Maternal Periodontal Disease as a Potential Risk Factor for Preterm Birth and Low Birth Weight
Background and Aim: Periodontal disease may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes such as low birth weight (LBW) or preterm birth (PTB). In the present study, mothers with one of these two delivery complications were analyzed regarding presence/absence of periodontal disease as a possible risk factor in comparison with related medical risk factors. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectiona...
متن کاملFirst-trimester maternal serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A and pre-eclampsia.
OBJECTIVES To examine the relationship between low maternal serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) at 11+0 to 13+6 weeks with subsequent development of pre-eclampsia (PE). METHODS UtA-PI and serum PAPP-A were measured in women attending for routine care at 11+0 to 13+6 weeks of gestation. In the population, 156 (1.9%) women developed...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Serum Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor as a Marker of Tubal Pregnancy
Background and purpose: Tubal pregnancy is a life threatening condition that not only causes mortality but also reduces fertility by less than 50%. In many patients, the level of βhCG does not reach detection threshold, and for definite diagnosis, long-term follow-up considering βhCG titration and transvaginal ultrasonography are needed which could lead to delay in diagnosis and treatment. The ...
متن کاملSerum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A in the three trimesters of pregnancy: effects of maternal characteristics and medical history.
OBJECTIVE To define the contribution of maternal variables which influence the measured level of maternal serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in screening for pregnancy complications. METHODS Maternal characteristics and medical history were recorded and serum PAPP-A was measured in women with a singleton pregnancy attending for three routine hospital visits at 11 + 0 to 13 +...
متن کاملMaternal level of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A as a predictor of pregnancy failure in threatened abortion.
Threatened miscarriage is a common complication of pregnancy. Despite initial viability confirmation by ultrasound scan, some of these patients had further spontaneous abortion. A highly sensitive and specific biomarker would be useful to determine the outcome of pregnancy and to prevent emotional impact to these women. A prospective 14-month cohort study was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gyn...
