RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in women have unique risk factors related to hormonal status and obstetric history that must be taken into account. Pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia (PE), can reveal a subclinical predisposition for the development of future disease that may help identify women who could benefit from early CVD and CKD prevention strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Review of PE and its association with future development of CVD and CKD. RESULTS: Multiple studies have established an association between PE and the development of ischemic heart disease, chronic hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, stroke and CKD. It has not been sufficiently clarified if this relation is a causal one or if it is mediated by common risk factors. Nevertheless, the presence of endothelial dysfunction and thrombotic microangiopathy during pregnancies complicated with PE makes us believe that PE may leave a long-term imprint. Early identification of women who have had a pregnancy complicated by PE becomes a window of opportunity to improve women's health through adequate follow-up and targeted preventive actions. Oxidative stress biomarkers and vascular ultrasound may play a key role in the early detection of this arterial damage. CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of preventive multidisciplinary targeted strategies can help slow down CVD and CKD's natural history in women at risk through lifestyle modifications and adequate blood pressure control. Therefore, we propose a series of recommendations to guide the prediction and prevention of CVD and CKD throughout life of women with a history of PE.

RESUMO

Antecedentes: La enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV) y renal en la mujer presentan factores de riesgo propios relacionados con el estatus hormonal y los antecedentes obstétricos que deben tenerse en cuenta. Las complicaciones del embarazo, como la preeclampsia (PE), pueden revelar predisposiciones subclínicas a padecer enfermedades futuras que ayuden a identificar a aquellas mujeres que puedan beneficiarse de nuevas oportunidades para la prevención de la ECV y la enfermedad renal crónica. Materiales y métodos: Revisión sobre la PE y su asociación con el desarrollo de ECV y renal futuras. Resultados: Múltiples estudios han establecido una asociación entre PE y el desarrollo de cardiopatía isquémica, hipertensión crónica, enfermedad vascular periférica, accidente cerebrovascular y enfermedad renal. No se ha aclarado suficientemente si esta relación es de causalidad o está mediada por la presencia de factores de riesgo comunes. Sin embargo, la demostración de fenómenos de disfunción endotelial y microangiopatía trombótica en los embarazos que cursan con PE hace suponer que esta puede dejar una impronta a largo plazo. La identificación precoz de las mujeres que han padecido un embarazo complicado con PE es una ventana de oportunidad para mejorar la salud de la mujer, mediante su seguimiento y la adopción de medidas preventivas adecuadas. Los marcadores bioquímicos de daño oxidativo y la ecografía vascular pueden desempeñar un papel clave en la identificación precoz de este daño arterial. Conclusiones: La implantación de estrategias preventivas multidisciplinares y específicas puede ayudar a frenar la historia natural de la ECV y renal en las mujeres de riesgo, a través de la modificación de su estilo de vida y del adecuado control de la tensión arterial. Para ello, proponemos una serie de recomendaciones para guiar el estudio de la predicción y prevención de la ECV tras la PE a lo largo de la vida de la mujer. (AU)

RESUMO

To assess prospectively the capability of our previously reported global multiparameter scoring system to predict coarctation of the aorta (CoAo) in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry, we applied and analyzed the performance of our scoring system in predicting postnatal CoAo in fetuses undergoing prenatal echocardiographic assessment because of cardiac asymmetry between 2011 and 2021, and we determined the cut-off points of the score with the best balance between specificity and sensitivity, and of maximum sensitivity and specificity. CoAo was confirmed in 39/179 newborns (21.8%). We found a significantly higher probability of CoAo in fetuses with CoAo than in cases without CoAo (84.2 ± 18.2% vs. 26.0 ± 28.6%, p < 0.001). The AUC of the ROC of the score was 0.93 (95% CI 0.89-0.97). The cut-off value with the best balance between specificity and sensitivity was a predicted risk of ≥53% (sensitivity 92.3% and specificity 80.0%). The cut-off point of maximum sensitivity was ≥35% (sensitivity 100% and specificity 72.9%), and that of maximum specificity was ≥96% (sensitivity 43.6% and specificity 96.4%). In none of the fetuses with a probability of CoAo < 35% was this condition confirmed after birth. This occurred in 102 fetuses in the whole study population (57%) and in 84 of the 111 in whom CoAo was suspected beyond 28 weeks (75.7%). This multiparameter score allows an adequate discrimination between fetuses without CoAo and those with CoAo, reducing the false positive diagnoses in cardiac asymmetry.

RESUMO

Pre-eclampsia belongs to a group of obstetric complications that are closely related through placental insufficiency, which also includes intrauterine growth restriction and placental abruption. Timely and accurate detection and treatment of pre-eclampsia is usually difficult, since diagnostic criteria are still based on nonspecific signs and symptoms and there is no clear association between the usual criteria for severity and unfavorable outcomes for mother and fetus. The discovery of the role of angiogenic factors (sFlt-1 y PlGF) in the pathophysiology of placental insufficiency is a key step toward improving early diagnosis and establishing a prognosis in cases occurring before week 34 of pregnancy. At present, ≤ 38 is widely accepted to be threshold value of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio that rules out suspected pre-eclampsia. The use of the ratio is considered cost-effective. However, current data on the treatment and prognosis of women with an abnormally high sFlt1/PlGF ratio are more limited. The present article summarizes current knowledge on the clinical application of the sFlt-1/PlGF for the diagnosis and prognosis of pre-eclampsia and highlights those areas that should be addressed with respect to biomarkers, for example, their role as targets in the development and follow-up of new treatments


La preeclampsia pertenece a un grupo de complicaciones obstétricas estrechamente relacionadas entre ellas por la existencia de una insuficiencia placentaria, que incluye también la restricción del crecimiento intrauterino y el desprendimiento placentario. El reconocimiento y tratamiento oportuno y preciso de la preeclampsia suele ser difícil, ya que los criterios diagnósticos aún se basan en signos y síntomas inespecíficos y no existe una relación clara entre los criterios habituales de gravedad y los resultados desfavorables para la madre o el feto. El descubrimiento del papel que juegan los factores relacionados con la angiogénesis (sFlt-1 y PlGF) en la fisiopatología subyacente de la insuficiencia placentaria ha constituido un paso importante a la hora de mejorar el diagnóstico precoz y establecer un pronóstico en los casos que se presentan antes de la semana 34 de gestación. En la actualidad está ampliamente aceptado que el valor límite del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF que permite excluir la existencia de preeclampsia en pacientes en las que se sospecha esta enfermedad es de 38 o menos, y que el uso de este cociente resulta costo-eficiente. Sin embargo, los datos disponibles relativos al tratamiento y al pronóstico de las mujeres con niveles anormalmente altos del cociente sFlt1/PlGF son más limitados. Este artículo resume los conocimientos actuales relativos a la aplicación clínica del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF para diagnosticar y pronosticar el curso de la preeclampsia, y señala las próximas tareas que serán necesarias abordar en relación con estos biomarcadores, como por ejemplo el papel que pueden jugar como dianas para el desarrollo y el seguimiento de nuevos tratamientos

RESUMO

Objetivos: la preeclampsia es causa importante de morbilidad y mortalidad materna y perinatal. La identificación de gestantes con riesgo de preeclampsia, el correcto diagnóstico y la adecuada evaluación del pronóstico son fundamentales para la elección de la actitud clínica más adecuada en cada caso y lograr evitar así las complicaciones asociadas y la mortalidad por preeclampsia. En este sentido, en los últimos años se han desarrollado y estudiado numerosos biomarcadores que, bien por sí mismos o en combinación con otros parámetros, muestran resultados prometedores en la predicción y diagnóstico de preeclampsia, y cuya incorporación a la práctica clínica habitual supondrá un avance en el manejo clínico de las gestantes con preeclampsia. Material y métodos: desde la Sociedad Española de Ginecología y Obstetricia se envió vía internet una encuesta con 25 preguntas (3 de ellas casos clínicos) a 2.699 miembros de la secciones de Medicina Perinatal y Ecografía con el objetivo de revisar el estado actual de la predicción, diagnóstico y manejo clínico de la preeclampsia en nuestro país. Resultados: a la encuesta respondieron 476 profesionales (17,63%) y de sus respuestas se concluye que la práctica clínica entre los profesionales de los hospitales españoles se ajusta en la mayoría de los aspectos evaluados a las recomendaciones actuales y al estado del conocimiento. Cabe destacar la baja utilización de biomarcadores en el primer trimestre para identificar gestantes con riesgo de preeclampsia e indicar profilaxis así como en el segundo y tercer trimestre para establecer el pronóstico y optimizar la actitud terapéutica


Objectives: Pre-eclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The correct diagnosis, prognosis, and identification of patients at high risk of pre-eclampsia are crucial for the optimal treatment and prevention of pre-eclampsia-associated complications and mortality. A large variety of prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers have been studied in the recent years either alone or in combination with other parameters, with promising results. The routine use of these biomarkers in clinical practice would help optimize the clinical approach to pre-eclampsia. Material and methods: The Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics forwarded an online 25-item questionnaire (of which 3 were clinical cases) to 2.699 members of the departments of perinatal medicine and ultrasound with the aim of revising how pre-eclampsia is predicted, diagnosed, and treated in Spain. Results: A total of 476 questionnaires (17.63%) were returned. The conclusion was that most aspects addressed in the questionnaire were approached in hospitals in Spain in accordance with official guidelines and the current state of knowledge. Of note is the rare use of biomarkers either during the first trimester of gestation in patients at risk of pre-eclampsia for the indication of prophylaxis, or during the second and third trimester for the prognosis and selection of the best therapeutic option

RESUMO

Objetivos: Analizar la relación entre las cardiopatías congénitas (CC) y las cromosomopatías en vida fetal. Método: Estudio retrospectivo realizado en un centro terciario de referencia. Seleccionamos las CC diagnosticadas prenatalmente entre 1990 y 2011, con verificación posnatal del diagnóstico y con información disponible del cariotipo. La recomendación de realizar técnica invasiva prenatal para estudio del cariotipo dependió del tipo de CC y de la existencia de otros factores de riesgo de cromosomopatía. Resultados: Se analizaron 1.384 CC. El cariotipo se estudió prenatalmente en 848 (61,3%) y en el resto o se estudió posnatalmente (172; 12,4%) o se excluyó clínicamente la presencia de cromosomopatía por la ausencia de marcadores clínicos indicativos de aquella (364; 26,3%). Existía una cromosomopatía en 363 CC (26,2%). El diagnóstico fue prenatal en 324 (89,3%) y posnatal en 39 (10,7%). En estos casos no se realizó el estudio prenatal del cariotipo principalmente por la negativa de los padres (n = 28). La CC que mostró mayor asociación con cromosomopatías fue el canal aurículo-ventricular (66,7%). Esta asociación fue nula en algunas CC como la transposición de grandes arterias o el ventrículo único. Lo mismo sucedió en la atresia tricúspide aislada y en los síndromes de heterotaxia sin anomalías ajenas a las que forman parte del síndrome. Conclusiones: Aun siendo enormemente relevante la información del cariotipo en los fetos con CC para la toma de decisiones de los padres y el pronóstico del paciente, la recomendación de dicho estudio ha de individualizarse según las características de cada caso, pudiendo evitarse los riesgos de la técnica invasiva diagnóstica en muchos casos(AU)


Objectives: To assess the relationship between congenital heart defects (CHD) and chromosomal abnormalities in fetal life. Methods: This is a retrospective study undertaken at a tertiary care referral center. Our database was queried for cases of CHD prenatally diagnosed between 1990 and 2011, with postnatal diagnostic verification, as well as information available as regards the karyotype. The recommendation for performing fetal invasive procedures relied upon the type of CHD and the presence of associated high-risk factors of chromosomal disease. Results: A total of 1,384 CHD were retrieved and analyzed. The karyotype was studied prenatally in 848 (61.3%) and in the rest was either studied postnatally (172, 12.4%) or the presence of chromosomal disease was clinically ruled out given the absence of suggestive clinical markers (364, 26.3%). Chromosomal defects were diagnosed in 363 CHD (26.2%). The diagnosis was made prenatally in 324 (89.3%), and after birth in 39 (10.7%). In most of these cases (n = 28) the parents refused fetal invasive testing. We found that atrioventricular septal defect was the CHD most associated with chromosomal abnormalities (66.7%). On the contrary, we did not observe any chromosomal defect in CHD, such as transposition of large arteries or single ventricle. Similarly, there was no abnormal karyotype in isolated tricuspid atresia or in heterotaxy syndromes presenting without anomalies other than those typically included in the disease. Conclusions: Karyotype analysis is highly relevant in fetuses with CHD, given its impact in the parental decision-making process and patient outcome. Nevertheless, the recommendation of performing fetal invasive testing should be based on the individual characteristics of any given case, and in many cases the risks associated with the invasive procedure could be avoidable(AU)

RESUMO

Otocephaly is a rare and lethal congenital malformation characterized by the presence of agnathia, microstomia, aglossia and synotia. Despite its frequent association with severe malformations, diagnosis in the few published cases is usually made at III trimester. In this case, three-dimensional ultrasound scan was performed in a Chinese primigravida with no remarkable personal nor familiar history since mandible was difficulty visualized with two-dimensional sonography at 21 weeks of gestation. Multiplanar and rendering mode showed the typical cervicofacial features of otocephaly without associated malformations. After parental counselling, they opted for termination of pregnancy and necropsy confirmed our prenatal findings. Our case shows the usefulness of three-dimensional ultrasound in assessing fetal cervicofacial pathology. Volumetric capture allows a delayed study of fetal anatomy and multiplanar mode offers the reconstruction of views whose achivement is difficult with conventional 2D ultrasound. Surface rendering provides excellent spatial vision and enables parents to understand the severity of the malformation thus helping with their decisions.

RESUMO

Objetivo. Conocer las características histológicas e inmuno-histoquímicas de los carcinomas ductales in situ (CDIS) que pudieran influir en el estado de los márgenes en la primera cirugía, y el tratamiento quirúrgico finalmente realizado en los CDIS. Material y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo de los 485 diagnosticados en los años 2003, 2004 y 2005, en el Servicio de Ginecología del Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre de Madrid, 54 de los cuales (11,1%) fueron carcinomas ductales in situ (CDIS) y 280 (57,7%) ductales infiltrantes. Resultados. Solamente un 10% de CDIS fueron palpables. Los CDIS supusieron la cuarta parte de los carcinomas diagnosticados mediante biopsia con arpón. Los bordes estuvieron afectos en la primera cirugía de intención conservadora en el 50% de CDIS y solo en el 34% de carcinomas ductales infiltrantes (CDI), por lo que las segundas y terceras cirugías (por bordes persistentemente afectos) fueron más frecuentes en CDIS que en CDI. En CDIS, los grados histológicos altos se relacionaron con más bordes afectados, más resultados positivos en reescisiones y más mastectomías. La tasa de mastectomía en CDIS (43%) fue mayor que en CDI diagnosticados mediante arpón (27%), y similar a la de CDI considerados globalmente (41%). Conclusiones. El cribado mamográfico ha permitido un aumento de detección de CDIS, pero en ocasiones es difícil conseguir márgenes libres en ellos. Esto lleva a la aparente paradoja de tener que realizar mastectomía en CDIS, cuando en CDI podemos permitir cirugía conservadora sin empeorar el pronóstico (AU)


Objective. To determine the histological or immunohistochemical characteristics of ductal carcinomas in situ (DCIS) that could influence margin status at first surgery and at final surgery. Material and methods. We retrospectively studied the 485 breast carcinomas diagnosed in 2003, 2004 and 2005 at the Doce de Octubre Hospital (Madrid), of which 54 (11.1%) were DCIS and 280 (57.7%) were invasive ductal carcinomas (IDC). Results. Only 10% of DCIS were palpable. DCIS represented 25% of all carcinomas diagnosed by mammographic wire-guided biopsy. We found positive margins on first breast-conserving surgery in 50% of DCIS and in 34% of IDC. Consequently, a second or even a third intervention (for persistently involved margins) was more frequent in DCIS than in IDC. In DCIS higher histological grades were associated with more frequent margin involvement and a higher rate of re-excision with positive margins and mastectomy. The mastectomy rate in DCIS (43%) was higher than that in IDC diagnosed by mammographic wire-guided biopsy (27%), and was similar to that in IDC overall (41%). Conclusions. Mammographic screening programs have improved the detection of DCIS, but clear margins are sometimes difficult to achieve in this entity, leading to the paradox that women with palpable IDC are able to undergo breast-conserving surgery without compromising prognosis, whereas a mammographically detected DCIS requires mastectomy (AU)

RESUMO

La preeclampsia continúa siendo una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad materna y perinatal. A pesar de su repercusión, hasta ahora no ha habido métodos adecuados para detectarla de forma temprana y prevenir complicaciones. Las estrategias de selección basadas en la presencia de factores de riesgo maternos no resultan eficientes. El empleo del Doppler de arterias uterinas no se ha conseguido imponer en la práctica habitual, pero en combinación con los nuevos marcadores angiogénicos sFlt-1 y PlGF se convierte en una herramienta con gran potencial para la predicción y el diagnóstico temprano de la preeclampsia. En este artículo se discutirá la oportunidad de trasladar a la clínica diaria el estudio Doppler de arterias uterinas y los marcadores angiogénicos sFlt-1 y PlGF en función de los datos conocidos a través los estudios realizados recientemente(AU)


Pre-eclampsia remains a principal cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Despite its repercussions, so far there have been no methods for early diagnosis and prevention of complications. Selection strategies based on the presence of maternal risk factors are not efficient. The use of uterine artery Doppler has not been accepted in routine practice, but in combination with new angiogenic markers sFlt-1 and PlGF it becomes a very powerful tool for the prediction and early diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. This article will discuss the challenge of transferring the study of uterine artery Doppler and angiogenic markers sFlt-1 and PlGF to daily clinical practice in the light of the available data from recent studies(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: Analizar en los cánceres inflamatorios de mama (inflammatory breast carcinoma [IBC]), diagnosticados y tratados en nuestro hospital, el significado pronóstico de los factores relacionados con la enfermedad. Sujetos y métodos: Este análisis retrospectivo incluye 40 pacientes con IBC, sin metástasis al inicio, diagnosticadas en nuestra consulta entre 1991 y 2004, con criterio clínico y patológico de IBC. Resultados: Se observa una mejor respuesta, estadísticamente significativa, a la quimioterapia (QT) neoadyuvante en tumores con receptores hormonales positivos. Asimismo, la afectación clínica de la axila, la invasión de más de 4 ganglios y la ausencia de respuesta a la QT son determinantes de un mayor riesgo de recidiva. Conclusiones: Se confirma la importancia de la respuesta a la QT neoadyuvante como factor pronóstico. Son necesarios más estudios para determinar la pauta terapéutica más adecuada en el IBC


Objectives: To analyze the possible prognostic value of disease-related factors in inflammatory breast carcinomas (IBC) diagnosed and treated in our hospital. Subjects and methods: This retrospective analysis included 40 patients with non-metastatic IBC diagnosed in our service between 1991 and 2004, with both clinical and pathological criteria of IBC. Results: Treatment response was significantly better in tumors with positive hormone receptor status. Axillary invasion, involvement of more than 4 nodes, and lack of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy were determinants of a high risk of recurrence. Conclusions: Our data suggest that response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an important prognostic factor. Further studies are required to determine the most appropriate treatment of IBC
