- Bacteriuria in Pregnant Adolescents and Behavioral Risk Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study at a Brazilian Teaching Hospital(2022) SOUZA, Henrique D. de; FRANCISCO, Rossana P. V.; HASE, Eliane A.; DIORIO, Giselle R. M.; WAISSMAN, Adriana L.; PERES, Stela V.; ZUGAIB, Marcelo; GALLETTA, Marco A. K.Introduction: Bacteriuria during pregnancy is a frequent and important cause of morbidity and complications. Data on its occurrence in pregnant adolescents are still scarce. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. All adolescents (<= 18 years) who came for prenatal care between January 2010 and January 2016 were included. Sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, obstetric history, and the results of laboratory tests were selected. A urine sample was aseptically collected from each patient to undergo microscopic and culture analysis. Results: A total of 388 pregnant adolescents averaging 15.30 +/- 1.24 years of age were included. The frequency of bacteriuria in this group was 17.01% (66/388). The lack of sports practice (OR = 8.65; 95% CI, 1.09-68.39), the fact that pregnancy was desired (OR = 2.17; 95% CI, 1.08-4.34), and the use of hormonal methods of contraception (OR = 2.46; 95% CI, 1.04-5.84) turned out to be independent risk factors for bacteriuria. Protective factors were identified as late coitarche (OR = 0.75; 95% CI, 0.57-0.98) and a urine culture analysis at a later gestational age (OR = 0.94; 95% CI, 0.90-0.98). The most often isolated pathogens were Escherichia coli (49%) and Streptococcus agalactiae (18%). Conclusion: Bacteriuria among pregnant adolescents is a relatively common condition. The infection risk of the urinary tract was increased by physical inactivity and seemingly by the influence of behavioral and sexual factors. Such results can help to identify patients at risk, favoring the early diagnosis of urinary tract infections and optimizing prenatal care.
- Weight loss among pregnant women hospitalized because of hyperemesis gravidarum: Is there a lack of nutrition intervention?(2022) GALLETTA, Marco Aurelio Knippel; CARRIERI, Adriana; PERES, Stela Verzinhasse; DIAS, Maria Carolina Goncalves; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli VieiraBackground Nutrition therapy is a key component in the management of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). The aim of this study was to describe sociodemographic, anthropometric, and nutrition aspects of pregnant women hospitalized because of HG and raise a discussion about the nutrition care provided. Materials and Methods This is a retrospective descriptive study that includes 26 pregnant women with confirmed diagnosis of HG who were hospitalized because of this condition in a tertiary hospital. Data of interest were collected from official medical records and analyzed to obtain measures of central tendency and dispersion, as well as frequencies. Results The studied individuals had a mean age of 25.7 years and a low level of education, and 65% of them were single mothers. They registered a low weight gain (2.8 kg) during pregnancy and in the course of their hospitalization, during which they lost an average of 1.7 kg, showing a decline in nutrition status during this period. Although the average intake of oral diet (OD) was 55% during hospital stay and only 5% of the studied population met caloric needs through OD, the prescription of complementary medical nutrition therapy (oral supplements, enteral or parenteral nutrition) was scarcely observed in this sample. Conclusion Despite the negative impact that HG can impose on the mother's nutrition status and the known benefits that complementary nutrition therapies can provide, few nutrition interventions have been carried out to improve this situation. That indicates an urgent need for implementation or reviewing of nutrition assistance protocols for HG patients.
