    Early pregnancy after bariatric surgery: a single-institute preliminary experience
    (2020) Gunakan, Emre; Bulus, Hakan; Tohma, Yusuf Aytac; 0000-0001-9418-4733; 31840970; AAE-6482-2021
    Background/aim: Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is an issue of growing importance with increasing number of women undergoing bariatric surgery. Therefore, in this study we present patients who conceived after sleeve gastrectomy and evaluate the obstetric outcomes. Materials and methods: This retrospective case-control study includes 23 women who conceived after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Patients were evaluated in two groups according to the number of months between surgery and conception (group 1: <= 12 months; group 2: >12 months). Results: The mean body mass index of patients before surgery and at the time of conception was 46.6 kg/m(2) and 29.7 kg/m(2), respectively. Nine patients (39.1%) had a history of infertility. There was no statistical difference between groups 1 and 2 for haemoglobin, ferritin, and 25-OH Vit-D levels or maternofoetal complication rates and pregnancy outcomes. Enteral nutrition requirements and intravenous iron replacement needs were higher in group 1, although this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Pregnancy in the first years after sleeve gastrectomy seems to have similar obstetric outcomes compared to pregnancies occurring later, but it remains a controversial issue. Although the results did not have statistical significance in our study, well-designed prospective series may determine the role of enteral nutrition and intravenous iron replacement in patient management.

    Pregnancy of patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: maternal and neonatal outcomes
    (2020) Kalayci, Hakan; Durdag, Gulsen Dogan; Baran, Safak Yilmaz; Simsek, Seda Yuksel; Alemdaroglu, Songul; Ozdogan, Serdinc; Kilicdag, Esra Bulgan; 0000-0003-4335-6659; 0000-0002-0942-9108; 0000-0002-5064-5267; 0000-0001-5874-7324; 0000-0002-1767-1527; 31397144; AAK-7016-2021; AAI-8400-2021; ABF-6439-2020; AAK-8872-2021; AAI-9594-2021
    Objective: Thrombocytopenia occurs in 7% of pregnant women. Along with other causes, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), which is an autoimmune disease with autoantibodies causing platelet destruction, must be considered in the differential diagnosis. Antiplatelet antibodies can cross the placenta and cause thrombocytopenia in the newborn. The aim of our study was to assess the management of ITP in pregnancy, and to investigate neonatal outcomes. Material and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary center including 89 pregnant patients with ITP followed between October 2011 and January 2018. Patients were evaluated in two groups according to diagnoses of ITP and chronic ITP. Age, obstetric history, ITP diagnosis, and follow-up period, presence of splenectomy, platelet count during pregnancy and after birth, treatment during pregnancy, route of delivery, weight and platelet count of newborn, sign of hemorrhage, and fetal congenital anomaly were assessed. Results: Considering the ITP and chronic ITP groups, no significant difference was seen with respect to parity, timing of delivery, preoperative and postoperative platelet counts, and hemoglobin values. Route of delivery, birth weight, APGAR scores, newborn platelet count, and congenital anomaly rates were also similar. The timing of treatment was different because patients whose diagnoses were established during pregnancy were mostly treated for preparation of delivery. Treatment modalities were similar. Conclusion: Probability of severe thrombocytopenia at delivery is higher in patients with ITP who are diagnosed during pregnancy when compared with patients who received prepregnancy diagnoses. ITP is an important disease for both the mother and newborn. Patients should be followed closely in cooperation with the hematology department.

    HBsAg, Anti-HBs and Anti-HCV Seropositivity Rates among Pregnant Women Attending a University Hospital in Zonguldak
    (2015) Aynioglu, Aynur; Aynioglu, Oner; Akar, Tarik; Aydin, Mehtap; Altunok, Elif Sargin
    Objective: To explore the HBV and HCV seroprevalence rates among pregnant women attending the Obstetric Outpatient Unit at the Medical Faculty of Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University and to provide contributory data to the already existing data from the other geographical regions of Turkey. Materials and Methods: HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HCV seropositivity rates were retrospectively investigated among a total of 1084 pregnant women attending the Obstetric Outpatient Unit at the Medical Faculty of Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University between January 2012 and January 2014 Serum assays were performed using a chemiluminescence immunoassay method according the manufacturer's instructions (Cobas e 411 Analyzer, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Statistical analyses of the study data were performed using SPSS 18.0 software package (SPSS Inc., Chicago IL, USA). Results: The mean age of the 1084 pregnant participants was 29.12 +/- 5.48 years (min: 17, max: 46 y) and the average gestational age was 10.7 +/- 4.64 weeks. HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HCV detection rates were 4% (n= 43), 7.3% (n= 79), and 0.6% (n= 7), respectively. With regard to age groups, HBsAg was positive in 3.1%, 3.7%, 4.4%, and 5.9% of the women who were below 20 years of age, between 21 and 30 years of age, between 31 and 40 years of age, and over 40 years of age, respectively. Conclusion: While similar rates of seroprevalence for HBsAg and anti-HCV were found as compared to the previous reports from Turkey, anti-HBs positivity rates were lower than that in most of the previous reports.
