Influence of ovarian torsion on reproductive outcomes and mode of delivery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate differences in reproductive outcomes among patients before and following ovarian torsion.

Study design

In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the reproductive outcomes of patients who underwent surgery for ovarian torsion between 1988 and 2015 in a tertiary medical center. Data on deliveries before and after ovarian torsion were compared.

Results

During the study period, 199 women underwent surgery due to ovarian torsion. The majority (91.4%; n = 182) underwent detorsion, and 8.6% (n = 17) underwent unilateral adnexectomy. At the time of the torsion, 27.6% (n = 55) of patients were pregnant. Among women who suffered from ovarian torsion, about half (52%) of the deliveries occurred before the torsion and 48% following the torsion. No significant difference in the live birth rate was noted (p = 0.19). The fertility treatment rate in our cohort was 7.5% before and 5% after the torsion (p = 0.01). In addition, live birth, cesarean delivery, and fertility treatment rates were similar in women who underwent detorsion vs. those who had adnexectomy.

Conclusion

Surgically treated ovarian torsion does not appear to negatively influence fertility and live birth potential.

Project description:BackgroundThe impact of mode of delivery in chorioamnionitis on neonatal outcomes is unclear. This retrospective cohort study compares the rate of early onset neonatal sepsis between vaginal delivery and cesarean section.MethodsSingleton pregnancies at greater than 24 + 0 weeks gestation with live birth and clinically-diagnosed chorioamnionitis from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 were included. Cases with multiple gestations, terminations or histological chorioamnionitis alone were excluded. Rates of early onset neonatal sepsis, select secondary neonatal outcomes and a composite outcome of maternal infectious morbidity were compared using propensity score weighting. Subgroup analysis was done by indication for cesarean section.ResultsAfter chart review, 378 cases were included with 197 delivering vaginally and 181 delivering via cesarean section. The groups differed on age, parity, hypertension, renal disease, gestational age, corticosteroid use, magnesium sulfate use, presence of meconium and percentage meeting Gibbs criteria before propensity score weighting. Rate of early onset neonatal sepsis was greater in the cesarean section group (13.8% versus 3.1%, adjusted risk difference 8.3% [3.5-13.1], p < 0.001). Secondary neonatal outcomes were similar between groups. When compared by indication, the rate of early onset neonatal sepsis was greater in the cesarean section for abnormal fetal surveillance group compared to vaginal delivery but not in the cesarean section for other reasons group. Adjusted rates of secondary neonatal outcomes did not differ between groups. The rate of maternal infectious morbidity was greater with cesarean section. (13.8% versus 1.5% [adjusted risk difference 13.0% [7.1-18.9], p < 0.0001). No other difference in maternal secondary outcomes was identified.ConclusionsThe rate of early onset neonatal sepsis was highest in the cesarean section group, particularly in those with abnormal fetal surveillance. Fetuses affected by or vulnerable to sepsis likely have a greater need for cesarean section.

Project description:BackgroundSelf-management has become increasingly popular in the management of chronic diseases. There are many different self-management models. Meta analyses of arthritis self-management have concluded that it is difficult to recommend any one program in preference to another due to inconsistencies in the study designs used to evaluate different programs.The Stanford Arthritis Self-Management Program (ASMP), most commonly delivered by trained lay leaders, is a generic program widely used for people with rheumatological disorders. We have developed a more specific program expressly for people with osteoarthritis of the knee (OAKP). It includes information designed to be delivered by health professionals and results in improvements in pain, function and quality of life.AimTo determine whether, for people with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, the OAKP implemented in a primary health care setting can achieve and maintain clinically meaningful improvements in more participants than ASMP delivered in the same environment.Methods/designThe effectiveness of the programs will be compared in a single-blind randomized study.Participants146 participants with established OA knee will be recruited. Volunteers with coexistent inflammatory joint disease or serious co-morbidities will be excluded.InterventionsParticipants will be randomised into either OAKP or ASMP groups and followed for 6 months.MeasurementsAssessments will be immediately before and after the intervention and at 6 months. Primary outcome measures will be WOMAC and SF-36 questionnaires and a VAS for pain. Secondary outcomes will include balance, tested using a timed single leg balance test and a timed step test and self-efficacy. Data will be analysed using repeated measures ANOVA.DiscussionWith an aging population the health care costs for people with arthritis are ever increasing. Although cost analysis is beyond the scope of this study, it is reasonable to expect that costs will be greater when health professionals deliver self-management programs as opposed to lay leaders. Consequently it is critical to examine the relative effectiveness of the primary care management strategies available for OA.Trial registrationThis study is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: 12607000031460.
