Abstract

Background: Combined oral contraceptives are a form of contraception that are considered safe and effective for some women, but this does not rule out the possibility that combined oral contra­ceptives contribute to adverse health effects. Several epidemiological studies have shown that oral contraceptives have adverse effects on women's health. The use of contraceptive pills containing the hormones estrogen and progesterone can cause an increase in blood pressure and also stroke if used continuously. The purpose of this study was to estimate the magnitude of the risk of using combined oral contraceptives on the incidence of hypertension and stroke with a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis using PRISMA flowchart diagram guidelines. The article search process was carried out between 2007-2022 using 3 databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The keywords used in the data­base search were “oral contraceptive” OR “contraceptive pills” OR “combined oral contra­cep­tive” AND “hypertension” OR “blood pressure” AND “stroke” AND “women of reproductive age”. The inclusion criteria for full text articles using case control observational methods, articles using English, and articles using multivariate analysis with adjusted Odds Ratio results. Articles that have met the requirements are analyzed using the RevMan 5.3 application. Results: A total of 14 articles with case-control study designs originating from China, Ethiopia, the United States, Italy, and the Netherlands were carried out in a meta-analysis in this study. Meta-analysis of 7 articles showed that the effect of using combined oral contraceptives was to increase the incidence of hypertension 1.44 times compared to those who did not use combined oral con­traceptives (aOR= 1.44; 95% CI= 1.12 to 1.84; p= 0.004). Meanwhile, 7 articles showed that the effect of using combined oral contraceptives was to increase the incidence of stroke by 2.08 times compared to those who did not use combined oral contraceptives (aOR= 2.08; 95% CI= 1.48 to 2.92; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Combined oral contraceptives increase the risk of hypertension and stroke. Keywords: combined oral contraceptives, hypertension, stroke, meta-analysis Correspondence:Ulul Azmi Zuhaira.

Abstract

Background: There are many factors that influence menstrual patterns to become irre­gular, including stress and obesity. Menstrual cycle irregularities can have a serious impact on women's health, which will affect the metabolic, fertility, sexual and reproductive systems. This study aims to analyze the influence of obesity and stress on menstrual cycle disorders with a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: This study is a syste­matic study and meta-analysis, with the follow­ing PICO, Population= women of childbearing age. Intervention= obesity and stress. Compa­rison = not obese and not stressed. Outcome = disruption of the menstrual cycle. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. The keywords used are "menstrual disorder and obesity and stress", "obesity and menstrual irregularity", "obesity OR stress AND menstrual irregularity OR cross sectional study". The articles included in this study are full text articles with a cross sectional study design. Articles were collected using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: Meta-analysis of 8 observational studies showed that obese women were 4 times more likely to have menstrual cycle disorders than normal weight (aOR= 4.19; 95% CI= 1.99 to 8.84; p= 0.002). Meta-analysis of 6 observa­tional studies showed that women with stress had a risk of experiencing menstrual cycle dis­orders 1.28 times compared to women who did not experience stress (aOR= 1.28; 95% CI= 1.13 to 1.45; p = 0.001). Conclusion: Obesity and stress affect menstrual cycle disorders.

Abstract

Background: The rationale of the study is to establish the time duration of recovery of disturbed sugar values and NST parameters following steroid administration and which drug has a lesser rate of hyperglycemia and lesser disturbance of DFMC and NST parameters, so as to advocate better drugs for fetal lung maturity. This study aims to compare the changes in maternal serum glucose levels, daily fetal movement count, NST parameters, and umbilical artery doppler following Betamethasone and Dexamethasone administration in antenatal women. Subjects and Method: The study design is a prospective observational cohort study. 100 pregnant patients, were recruited into 2 equal groups who received Betamethasone and Dexamethasone in Obstetrics & Gynaecology department, MLN Medical College, Prayagraj. The independent variables are Age, Gravidity, and BMI while the dependent variables are postprandial blood sugar values, Daily Fetal Movement Count, Fetal Heart Rate, Non-Stress Test Parameters, and Doppler Flow Veloci- metry of the Umbilical artery. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test, while, for continuous variables T-test was used. Study instruments include Glucometer, Cardiotocography, and Ultrasound. Results: Significant changes in the glycemic profile and fetal movements were noted. The mean ± SD glucose rise after 24 hrs in Group A (Mean= 140.10; SD= 35.90) and group B (Mean= 113.26; SD= 27.90), with p<0.001. 54% and 24% women perceived reduced fetal movements (p = 0.002) while 14% and 12% women had reduced variability on NST (p = 0.766) in Group A and Group B respectively, with 66.6% and 85.71% showing reduced flow on Doppler. Conclusion: Antenatal Betamethasone as well as Dexamethasone administration causes significant changes in maternal hyperglycemia, FHR, and DFMC at 24hrs while changes were non-significant in NST parameters and Doppler. Maternal hyperglycemia resolved within 72hrs with a resolution of decreased fetal movement perception. Umbilical artery flow decreased 24 hrs following steroid administration with more profound changes with betamethasone.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is the one of the comorbidities in children with Down syndrome. The pathogenesis of this pulmonary hypertension remains to be investigated, although endothelial dysfunction and apoptotic activity are among the proposed mechanisms. Caspase-3 is a key regulator of apoptosis and appears to be an attractive predictor of pulmonary hypertension in children with Down syndrome. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional observational clinical study was performed in Dr. Moe­wardi General Hospital in Surakarta-Indonesia between January and March 2021 involving clini­cally diagnosed children with Down syndrome. Sampling method was using a consecutive sampling. The independent variable was plasma caspase-3 level and the dependent variable were the presence of pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart defects (CHD). Clinical data documentation, blood collection and echocardiography were performed on enrollment day. We first determined the plasma level of caspase-3 in 36 children with Down syndrome and CHD (n=18) or without CHD (n=18) and further determined the risk of having pulmonary hypertension using the plasma caspase-3 level. We also determined the biomarker performance of caspase-3 using a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis Results: Children with Down syndrome with PH had a higher plasma caspase-3 compared to those without PH (p<0.001). In those with both CHD and PH, the plasma caspase-3 level was also high although not statistically significant (p=0.145). The highest plasma caspase-3 level was observed in subjects with PH without CHD (p<0.01). Relative risk and ROC analysis demonstrated that increased plasma caspase-3 level increased the risk to have PH 5 times (RR=5.00, 95% CI 1.74 to 14.34; p<0.001) and predicted the incidence of PH in children with Down syndrome (AUC 0.88, CI 0.76 to 0.99). Conclusion: An elevation in plasma caspase-3 level of Down syndrome children is associated with the increasing risk of having PH regardless the presence of CHD.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of obesity in women of reproductive age worldwide is increasing by an estimated 20-36%. Increased prevalence of obesity also occurs in pregnant women. Obesity increases the risk of poor pregnancy outcome. This study aims to investigate the effect of maternal obesity on preterm birth and neonatal mortality. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. The articles used were obtained from several databases, including: Google Scholar, Science Direct, Springer Link, Proquest, and Scopus published from 2010 to 2021. The population in this study was pregnant women with an intervention in the form of obesity, comparison in the form of normal BMI, and outcome such as premature birth and neonatal death. The keywords used to search for articles were: (“maternal obesity” OR “maternal BMI”) AND (“premature birth” OR “preterm birth” OR “preterm delivery” OR “preterm labor”) AND (“neonatal mortality” OR “ neonatal death”) AND “adjusted Odds Ratio”, and “maternal obesity” AND (“premature birth” OR “preterm birth” OR “preterm delivery”) AND (“neonatal mortality” OR “neonatal death”) AND “adjusted Odds Ratio ". The article is a full text article with a cross-sectional and cohort study design. Articles were collected using PRISMA flow diagrams and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 . application. Results:  There were 19 articles reviewed in the study. A meta-analysis of 13 cohort studies showed that obese pregnant women were 1.02 times more likely to have a premature birth when compared to normal BMI pregnant women, but this result was not statistically significant (aOR=1.02; 95% CI=0.93 to 1.13; p=0.630). A meta-analysis of 4 cohort studies showed that maternal obesity increased the risk of neonatal death and was statistically significant (aOR=1.52; 95% CI=1.17 to 1.99; p=0.002). A meta-analysis of 4 cross-sectional studies showed that maternal obesity increased the risk of neonatal death and was statistically significant (aOR=1.44; 95% CI=1.26 to 1.64; p<0.001). Conclusion:  Maternal obesity increases the risk of neonatal death which is statistically significant and the risk of preterm birth which is not statistically significant.

Abstract

Background: A woman has an increased risk of breast cancer due to increased exposure to the hormone estrogen during her life due to early menarche, late menopause, and/or the absence of childbearing. Epidemiological data show that menopausal status has a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate overweight and obesity as risk factors for pre­menopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer. Subjects and Method: A systematic review and meta-analysis study was conducted by systema­tically reviewing articles published from 2010-2021 in the PubMed, Google Scholar, SpringerLink and Science Direct databases with the keywords overweight AND obesity AND "breast cancer" OR "breast carcinoma" AND "premenopausal women", overweight AND obesity AND "breast cancer" OR "breast carcinoma" AND "postmenopausal women". Inclusion criteria included articles in English, full text, using an observational study design, and displaying adjusted odds ratios. Articles were reviewed using PRISMA diagrams and analyzed using Revman 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis of 10 articles concluded that overweight women were 1.35 times more likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer than women with a normal BMI (aOR= 1.35; 95% CI= 0.98 to 1.86; p= 0.070). A meta-analysis of 10 articles concluded that obese women were 1.27 times more likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer than women with normal BMI (aOR= 1.27; 95% CI= 0.95 to 1.69; p= 0.110). A meta-analysis of 9 articles concluded that overweight women had a 1.28 times risk of developing postmenopausal breast cancer compared with women with a normal BMI (aOR= 1.28; 95% CI= 1.00 to 1.63; p= 0.050). A meta-analysis of 11 articles concluded that obese women were 1.52 times more likely to develop postmenopausal breast cancer than women with normal BMI (aOR= 1.52; 95% CI= 1.17 to 1.98; p= 0.002). Conclusion: Overweight and obesity increase the risk of pre-menopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer.
