Bilateral notch together with abnormal PI measurements in the uterine artery Doppler screening during the second trimester was associated with poor perinatal outcomes. Such an association was not significant in the NT-proBNP measurements. Larger trials focused on late-onset preeclampsia are needed to draw definitive conclusions.

OBJECTIVE:The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between the lipid profile, plasma atherogenic index (PAI), and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.METHODS:The data of age, duration of menopause, height, weight, lipid profile, bone mineral density (BMD) value, and history of oral contraceptive use of 407 postmenopausal women who had not been menstruating for at least 12 months, were between the ages 45 and 80, and presented at the obstetrics and gynecology polyclinic of Kartal Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Tr aining and Research Hospital were reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence of osteoporosis, and the data compared. The level of significance was accepted as p<0.05.RESULTS:A total of 142 postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis were included in the study. The mean age was 61.7±6.9 years. In the control group, there were 263 postmenopausal women without osteoporosis, with a mean age of 58.3±4.5 years. There was no statistically significant difference with respect to triglyceride level; however, in the osteoporosis group, the level of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were lower, and the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was higher (p=0.762, p=0.002, p=0.01, p<0.001, respectively).CONCLUSION:A high level of HDL, and low LDL and PAI values, which are important for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, were found to be negative factors for BMD.

Objective: To compare the obstetric and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women in the adolescent age group with the outcomes of those in reproductive age group in our region. Materials and Methods: The outcomes of 539 adolescent pregnancies between the ages of 10-19 years and 644 adult pregnancies between the ages of 20-35 years who gave birth in Osmaniye State Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic between January 2013 and January 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The mean age of the adolescent group was determined as 17.60 ± 1.21, and the mean age of the adult group was detected as 26.77 ± 3.94. Compared to reproductive age group, in adolescent age group gestational diabetes mellitus (4.5%, 9.2%, respectively) and preterm birth (32.5%, 19.9%) incidence was detected to be significantly high (p<0.05). 1-minute and 5-minute APGAR scores were observed significantly low in adolescent age group. Conclusion: It is observed that adverse maternal and perinatal results are increased in pregnant women in adolescent age group compared to reproductive age group.
