- When One Knows a Fetus Is Expected to Die: Palliative Care in the Context of Prenatal Diagnosis of Fetal Malformations(2017) CATANIA, Taisa Rocha; BERNARDES, Lisandra Stein; BENUTE, Glaucia Rosana Guerra; GIBELI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; NASCIMENTO, Nathalia Bertolassi do; BARBOSA, Tercilia Virginia Aparecida; KREBS, Vera Lucia Jornada; FRANCISCO, Rossana P. V.Background: Fetal malformations occur in 2% of gestations and are the fifth most common cause of neonatal death in the world. In many cases, fetal malformations result in neonatal death or long stay in intensive care facilities. Families that continue the pregnancy in such a situation need to make choices and cope with an overwhelming number of potential issues. Palliative care starting at the prenatal period is a growing field that allows the entire family to prepare for this difficult situation. Objective: To perform a systematic review of published data on palliative care in the prenatal period. Design: PubMed and the Cochrane Library were searched using the keywords (""perinatal"" OR ""prenatal"" OR ""fetal"") AND ""palliative care"" and also (""perinatal"" OR ""prenatal"" OR ""fetal"") AND ""hospice."" Setting/Subjects: Studies focusing on the long-term impact of prenatal palliative care published up to December 2015 were used. Measurements: Quantitative and qualitative studies. Results: In total, 541 studies were retrieved; 29 articles met the inclusion criteria. Studies were organized into different categories according to the design or main focus. The majority of studies retrieved were reflexives or presented a narrative proposal on palliative care started in the prenatal period (45%). Clinical studies comprised 17% of all articles found. No studies were found on the long-term impact of prenatal palliative care. Conclusions: Prenatal palliative care is a growing field and an important supportive care measure that can help grieving parents and families who do not want to or cannot interrupt their pregnancy. More studies should be carried out, specifically concerning long-term impact of prenatal palliative care. Guidelines and training of health professionals must be developed so that more families can benefit from this type of care.
- Is Doppler ultrasound useful for evaluating gestational trophoblastic disease?(2015) LIN, Lawrence H.; BERNARDES, Lisandra S.; HASE, Eliane A.; FUSHIDA, Koji; FRANCISCO, Rossana P. V.Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive method for evaluating vascularization and is widely used in clinical practice. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia includes a group of highly vascularized malignancies derived from placental cells. This review summarizes data found in the literature regarding the applications of Doppler ultrasound in managing patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. The PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane and LILACS databases were searched for articles published in English until 2014 using the following keywords: ""Gestational trophoblastic disease AND Ultrasonography, Doppler."" Twenty-eight articles met the inclusion criteria and were separated into the 4 following groups according to the aim of the study. (1) Doppler ultrasound does not seem to be capable of differentiating partial from complete moles, but it might be useful when evaluating pregnancies in which a complete mole coexists with a normal fetus. (2) There is controversy in the role of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry in the prediction of development of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. (3) Doppler ultrasound is a useful tool in the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia because abnormal myometrial vascularization and lower uterine artery Doppler indices seem to be correlated with invasive disease. (4) Lower uterine artery Doppler indices in the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia are associated with methotrexate resistance and might play a role in prognosis. CONCLUSION: Several studies support the importance of Doppler ultrasound in the management of patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, particularly the role of Doppler velocimetry in the prediction of trophoblastic neoplasia and the chemoresistance of trophoblastic tumors. Doppler findings should be used as ancillary tools, along with human chorionic gonadotropin assessment, in the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
- A systematic review of instruments measuring grief after perinatal loss and factors associated with grief reactions(2021) SETUBAL, M. S.; BOLIBIO, R.; JESUS, R. C.; BENUTE, G. G.; GIBELLI, M. A.; BERTOLASSI, N.; BARBOSA, T.; GOMES, A.; FIGUEIREDO, F.; FERREIRA, R.; FRANCISCO, R.; BERNARDES, L. SteinObjective Expectant parents who live through perinatal loss experience intense grief, which is not always acknowledged or accepted. A screening tool to detect bereaved parents' grief reactions can guide professionals, including perinatal palliative care teams, to provide follow-up for those in need. This review's goal is to identify and synthesize the international published literature on existent instruments specifically measuring the grieving process after any perinatal loss and to identify factors that could moderate grief reactions. Method Systematic review (PROSPERO # CRD42018092555) with critical synthesis. PUBMED, Cochrane, and PsycINFO databases were searched in English language articles using the keywords ""perinatal"" AND (""grief"" OR ""bereavement"" OR mourning) AND (""scale"" OR ""questionnaire"" OR ""measure"" OR ""assessment"") up to May 2018. Eligibility criteria included every study using a measure to assess perinatal grief after all kinds of perinatal losses, including validations and translations to other languages and interventions designed to alleviate grief symptoms. Results A total of 67 papers met inclusion criteria. Seven instruments measuring perinatal grief published between 1984 and 2002 are described. The Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS) was used in 53 of the selected studies. Of those, 39 analyzed factors associated with grief reactions. Six articles used PGS scores to evaluate pre- and post-bereavement interventions. Studies in English language only might have limited the number of articles. Significance of results The PGS is the most used standardized measures to assess grief after perinatal loss. All parents living through any kind of perinatal loss should be screened.
- An unfavorable intrauterine environment may determine renal functional capacity in adulthood: a meta-analysis(2018) SENRA, Janaina Campos; CARVALHO, Mariana Azevedo; RODRIGUES, Agatha Sacramento; KREBS, Vera Lucia Jornada; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; BERNARDES, Lisandra SteinSince studies show that an unfavorable environment during intrauterine development predisposes individuals to several diseases in adulthood, our objective is to assess the relation between fetal growth restriction and chronic renal disease in adults. We searched four different electronic databases through November 2017: CENTRAL, EMBASE, LILACS and MEDLINE. We selected studies with longitudinal or transversal designs associating kidney function in adulthood with low birth weight. Two reviewers evaluated the inclusion criteria and the risk of bias and extracted data from the included papers. Thirteen studies were selected for the systematic review and meta-analysis. We observed increased risks of presenting end-stage renal disease (risk ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval: 1.17, 1.47), a lower glomerular filtration rate (ml/min) (mean difference 7.14; 95% confidence interval: -12.12, -2.16), microalbuminuria (risk ratio 1.40; 95% confidence interval: 1.28, 1.52) and a small increase in the albumin/creatinine ratio (mean difference 0.46; 95% confidence interval: 0.03, 0.90) in the low birth weight patients, compared with control group. These findings suggest that low birth weight is associated with renal dysfunction in adults.
