortality rate was 26.5%, decreasing over the period with a significant correlation Pearson's coefficient -0.128 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: In the period 2000-2020, there was an improvement in the outcomes of very early PPROM cases and perinatal mortality showed a clear trend to decrease.

RESUMEN

Background and Objectives: Prematurity is currently a serious public health issue worldwide, because of its high associated morbidity and mortality. Optimizing the management of these pregnancies is of high priority to improve perinatal outcomes. One tool frequently used to determine the degree of fetal wellbeing is cardiotocography (CTG). A review of the available literature on fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring in preterm fetuses shows that studies are scarce, and the evidence thus far is unclear. The lack of reference standards for CTG patterns in preterm fetuses can lead to misinterpretation of the changes observed in electronic fetal monitoring (EFM). The aims of this narrative review were to summarize the most relevant concepts in the field of CTG interpretation in preterm fetuses, and to provide a practical approach that can be useful in clinical practice. Materials and Methods: A MEDLINE search was carried out, and the published articles thus identified were reviewed. Results: Compared to term fetuses, preterm fetuses have a slightly higher baseline FHR. Heart rate is faster in more immature fetuses, and variability is lower and increases in more mature fetuses. Transitory, low-amplitude decelerations are more frequent during the second trimester. Transitory increases in FHR are less frequent and become more frequent and increase in amplitude as gestational age increases. Conclusions: The main characteristics of FHR tracings changes as gestation proceeds, and it is of fundamental importance to be aware of these changes in order to correctly interpret CTG patterns in preterm fetuses.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To determine whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19 disease) exposure in pregnancy, compared to non-exposure, is associated with infection-related obstetric morbidity. METHODS: We conducted a multicentre prospective study in pregnancy based on a universal antenatal screening program for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Throughout Spain 45 hospitals tested all women at admission on delivery ward using polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) for COVID-19 since late March 2020. The cohort of positive mothers and the concurrent sample of negative mothers was followed up until 6-weeks post-partum. Multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusting for known confounding variables, determined the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of the association of SARS-CoV-2 infection and obstetric outcomes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preterm delivery (primary), premature rupture of membranes and neonatal intensive care unit admissions. RESULTS: Among 1009 screened pregnancies, 246 were SARS-CoV-2 positive. Compared to negative mothers (763 cases), SARS-CoV-2 infection increased the odds of preterm birth (34 vs 51, 13.8% vs 6.7%, aOR 2.12, 95% CI 1.32-3.36, p = 0.002); iatrogenic preterm delivery was more frequent in infected women (4.9% vs 1.3%, p = 0.001), while the occurrence of spontaneous preterm deliveries was statistically similar (6.1% vs 4.7%). An increased risk of premature rupture of membranes at term (39 vs 75, 15.8% vs 9.8%, aOR 1.70, 95% CI 1.11-2.57, p = 0.013) and neonatal intensive care unit admissions (23 vs 18, 9.3% vs 2.4%, aOR 4.62, 95% CI 2.43-8.94, p <  0.001) was also observed in positive mothers. CONCLUSION: This prospective multicentre study demonstrated that pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 have more infection-related obstetric morbidity. This hypothesis merits evaluation of a causal association in further research.

RESUMEN

Around two percent of asymptomatic women in labor test positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Spain. Families and care providers face childbirth with uncertainty. We determined if SARS-CoV-2 infection at delivery among asymptomatic mothers had different obstetric outcomes compared to negative patients. This was a multicenter prospective study based on universal antenatal screening for SARS-CoV-2 infection. A total of 42 hospitals tested women admitted for delivery using polymerase chain reaction, from March to May 2020. We included positive mothers and a sample of negative mothers asymptomatic throughout the antenatal period, with 6-week postpartum follow-up. Association between SARS-CoV-2 and obstetric outcomes was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analyses. In total, 174 asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnancies were compared with 430 asymptomatic negative pregnancies. No differences were observed between both groups in key maternal and neonatal outcomes at delivery and follow-up, with the exception of prelabor rupture of membranes at term (adjusted odds ratio 1.88, 95% confidence interval 1.13-3.11; p = 0.015). Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive mothers have higher odds of prelabor rupture of membranes at term, without an increase in perinatal complications, compared to negative mothers. Pregnant women testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 at admission for delivery should be reassured by their healthcare workers in the absence of symptoms.

RESUMEN

Alloscardovia omnicolens is a recently-reported microorganism with unknown pathogenic implications. It has been isolated in various clinical localizations but not in the endocervix. We isolated A. omnicolens in an endocervical sample from a 31-yr-old patient with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) in week 33+3 of pregnancy. The main risk of PPROM is prematurity and the possibility of developing infectious chorioamnionitis, which can be lethal for the mother and newborn. This is the first report of an association between A. omnicolens and PPROM, although its pathogenic role has not yet been elucidated.

RESUMEN

Streptococcus agalactiae, estreptococo del grupo B (EGB), es la mayor causa de morbi-mortalidad entre los neonatos y un patógeno importante entre los pacientes adultos inmunodeprimidos. A pesar de los avances en la prevención y tratamiento de la infección neonatal, fruto de la implantación de las recomendaciones nacionales e internacionales que en las últimas dos décadas se han desarrollado para ello, aún quedan pendientes mejoras para el control definitivo de la enfermedad. En este sentido, la vacunación frente a EGB podría ser una medida eficaz para la prevención de la infección en aquellos casos donde la profilaxis intraparto no es útil y en pacientes adultos con factores de riesgo de desarrollar infección invasiva por EGB. Esta revisión resume los esfuerzos llevados a cabo para controlar esta infección y aporta información sobre el estado actual de las vacunas frente a EGB empleando diferentes estrategias en su diseño (AU)


Streptococcus agalactiae, group B Streptococcus (SGB), is the most important cause of morbi-mortality among newborn population, and an important pathogen among immunossupressed adult patients. Despite the advances in the treatment and prevention of neonatal infections as a consequence of implementation of national and international recommendations for prevention of infection, there are still some improvements for the final control of the disease. In this sense, the vaccination against SGB could be an effective measure for the prevention of disease in those cases where intrapartum prophylaxis is not useful and in adult patients with risk factors for invasive infection due to SGB. This review summarizes the efforts made until now in order to establish the control of the infection, and brings some information on the current state-of-the art of vaccines against SGB, in which different strategies in their design have been used (AU)

RESUMEN

Objetivo: la Sociedad Española de Obstetricia y Ginecología establece como uno de sus objetivos el conocer la tasa de mortalidad materna en España durante el periodo 2010-2012 y sus principales causas. Sujetos y Método: con este fin, la Sociedad Española de Obstetricia y Ginecología constituye un grupo de trabajo que elabora una encuesta que se remite a los 191 jefes de servicio de hospitales públicos y privados españoles. El análisis de los datos se llevó a cabo de forma confidencial, al igual que los nombres de los centros de los que procedían. Se llevó a cabo un procedimiento confidencial de los datos y su procedencia. Se cruzaron. Se analizan las causas obstétricas directas e indirectas de los datos con los publicados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Resultados: respondieron 45 hospitales (23,56%). La encuesta representa el 18,9% de los recién nacidos en España en ese periodo. La tasa de mortalidad materna fue de 6,00/100.000 nacidos. Se consideró una subestimación del 48% de los datos registrados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Las causas obstétricas directas representaron el 37,5%, siendo la hemorragia postparto la más importante. La causa obstétrica indirecta representó el 56,25%. El porcentaje de autopsias fue de 31%. Conclusiones: la tasa de mortalidad materna fue de 6/100.000 nacidos. El porcentaje de subestimación en las cifras oficiales se cifra en 48%. La causa obstétrica directa representó el 37,5%, siendo la hemorragia postparto las más frecuente. Se proponen medidas para mejorar esta información en nuestro país (AU)


Objectives: One of the aims of the Spanish Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology is to determine the rate of maternal mortality and its main causes for the period 2010-2012. Subjects and methods: To do this, the Spanish Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology formed a working group to draft a survey sent to 191 heads of obstetrics and gynaecology services in public and private hospitals. Analysis of the data and their origin was confidential. The data were crossed with those published by the Spanish National Statistics Institute. Direct and indirect obstetric causes were analysed. Results: Forty-five hospitals responded (23.56%). The survey represented 18.9% of newborns in Spain in that period. The maternal mortality ratio was 6/100.000 births. An underestimation of 48% was observed in relation to the data from the Spanish National Statistics Institute. Direct obstetric causes accounted for 37.5% of deaths, the most important being postpartum haemorrhage. Indirect obstetric causes accounted for 56.25%. The percentage of autopsies was 31%. Conclusions: The maternal mortality ratio was 6/100.000 births. The percentage of underestimation regarding official figures was 48%. Direct obstetric causes accounted for 37.5% of deaths, the most important cause being postpartum haemorrhage. Measures to improve this information in Spain are proposed (AU)

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To analyze perinatal outcomes in singleton pregnancies with a single umbilical artery (SUA) as an isolated finding with no other underlying disorders. METHODS: This retrospective observational study compared a group of pregnancies with SUA (n = 127) and a group with a normal 3-vessel umbilical cord (n = 27 752). The study variables comprised maternal and obstetric characteristics and perinatal outcomes. RESULTS: The frequency of SUA was 0.45%. Pregnancies with SUA ended more frequently with cesarean delivery, and had a higher risk that the indication for cesarean delivery was non-reassuring fetal heart rate (NRFHR). Neonates in the SUA group had a lower weight for gestational age, and a higher risk of low umbilical cord blood pH. CONCLUSION: Obstetricians should monitor fetal growth closely in pregnancies with SUA, and be alert to NRFHR during labor and delivery.

RESUMEN

AIMS: To compare the outcomes of term gestations with oligohydramnios in the absence of other underlying disorders and term gestations with normal amniotic fluid. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of obstetric outcomes in 27,708 term pregnancies. We compared three groups: labor induced because of oligohydramnios, spontaneous onset of labor with normal amniotic fluid, and labor induced because of late term pregnancy with normal amniotic fluid. We excluded pregnancies with maternal or fetal diseases or disorders potentially related with amniotic fluid alterations. The main outcome measures were mode of delivery, neonatal birth weight, umbilical artery blood pH, Apgar scores and neonatal discharge status. RESULTS: Compared to spontaneous labor, induction of labor because of oligohydramnios was associated with a higher risk of cesarean delivery and small size of the fetus for gestational age (SGA). Compared to induction because of late term pregnancy there were no significant differences in neonatal, although neonates had a higher risk of being SGA. CONCLUSION: The only perinatal outcome for which the risk was higher in term pregnancies with isolated oligohydramnios was SGA. The systematic induction of labor in these pregnancies should be questioned.

RESUMEN

La infección por Streptococcus agalactiae, estreptococo grupo B (EGB), continúa siendo la causa más frecuente de sepsis neonatal de etiología bacteriana. En 2003, las Sociedades Españolas de Ginecología y Obstetricia, Neonatología, Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica, Quimioterapia y Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria publicaron recomendaciones actualizadas para la prevención de la infección neonatal precoz por EGB. En ellas se recomendaba la identificación de gestantes portadoras de EGB mediante cultivo de muestra de exudado vaginorrectal realizado en las 35-37 semanas de gestación y la administración de profilaxis antibiótica intraparto (PAI) a todas las gestantes colonizadas. En estas nuevas recomendaciones se actualizan los métodos microbiológicos para realizar la identificación de portadoras de EGB y la técnica de sensibilidad a antibióticos; se revisan los antibióticos de primera línea que pueden usarse para PAI (penicilina, ampicilina, cefazolina) y sus alternativas (clindamicina y vancomicina); se clarifica el significado de la presencia de EGB en orina, incluyendo criterios para el diagnóstico de infección urinaria y bacteriuria asintomática por EGB en la embarazada; se define el uso de PAI en la amenaza de parto prematuro y rotura prematura de membranas, y se revisa el manejo del recién nacido en relación con el estado de portadora de EGB de la madre. Estas recomendaciones solo son válidas para la prevención de la infección neonatal precoz por EGB, y no son efectivas frente a la infección neonatal tardía. Tras la aplicación generalizada de la PAI, la incidencia de la sepsis neonatal precoz por EGB ha disminuido (..) (AU)


Group B streptococci (GBS) remain the most common cause of early onset neonatal sepsis. In 2003 the Spanish Societies of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Neonatology, Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, Chemotherapy, and Family and Community Medicine published updated recommendations for the prevention of early onset neonatal GBS infection. It was recommended to study all pregnant women at 35-37 weeks gestation to determine whether they were colonised by GBS, and to administer intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) to all colonised women. There has been a significant reduction in neonatal GBS infection in Spain following the widespread application of IAP. Today most cases of early onset GBS neonatal infection are due to false negative results in detecting GBS, to the lack of communication between laboratories and obstetric units, and to failures in implementing the prevention protocol. In 2010, new recommendations were published by the CDC, and this fact, together with the new knowledge and experience available, has led to the publishing of these new recommendations. The main changes in these revised recommendations include: microbiological methods to identify pregnant GBS carriers and for testing GBS antibiotic sensitivity, and the antibiotics used for IAP are updated; The significance of the presence of GBS in urine, including (..)

RESUMEN

La tasa de parto vaginal instrumental está disminuyendo en todos los países desarrollados a costa de un aumento generalizado de la tasa de cesáreas. El parto operatorio vaginal fallido es una situación indeseada por los obstetras, que puede conllevar en algunas ocasiones un aumento de la morbilidad materno-fetal y en casos extremos un aumento de la mortalidad fetal. Estos riesgos pueden minimizarse o evitarse mediante una evaluación individualizada de cada gestante, feto y situación clínica, aplicando los protocolos recomendados por las sociedades científicas para la realización de un parto instrumental y abandonando la vía vaginal en el momento adecuado, sin prolongar el número de intentos o sin aumentar la intensidad de la tracción realizada. La experiencia en parto operatorio vaginal es imprescindible, debiéndose abandonar dicho procedimiento ante la inseguridad del obstetra (AU)


Globally, the rate of instrumental vaginal delivery is declining in all developed countries at the expense of a general increase in the rate of cesarean sections. Failed operative vaginal delivery is an undesirable situation for all obstetricians and can sometimes lead to increased maternal and fetal morbidity and, in extreme cases, to fetal mortality. These risks can be minimized or avoided through individualized assessment of each patient, fetus, and clinical situation by using the protocols recommended by scientific societies to perform instrumental delivery and abandoning the vaginal route at the appropriate moment without extending the number of attempts or increasing the intensity of the traction performed. Experience of vaginal surgery is essential, and the procedure should be abandoned whenever the obstetrician feels uncertain (AU)

RESUMEN

Como consecuencia aplicación de la profilaxis antibiótica intraparto ha ocurrido una importante reducción de la infección neonatal por estreptococo grupo B en nuestro país. En 2010 se han publicado nuevas recomendaciones por los CDC y este hecho, junto con los nuevos conocimientos disponibles, ha llevado a las sociedades participantes a publicar estas nuevas recomendaciones. En ellas se mantiene el criterio de administrar profilaxis intraparto a todas las embarazadas colonizadas por EGB, se actualizan las técnicas de diagnostico de portadoras y se clarifica la actuación frente al parto prematuro y a los recién nacidos a riesgo de infectarse(AU)

RESUMEN

Objetivo. Evaluar la eficacia de la pulsioximetría y el electrocardiograma fetal en la conducción del parto con registro de frecuencia cardíaca fetal compatible con riesgo de pérdida del bienestar fetal (RPBF).Sujetos y métodosSe trataba de un estudio experimental aleatorizado abierto con dos brazos; en uno se aplicó la técnica de la pulsioximetría y en el otro la técnica STAN®. En cada grupo se incluyó a 40 gestantes con feto único, gestación a término, en presentación cefálica y registro cardiotocográfico (RCTG) compatible con RPBF. Se analizaron las variables: tasa total de cesáreas, indicaciones basadas en el RPBF y las repercusiones en el equilibrio ácido-base neonatal.ResultadosNo se han obtenido diferencias significativas en cuanto a la tasa de cesáreas (el 47,5 frente al 40%; p=0,33) ni a la indicación por RPBF (el 32,5 frente al 37,5%; p=0,41). Tampoco en los resultados neonatales.ConclusionesLa utilización de la pulsioximetría y STAN(R)21, como métodos auxiliares del RCTG; no han demostrado ser superiores en lo que se refiere a descenso de la tasa de cesáreas o mejoría del bienestar fetal (AU)

To evaluate the effectiveness of pulse oximetry and fetal electrocardiogram in the management of labor with fetal heart rate patterns associated with a risk of loss of fetal well-being.Subjects and methodsWe performed an open, randomized, experimental trial with two groups: pulse oximetry was used in one group and the STAN® technique was used in the other. Each group included 40 women with single, term pregnancies in cephalic presentation and fetal heart rate patterns associated with a risk of loss of fetal well-being. The overall cesarean section rate, indications of risk of fetal distress, and neonatal acid-base balance were evaluated.ResultsNo significant differences were found in the rate of cesarean section (47.5 vs 40%; P=.33), indications of risk of fetal distress (32.5 vs 37.5%; P=.41), or neonatal outcomes.ConclusionsThe use of pulse oximetry and STAN(R)21, as auxiliary methods to cardiotocographic recording, showed no superiority in reducing the cesarean section rate or improving neonatal outcomes (AU)
