Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of women with disabilities: a nationwide population-based study in South Korea.

ABSTRACT: We investigated (1) pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women with and without disabilities, (2) time trends in deliveries, and (3) risks of pregnancy and neonatal complications among women with various disability types and severity. This was a nationwide population-based study merging the database of the Korea National Health Insurance claims, National Health Screening Program for Infants and Children, and Disability Registration System to compare perinatal outcomes in women with and without disabilities. Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes were analyzed during 2007 and 2015, as were time trends of deliveries. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate risk of perinatal outcomes among women with various disability types and severities. Women with disabilities showed higher rates of cesarean section (aOR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.69-1.77), hypertensive disorders (aOR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.63-1.86), placenta abruption (aOR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.12-1.45), placenta previa (aOR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.05-1.24), stillbirths (aOR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.17-1.45), preterm births (aOR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.57-1.78), and LBW (aOR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.78-1.97) than those without disabilities. From 2007 to 2015, although delivery rate in women with disabilities decreased steeply compared with that in women without disabilities, the rate of cesarean section increased in women with disabilities. Women with intellectual disability and those with vision impairment had the highest number of perinatal complications among women with various types of disabilities. Women with disability had more adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes than those without disabilities. Specific disability types & severities are more vulnerable to specific perinatal complications.

Project description:BackgroundNon-obstetric surgery during pregnancy is associated with adverse obstetric and fetal outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes for women who underwent non-obstetric pelvic surgery during pregnancy compared with that of women that did not undergo surgery.MethodsStudy data from women who gave birth in Korea were collected from the Korea National Health Insurance claims database between 2006 and 2016. We identified pregnant women who underwent abdominal non-obstetric pelvic surgery by laparoscopy or laparotomy from the database. Pregnancy outcomes including preterm birth, low birth weight (LBW), cesarean section (C/S), gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, and postpartum hemorrhage were identified. The adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the pregnancy outcomes were estimated by multivariate regression models.ResultsData from 4,439,778 women were collected for this study. From 2006-2016, 9,417 women from the initial cohort underwent non-obstetric pelvic surgery (adnexal mass resection, appendectomy) during pregnancy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that preterm birth (HR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.81-2.23), LBW (HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.46-1.79), C/S (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.08-1.18), and gestational hypertension (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.18-1.55) were significantly more frequent in women who underwent non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy compared to pregnant women who did not undergo surgery. When the laparoscopic and laparotomy groups were compared for risk of fetal outcomes, the risk of LBW was significantly decreased in laparoscopic adnexal resection during pregnancy compared to laparotomy (odds ratio, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.40-0.95).ConclusionNon-obstetric pelvic surgery during pregnancy was associated with a higher risk of preterm birth, LBW, gestational hypertension, placenta previa, placental abruption, and C/S. Although the benefits and safety of laparoscopy during pregnancy appear similar to those of laparotomy in regard to pregnancy outcomes, laparoscopic adnexal mass resection was associated with a lower risk of LBW.

Project description:BackgroundEarly-onset colorectal cancer has risen worldwide, leaving more women with colorectal cancer at reproductive ages. We aimed to investigate the risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes among women with early-onset colorectal cancer.MethodsWe conducted a nationwide, matched case-control study of maternal/pregnancy outcomes including pre-eclampsia and Cesarean delivery (C-section) as well as neonatal outcomes including preterm birth among 207 births in women with early-onset colorectal cancer (ages 18-49) and 1019 births in women without colorectal cancer in Sweden (1992-2019). Early-onset colorectal cancer cases were identified through the Cancer Register, and outcome data were retrieved through linkage to Medical Birth Register and National Patient Register. Using conditional logistic regression, we estimated multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).FindingsBetween Jan 1, 1992, and Dec 31, 2019, women with early-onset colorectal cancer who gave birth had increased odds of pre-eclampsia (7.2% vs 3.2%; OR = 2.52, 95%CI = 1.25-5.08), any C-section (24.6% vs 19.4%; OR = 1.43, 95%CI = 1.00-2.06), particularly emergency C-section (17.4% vs 10.5%; OR = 1.79, 95%CI = 1.17-2.75), after adjustment for maternal education level, country of birth, body mass index and smoking in early pregnancy, and comorbidities. Maternal history of early-onset colorectal cancer was also associated with offspring preterm birth (12.1% vs 5.2%; OR = 2.31, 95%CI = 1.34-3.99), delineated as spontaneous (OR = 1.06, 95%CI = 0.47-2.39) or medically-indicated preterm birth (OR = 4.48, 95%CI = 2.05-9.79). There was no increased risk of congenital malformation or small for gestational age birth.InterpretationIn this population-based study, maternal history of early-onset colorectal cancer was associated with risk of both adverse pregnancy (pre-eclampsia, C-section) and neonatal outcomes (preterm birth).FundingUS National Institutes of Health, Swedish Society of Medicine, Swedish Cancer Foundation.

Project description:BackgroundPregnancy associated cancer (PAC) may lead to adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes. This study aims to assess the association between PACs and adverse perinatal outcomes [i.e. labor induction, iatrogenic delivery, preterm birth, small for gestational age (SGA) newborn, low Apgar score, major malformations, perinatal mortality] in Lombardy, Northern Italy.MethodsThis population-based historic cohort study used the certificate of delivery assistance and the regional healthcare utilization databases of Lombardy Region to identify beneficiaries of National Health Service who delivered between 2008 and 2017. PACs were defined through oncological ICD-9-CM codes reported in the hospital discharge forms. Each woman with PAC was matched to four women randomly selected from those cancer-free (1:4). Log-binomial regression models were fitted to estimate crude and adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) of each perinatal outcome among PAC and cancer-free women.ResultsOut of the 657,968 deliveries, 831 PACs were identified (1.26 per 1000). PAC diagnosed during pregnancy was positively associated with labor induction or planned delivery (aPR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.57-2.07), cesarean section (aPR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.49-2.11) and premature birth (aPR=6.34, 95% CI: 4.59-8.75). No association with obstetric outcomes was found among PAC diagnosed in the post-pregnancy. No association of PAC, neither during pregnancy nor in post-pregnancy was found for SGA (aPR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.36-1.35 and aPR=1.04, 95% CI: 0.78-1.39, respectively), but newborn among PAC women had a lower birth weight (p-value< 0.001). Newborns of women with PAC diagnosed during pregnancy had a higher risk of borderline significance of a low Apgar score (aPR=2.65, 95% CI: 0.96-7.33) as compared to cancer-free women.ConclusionPAC, especially when diagnosed during pregnancy, is associated with iatrogenic preterm delivery, compromising some neonatal heath indicators.

Project description:BackgroundPolycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that affects women in reproductive age and represents an unfavourable risk factor for several pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. Despite, no guidelines or pharmaceutical strategies for treating PCOS during pregnancy are available. The aim of this study is to determine the association between polycystic ovary syndrome with or without metformin and the pregnancy, perinatal outcomes as well as the risk of obesity in children born to these mothers.MethodsIn this nationwide population-based cohort study based in Swedish population, all singleton births (n = 1,016,805) from 686,847 women since 2006 up to 2016 were included. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression modelling with odds ratios (OR) and hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals were used to study the association between the exposure of maternal PCOS, metformin during pregnancy (or the combination of both) and: 1) Pregnancy outcomes: preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, caesarean section, and acute caesarean section, 2) Perinatal outcomes: preterm birth, stillbirth, low birth weight, macrosomia, Apgar < 7 at 5 min, small for gestational age and large for gestational age, and 3) Childhood Obesity.ResultsPCOS in women without metformin use during pregnancy was associated with higher risks of preeclampsia (OR = 1.09, 1.02-1.17), gestational diabetes (OR = 1.71, 1.53-1.91) and caesarean section (OR = 1.08, 1.04-1.12), preterm birth (OR = 1.30, 1.23-1.38), low birth weight (OR = 1.29, 1.20-1.38), low Apgar scores (OR = 1.17, 1.05-1.31) and large for gestational age (OR = 1.11, 1.03-1.20). Metformin use during pregnancy (in women without PCOS) was associated with a 29% lower risks of preeclampsia (OR = 0.71, 0.51-0.97), macrosomia and large for gestational age. Obesity was more common among children born to mothers with PCOS without metformin (HR = 1.61, 1.44-1.81); and those with metformin without PCOS (HR = 1.67, 1.05-2.65). PCOS with metformin was not associated with any adverse outcome.ConclusionPCOS was associated with increased risks of adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes and childhood obesity. Metformin appears to reduce these risks in mothers with polycystic ovary syndrome and their children; but may increase the risk of childhood-obesity in children form women without PCOS.

Project description:BackgroundA positive relationship was reported between metabolic syndrome and the risk of endometrial cancer. Studies on the relationship between metabolic syndrome and endometrial cancer have been mainly conducted in post-menopausal women. We aimed to investigate the risk of endometrial cancer according to metabolic syndrome and menopausal status using the Korean nationwide population-based cohort.MethodsWe enrolled 2,824,107 adults (endometrial cancer group; N = 5,604 and control group; N= 2,818,503) from the Korean National Health Insurance Service checkup database from January 1 to December 31, 2009. The median follow-up duration was 8.37 years. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed as having at least three of the following five components: abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, raised blood pressure, and hyperglycemia. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to estimate endometrial cancer risk.ResultsThe endometrial cancer risk was higher in the metabolic syndrome group than that in the non-metabolic syndrome group (HR, 1.362; 95% CI, 1.281-1.449). The association between metabolic syndrome and endometrial cancer risk was significant in the premenopausal subgroup (HR, 1.543; 95% CI, 1.39-1.713) and postmenopausal subgroup (HR, 1.306; 95% CI, 1.213-1.407). The incidence of endometrial cancer was more closely related to metabolic syndrome components in the pre-menopausal subgroup than those in the post-menopausal subgroup (for waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, all p for interaction <0.0001 respectively, and for fasting blood glucose, p for interaction 0.0188). The incidence of endometrial cancer positively correlated with the number of metabolic syndrome components (log-rank p <0.0001).ConclusionOur large population-based cohort study in Korean women suggests that metabolic syndrome and its accumulated components may be risk factors for endometrial cancer, particularly in the pre-menopausal women.
