“…Recent studies show that over one‐third of pregnant women in the United States used one or more CAM therapies in the previous year 39 . The prevalence of CAM use among Scottish, French, and Canadian women with NVP or HG is 63% (Pallivalappila et al 22 ), 50.4% (Dochez et al 40 ), and 61.2% (Hollyer et al 25 ), respectively. Although there is no study on the prevalence of CAM use among pregnant women with HG in Turkey, most participants (84%) in this study stated that they used at least one modality of CAM during pregnancy.…”

Aim This study investigated the association between quality of life and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum in Turkey. Methods This cross‐sectional descriptive study was conducted between October 2017 and July 2018 in Turkey. The sample consisted of 240 pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum. Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form, the Index of Nausea, Vomiting, Retching, and the 36‐item Short‐Form Health Survey. Results The majority (84.2%) of participants stated that they used CAM, mostly “biologically based therapies” (97.5%). They were most satisfied with the “mental and physical treatments” (3.71 ± 1.74). Participants who did not use CAM had a higher quality of life “emotional role” than those who used CAM (p = 0.038). However, there were no statistically significant differences in the other quality of life subscale scores between the two groups. Conclusion There is limited evidence for the association between quality of life and CAM use in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum in Turkey. Therefore, more evidence‐based research is warranted to evaluate the association between CAM use and quality of life in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum.

“…We used the Japanese version 29 of the 24‐item Pregnancy‐Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE‐24), 30 which is a self‐reported measure of nausea and vomiting in the last 24 h. The PUQE‐24 consists of three items (nausea, vomiting, and retching) with a 5‐point Likert scale. Based on the INV, 17 the original PUQE 18 measured the daily number of vomiting episodes, duration of nausea in hours per day, and number of retching episodes per 12 h. Ebrahimi et al 30 modified the scale to measure symptoms over the last 24 h. The PUQE is widely used in many countries 21,31–34 …”

The NVP QOL Questionnaire: Psychometric properties of the self‐report measure of health‐related quality of life for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy

Aim: The Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy Quality of Life (NVP QOL) Questionnaire is a self-report measure of health-related QOL for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.This study determines the best fitting factor structure for the NVP QOL Questionnaire and explores its measurement invariance in terms of observation time and parity.Methods: A test-retest study of pregnant women was conducted at Gestational Weeks (GWs) 10-13 (T1: N = 381) and 1 week later (T2: n = 128) at one hospital and five clinics with the NVP QOL and the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to compare different factor structure models and evaluate measurement invariance of the best fitting model between two time points and between primiparas and multiparas.Concurrent validity of the NVP QOL was clarified by correlations with the PUQE, Sheehan Disability Scale, and other scales. Results:The one-factor model had the best fit. This factor structure model was acceptable up to the factor invariance level for two time points and up to the factor mean level for primiparas versus multiparas. Correlations between NVP QOL, PUQE, and Sheehan Disability Scale scores were strong. Women with higher NVP QOL scores were more likely to lose weight, have lower daily fluid intake, have reduced fluid and food intake since pregnancy began, and receive outpatient or inpatient treatment. Conclusion:The one-factor structure and measurement invariance of the NVP QOL at different times and parities were demonstrated, suggesting that the NVP QOL can be used to evaluate primiparas and multiparas in a longitudinal study.

“…There are 2 confounding factors that affect the sleep pattern either nauseating pregnant women want to sleep most of the day and night or it may be considered a side effect of antiemetics like antihistamines [10]. As a result of that, the authors summarized that the 24-hour model is valid to assess the severity of NVP in the first trimester [11].…”

Nausea and vomiting are common in pregnancy and the condition may be mild or severe disabling disease. The severe form is known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) which is characterized by dehydration, electrolyte and metabolic imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies that may cause hospital admission. The severity of Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy (NVP) may be assessed by Pregnancy Unique Qualification of Emesis (PUQE) which showed a relatively accurate evaluation of the patient's lifestyle including sleeping hours. Focused history and examination are needed to exclude differential diagnosis because the diagnosis of this condition is mainly determined clinically. Moreover, lab investigations are useful tools to assess complications as electrolyte or metabolic imbalances and renal affection. Besides, they help in determine etiologies in refractory cases. Many theories have been hypothesized to contribute to understanding the pathogenesis of HG. They have been postulated based on associations which are either causal, sequential or coincidental. Many efforts are needed to accurately establish these relationships in terms of well-designed studies of adequate sample size. The hormonal theory is one of the main theories involved in the pathogenesis of the disease specifically human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), estrogen, progesterone, and serotonin. Psychological theory has conflicting evidencebased studies. Therefore, more studies are needed to decide whether psychological problems cause HG or this is a coincidental or sequential relationship. The immunological theory is newly defined and supported by high levels of cellfree fetal DNA and cytokines.

Validation of specific questionnaires to assess nausea and vomiting of pregnancy in a French population

Abstract: The modified-PUQE and NVP-QOL scores provided valid indices for assessing NVP severity and alterations in quality of life. Owing to its simplicity, the modified-PUQE score might be used routinely among women experiencing NVP in the first trimester of pregnancy.
