Complications and Route of Delivery in a Large Cohort Study of HIV-1-Infected Women-IMPAACT P1025.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To investigate complications of cesarean section in a cohort of HIV-infected pregnant women. METHODS:IMPAACT P1025 is a prospective cohort study of HIV-1-infected women and infants, enrolled 2002-2013, at clinical sites in the United States and Puerto Rico. Demographic, medical, and obstetric data were collected and analyzed including cesarean indications. The delivery route was categorized as elective cesarean (ECS) (before labor and <5 minutes before membrane rupture), nonelective cesarean (NECS) (all other cesareans) or vaginal delivery. Logistic regression models evaluated associations between delivery route and maternal intrapartum/postpartum morbidities. Composite morbidity of vaginal delivery was compared with ECS and NECS. RESULTS:This study included 2297 women. Of note, 99% used antiretroviral medication and 89% were on a combination antiretroviral therapy regimen; 84% had a HIV-1 viral load ?400 copies per milliliter before delivery; 46% (1055) delivered vaginally, 35% (798) by ECS, and 19% (444) by NECS. Although interruption of HIV-1 infection was the second most frequent indication for cesarean after repeat cesarean, it decreased as an indication over time. There were no delivery-related maternal mortalities. Overall, 19% of women had ?1 complication(s)-primarily wound complications (14%) or other infections (11%). Vaginal delivery had the lowest complication rate (13%), followed by ECS (23%), and highest NECS (28%) with an overall P < 0.001. HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission rates were low and did not differ by delivery mode group. CONCLUSIONS:HIV interruption as cesarean indicator declined during the study. Morbidity was more common in HIV-infected women delivering by NECS than ECS and lowest with vaginal delivery.

Project description:BackgroundExisting studies evaluating the association between schizophrenia and complications associated with pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes are based on data prior to 2014 and have reported heterogeneous results. The objective of our study was to determine whether pregnant women with schizophrenia were at increased risk of pregnancy, delivery and neonatal complications compared with women without severe mental disorders.MethodsWe performed a population-based cohort study of all singleton deliveries in France between Jan. 1, 2015, and Dec. 31, 2019. We divided this population into cases (i.e., women with schizophrenia) and controls (i.e., women without a diagnosis of severe mental disorder). Cases and controls were matched (1:4) inside the same hospital and the same year by age, social deprivation, parity, smoking, alcohol and substance addictions, malnutrition, obesity, and comorbidities. Univariate and multivariate models with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (ORs [95% CIs]) were used to estimate the association between schizophrenia and 24 pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes.FindingsOver 5 years, 3,667,461 singleton deliveries were identified, of which 3,108 occurred in women with schizophrenia. Compared to controls, women with schizophrenia were found to be older; have more frequent smoking, alcohol and substance addictions; suffer from obesity, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and often be hospitalized in tertiary maternity hospitals. Compared to matched controls, women with schizophrenia had more pregnancy complications (adjusted OR=1.41[95%CI 1.31-1.51]) (i.e., gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, genito-urinary infection, intrauterine growth retardation and threatened preterm labour). They had more delivery complications (aOR=1.18[95%CI 1.09 1.29]) with more still births/medical abortions (aOR=2.17[95%CI 1.62-2.90]) and caesarean sections (aOR=1.15[95%CI 1.05-1.25]). Newborns of women with schizophrenia had more neonatal complications (aOR=1.38[95%CI 1.27-1.50]) with more born preterm (aOR=1.64[95%CI1.42 -1.90]), small for gestational age (aOR=1.34[95%CI 1.19-1.50]) and low birth weight (aOR=1.75[95%CI 1.53-2.00]).InterpretationOur results highlight the importance of health disparities between pregnant women with and without schizophrenia, as well as in their newborns. Our study calls for health policy interventions during and before pregnancy, including proportionate intensified care to the level of needs, effective case management and preventive and social determinant approaches.FundingNo funding.

Project description:The primary study objective was to investigate three decades from 1985 to 2014 of changes in pregnancies among HIV-infected women. The secondary objective was to assess risk factors associated with preterm delivery and severe small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants in HIV-infected women. A retrospective review of deliveries among pregnant HIV-infected women at the University of Genoa and IRCCS San Martino-IST in Genoa between 1985 and 2014 was performed. Univariate and multivariable analyses were used to study the variables associated with neonatal outcomes. Overall, 262 deliveries were included in the study. An increase in median age (26 years in 1985-1994 vs. 34 years in 2005-2014), in the proportion of foreigners (none in 1985-1994 vs. 27/70 (38·6%) in 2005-2014), and a decrease in intravenous drug use (75·2% (91/121) in 1985-1994 vs. 12·9% (9/70) in 2005-2014) among pregnant HIV-infected women was observed. Progressively, HIV infections were diagnosed sooner (prior to pregnancy in 80% (56/70) of women in the last decade). An increase in combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) prescription during pregnancy (50% (27/54) in 1995-2004 vs. 92·2% (59/64) in 2005-2014) and in HIV-RNA <50 copies/ml at delivery (19·2% (5/26) in 1995-2004 vs. 82·3% (53/64) in 2005-2014) was observed. The rate of elective caesarean section from 1985 to 1994 was 9·1%, which increased to 92·3% from 2004 to 2015. Twelve (10·1%) mother-to-child transmissions (MTCT) occurred in the first decade, and six (8·3%) cases occurred in the second decade, the last of which was in 2000. Preterm delivery (<37 weeks gestation) was 5% (6/121) from 1985 to 1994 and increased to 17·1% (12/70) from 2005 to 2014. In univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses, advancing maternal age and previous pregnancies were associated with preterm delivery (odds ratio (OR) 2·7; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1-7·8 and OR 2·6; 95% CI 1·1-6·7, respectively). In the logistic regression analysis, use of heroin or methadone was found to be the only risk factor for severe SGA (OR 3·1; 95% CI 1·4-6·8). In conclusion, significant changes in demographic, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of HIV-infected pregnant women have occurred over the last 30 years. Since 2000, MTCT has decreased to zero. An increased risk of preterm delivery was found to be associated with advancing maternal age and previous pregnancies but not with cART. The use of heroin or methadone has been confirmed as a risk factor associated with severe SGA.

Project description:Current guidelines call for HIV-infected women to deliver via scheduled Caesarean when the maternal HIV viral load (VL) is >1,000 copies/ml. We describe the mode of delivery among HIV-infected women and evaluate adherence to relevant recommendations.We performed a population-based surveillance analysis of HIV-infected pregnant women in Philadelphia from 2005 to 2013, comparing mode of delivery (vaginal, scheduled Caesarean, or emergent Caesarean) by VL during pregnancy, closest to the time of delivery (≤1,000 copies/ml versus an unknown VL or VL >1,000 copies/ml) and associated factors in multivariable analysis.Our cohort included 824 deliveries from 648 HIV-infected women, of whom 69.4% had a VL ≤1,000 copies/ml and 30.6% lacked a VL or had a VL >1,000 copies/ml during pregnancy, closest to the time of delivery. Mode of delivery varied by VL: 56.6% of births were vaginal, 30.1% scheduled Caesarean, and 13.3% emergent Caesarean when the VL was ≤1,000 copies/ml; when the VL was unknown or >1,000 copies/ml, 32.9% of births were vaginal, 49.9% scheduled Caesarean and 17.5% emergent Caesarean. In multivariable analyses, Hispanic women (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 0.17, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.04-0.76) and non-Hispanic black women (AOR 0.27, 95% CI 0.10-0.77) were less to likely to deliver via scheduled Caesarean compared to non-Hispanic white women. Women who delivered prior to 38 weeks' gestation (AOR 0.37, 95% CI 0.18-0.76) were also less likely to deliver via scheduled Caesarean compared to women who delivered after 38 weeks' gestation. An interaction term for race and gestational age at delivery was significant in multivariable analysis. Non-Hispanic black (AOR 0.06, 95% CI 0.01-0.36) and Hispanic women (AOR 0.03, 95% CI 0.00-0.59) were more likely to deliver prematurely and less likely to deliver via scheduled C-section compared to non-Hispanic white women. Having a previous Caesarean (AOR 27.77, 95% CI 8.94-86.18) increased the odds of scheduled Caesarean delivery.Only half of deliveries for women with an unknown VL or VL >1,000 copies/ml occurred via scheduled Caesarean. Delivery prior to 38 weeks, particularly among minority women, resulted in a missed opportunity to receive a scheduled Caesarean. However, even when delivering at or after 38 weeks' gestation, a significant proportion of women did not get a scheduled Caesarean when indicated, suggesting a need for focused public health interventions to increase the proportion of women achieving viral suppression during pregnancy and delivering via scheduled Caesarean when indicated.

Project description:Antenatal vaginal progesterone (VP) reduces the risk of preterm birth (PTB) in women with shortened cervical length, and we hypothesize that it may also prevent PTB in women with HIV as their primary risk factor. We conducted a pilot feasibility study in Lusaka, Zambia to investigate uptake, adherence, and retention in preparation for a future efficacy trial. This was a double-masked, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of 200mg daily self-administered VP suppository or placebo. Pregnant women with HIV who were initiating or continuing antiretroviral therapy were eligible for participation. Potential participants underwent ultrasound to assess eligibility; we excluded those ≥24 gestational weeks, with non-viable, multiple gestation, or extrauterine pregnancies, with short cervix (<2.0cm), or with prior spontaneous PTB. Participants initiated study product between 20-24 weeks of gestation and continued to 37 weeks (or delivery, if sooner). The primary outcome was adherence (proportion achieving ≥80% study product use), assessed by dye stain assay of returned single-use vaginal applicators. Secondary outcomes with pre-defined feasibility targets were: uptake (≥50% eligible participants enrolled) and retention (≥90% ascertainment of delivery outcomes). We also evaluated preliminary efficacy by comparing the risk of spontaneous PTB <37 weeks between groups. From July 2017 to June 2018, 208 HIV-infected pregnant women were eligible for screening and 140 (uptake = 67%) were randomly allocated to VP (n = 70) or placebo (n = 70). Mean adherence was 94% (SD±9.4); 91% (n = 125/137) achieved overall adherence ≥80%. Delivery outcomes were ascertained from 134 (96%) participants. Spontaneous PTB occurred in 10 participants (15%) receiving placebo and 8 (12%) receiving progesterone (RR 0.82; 95%CI:0.34-1.97). Spontaneous PTB < 34 weeks occurred in 6 (9%) receiving placebo and 4 (6%) receiving progesterone (RR 0.67; 95%CI:0.20-2.67). In contrast to findings from vaginal microbicide studies in HIV-uninfected, non-pregnant women, our trial participants were highly adherent to daily self-administered vaginal progesterone. The study's a priori criteria for uptake, adherence, and retention were met, indicating that a phase III efficacy trial would be feasible.
