“…The results of the present study showed that the global prevalence of self-medication among pregnant women in the world is 44.55% although the results show a high heterogeneity. This rate is similar to the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis that investigated self-medication among Iranian pregnant women (38.46%) (27). Despite the prevalence of self-medication being higher in pregnant women, due to the complications of pregnancy, Our results compared to the results of other studies showed that selfmedication in pregnant women was relatively low in comparison with other groups in general.…”

Background: Self-medication during pregnancy is of great interest. The use of drugs during pregnancy requires a careful reflection on the benefits to the mother and the risks to the fetus. It is a difficult medical situation for clinicians to select the drug because of the various pharmacokinetic and physiological changes encountered in pregnant women this study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of self-medication and associated factors in worldwide pregnant women by a systematic review and a meta-analysis of the published studies on self-medication during pregnancy. Methods: Searches were carried out at PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The quality of the studies and the risk of bias were analyzed using the Joanna Briggs Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies instrument. The extracted data were tabulated and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively through meta-analysis. Results: The overall prevalence of self-medication among pregnant women was 44.50% (95% CI: 38.92-50.23). The subgroup analysis has shown a difference in the prevalence of self-medication which is influenced by region, Income of countries, and study design. The Heterogeneity, assessed by the statistical test I2 varied from 96% to 99% and was statistically significant. The result of this funnel plot showed that the funnel plot was symmetry with p-value = 0.36, and there is no publication bias. Conclusion: The results obtained from this study showed that the prevalence of self-medication among pregnant women is relatively high. This requires effective measures and interventions to reduce self-medication. Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.aa.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=312333 ID=CRD42022312333.

“…Almost similar to our results, in a systematic review study in 2015, the prevalence of MetS in Iranian general population who were aged 18 years and over was reported 36.9% (95% CI: 32.7%–41.2%) according to ATP-III criteria. 8 The prevalence of MetS in the present study was higher than the study of Dalvand (29%) and lower than the study of Bahar (41%) 3 in the Iranian population 8,20 that this could be due to differences in their BMI, age ranges, cultures, lifestyle habits, socioeconomic status, and environmental factors.…”

Our investigation aimed at evaluating the relationship between metabolic syndrome, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the Rafsanjan cohort study (RCS). We used data obtained from the RCS, as a part of the prospective epidemiological research studies in Iran. In this cross-sectional research, 9895 participants from the baseline phase of RCS who completed medical questionnaire were included. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) defined using NCEP-ATP III criteria. The relationship between elevated serum liver enzymes levels even within the normal range and metabolic syndrome was evaluated by logistic regressions. The prevalence of MetS was 34.42% in the participants of study. The mean concentrations of AST, ALT, ALP, and GGT increased with increasing MetS components. After adjusting for all potential confounders, elevated serum concentrations of ALT, AST, GGT, and ALP even within the normal range were related with an increased odds of MetS. MetS was associated with increased levels of liver enzymes even within the normal range. These results indicated the potential for elevated liver enzymes as biomarkers for the possible presence of MetS.

“…According to this study, 35% (95CI: 30.5, 39), of pregnant women experienced intimate partner violence in the study areas. This finding is lower than any others studies conducted in developing countries like Ethiopia, for example study conducted in Iran 2022 which was 51.5% [ 27 ], among Afghani in Iran 2021 which was 56.6% [ 28 ], sofala, Mozambique 2019 which was (47.3%) [ 29 ], Debra Markos, northern Ethiopia 2019 (41.1%) [ 22 ]. This may be acceptable.…”

To ensure the best possible health conditions for both mother and fetus throughout pregnancy, skilled healthcare professionals provide antenatal care (ANC) to expectant mothers. Even though the introduction of antenatal care has reduced maternal mortality by 34% since 2002, some atypical behaviors, such as intimate partner violence, have had a significant impact on how often women seek out expert medical treatment during pregnancy. Hence, early identification of such risk factors is very important to decrease maternal mortality from preventable causes. To assess the prevalence and factors of intimate partner violence and associated factors among pregnant women at Arba Minch town, southern Ethiopia. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 403 mothers who were enrolled from December 1, 2022, to January 30, 2023. The total sample size was allocated proportionately to the number of women attending antenatal care at each public health facility. Thus, systematic sampling was applied. Kobo Toolbox was used for data collection and cleaning, which was then analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 26. Statistical significance was determined at a p-value of less than 0.05. In this study area, the prevalence of intimate partner violence among pregnant women was 35% (95% CI: 30.5–39). The associated factors of intimate partner violence were late initiation of antenatal care (AOR = 3.81, 95% CI: 1.7, 6.04), non-autonomous women (AOR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.18, 3.14), inadequate antenatal utilization (AOR = 3.41, 95% CI: 1.8, 6.2), and a husband with an extra wife (AOR = 6.0, 95% CI: 4.2, 10.57).This study showed that more than one-third of pregnant women in this study area were facing intimate partner violence. Having extra wife, lack of women’s autonomy, less antenatal care utilization and late initiation of antenatal care were associated with Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Therefore, it is essential to greatly empower women and provide them significant prestige in the home.
