  • incidence of pre peri and post natal birth and developmental problems of children with sensory processing disorder and children with autism spectrum disorder
    Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2009
    Co-Authors: Teresa A Maybenson, Jane A Koomar, Alison Teasdale
    Abstract:

    As the diagnosis of sensory processing disorder (SPD) is advanced, it is important to investigate potential contributing factors to this disorder as well as early diagnostic signs. An exploratory descriptive study, utilizing retrospective chart review, was conducted to investigate the incidence of pre-, peri- and post-natal, birth and developmental problems in a sample of 1000 children with SPD and of 467 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who also had SPD. This study revealed that although no one factor was strongly associated with SPD or ASD, an average of seven events for children with SPD and eight events for children with ASD occurred across categories. These included: one pre-natal/pregnancy problem, Delivery Complication, assisted Delivery, gestational or birth-related injury/illness; one or more early childhood illnesses or injuries; two or more infancy/early childhood developmental problems; and one or more delayed early childhood developmental milestones. When comparing results to national studies of the typical population, most remarkable was the incidence of jaundice, three to four times higher in both the SPD and ASD groups than in typical children. In addition, rates of breech position, cord wrap/ prolapse, assisted Delivery methods (particularly forceps and suction deliveries), and high birth-weight were greater in both groups. Incidence of premature birth was higher in the ASD although not significantly different from the SPD group. Also of note was a high frequency of absent or brief crawling phase, and high percentages of problems with ear infections, allergies, and maternal stresses during pregnancy.

  • postnatal care service utilization and associated factors among women who gave birth in the last 12 months prior to the study in debre markos town northwestern ethiopia a community based cross sectional study
    International journal of reproductive medicine, 2016
    Co-Authors: Miteku Andualem Limenih, Zerfu Mulaw Endale, Berihun Assefa Dachew
    Abstract:

    Improving maternal and newborn health through proper postnatal care services under the care of skilled health personnel is the key strategy to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality. However, there were limited evidences on utilization of postnatal care services in Ethiopia. A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Debremarkos town, Northwest Ethiopia. Cluster sampling technique was used to select 588 study participants. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with postnatal care utilization. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was computed to determine the level of significance. Postnatal care service utilization was found to be 33.5%. Awareness about maternal Complication (AOR: 2.72, 95% CI (1.71, 4.34)), place of Delivery of last child (AOR: 1.68, 95% CI: (1.01, 2.79)), outcome of birth (AOR: 2.71, 95% CI (1.19, 6.19)), Delivery by cesarean section (AOR: 4.82, 95% CI (1.86, 12.54)), and Delivery Complication that occurred during birth (AOR: 2.58, 95% CI (1.56, 4.28)) were factors associated with postnatal care service utilization. Postnatal care service utilization was found to be low. Increasing awareness about postnatal care, preventing maternal and neonatal Complication, and scheduling mothers based on the national postnatal care follow-up protocol would increase postnatal care service utilization.

  • Management of the third stage of labor in second-trimester deliveries: How long is too long?
    Advocate Aurora Health Institutional Repository, 2019
    Co-Authors: Behrens, Jessica A, Greer, Danielle M, Kram, Jessica J F, Schmit Eric, Forgie, Marie M, Salvo, Nicole P
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: Retained placenta is the most common second-trimester Delivery Complication. As the optimal third stage of labor duration remains undefined, Complications associated with retained placentas are difficult to study. OBJECTIVE(S): To determine the optimal third stage of labor duration in second-trimester deliveries based on estimates of time-specific probabilities of placental Delivery, placental intervention, and postpartum Complication. STUDY DESIGN: We retrospectively studied adult women with singleton second-trimester vaginal deliveries. We identified third stage of labor duration, placental Delivery method (spontaneous vs. manual/operative intervention), and indication for intervention. Postpartum Complication was examined as a composite outcome. Differences among groups defined by Delivery method and postpartum Complication were tested using parametric and nonparametric tests. Probability curves describing the time-specific probabilities of placental Delivery were derived using lifetable methods with group differences tested using the log-rank test. Probability of placental intervention and Complication by time to placental Delivery were examined using logistic regression with adjustment for confounders and other predictors. RESULTS: We identified 215 second-trimester placental deliveries (77% spontaneous, 23% intervention). Overall, 27% experienced postpartum Complication, primarily hemorrhage (91%). Complication rates differed significantly between spontaneous placental deliveries (16%) and interventions (61%, P \u3c 0.01). Both placental intervention and postpartum Complication were strongly associated with longer time to placental Delivery. Spontaneous placental deliveries occurred earlier than deliveries requiring intervention (P \u3c 0.01). At 2 h, placental Delivery rates were 93% in spontaneous deliveries and 39% in those requiring intervention. The overall postpartum Complication rate for spontaneous placental deliveries (16%) was used as the threshold of tolerable risk and the criterion for placental intervention. Adjusted probability curves for deliveries of average gestational age (21.6 weeks) suggested that most patients (63.9%) may not require intervention until approximately 2 h following fetal Delivery. Patients with PPROM would require intervention by 34 min, and those with intrapartum fever or Delivery EBL ≥500 mL would already exceed the risk threshold at fetal Delivery. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that an optimal third stage of labor duration of approximately 2 h maximizes probability of spontaneous Delivery and minimizes Complication risk. Timing of intervention may be further individualized for patients based on maternal characteristics and intrapartum conditions
