Concordance between self-reported pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and BMI measured at the first Prenatal Study contact
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2016Co-Authors: Barnabas Natamba, Sixto E. Sanchez, Bizu Gelaye, Michelle A. WilliamsAbstract:The 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) gestational weight recommendations are tailored to women’s pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI). Limited evidence exists on methods for estimating women’s pre-pregnancy BMI, particularly for women living in low and middle income countries. Using data from collected among Peruvian pregnant women, we compared the concordance between self-reported pre-pregnancy BMI with BMI measured at the earliest Prenatal Study visit. Data were from the Pregnancy Outcomes Maternal and Infant Study (PrOMIS), a cohort of pregnant women at the Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal (INMP) in Lima, Peru. 2605 women aged 18 to 49 years (mean ± SD gestational age = 10.9 ± 3.3 weeks) were included in the Study. Self-reported pre-pregnancy weight and height and measured weight and height were collected at the first Prenatal Study contact. We assessed the concordance between measured and self-reported BMI; and, the agreement among indicators of nutritional status obtained using measured and self-reported BMI. On average, weight measured at the first Prenatal Study visit was 0.27 kg higher than self-reported pre-pregnancy weight (p

We assessed the concordance between measured and self-reported BMI; and, the agreement among indicators of nutritional status obtained using measured and self-reported BMI. On average, weight measured at the first Prenatal Study visit was 0.27 kg higher than self-reported pre-pregnancy weight (p < 0.05); and, measured height was 0.02 m lower than self-reported pre-pregnancy height (p < 0.001). Correspondingly, measured BMI was 0.71 kg/m2 higher than self-reported BMI (p < 0.001). Scatter and Bland-Altman plots indicated strong concordance between measured and self-reported BMI. The proportion of women in the normal BMI category tended to be higher when using self-reported BMI (59.6 %) than when using measured BMI (50.4 %). Conversely, the proportion of women in the overweight or obese BMI categories tended to be lower when using self-reported BMI (38.2 %) than when using measured BMI (47.7 %). Self-reported pre-pregnancy BMI was strongly correlated with BMI measured at the first Prenatal Study contact. The findings potentially suggest that, in this context, there is minimal change between pre-pregnancy BMI and BMI measured at the first Prenatal Study contact; or, that women in this Study just recalled their most recent measured anthropometrics (including values obtained during the index pregnancy but before enrollment in the PrOMIS Study).

History of childhood sexual abuse and risk of Prenatal and postpartum depression or depressive symptoms: an epidemiologic review
Archives of Women's Mental Health, 2015Co-Authors: Adaeze C. Wosu, Bizu Gelaye, Michelle A. WilliamsAbstract:The objective of this review is to summarize the literature (and to the extent possible, report the magnitude and direction of the association) concerning history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and depression or depressive symptoms among pregnant and postpartum women. Publications were identified through literature searches of seven databases (PubMed, EMBASE, PyscINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, BIOSIS, and Science Direct) using keywords including “child abuse,” “depression,” “pregnancy,” “Prenatal,” “pregnancy,” and “postpartum.” The literature search yielded seven eligible studies on the Prenatal period and another seven studies on the postpartum period. All but one Prenatal Study observed statistically significant positive associations of CSA with depression or depressive symptoms during pregnancy. Findings on the association of CSA with postpartum depression or depressive symptoms were inconsistent; pooled unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios were 1.82 (95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.92, 3.60) and 1.20 (95 % CI 0.81, 1.76). In sum, findings suggest a positive association of history of CSA with depression and depressive symptoms in the Prenatal period. Findings on the postpartum period were inconsistent. Clinical and public health implications of evidence from the available literature are discussed, as are desirable Study design characteristics of future research.

Incidence of Previously Unknown Cardiac Malformations in Asymptomatic Children After Prenatal Obstetric Ultrasound Screening H ä ufi gkeit bisher unbekannter angeborener Herzfehler bei asymptomatischen Kindern nach pr ä nataler geburtshilfl icher Ult
2020Co-Authors: P. K. Voitl, T. Wagner, A. ZoubekAbstract:▼Background: Cardiac murmurs may be frequently found in otherwise asymptomatic children. Obstetric ultrasound screening for congenital heart disease is increasingly used to provide an antenatal diagnosis and an early treatment; thus, the incidence of cardiac anomalies in children has changed. We evaluated cardiac murmurs in otherwise healthy children referred to a level I pediatric cardiology institution. Methods: Echocardiography data from a cohort of 2 045 patients from 2000 to 2009 were evaluated and the incidence and type of a newly diagnosed congenital heart disease have been determined. Results: The majority of the children with a cardiac murmur were found to have an innocent murmur, chordae tendinae, or a minor lesion. Children born after obstetric screening are nevertheless associated with a small risk of severe congenital heart disease. We found 14.9 % with a previously unknown congenital cardiac malformation; 1.4 % required medical treatment and 0.6 % of the patients had either a catheter or a surgical intervention. Conclusions: This Study provides evidence that the use of obstetric screening for congenital heart disease reduces the occurrence of severe heart disease. Otherwise healthy children with murmurs still bear a small risk of having a cardiac defect, even if a Prenatal Study was negative. Therefore, the evaluation of children with a murmur by a pediatric cardiologist is recommended in an antenatally-screened population.
