Lipid Profile Changes in Pregnant Women with Pre-Eclampsia and Their Correlation with Severety of Pre-Eclampsia

Background: Psychiatric symptoms are common during pregnancy, potentially leading to an increased risk of adverse birth outcomes. Studies assessing the impact of depression and/or anxiety on adverse birth outcomes in Iraq are currently lacking. This study aims to determine whether depression and/or anxiety is independently associated with preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW). Methods: A prospective cohort study included 352 pregnant women from outpatient clinics of Al-Yarmouk hospital and private clinics in Baghdad, Iraq from March 2021 to February 2022 using a convenience sampling. They were screened for depression using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) during pregnancy and followed up to assess adverse birth outcomes. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine predictors associated with adverse birth outcomes. Results: The prevalence of PTB and LBW was 7.7% and 11.6%, respectively. After adjustment of all potential sociodemographic, clinical and obstetric confounders, depression was independently associated with giving birth to LBW neonate (odd ratio (OR):3.64; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.70, 7.79), but not PTB. Prevalence of LBW in depressed was 21.2% compared to 7.7% for non-depressed. LBW was also associated with a history of LBW and PTB. In contrast, anxiety did not seem to affect birth outcomes. Conclusion: Depression during pregnancy, regardless of the trimester, is independently associated with a higher likelihood of giving birth to LBW neonates (OR: 3.64; 95% CI 1.70, 7.79). Effective interventions that target maternal depression are vital to decrease morbidity and mortality associated with LBW.

Background; Due to the complicated etiology of cardiovascular illnesses, a thorough risk assessment is necessary for screening reasons. Many published studies relate the pregnancy complications and future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Objective; Investigate the association between risk factors of the laboratory measures and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) with level of cardiovascular disorders risk. Methods; Adult women were enrolled in a cross-sectional study, and they were divided into 2 groups according to whether they had a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes or not. Laboratory and clinical measurements were carried out, and The CVD risk was calculated according to Framingham risk score. Results; All women enrolled were over 40 years age, mostly obese, had predominantly A+ve and O+ve blood group phenotypes. As compared to the low risk category, women with a positive history of pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia were 7.5 times more likely to be in the intermediate group while those with a positive history of stillbirth were 17.2 times more likely to be in the high-risk group. Conclusion; With reference to the low risk category, a positive history of pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia was predictor for intermediate CVD risk, while a positive history of stillbirth was predictor for high CVD risk.
