Arteriovenous Malformation Hemorrhage in Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Hemorrhage of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare condition during pregnancy. This study was proposed to pool the proportion of AVM hemorrhage per pregnancy. A systematic review and meta-analysis with three databases were performed to review the studies published until April 2022. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used for risk assessment of data quality. The meta-analysis was conducted by a generic inverse variance of double arcsine transformation with a random model using Stata software. Twelve studies were included in this review. The pooled proportion of AVM hemorrhage per pregnancy was 0.16 (95% CI: 0.08, 0.26). The subgroup analyses were carried out based on world regions and study designs, and the study duration with the highest proportion of each subgroup was Europe [0.35 (95% CI: 0.02, 0.79)], with retrospective review [0.18 (95% CI: 007, 0.32)] and 10 to 20 years of study duration [0.37 (95% CI: 0.06, 0.77)]. The AVM hemorrhage per pregnancy in this review was considered low. However, the conclusion must be carefully interpreted since this review had a small study limitation.

An Unusual Cause of Neck Pain and Headache in Pregnancy

“…The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine, Memphis, TN, USA with more common etiologies of headache during pregnancy, 3 spinal AVMs often present with worse clinical symptoms. 4 Spinal AVMs often cause myelopathic symptoms, such as lower extremity weakness, loss of pain and temperature sensation, and bladder and bowel incontinence.…”

“…1 Spinal AVMs comprise 3-4% of intradural lesions occupying the spinal cord. 2 Although similar in their pathology to intracranial AVMs, which can present with nonspecific symptoms and may be confused with more common etiologies of headache during pregnancy, 3 spinal AVMs often present with worse clinical symptoms. 4 Spinal AVMs often cause myelopathic symptoms, such as lower extremity weakness, loss of pain and temperature sensation, and bladder and bowel incontinence.…”

Progress about the fibro-adipose vascular anomaly: A review

“…Arteriovenous malformation is an abnormal vascular lesion composed of blood vessels of various sizes, with 1 or more direct connections between arterial and venous circulation. [ 22 ] The clinical manifestations are mainly characteristic pulsation, tremor, temperature increase in the lesion, local pain, ulceration or repeated bleeding. Severe cases due to long-term hemodynamic abnormalities can lead to heart failure.…”

Identifikasi Bakteri Dari Sampel Darah Pasien COVID-19 Di RSUD Ciawi Kabupaten Bogor

“…Hasil ini tidak jauh berbeda dengan yang dilaporkan oleh (22) yang menyebutkan bahwa Sedangkan S. hominis dan S. epidermidis yang dikelompokkan menjadi Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CoNS), merupakan isolat bakteri Gram positif (GPB) yang paling dominan di antara sampel non-pernapasan. Yusof dkk melporkan prevalensi gabungan bakteri terisolasi dari berbagai sampel pasien COVID-19 untuk A. baumannii adalah 23,25%, E. coli adalah 10,51%, K. pneumoniae adalah 15,24%, P. aeruginosa adalah 11,09% dan S. aureus 11,59% (23). Kelompok bakteri Staphylococcus pada kultur darah banyak ditemukan S. hominis.…”
