- Three-dimensional Ultrasound Evaluation of Lung Volume in Fetuses with Abdominal Wall Defect(2023) NISHIE, Estela Naomi; OSMUNDO-JUNIOR, Gilmar de Souza; MOHAMED, Samirah Hosney Mahmoud; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; PERES, Stela Verzinhasse; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; BRIZOT, Maria de LourdesIntroduction: Abdominal wall defects (AWD) interfere with postnatal respiratory parameters. We aimed to evaluate lung volume (LV) in fetuses with AWD using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) and to correlate AWD with the type (omphalocele and gastroschisis) and size of the defect and neonatal morbidity and mortality.Methods: This prospective study included 72 pregnant women with fetuses with AWD and a gestational age <25 weeks. Abdominal volume, 3D US LV, and herniated volume were acquired every 4 weeks up to 33 weeks. LV was compared with normal reference curves and correlated with abdominal and herniated volumes.Results: Omphalocele (p<0.001) and gastroschisis (p<0.001) fetuses had smaller LV than did normal fetuses. LV was positively correlated with abdominal volume (omphalocele, r=0.86; gastroschisis, r=0.88), whereas LV was negatively correlated with omphalocele-herniated volume/abdominal volume (p<0.001, r= -0.51). LV was smaller in omphalocele fetuses that died (p=0.002), were intubated (p=0.02), or had secondary closure (p<0.001). In gastroschisis, a smaller LV was observed in fetuses discharged using oxygen (p=0.002).Discussion/Conclusion: Fetuses with AWD had smaller 3D LV than normal fetuses. Fetal abdominal volume was inversely correlated with LV. In omphalocele fetuses, a smaller LV was associated with neonatal mortality and morbidity.
- Association of spontaneous labor onset with neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis: A retrospective cohort analysis(2019) OSMUNDO JUNIOR, Gilmar de Souza; MOHAMED, Samirah Hosney Mahmoud; NISHIE, Estela Naomi; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; BRIZOT, Maria de LourdesIntroduction The present study aims to investigate the association of spontaneous labor onset with neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis. The secondary goal was to evaluate the association between ultrasound markers and labor onset in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis. Material and methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 207 pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis between 2005 and 2017. Patients were followed according to a strict protocol involving ultrasound scans and routine evaluations of fetal biophysical profile parameters and intra- and extra-abdominal bowel diameters. Labor, delivery and neonatal records were reviewed. The neonatal outcomes were complex gastroschisis, staged surgical closure of the abdominal defect, short bowel syndrome, time on mechanical ventilation, time to full enteral feeding and necrotizing enterocolitis. Results Spontaneous labor onset was associated with complex gastroschisis (30.7% vs 6.8%, P = 0.002) and short bowel syndrome (13.2% vs none, P = 0.013) in cases with spontaneous preterm delivery compared with the indicated preterm deliveries. Spontaneous labor onset was associated with a longer time on mechanical ventilation for term and preterm newborns. Associations were not observed between ultrasound markers and spontaneous labor onset. Conclusions Spontaneous labor onset in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis was associated with adverse neonatal outcomes, particularly in those born preterm.
- Placental pathological findings in coronavirus disease 2019: Perinatal outcomes(2022) ARCOS JUNIOR, Gelson Farias; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; KILL, Beatriz; PERES, Stela Verzinhasse; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta B. C.; IBIDI, Silvia Maria; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; SIMOES, Angelica Braz; BRIZOT, Maria de Lourdes; SCHULTZ, Regina; CARVALHO, Mariana AzevedoIntroduction: Placental alterations caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have already been described, but most studies used small sample groups and the difference according to the severity of the disease has not been verified. Our objective was to describe placental alterations in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and analyze the association of pathological placental findings with the clinical pa-rameters of COVID-19 and perinatal results.Methods: This was a nested study within a prospective cohort study involving 109 symptomatic pregnant women with COVID-19. The prevalence of observed placental alterations was described, and the associations of path-ological findings with the clinical parameters of COVID-19 severity and with perinatal outcomes were assessed.Results: The frequency of types of placental features was poor maternal vascular perfusion in 45% of cases, poor fetal vascular perfusion in 33.9%, hematogenous origin infection in 32.1%, and morphological changes corre-sponding to ascending infection in 21.1%. Hematogenous infection differed significantly according to COVID-19 severity (p = 0.008), with a prevalence ratio (PR) of 1.74 (95% confidence interval, 1.02-2.98) in the moderate COVID-19 group compared to the mild COVID-19 group. Among the perinatal outcomes, there was an unex-pected inverse association between prematurity and placental infection of hematogenous origin, with lower rates of prematurity among cases with inflammation of hematogenous origin (p = 0.029).Discussion: Moderate SARS-Cov-2 infection presented a higher prevalence of placental pathological findings. There was no association of placental findings with adverse perinatal outcomes.
- Vertical transmission of SARS-CoV2 during pregnancy: A high-risk cohort(2021) MAEDA, Mariane de Fatima Yukie; BRIZOT, Maria de Lourdes; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; IBIDI, Silvia Maria; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; HOSHIDA, Mara Sandra; MACHADO, Clarisse Martins; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; SILVA, Lea Campos de Oliveira da; JAENISCH, Thomas; MENDES-CORREA, Maria Cassia Jacintho; MAYAUD, Philippe; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcinelli VieiraObjective Identify the potential for and risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 vertical transmission. Methods Symptomatic pregnant women with COVID-19 diagnosis in whom PCR for SARS-CoV-2 was performed at delivery using maternal serum and at least one of the biological samples: cord blood (CB), amniotic fluid (AF), colostrum and/or oropharyngeal swab (OPS) of the neonate. The association of parameters with maternal, AF and/or CB positivity and the influence of SARS-CoV-2 positivity in AF and/or CB on neonatal outcomes were investigated. Results Overall 73.4% (80/109) were admitted in hospital due to COVID-19, 22.9% needed intensive care and there were four maternal deaths. Positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 was observed in 14.7% of maternal blood, 13.9% of AF, 6.7% of CB, 2.1% of colostrum and 3.7% of OPS samples. The interval between COVID-19 symptoms and delivery was inversely associated with SARS-CoV-2 positivity in the maternal blood (p = 0.002) and in the AF and/or CB (p = 0.049). Maternal viremia was associated with positivity for SARS-CoV-2 in AF and/or CB (p = 0.001). SARS-CoV-2 positivity in the compartments was not associated with neonatal outcomes. Conclusion Vertical transmission is possible in pregnant women with COVID-19 and a shorter interval between maternal symptoms and delivery is an influencing factor.
- Kidney impairment in fetal growth restriction: three-dimensional evaluation of volume and vascularization(2020) SENRA, Janaina Campos; YOSHIZAKI, Carlos Tadashi; DORO, Giovana Farina; RUANO, Rodrigo; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; RODRIGUES, Agatha Sacramento; KOCH, Vera Hermina Kalika; KREBS, Vera Lucia Jornada; ZUGAIB, Marcelo; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; BERNARDES, Lisandra SteinObjectives Renal development is impaired in fetal growth restriction (FGR). Renal size can be considered a surrogate of renal function in childhood, and could be impaired in that condition. Our aim was to evaluate the ratio of total renal volume, measured by three-dimensional ultrasound, to estimated fetal weight (TRV/EFW) among fetuses with and without growth restriction. Furthermore, we correlated TRV/EFW with fetal Doppler velocimetry and renal vascularization indexes and evaluated the association of renal volume and vascular parameters with adverse neonatal events in growth-restricted fetuses. Methods In a retrospective cohort, TRV and renal vascularization of growth-restricted and normal fetuses were evaluated by three-dimensional ultrasonography and VOCAL technique. Independent samples t-tests and Mann-Whitney test were used for comparisons between groups. Logistic regression model was applied to evaluate the association between renal characteristics and adverse neonatal events. Results Seventy-one growth-restricted fetuses were compared to 194 controls. The TRV/EFW was lower in the growth-restricted group (P < .001). In our sample, this ratio did not correlate with Doppler velocimetry parameters, renal vascular indexes or any adverse neonatal events. Conclusion The TRV/EFW ratio is decreased in FGR. Further studies are needed to investigate the association of this ratio with long-term renal outcomes.
