List a DDx for hypoxemia

4 most likely causes in a pregnant woman: - Asthma - Pneumonia - Pulmonary edema (cardiogenic or noncardiogenic) - Pulmonary embolism

Power analysis components

4 variables: 1) Alpha (preset) 2) Beta (preset) 3) Sample size (usually solving for n) 4) Effect size (established from literature)

Umbilical artery Doppler

40% of fetal CO goes to placenta Placenta is a low resistance vascular bed UA carries blood toward the placenta Impedance decreases w/ gestation

Prader-Willi Syndrome

"Prader no father" Results from maternal uniparental disomy (2 maternal genes, absent paternal genes)

Cystic fibrosis

> 1700 mutations in the CFTR gene Different mutations assoc w/ varying severity of disease - Specific genotype - phenotype correlations - Some mutations do not cause CF (chronic pancreatitis, male infertility with congenital absence of vas deferens) Carrier frequency in norther European: 1:25 - Most common mutation deltaF508 Carrier freq in Ashkenazi Jewish 1:24 - W128x is most common mutation causing classic CF in this group. Clinical presentations of CF: - Respiratory: pulm disease - Exocrine: Pancreas, malabsorption - GI: meconium ilesus (20% newborns) - Liver: disease, focal biliary cirrhosis - Fertility: male azospermia. Most women are fertile

receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve

A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve is a way to compare diagnostic tests. It is a plot of the true positive rate against the false positive rate Sensitivity = true positive rate (want to be high) <> Sens = Y axis 1- specificity = 1 minus the true negative rate = false positive rate, want LOW <> False positive rate = X axis When asked a question recommend drawing a X and Y axis to visualize. You want the most upper left on the graph to have the largest area under the curve. GOAL is for highest sensitivity (true positives, the y-axis) and lowest false positives (100-sp, the x-axis) So, the x-axis - False positive rate = 1 - specificity (aka 1 - the true negative rate) The y axis - True positive rate = sensitivity Picture: Method 4 has the highest sensitivity and specificity

Explaining Errors

A Type I error occurs when I show that there is a difference in my sutdy when in reality there is not ("False positive") - Alpha typically set at 5% (ie p-value of 0.05), meaning I accept a 5% chance of finding an effect when one does not exist (that is a 5% chance my results are due to chance) A Type II error occurs when I show thre is no difference in my study when in reality there is ("False negative) - When no difference if found, I need to know if my study had adequate power. - Because Power = 1 - beta (an beta is aka Type II error) <> If the type II error is 10% then the statistical power is 90% <> if the type II error is 20% then statistical power is 80% - Beta (20%) + poster (80%) = 100% - Type II error (20%) + statistical power (80%) = 100%

Wilcoxon Rank Sum / Mann-Whitney U

A Wilcoxon Rank Sum or Mann-Whitney U test is used to determined if the MEDIANS of 2 groups are different. - Counterpart to the t-test for NONPARAMETRIC data (not normally distributed) - Accounts for outliers Wilcoxon: Paired (like-test): The observations come from the same subject at 2 different times. Mann Whitney: Unpaired (like Student t-test): compares medians from two different subjects

High or total spinal

A circulatory as well as a respiratory emergency. Ventilate first and don't panic Put mask on face and assist ventilation Assume accompanying hypotension. Give ephedrine or neo as you reach for mask Check BP, but all that really matters is ventilation and a good pulse. Ventilation trumps intubation. Ventilation even trumps aspiration. (usually do not have to intubate) Respiratory paralysis usually does not last long (5-15 minutes)

Trinucleotide expansion repeat: CVS vs Amnio - is one preferred

Amniocentesis is preferred. Methylation testing is not reliable on CVS(placental) samples

Case 18y G1 at 17w5d presents to the office for platelets of 66. What is your DDx? What is your initial workup for this patient?

DDx: - Gestational thrombocytopenia - Preeclampsia] - Platelet clumping - ITP - SLE - APLS - TTP/HUS - Infectious (HIV, HepC) - Medication exposure Work-up: - H&P (BP, splenomegaly) - Review medications - BP - Viral serologies - CBC blood smear will assess for pancytopenia and the smear can rule out clumping as low platelets could be pseudo-thrombocytopenia. I do not routinely perform assays for platelet associated antibodies ro antiplatelet antibodies as they are non-specific and vary by labs. GT and ITP are not differentiated based on this testing. - If medical disorders nd drugs are ruled out, the pt likely has GT or ITP. I generally say that if seen in 1st trimester, not likely to be GT. If numbers below 100k, likely ITP. If <50K, almost certainly ITP - If sudden 3rd tri onset, i would think preeclampsia, TTP, HUS, AFLP or DIC, but ITP can do this as well.

Case 27Y G1 at 22w is referred for a platelet count of 75. Remaining CBC is normal. What is your DDx? What is your initial workup for this patient?

Case 22y G1 presents to your office at 14w. She was referred by her primary OB for a positive hep B screen The patient is from Thailand an reports being jaundice as a child. She denies any history of blood transfusions and has no symptoms. What is your inital workup?

H&P Hepatitis panel Hepatitis B panel Assess liver function

Case 24y G1 presents to your clinic w/ a positive HIV screening test. She is currently 14w pregnancy. What is you initial workup and plan of management?

H&P Pregnancy Outcomes with HIV (Williams OB 24th ed) - Maternal HIV infection has also been associated with fetal-growth restriction, preeclampsia, and preterm membrane rupture Initial Evaluation (Williams OB 24th ed) - Standard prenatal laboratory surveys that include serum creatinine, hemogram, and bacteriuria screening - Plasma HIV RNA quantification—"viral load," CD4+ T-lymphocyte count, and antiretroviral resistance testing - Serum hepatic aminotransferase levels - HSV-1 and -2, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, and hepatitis C serology screening - Baseline chest radiograph - Tuberculosis skin testing—purified protein derivative (PPD) or interferon-gamma release assay - Evaluation of need for pneumococcal, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, Tdap, and influenza vaccines - Sonographic evaluation to establish gestational age. Serial Laboratory Assessment (Williams OB 24th ed) - CD4+ T-lymphocyte count, HIV RNA viral load measurement, complete blood count, and liver function tests are done 4 weeks after beginning or changing therapy to assess response and exclude toxicity. Thereafter, HIV RNA viral loads are measured monthly until RNA levels are undetectable. CD4 T-lymphocyte and HIV RNA levels can then be measured every trimester. Indications of Antibiotic Prophylaxis (Williams OB 24th ed) - If the CD4+ T-cell count is < 200/mm3, primary prophylaxis for Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly P carinii) pneumonia is recommended with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim or dapsone. PPROM in the setting of HIV - Although an increased risk of perinatal transmission has been associated with membrane rupture in the past, recent analyses in the setting of combination antiviral therapy have not found this to be a risk factor with an HIV viral load < 1000 copies/mL (Cotter AM, Brookfield KF, Duthely LM, et al: Duration of membrane rupture and risk of perinatal transmission of HIV-1 in the era of combination antiretroviral therapy. Am J Obstet Gynecol 207:482.e1, 2012) Route of Delivery - HIV RNA viral load > 1000 copies/mL then cesarean section. - HIV RNA viral load < 1000 copies/mL then vaginal delivery preferred. Intrapartum Antiretroviral Therapy (Williams OB 24th Ed) - Zidovudineis given intravenously during labor and delivery to women with an HIV RNA viral load > 400 copies/mL or who have an unknown viral load near delivery (Panel on Treatment of HIV-Infected Pregnant Women and Prevention of Perinatal Transmission, 2012). A 2 mg/kg load is infused over 1 hour followed by zidovudine 1 mg/kg/hr until delivery. Vertical Transmission Risk (Williams OB 24th ed) - Maternal HAART treatment along with intrapartum zidovudine prophylaxis has dramatically reduced the perinatal HIV transmission risk from approximately 25% to 2% or less. Breastfeeding (Williams OB 24th ed) - Vertical transmission is increased by breast feeding, and it generally is not recommended for HIV-positive women in the United States.

Systemic review

More than just a "lit search" Preferably use more than one database (have to publish search details about at least one) Contact authors for more details How to account for publication bias? How were studies chosen for inclusion/exclusion?

Von Willebrand Disease Type I

Most common (70%) Autosomal dominant Quantitative deficiency of von Willebrand factor Clinically see mild to moderately severe bleeding symptoms No increases in maternal or fetal mortality in pregnancy Increase risk for hemorrhage vWF levels increase in 2nd and 3rd trimester (2-3x baseline) and so often vWF patients can normalize their levels near end of pregnancy; this does not help to predict hemorrhage risk (vWF levels decrease at different rates postpartum typical to see hemorrhage 10-20 days postpartum). Desmopressin or vWF replacement therapy may be required at or after labor or even in the first 2-4 weeks postpartum depends on levels.

What is the DDx for echogenic bowel?

What is the risk of placenta accreta spectrum disorder based on cesarean section?

Placenta previa is associated with an increased risk of placenta accreta. This risk is quoted as 3%, 11%, 40%, 61%, 67% for first, second, third, forth and fifth cesarean deliveries respectively. Placenta accreta was present in 15 (0.24%), 49 (0.31%), 36 (0.57%), 31 (2.13%), 6 (2.33%), and 6 (6.74%) women undergoing their first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth or more cesarean deliveries, respectively The number of cesarean sections have been associated with an increased risk of placenta accreta. In the absence of placenta previa the risks remains less than 1% until the fourth cesarean section (2.13%).

Moderate to severe oxygenation impairment according to P/F ratio (<300) ===================================================== P/F ratio determines degree of intrapulmonary shunt (PaO2/FiO2) x 100 = P/F ratio Normal person: (100mmHg/21%) x 100 = 476 In ARDS the P/F ratio is <300, indicating severe difficulty delivery oxygen - Mild ARDS: P/F 200-300 w/ PEEP or CPAP ≥5mmHg - Moderate ARDS: P/F 100-200 w/ PEEP ≥5mmHg - Severe ARDS: P/F ≤100 w/ PEEP ≥5mmHg Higher numbers reflect better oxygenation

What is a case control study?

Retrospective ONLY Disease/outcome defined from beginning (start with DISEASE/OUTCOME) - Groups should be the same except for disease/outcome Group 1: with disease/outcome Group 2: without disease/outcome Look back at exposures to see if there is a difference in exposures Reported as Odds Ratios (OR) *** You start with what is rare when designing a study, If the outcome is rare then you perform a Case-Control***

Design a study to determine if gestational diabetes and fetal macrosomia are increased with steroid use in pregnancy.

Retrospective cohort study You cannot do a case-control study with more than one outcome.

Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)

Randomization - Blocks? Permuted blocks? - Who does it? How is ti released? Centralized randomization? Envelopes? - All have pros and cons w/ respect to reducing tampering w/ randomization Blinding - Singe blind? Double blind? What about safety? Trial design - Parallel? Crossover?

What does AUC of 0.75 mean?

The translates to a grade of C: the test performs fair It means the test has a 75% ability to distinguish between the 2 groups

Type I and Type II erros

Type I error: - I show that there is a difference in my study when in reality there is not "false positive." - Typical is to tolerate a 5% type I error, that is results having a 5% probability (or a 1 in 20 chance) of occurring by chance). Type II error: - I show there is no difference in my study when in reality there is one ("False Negative") - When do difference is found, I need to know if my study had adequate power - If the type II error is 10% then the statistical power is 90% If the type II error is 20% then the statistical power is 80% - Typical is a goal of at least 80% statistical power, meaning an 80% probability of showing a difference if indeed the hypothesis is true, so accepting a type II error of 20%. - Power = 1 - beta - Beta (20%) + Statistical Power (80%) = 100%

Crohn's disease

Type of inflammatory bowel disease Caused by environmental and genetic factor; risk of child having can be 2-5% can see a chromosomal link Recommend women to plan pregnancies when they are generally in remission. Important to stop smoking Treatment: Medical treatment of IBD in pregnancy: Aminosalicylates (eg. Sulfasalazine or mesalamine), are usually considered first-line therapies in pregnancy. Corticosteroids are also appropriate is necessary. Medications which are probably safe but have limited data include azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, cyclosporine, metronidazole, anti-tumor necrosis factors drugs and loperamide. Methotrexate and thalidomide are avoided in pregnancy.

Alpha

Typically set at 0.05 Type 1 error Likelihood of finding a difference when none exists False positive Reasons for Type 1 error: - Chance - Bias If the p-value is 0.04, what does this mean? [] The likelihood that your results are due to chance are 4%. the likelihood of finding a difference when not exists is 4%

Beta value

Typically set at 0.2 Power = 1 - beta (0.2) - translates to 80% power Type 2 error Failing to find a difference when one exists - False negative Reasons for Type 2 error: - Small sample size - Miscalculated effect size What happens to sample size if you change Beta to 0.1? - You will need a larger sample size

Fetal Growth Restriction: SMFM Consult Series summary

- FGR = EFW or AC <10th percentile - Recommend the use of population-based fetal growth references (such as Hadlock) in determining fetal weight percentiles - Do not use LMWH to prevent FGR (sole indication) - Do not use sildenafil or activity restriction to tx FGR - Detailed OB US exam (CPT code 76811) with early-onset FGR (<32w) since up to 20% of cases are associated with fetal or chromosomal abnormalities. - Offer fetal diagnostic testing, including chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), when FGR is detected and a fetal malformation, polyhydramnios, or both are also present, regardless of GA. - Offer prenatal diagnostic testing with CMA when unexplained isolated FHR is diagnosed < 32w. - Do not test for toxo, rubella or HSV in the absence of other risk factors and recommend PCR for CMV in women with unexplained FHR who elect diagnostic testing with amniocentesis - Surveillance: umbilical artery Doppler every 1 to 2 weeks to assess for deterioration. - Umb art Doppler 1x/w with elevated Pi(>95th%), EFW <3rd percentile - We recommend Doppler assessment up to 2 to 3 times per week when umbilical artery absent end-diastolic velocity (AEDV) is detected due to the potential for deterioration and development of reversed end-diastolic velocity (REDV). - In the setting of REDV, we recommend hospitalization, administration of antenatal corticosteroids, heightened surveillance with cardiotocography (CTG) at least 1 to 2 times per day, and considerations of delivery depending on the entire clinical picture and results of additional evaluation of fetal well-being. - We suggest against the use of Doppler assessment of the ductus venosus, middle cerebral artery, or uterine artery for routine clinical management of early- or late-onset FGR. - We recommend weekly CTG testing after viability for FGR without A/REDV, and that frequency be increased when FHR is complicated by A/REDV or other comorbidities or risk factors. - FGR and elevated SD, RI, PI (>95th%ile) or EFW <3rd%ile regardless of Dopplers: delivery at 37w - FGR and AEDF: delivery 33-34w - FGR and REDV: delivery 30-32w - FGR 3rd-10th%ile and normal Dopplers: delivery 38-39w - PI = (peak systolic velocity - minimal diastolic velocity) / (mean velocity) - Consider CS if FGR with A/REDV - Antenatal corticosteroids if delivery is <33w6d OR between 34w0d and 36w6d in steroid naiive with not prior history of steroids - MgSO4 < 32 weeks of gestation in whom delivery is likely.

Case: 26Y G1 presents at 30w1d with complaints of leaking clear fluid. What is your workup

- H&P - SSE and AVOID SVE as this can incrase infection. I am evaluating for cervicitis, cord prolapse, fetal parts, dilation/effacement, collect cultures and to asseess for pooling - I can perform a nitrazine test to assess the pH of pooling noted, as amniotic fluid is more basice 7-7.3 (vaginal secretions in teh vagina 3.8-4.2); i am aware that I cans see a false positive from blood, semen, soap, BV or a false negative if ruptured fora long time an dnot much fluid. - I can assess for fernig (arborizatio) with fluid from fornix (must let dry for 10 min) - Amnisure can detect placental alpha microglubulin-1 protein (drom decidua of placenta): sterile swab in vagina x1min; some tests with high false positive rates of up to 30%. These are considered ancillary. - Indigo carmine: 1 mL in 9ML of NS injected vis US guidance; remove tampon 1/2h later; will turns mom's urine blue too. - fFN is Sn but not specific, and if negative strongly supports intact membranes, yet positive results are not diagnostic.

- HIV - Hepatitis panel - CMP - CBC - Gonorrhea/Chlamydia screening - Pap smear - RPR - Possibly screen for TB - Discuss if heroin was IV or inhaled and consider ECHO if warranted.

How do you properly measure the cervical length?

- I ensure the pts bladder is empty, verify the prove has been properly cleaned and has a probe cover - The prove is then inserted into the vagina, guided toward the anterior fornix - I then obtain a sagittal view of the entire cervix. The prove within be removed slightly, until the image appears blurred, and then reinsert until the image clears, focusing on not placing too much pressure on the cervix - The image of the cervix should take up two thirds of the screen. Within this view the internal and external os must be visualized. - Measurement will be performed along the endocervical canal, between the internal and the external os. - This measurement will be repeated for a total of 3 cervical length assessments, and the shortest measurement will be reported. - If the cervix is curved, 2 more linear measurements are performed and the values are added together. I would not trace the cervical length. - Application of mild suprapubic or fundal pressure should be applied for appox 15 seconds to evaluate for an funneling. While there is pressure begin applied, i would reduce the prove pressure. 3 measurements are taken and again the shortest is the most accurate. - Total time of the exam should be 3-5 minutes -CLEAR certification

Case: 23Y G2P0010 (prior 1st trimester SAB) presented for an anatomy US to your office at 20w. Normal fetal anatomy is noted. On routine vaginal cervical screening her cervical length is noted to be 1.1cm w/ funneling. The patient inquires about a cerclage, as she heard it is the best treatment for women with a short cervix. How do you respond?

- I would assess her cervix (SSE/SVE) - I would then review with her the indications for cerclage (see picture) - If she does not meet any of the above criteria, i would inform her she is not a cerclage candidate

Case: A 23y G2P0101 presented for an anatomy US at 19w. It is her 1st prenatal visit. He prior delivery was at 27w due to preterm labor. Normal fetal anatomy is noted. On routine transvaginal cervical screening her cervical length is noted to be 1.1cm w/ funneling. You place a cerclage at 19w6d. If this patient had presented to your office as a preconception visit after her first delivery (that is, she is a G1P0101), how would you counsel her about management in a future pregnancy?

- I would discuss serial cervical length assessments, starting at 16 weeks, continuing until approximately 24 weeks - I would offer her 17OHP, weekly, to begin at 16020w and to continue until 36w - If a cervical length less than 2.5cm was noted prior to 24w, I would discuss cerclage placement.

- I would review her OB and GYN history in detail - I would assess her cervix (SSE/SVE) - I would then review the indications for cerclage (see picture) - As she meets criteria (3) for cerclage, I woudl offer her a cerclage - 17OHP, weekly (prefer to starte 16-20w)

Case: A 23y G2P0101 presented for an anatomy US at 19w. It is her 1st prenatal visit. He prior delivery was at 27w due to preterm labor. Normal fetal anatomy is noted. On routine transvaginal cervical screening her cervical length is noted to be 1.1cm w/ funneling. You place a cerclage at 19w6d. Would your counseling be different if she presented as a preconception visit after her 2nd pregnancy (that is, she had a 27w PTD followed by a pregnancy that showed a short cervix at 19w requiring a cerclage, ultimately delivery at term)?

- I would still offer her 17OHP, but I would discuss a history-indicated cerclage with her.

Describe the antenatal late preterm steroids (ALPS) trial

- In women w/ a singleton pregnancy between 34w0d to 36w6d who are at risk for PTD in the next 7 days, WHO HAVE NOT RECIEVED STEROIDS PRIOR, I will consider administration of betamethasone 12mg IM x2 dosese, 24 hours apart - In those w/ PPROM, I can administer betamethasone and wait for IOL until the steroid course is completed, I would not administer tocolytics during that time. - I do not administer betamethasone after 34w in women who have previously received betamethasone in the pregnancy. - I will not delay an indicated delivery after 34w to administer late preterm steroids

You want to assess the relationship between a protein associated w/ preeclampsia. Out of the 500 women tested, 100 had preeclampsia and the test was positive in 90 of them. Of those without preeclampsia, the test was positive in 40. Determine the following: - Sensitivity - Specificity - PPV - NPV

- Sensitivity: 90 / 90+10 = 90/100 = 90% - Specificity: 360 / 360+40 = 360/400 = 90% - PPV: 90/90+40 = 90/130 = 69.2% - NPV: 360/360+10 = 360/370 = 97.2%

Case 24y G1 with HIV. She presents at 35w and wants to know what her plan is for labor and delivery. How do you counsel her?

- She should continue her cART throughout labor - Avoid AROM, placement of FSE, and operative vaginal delivery - VL dictates route of delivery (see below) - Zidovudine (see below) - Baby immediately washed after delivery - Shecueld delivery at 38w0d if VL >1000 Route of Delivery - HIV RNA viral load > 1000 copies/mL then cesarean section. - HIV RNA viral load < 1000 copies/mL then vaginal delivery preferred. Intrapartum Antiretroviral Therapy (Williams OB 24th Ed) - Zidovudine is given intravenously during labor and delivery to women with an HIV RNA viral load > 400 copies/mL or who have an unknown viral load near delivery (Panel on Treatment of HIV-Infected Pregnant Women and Prevention of Perinatal Transmission, 2012). A 2 mg/kg load is infused over 1 hour followed by zidovudine 1 mg/kg/hr until delivery. Intrapartum and Postpartum management of persons with HIV (SMFM Checklist 2020) Labor or Preoperatively for Cesarean - Treat with zidovudine (ZDV) for at least 3 hours prior to delivery [1-hour intravenous loading dose (2 mg/dk), followed by continuous infusion over 2 hoursl (1 mg/kg/hr) until delivery] if viral load =1000 copies/mL (treatment can be considered if viral load is < 1000 copies/mL - Avoid scalp electrodes or internal fetal monitors - Ensure appropriate staff personal protective equipment is available and warn by all staff - Continue cART regimen Immediately After Delivery - Establish pathway for neonatal treatment within 12 hours of delivery - Avoid use of methergine or other ergotamines with protease inhibitors or cobicistat to avoid exaggerated vasoconstrictive responses. - Continue cART regimen Postpartum - Support formula feeding - Support neonatal follow-up medications and testing plan - Ensure reliable contraception with condoms - Discuss PrEP - Continue cART regimen - Ensure cervical cytology (Pap test) and HPV screening are up to date; refer to colposcopy if needed. - Ensure transition to long-term follow-up with Infectious disease specialist - Ensure transition to long-term follow-up with primary care provider

- There is insufficient data to perform continued cervical length screening as there are no other interventions available. However, If there is continued shortening of the cervix, particularly if <10mm, I could counsel the patient of a higher risk of PRB. For this reason, I would consideration further monitoring on a case by case basis. - SMFM recommends AGAINST routine cervical length screening for women w/ cerclage, multiples, PPROM, or previa.

Statistics: T-test

- compares mean values of a continuous variable (dependent) between 2 categories/groups, ex. comparing mean of a group to a specific value. Can also compare means of 2 groups. o Two-tailed = possibility of relationship in both directions, one-tailed = one direction. A paired t-test (also known as a dependent or correlated t-test) is a statistical test that compares the averages/means and standard deviations of two related groups to determine if there is a significant difference between the two groups. ● A significant difference occurs when the differences between groups are unlikely to be due to sampling error or chance. ● The groups can be related by being the same group of people, the same item, or being subjected to the same conditions. Paired t-tests are considered more powerful than unpaired t-tests because using the same participants or item eliminates variation between the samples that could be caused by anything other than what's being tested. An unpaired t-test (also known as an independent t-test) is a statistical procedure that compares the averages/means of two independent or unrelated groups to determine if there is a significant difference between the two. The key differences between a paired and unpaired t-test are summarized below. A paired t-test is designed to compare the means of the same group or item under two separate scenarios. An unpaired t-test compares the means of two independent or unrelated groups. In an unpaired t-test, the variance between groups is assumed to be equal. In a paired t-test, the variance is not assumed to be equal.

Case 20Y G1 at 16w presents for consultation regarding Crohn's disease in pregnancy. She was diagnosed at 14yrs of age and is currently taking weekly Humira (adalimumab) and as needed ibuprofen for arthralgias. She was intermittent diarrhea and constipation. Her diagnosis was made w/ a biopsy at time of colonoscopy. What are risk factors in pregnancy associated w/ Crohn's disease?

1st trimester SAB Preterm birth Low birth weight Possible assoc. w/ small for gestational age. Possible increase of congenital anomalies. The risk of flare is similar to the risk when they are not pregnant, which is approx. 30%. Most medications that are used can also be use din pregnancy and breastfeeding. [] Medications such as sulfasalazine or mesalamine are usually considered 1st line Patietns can typically avoid any surgical intervention unless they have massive hemorrhage or really bad colitis. They would typically have an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis as a surgical intervention.

Summary of GBS guidance changes

ACOG recommends performing universal GBS screening between 36w0d and 37w6d. It includes expanded recommendations regarding maangemetn and tx of women with a penicillin allergy, incluing a recommendation that lab requisitions for GBS cultures note a PCN allergy in the pt, when present, to ensure that the specimen is tested for clindamycin susceptibility. These recommendations also include considertion of PCN allergy skin testing in pts w/ a history of PCN allergy that is a low risk or unknown risk for anaphylaxis. Appropriate Abx regimens for intrapartum abx prophylaxis are reviewed, including wt-based dosage of vacomycin. Women with opresent in labor at 37w0d or more w unknown culture status in the current pregnancy but w/ known positive GBS colonization in a prior pregnancy are candidates for intrapartum abx prophylaxis

GBS and planned cesarean section

ACOG recommends that women planning cesarean birth should nonetheless undergo prenaal GBS culture at 36w0d-37w6d bc onset of labor or rupture of membranes may occur before the planned cesarean birth. Should a woman w/ a planned cesarean birth and a positive antepartum GBS culture present in active labor or with PROM before her scheduled delivery date, a single dose of antibiotic (or combination of antibiotics) that provides GBS prophylaxis and presurgical prophylaxis is appropriate. In most clinical situations, cefazolin will meet both of these criteria. Delaying the cesarean birth to administer dditional doses of abx for GBS prophylaxis along is not indicated.

How do you explain a confidence interval ?

An odds ratio tells you whether the odds in the intervention group are higher or lower than controls Confidence interval tells you how confident you can be about the result. If CI crosses 1, no difference exists between the groups. If the CI does not cross 1, then the groups are different, BUT the p-value tells you whether that difference is significant or not.

Board question: Do you do cell free DNA in twins?

Answer should be NO, routinely. Why?: - cfDNA from both infants and we cannot tell which twin has the positive result - Has not been fully clinically validated in twins

HIV

Antepartum management of gravidas with HIV (SMFM checklist 2020) First prenatal visit - Laboratory testing: [ ] Update HIV viral load [ ] CD4 T-lymphocyte cell count - Begin cART regimen that contains three active medications based on perinatal guidelines recommendations and/or consult with specialist - Do not wait for genotype results to start treatment - If HLA-B* 5701-positive, do not use abacavir - If G6PD deficiency present, do not use trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole for Pneumocystis jirovecii prophylaxis or treatment. - If currently on effective cART, continue the same treatment during pregnancy unless contraindicated - If CD4 T-lymphocyte count <200 copies/mL, begin prophylaxis against opportunistic infections. First and Second Trimesters - Recheck Cd4 T-lymphocyte cell count every 3 months - Every 6 months for patients with undetectable viral load and Cd4 count >200 copies/mL - Recheck viral load monthly until RNA levels are undetectable, then every 1-3 months thereafter - Recheck viral load 2-4 weeks after initiating (or changing) cART) - If failure of viral suppression is found: - Assess viral resistance if viral load remains >500 copies/mL with HIV genotype testing - Assess adherence - Consult an HIV treatment expert - Assess adherence and tolerance to cART at every patient visit - Address nausea or other barriers to adherence - Give vaccines if needed (pneumococcal, hepatitis A and B, influenza) - If on protease inhibitor-based regimen, consider early glucose screening Third Trimester [ ] Repeat screening for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia at 28-34w [ ] Reassess viral load at 34-36 weeks for delivery planning - If viral load is not suppressed, assess adherence and viral resistance [ ] Make a postpartum plan for cART [ ] Determine plan for contraception after delivery [ ] Discuss infant plan of care of pediatric infectious disease team for prophylaxis [ ] Make delivery plan including whether zidovudine will be used and route of delivery - If viral load is =1000 copies/mL at 37-38 weeks, schedule cesarean delivery at 38 weeks.

Sheehan syndrome

Anterior pituitary necrosis, classically attributed to postpartum hemorrhage. Low TSH with low fT4; low ACTH and cortisol Hypotension, hypoglycemia, weakness, nausea, amenorrhea, absence of lactation, muscle/joint pain. Replace glucocorticoids and thyroid hormone.

Genetic concept: Anticipation

Anticipation resutls in next generation having futher expansion with condition becoming earlier and more severe. Mechanism of expansion => slipped mispairing => mismatch => expansion of segment of DNA w/ repeat units = unstable repeat expansion Some conditions can expand more frequently depending on which parent the condition is inherited from.

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS): counseling

Approximately 0.22% (1/455) risk SAB (depends on operator/site) <> site specific risks Complications: <> Infection <1% <> Bleeding 32% TC <> Fluid leakage <1% <> Membrane rupture <> Culture failure <0.5% Confined placental mosaicism <> 1-2% of CVS samples

What does prevalence then change?

As prevalence increases, PPV will increase and NPV will decrease. Sens and Spec are NOT dependent of prevalence. Recall: Prevalence is a point preview, aka a proportion in a population w/ disease at a point in time. Example is: Number of NU residents w/ AIDS on 5.5.2015 divided by number of NY resident on 5.5.2015 based on prior census data. PROPORTION. Can do over period or just at one point in time (for denominator) and then for numerator would have a specific time for cases or a range for cases. Prevalence is from 0-1 or can be listed as a percent. So if the prevalence is 0.06, then 6% of the population being discussed have whatever is being discussed. 10 nurses with UTIs / 165 nurses - 10/165 = 0.06 = 6%, or 6.06 per 100

What is the most common arrhythmia in pregnanyc?

myasthenia gravis (MG) in pregnancy

Autoimmune disorder from abnormal T cell regulation and production of antibodies against acetylcholine receptor on the neuromuscular end plate of skeletal muscle Course of MG in pregnancy is variable; worsens in 41%; improved in 29%; unchanged in 30% (Batocchi et al., 1999). Increased risk of exacerbation in the first trimester and the peripartum period (30% risk), particularly when the diagnosis has been made within that past 1-2 years. Signs and symptoms of myasthenia crisis (eg, worsening muscle weakness, respiratory failure, worsening fatigue ) and when she should seek medical care. Course of her previous pregnancy(ies) or the severity of maternal disease does NOT correlate her outcome in the present pregnancy. Overall, the long-term course of the illness is not affected by the pregnancy. We also discussed that in the majority of individuals with sero-positive MG are found to have to have thymic hyperplasia (60-80%) or thymic tumors (21%) and an evaluation of the thymus if recommended (Mao et al., 2012). Timing and route of delivery should be reserved for standard obstetrical indications. Medications considered compatible with pregnancy include pyridostigmine, prednisone, prednisolone and IVIG. Other medications/treatment options include immunosuppression and plasma exchange, however, they are reserved for those who fail 1st line treatments. We discussed medications that have the potential to initiate MG exacerbations including narcotic analgesics, magnesium salts (magnesium sulfate, milks of magnesia), succinylcholine, antibiotics (AMINOGLYCOSIDES, MACROLIDES, fluoroquinolones), quinine, BETA-BLOCKERS, C Don't use magnesium sulfate! can se neonatal myasthenia, transiently, from placental transfer of antibodies against ACh receptor (tx w/ anticholinesteraes, but usually resolves in 6w)

Eisenmenger syndrome: Key avoids

Avoid hypotension - decrease in SVR causes increased R-t-L shunting, bypassing pulmonary circulation leadign to severe hypoxemia and worsening pulm hypertension Avoid excessive blood loss and volume depletion Avoid increase in pulmonary vascular resistance - Hypoxemia - Hypercarbia - Metabolic acidosis - Excess catecholamines - High altitude Avoid iron deficiency and anemia Avoid exercise

Aortic stenosis in pregnancy: Key avoids

Avoid hypotension: necessary to maintain coronary perfusion Avoid hypovolemia: i.e. excessive blood loss, position, Valsalva. Avoid tachycardia: may lead to pulmonary edema Caution: epidural may lead to hypotension and decreased venous return.

Mitral stenosis in pregnancy: Key avoids

Avoid tachycardia: necessary for adequate filling times Avoid hypovolemia: may lead to inadequate filling pressure sand decrease cardiac output. Avoid hypervolemia: may lead to pulmonary edema. Neuraxial anesthesia acceptable.

Spinal cord injuries in pregnancy

Background: Autonomic dysreflexia is the most serious medical complication that occurs in women with SCIs in pregnancy an is found in 85% of patients with lesions at or above T6 level. It is important to avoid stimuli than can lead to autonomic dysreflexia, such as distension or manipulation of the vagina, bladder, urethra, or bowel. Adverse outcomes: Autonomic dysreflexia, urinary tract infections, falls, pyelonephritis, hypertension, pneumonia, preeclampsia, preterm labor, unattended deliveries, thrombosis, worsening spasticity and cesarean section. Autonomic dysreflexia can result in further serious complications including hypertensive encephalopathy, cerebrovascular accidents, intraventricular hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhage, and death. Management considerations: - Baseline pulmonary function testing should be considered with high thoracic or cervical lesions, usually above T5 level. - UTI/asymptomatic bacteriuria screening. Urinary tract infections an pyelonephritis are the most common reason for hospitalization of women with SCI in pregnancy. - VTE risk: Decreased or limited mobility increases the risk of venous thromboembolic disease, and although some have recommended routing antenatal pharmacologic prophylaxis, there are not data supporting the efficacy or safety of this treatment. - Pressure ulcer screening (6-15% of patients). - OB anesthesia consultation - Controlled delivery with early neuraxial anesthesia - Increased risk of depression - Teach uterine palpation to detect suspected preterm labor - Signs/Symptoms of PTL in SCI population: Typically those under control of the sympathetic nervous system (Ex. abdominal leg spasms, shortness of breath, increased spasticity) concurrent with uterine contractions may make women aware of labor.

Additional: - left ventricular systolic dysfunction <> Ejection fraction <45% <> Shortening fraction <30% <> LV end-diastolic volume >2.5 cm/m2

Aortic coarctation in pregnancy

Classically, patients will have hypertension present in upper and not lower extremities (most have hypertension in both arms). Repair usually recommended before pregnancy Post-repair complications include: - Re-coarctation - Aortic aneurysm and dissection - Hypertension 30-40% of pts will also have bicuspid aortic valve which may lead to AS 10% of pts will also have intracranial aneurysms - vs 2% in general population - All pts whoudl have MRA of thoracic aorta and intracranial vessels performed at least once.

Cohort study (1) Identify your cases (2) Identify your controls (3) Describe what you are comparing *** Note the outcome is the SAME Comparing disease/ outcomes to see if there are differences What statistical test do we use? why? - Relative risk (RR). Interpret these results: - RR 1.2 (95% CI 0.7 - 1.7) p=4

Multifactorial inheritance

Combination of genetic and environmental factors Certain isolated birth defects - Neural tube defects (NTDs) - Cleft lip/palate - Congenital heart disease - Club foot Risk to 1st degree relatives is approx population risk squared (2-5%) Risk is sharply lower for 2nd degree relatives and declines rapidly for more distant relatives

Trinucelotide expansion conditions: High yeild (4 conditions)

Common features of these conditions: (Focus on the ones in yellow; know the inheritance patterns of each and the threshold for abnormal repeats) 1: Many have neurological/cognitive symptoms 2: Inheritance patterns vary between conditions - AD, AR, x-linked. 3: Presentation can be at middle to late age with some conditions. 4: Anticipation - earlier and more severe in subsequent generations.

Paired t-test

Compares parametic (normally distributed data) means from 2 groups BUT the observations come from the SAME subject at 2 different times Example: - Hgb levels in the 1st and 2nd trimester from the same patient

Compares parametric (normally distributed) means from two different subjects Examples - Comparing mean age of controls and cases of women with and without diabetes - Comparing mean birthweight of controls and cases of women with and without diabetes

Twin-Twin transfusion syndrome

Complicates 10-15% of monochorionic twins - all monochorionic placentas have vascular connections One twin essentially chronically donates blood to the other AV anastomosis instead of normal pairing Progressive disease but may have sudden changes Mortality exceeds 80% if untreated Surveillance: - US q2 weeks from 16w until delivery - >75% of stage 1 will regress or remain stable - Treatment is fetoscopic laser ablations of abnormal communications or serial amnioreduction <> Laser ablation advantages - Improved survival at 6 months - Improved neurologic outcomes (26% vs 17%) - Single procedure <> after laser, 90% will have at least one survivor <> 65% will have 2 survivors

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI)

Complicates 1:5000 transfusions <>6% mortality risk, but can have complete recovery Leading cause of transfusion-related mortality in U.S. Associated with ANY type of blood component Most popular hypothesis - Antibody mediated - HLA or neutrophil antibody transfused into recipient w/ relevant leukocyte antigen - Leads to endothelial damage and capillary leakage Most developed countries supply plasma, platelets, and whole blood exclusively or predominantly from male donors, female donors with no prior pregnancy, or from donors who test negative for HLA-antibodies to reduce risk of TRALI Clinical diagnosis: - Sudden onset respiratory insufficiency during or w/in 6 hrs of blood product infusion - Hypoxemia - Bilateral infiltrates - Leads to endothelial damage and capillary leakage Diagnosis important - etiology is non-cardiogenic - exclude volume overload Treatment w/ diuretics can worsen symptoms Primary therapy is supportive - May require ventilatory support - Usually improves rapidly, may progress to ARDS - May receive additional blood products from different donor.

Marfan syndrome

Defective fibrillin gene leads to weakened connective tissues. Autosomal dominant. Highly variable Classic findings: arachnodactyly, long arm span, joint hypermobility, scoliosis, dilation/dissection of ascending aorta. 60-80% of adults with Marfan Syndrome will have aortic root dilation with or without aortic regurgitation. Aneurysmal dilation and dissection of the aorta account for the majority of the morbidity and mortality. Rupture risk during pregnancy increases with degree of dilation - Normal aortic dimension: Rupture risk <1% - Aortic root diameter >4cm: Rupture risk approx 10% Aortic root diameter >4.5cm is an indication for preconception repair if patient desires pregnancy. The risk for dissection is decreased but not eliminated following surgical correction. - 50% will require repair of aneurysm in another location. Key management points: - Avoid hypertension: Goal SBP <130 - Avoid tachycardia: Goal HR <70 bpm at rest (nonpregnant) - Avoid valsalva: assisted 2nd stage, pain management w/ epidural. CS may benefit pts w/ aortic root diameter >4cm, aortic root dissection or heart failure

CMV: Choosing wisely #10

Don't perform maternal serologic studies for cytomegalovirus and toxoplasma as part of routine prenatal laboratory studies. Routine serologic screening of pregnant women for CMV and toxoplasmosis is not recommended due to poor predictive value of these tests and potential for harm due to false positive results. Serologic screening during pregnancy for both diseases should be reserved for situations in which there is clinical or ultrasound suspicion of maternal or fetal infection.

Non-CDE antigens and hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)

Tranexamic acid review

Early activation of fibrinolysis is associated with increased mortality Trauma (and childbirth) activate early fibrinolysis TXA reduces bleeding by inhibiting the enzymatic breakdown of fibrinogen and fibrin by plasmin Give within 3 hours of delivery 1gram over 10-20 minutes Repeat after 30 minutes for continued bleeding Prophylactic dosing is not recommended.

Case 32Y G0 presents to your office for a prepregnancy consultation regarding medication exposure for anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Her current medications are effexor (venlafaxine) 75mg daily, Xanx (alprazolam) 1 mg TID, and ambien 5mg qHS as needed. How do you counsel this patient about her medications in a future pregnancy?

Effexor is an SNRI. There is more data in pregnancy on SSRIs, particularly sertraline (Zoloft) as first line as it idoes not increase teratogenicity and does not correlate w/ VSDs like other SSRIs such as paroxetine (Paxil). We can discuss continuing her SNRI or switching to an SSRI such as zoloft that has more data Xanax is a benzodiazepine and limited use i spreferred in pregnancy. I would recommend limited as needed use. She can consider changing from Ambien (neonatal respiratory distress w/ use near delivery) to Unisom or Benadryl. I would discuss the risk to a neonate associated with SSRI or benzodiazepine exposure in-utero include neonatal abstinence syndrome (agitation, irritability, insomnia, poor feeding, vomiting, diarrhea, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, RDS, altered muscle tone, shivering, seizures) and persistent pulmonary hypertension (from SSRIs). There is more concern when exposure is in the late 3rd trimester.

Talipes equinovarus (Club foot)

Evaluation: - Detailed (Level II) US - If isolated, genetic testing not necessary (but would offer genetic testing for boards) You never know if you've missed an associated anomaly - Consultation with orthopedics Clinical considerations: - One of the most common findings on prenatal US - 1-3/1000 births - Unilaeral vs bilateral - In isolation, usually not genetic - Multifactorial inheritance - Subsequent pregnancy risk 3-5% (male 3%, female 5%) - 10% cases where clubfoot was dx prenatally - feet are normal - Good outcomes after casting, in most cases, refer to orthopedics

Cleft lip & palate

Evaluations: - Detailed US - 3D US to evaluate face - Referral to genetic counselor - consideration of genetic amnio (Usually isolated but I offer everyone with an anomaly an amniocentesis with microarray) - Referral to plastics, maxillofacial surgery, NICU Clinical considerations: - Usually surgically fixable - Multi-disciplinary care - Offer social support, counseling - Presurgical nasal alveolar molding devices - lip taping, intraoral appliances.

Case A 22y G1 presents for her anatomy US at 20w. The referring OB intake form states 'drug use'. You notice that she appears anxious and is shaking. How do you proceed with this patient?

For all patients with substance abuse I perform Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment History and physical I universally Screen all patients for substance abuse. Options for screening tools are the 4 P's, NIDA (online) or CRAFFT (specific for women less than 26yrs). The 4 P's - Parents: use drugs/alcohol - Partner: use drugs/alcohol - Past: prior difficulties w/ drugs/alcohol/Rx meds - Present: in past month had any alcohol or drugs ***If yes to any of the above, ask more questions CRAFFT - In a CAR with someone intoxicated - Use drugs/alcohol to RELAX - Use drugs/alcohol while ALONE - FORGET things while using drugs/alcohol - FRIENDS/FAMILY tell you to cut back on drugs/alcohol - Gotten into TROUBLE while using drugs/alcohol *** Each of the above (6 total) is worth 1 point. If 2 or more total then has about a 50% probability of abuse/dependence and needs further workup

How would you explain to a patient if their results have the following: PPV: 75% NPV: 80% Sens: 90% Spec: 90%

For patients, predictive values may be more meaningful than sensitivity and specificity (they incorporate both sensitivity and specificity as well as pre-test probability). Positive predictive value (75%) : if you test positive, there is on average 75% chance that you have the disease and 25% that you do not. Negative predictive value (80%): if you test negative, there is on average 80% chance that you do not have the disease and 20% that you do. Sensitivity (90%): the test will identify 90% of patients with the disease, it misses 10%. (SNOUT) Specificity (90%): the test will misidentify 10% of healthy people as having the disease. ("SPIN)

Endocrine - TSH - Prolactin

Case 24y G1 presents to your clinic w/ a positive HIV screening test. She presents at 29w and her CD4 count is noted to be low at 66 and her viral load is significantly elevated. How dose this alter you plan of management?

Given the low CD4 count the pt would need to be treated to preven pneumonia (particular pneumocystis carinii pneumnoia), toxoplasmosis, mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) I would treated the patient with Bactrim (to cover general PNA and PCP) and azithromycin (to cover MAC). If the CD4 count was below 50 then would also treat with fluconazole to prevent Cryptococcus. *** when the CD4 count is less than 200, this is considered AIDS

Hemophilia A

Hemophilia A X-Linked recessive Females can be affected secondary to skewed x-inactivation 50% risk transmission to male offspring

Hepatitis B in pregnancy

Hepatitis B vertical transmission risk: There is a baseline vertical transmission risk in mothers with hepatitis B that varies based on trimester, viral load, neonatal immunoprophylaxis and the presence or absence of HBeAg. These risks are present in the absence of any invasive procedures such as CVS or amniocentesis. <> In HBsAg(+) and HBeAg(-) mothers the VT risk is 20-30% in the absence of HBV neonatal immunoprophylaixs and 5-15% if the neonate receives immunoprophylaxis. <> In HBsAg(+) and HBeAg(+) mothers the VT risk is 90%. <> Women with high viral loads load >6-8 log 10 (>1,000,000) copies/mL or who are HBeAg positive the VT risk is 10% regardless of neonatal immunoprophylaxis. Hepatitis B vertical transmission risk with amniocentesis: Vertical transmission risk of amniocentesis has been described but appears to be low (Lopez et al., 2010). The population with the lowest risk of VT is when the mother is HBeAg negative with a low HBV viral load, defined at < 7log10 copies/mL, and the procedure is completed with a 22-gauge needed under continuous guidance (Towers CV et al., 2001; Yi W., et al 2014). Maternal antiretroviral therapy: In pregnant women with HBV infection and viral load >6-8 log 10 copies/mL, HBV-targeted maternal antiviral therapy should be considered to decrease VT risk. Possible interventions include antiretroviral therapy with Tenofovir (first line) 300 mg/day or Lamivudine (second line agent due to high resistance) 100 mg daily from 28 weeks' gestation until 1 month postpartum. The use of lamivudine and tenofovir in the postpartum period is not currently recommended solely for HBV prevention until additional data are available. (2016 SMFM Consult Series #38) *** to convert viral load form IU/mL to copies/mL multiply x 5.6. Recommendations: - Workup: HBsAg, HBsAb, HBcAb, HbCIgM, HBeAg, HBeAb, LFTs - HBV viral load should be obtained in the third trimester (28-32w) - Antepartum testing: Not indicated - Route and timing of delivery: Per standard OB indications - Hepatitis B vaccine and HBIG should be given within 12 hours of birth to all newborns of HBsAg positive mothers. - Breastfeeding: not contraindicated contingent that the neonate receives HBIg and HB vaccine

Case Patient with breast cancer and recently postpartum. How do you counsel her regarding breastfeeding?

How do you counsel her regarding breastfeeding? - Contraindicated in those on hormonal therapy or chemotherapy. - After surgery or radiation, not contraindicated, but HALF are not able to breastfeed (typically due to fibrosis from the treatment) - Neonates do not prefer mil from the treated breast, there is less fat and more sodium.

Case 8 30y G0 presents to your office for a preconception visit. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 months ago and is currently going through chemotherapy after her bilateral mastectomy a month ago. She is curious about her options for becoming pregnant in the near future as she recently got married and desires a family. How do you counsel her?

How do you counsel her? - ideal to wait more than 6 months post chemo therapy, as this gives the oocytes time to mature. The risk of relapse is always there, and for this the patient could consider waiting for more than 2 years after her diagnosis. I would be sure to personalize the discussion for each patient, particularly discussing the risk of relapse, future fertility options, age for starting a family, and type of adjuvant treatment and how long these various treatments would last.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

How is the diagnosis made? - CMV serologies are sent. If IgG and IgM positive, IgG avidity testing is needed. If IgG avidity is result is high (>65%) it indicates that the primary infection was >6 months. IgG avidity is low (<30%), hows a more recent primary infection like in the last 2-4 months. The results can return as low (<0.5), intermediate (0.5-0.59), or high (>0.6). Explain the avidity test? - Antibodies made when there is a primary infection have a lower antigen avidity than those made with a non-primary infection. So, over time the antibody maturates and then is at a higher antibody avidity. In SMFM Consult series, IgM(+) w/ IgG(+) and low avidity means infection within last 3 months. Fetal and Neonatal concerns? - On US: cerebral calcifications, microcephaly, echogenic bowel, IUGR, subependymal cysts (cysts lining the wall of the brain), ventriculomegaly, pericardial effusion, hyperechoic kidneys, hepatomegaly, placenta big or calcified, liver calcifications, hydrops. - If US findings seen, suggest fetal infection <50% of the time - Neonate: Jaundice, rash, hepatosplenomegaly, death, deafness Do you recommend screening for CMV in all patients? - No, as there is not a cleara disease process, nor known prevalence. Also tere is no early intervention. So, is not an effective screening test. One RCT showed no benefit over placebo for the intervention. So, if screen positive, intervention may actually cause harm

Case 37Y G1 presents at 12w. She reports palpating a painless lump in her left breast and some intermittent nipple discharge. The diagnosis of breast cancer has been made for this patient. How would you counsel her on her treatment options? If the initial diagnosis was made at 38w gestation, would this change your management options for the patient?

How would you counsel her on her treatment options? - 1st trimester:, her optiosn are surgery , radiation - 2nd trimester: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy - 3rd trimester: Surgery, chemotherapy - Multidisciplinary approach to bring least fetal hearm and best maternal care If the initial diagnosis was made at 38w gestation, would this change your management options for the patient? - Treatment should begin after delivery when the patient is 2-3 weeks from delivery

23Y G2P0010 (prior 1st trimester SAB) presented for an anatomy US to your office at 20w. Normal fetal anatomy is noted. On routine vaginal cervical screening her cervical length is noted to be 1.1cm w/ funneling. How do you counsel this patient?

I discuss w/ her that pts w/ no prior preterm delivery and a noted CL less than 20mm before 24w, the recommendation to decrease the risk of preterm birth is to begin vaginal progesterone. I would inform her that this can decrease the risk of preterm delivery before 34w by approx.. 30-40% We can also discuss reassessing her cervical length. I would also consider performing a SVE. I discuss pelvic rest.

Cervical lenth screening: Key points

I initially assess the cervis at some point between 16-24 weeks. I never assess before 16w as th LUS is underdeveloped, so the ECC is hard to identify I do not screen CL past 24 weeks, bc interventions studied have typically used 24w as the limit to intervene or treat There is a difference in how I perform CL screening for women w or w/o a PTD> If hx of PTB, I woudl perform CL every 1-2 weeks from 16-24w I WIL ALWAYS perform a TVCL screen for women with a singleton and a history of spontaneous preterm birth. In my practice, even women without a history fo PTB will get a TVCL at their anatomy US (if teh GA is between the guidelines, 16-24w)*** For women w/ a prior LEEP or CKC, data is not clear. Typically the severity of the dysplasia has more of a link than the procedure done. If she just a history of an abnormal pap, I do not treat her any differently As midtrimester CL assessment by TVUS is teh best clinical predictor of spontaneous preterm birth, I would assess the cervical length at the anatomy US. The cervix can be considered short if measuring from 2-3 cm. If a short cervix is found I will take and extensive OB Hx. I will discuss w/ the patient that the shorter the cervix the higher the risk of delivery prematurely. I prefer TVUS to assess the CL as the TVUS CL is more reproducible and not affected by maternal obesity, cervical position, or shadowing from various parts of the fetus.

What are some issues you could run into w/ a case-control study?

I want to be careful to avoid confounding variables, particularly recall bias, as the individuals in the case group may have biased recall over those in the control group.

18y G1 at 12w2d is referred for anemia. Her hemoglobin is 8.2 w a hct of 27.3. The MCV is 72. Her lab results show normal iron studies. Hgb electrophoresis HgbA 0%, HgbS 95%, HgbA2 3%, HgbF 2% A repeat CBC returns with a Hgb 5.2 g/dL. Does this change your current plan of care?

I would consider transfusion if Hgb < 6g/dL IV iron (ferrous sucrose over iron dextran as with less anaphylaxis)s showed higher Hgb increase at 5d pp but no difference at 40d pp compared to po iron No evidence EPO added to po iron has much of an H/H increase.

Case: You receive a call from the hospital for a consultation regarding a 27Y G3P1011 at 30w1d for 'preterm labor.' You are told she has not yet been evaluated. What is your plan of management?

I would take a detailed H&P; assess frequency of contractions and history of preterm delivery Labs: - UA - UDS - GBS - GC swab - Wet mount My workup would include a SSE w/ collection of a fFN. I can then assess a CL - If >3cm i woudl send the pt home - If <2cm i would not sent fFN, check her cervix, and admit for continued management of preterm labor - If 2-3cm I would send the fFN and likley still treat for concern of preterm labor For the pt that I have concern for PTL, I would - Antenatal corticosteroids - MgSO4 for neuroprotection - CEFM (duration pending SVE, frequency of contractions, and FHR interpretation) - Regarding tocolytics, I will consider use for the first 48h (which could be NSAIDS, beta adrenergic receptor agonist, CCB). After 48 hours I do not administer tocolytics as it has not proven to prevent preterm birth or improve neonatal outcome. - GBS culture and possible prophylaxis

Cytogenetics/Chromosome analysis: Karyotype

IDs all chromosomal aneuploidies and structural chromosomal abnormalities that are microscopically visible and a least 4-5 MB in size Limitations: - Low resolution - Does not detect point mutations - Need for cell culture => Longer TAT (10-14 days) - Subjective interpretation - Requires a fresh sample containing LIVE cells <> Cannot use - serum, mature RBCs, biopsies put in formalin or other preservatives <> Some tissue samples from SABs may no longer be viable when detal demise is discovered.

Case 27Y G1 at 22w is referred for a platelet count of 75. Remaining CBC is normal. Repeat CBC returns w/ a platelet count of 45K and blood smear shows no clumping of platelets. All other workup is normal (whatever candidate asked for, lupus, HIV, HepC, etc). She reprts a history of easy bruising and that her gums often bleed when brushing her teeth. She recalls 'a lot of bleeding" after she had a tooth extraction. What is your working diagnosis at this time?

ITP is most likely.

What are the risks in a preganncy of a women with chronic or acute hepatitis B infection?

If she has cirrhosis from chronic HBV there MAY BE and ASSOICATION w/ increased maternal and fetal death, GHTN, abruption, PTB, IUGR There has NOT been a link from infection with HGV alone with PTB, low birth weight or GDM

Sensitivity of cfDNA for Trisomy 21 is 99.2% How would you explain this to a patient?

If the baby does not have Trisomy 21, 99.2% of the time, the test will come back negative for Trisomy 21

What must be considered for a fetus born to a mother w/ Protein C or S deficiency?

If the baby ends up being homozygote, it could have neonatal purpura fulminans which would require lifetime anticoagulation.

Specificity of cfDNA for Trisomy 21 is 99.9%. How would you explain this to a patient?

If the baby has Trisomy 21, 99.9% of the time, the test will come back positive for Trisomy 21 The test is very reliable at detecting Trisomy 21 if the baby has it.

Hydrops fetalis (NIHF) Definition and DDx

Immune: - Alloimmunization Non-immune: - Infection (Parvo B19, CMV, toxo, syphilis, varicella) - Karyotypic (Turner's, T21, T13, T18) - Genetic syndrome (Noonan's, Myotonic dystrophy, etc...) - Structural abnormality (thoracic, lymphatic, skeletal dysplasia, GI, GU) - Anemia (hemorrhage, hemoglobinopathy (alpha thal major) - Arterial-Venous Malformation (chorioangioma, sacrococcgeal teratoma) - Arrhythmia - Inborn errors of metabolism

Robertsonian translocations

Important in cases involving chromosome 21 t(14,21) - 6 possible gametes - 3 will not lead to offspring <> Of 3 viable - normal, balanced, unbalanced (1/3) <> However, population studies - unbalanced 10-15% from mom and only a few percent from dad t(21,21) - If a parent has this balanced - 100% chance of trisomy 21

Odds Ratio (OR) vs Relative Risk (RR)

In discussing other studies, in a prospective cohort study (start with exposure), as with a cohort study, I can use OR (which will estimate the RR) or I can calculate the RR. The OR will always overestimate the RR. RR uses the incidence of disease ---------------------- A case control study would be starting with people who have a disease (OUTCOME) and retrospectively looking at which were exposed or not. Case control studies are good for rare diseases. Case control studies are considered observational as no intervention is made. FYI, case control studies only use ODDS ratios

What is incidence rate (and how is it different than prevalence)?

Incidence rate is the number of NEW cases in a unit of time. The incidence is like asking the risk of getting the disease (so it is new cases over a period of time divided by the total number of persons in that population being discussed in that time frame). Incidence is over a period of time. RATE. Think of 'incident report' being something NEW that JUST HAPPENED at that point in time. Example: 50 new cases of HIV diagnosed in 1 year study 800 people in high risk group studied in 1 year 50/800 = 0.063 = 6.3% The rate of HIV diagnosis in the high risk group studied in 1 year was 6.3% The risk of the studied population getting HIV was 6.5%

Incogtinentia Pigmenti

Incontinentia Pigmenti X-linked dominant

Case A 20y G1 at 30w presents with a rash on her arm and inguinal fold region bilaterally. She reports it is red and non-pruritic. The rash continues to spread to her abdomen (as pictured) despite treatment with high dose topical steroids. She also complains of nausea, vomiting, changes in her nails, hematuria, and fever. Biopsy of the lesions confirm Pustular Psoriasis of Pregnancy (aka impetigo herpetiformis). How do you counsel this patient regarding her pregnancy and treatment?

Increase risk of placental insufficiency, SAB, IUGR, IUFD; recommend serial growth USs and antenatal testing High dose IV steroids (prednisolone 80mg/d) and can taper, correct any calcium/electrolyte issues, consider antibiotics for skin coverage if needed. Can recur with OCPs and future pregnancies May have low serum Ca, urine w/ high WBC/protein/blood

Forest plot: basic principles

Interpretation

Define the following types of data: - Interval - Ordinal - Nominal

Interval Interval data, also called an integer, is defined as a data type which is measured along a scale, in which each point is placed at equal distance from one another. Interval data always appears in the form of numbers or numerical values where the distance between the two points is standardized and equal. Interval data cannot be multiplied or divided, however, it can be added or subtracted. Interval data is measured on an interval scale. A simple example of interval data: The difference between 100 degrees Fahrenheit and 90 degrees Fahrenheit is the same as 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Ordinal Ordinal data is a statistical type of quantitative data in which variables exist in naturally occurring ordered categories. The distance between two categories is not established using ordinal data. Ordinal data is thus a collection of ordinal variables, i.e., if you have variables in a particular order - "low, medium, high", they can be represented as ordinal data. There are two important factors to consider for ordinal data - There are multiple terms that represent "order" such as "High, Higher, Highest" or "Satisfied, Dissatisfied, Extremely Dissatisfied". The difference between variables is not uniform. In statistics, a group of ordinal numbers indicates ordinal data and a group of ordinal data are represented using an ordinal scale. The main difference between nominal and ordinal data is that ordinal has an order of categories while nominal doesn't. To compare two ordinal data groups, the Mann-Whitney U test should be used. - This test allows a researcher to conclude that a variable from one sample is greater or lesser than another variable randomly selected from another sample. Nominal: In statistics, nominal data (also known as nominal scale) is a type of data that is used to label variables without providing any quantitative value. It is the simplest form of a scale of measure. Unlike ordinal data, nominal data cannot be ordered and cannot be measured. Dissimilar to interval or ratio data, nominal data cannot be manipulated using available mathematical operators. Thus, the only measure of central tendency for such data is the mode. Nominal data can be both qualitative and quantitative. However, the quantitative labels lack a numerical value or relationship (e.g., identification number). On the other hand, various types of qualitative data can be represented in nominal form. They may include words, letters, and symbols. Names of people, gender, and nationality are just a few of the most common examples of nominal data. Nominal data can be analyzed using the grouping method. The variables can be grouped together into categories, and for each category, the frequency or percentage can be calculated. The data can also be presented visually, such as by using a pie chart. Although nominal data cannot be treated using mathematical operators, they still can be analyzed using advanced statistical methods. For example, one way to analyze the data is through hypothesis testing. For nominal data, hypothesis testing can be carried out using nonparametric tests such as the chi-squared test. The chi-squared test aims to determine whether there is a significant difference between the expected frequency and the observed frequency of the given values.

Opioid use disorders in pregnancy: intrapartum and postpartum concepts

Intrapartum management Offer epidural/spina (may need higher dosing), avoid narcotic agonist-antagonist medications (butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocine) as can lead to acute withdrawal Methadone or buprenorphine dosing should not change in labor (may need to split the dosing for more efficacy) Consider injectable NSAIDS (Toradol) and Tylenol Notify neonatology Postpartum management: Ok to breastfeed (less NAS, decreased neonate ospital days) regardless of dose (hardly any transfer into milk) No breastfeeding w/ codeine or tramadol (quick conversion to morphine bad for the baby); cautiously use medication that can decrease maternal respiratory effort (benzos, Ambien, or antihistamines like Benadryl) Contraception must be discussed.

Desire a study to determine if Tylenol increases the risk of peripartum cardiomyopathy? What questions doe we ask to decide which study design is best?

Is it a rare disease or does it have a long latency? - If yes: case-control Are you looking at more than one outcome? - if yes: case-control Is the exposure rare? - If yes: Cohort Are you looking at more than one outcome? - If yes: Cohort Answer: Best study would be a case-control

How to choose a study?

Intraoperative fetal monitoring for nonobstetric surgery: key questions

Is the fetus viable? Is monitoring feasible? (In abdominal surgery not feasible) What are the fetal risks from the procedure? Can you intervene to address an issue with the fetus? Are you willing to interrupt the surgery to delivery the fetus?

Aortic stenosis in pregnancy

Isolated: bicuspid valve (rheumatic origin usually invovles severeal valves) Stenotic valve leads to fixed cardiac output Mild disease: - valve area >1.5 cm2 - Peak gradient <50 mmHg Severe disease - valve area <1cm2 - Peak gradient >75 mmHg - Ejection fraction <55% Aortic stenosis complications - Excess flow: <> obstruction impedes flow across valve leading to pulmonary edema - Underperfusion/inadequate cardiac output <> Angina: due to decreased coronary perfusion <> Syncope: Due to poor cerebral perfusion <> Sudden death: Due to arrhythmias

What does AUC of 0.4 mean?

It means the test cannot distinguish between the 2 groups. that translates to a grade of F: the test does not work

Prevalence versus Incidence

Key phrases: - Prevalence is the probability of having ------- in the period of time evaluated (or in the population as a whole). - Incidence is the risk of getting -------- in those people that were at risk of getting --------. Population evaluating has 25,000 people. 16 known cases of PUPPS in that population 4 new cases diagnosed in 2017, so now a total of 20 <> The prevalence is the probability of having PUPPS in the population of 25,000 people. So, 20/25,000 = 0.0008 = 0.08%, or can express as a prevalence of 0.8/1,000 population. <> Incidence is the risk of getting PUPPS in those people that were at risk of getting PUPPS. There are 4 new cases (numerator) and the people at risk (denominator) is 25,000 -- 16, which is 24,984. So, 4/24984 = 0.00016 = 0.016% or 0.16/1,000 population.

What are the limitations of Chromosomal microarray (CMA)

Limitations of CMA: - Cannot detect truly BALANCED chromosomal rearrangements - Does not detect all cases of mosaicism - Does not detect point mutations or intragentic mutations (single gene mutations) copy number variant (CNV) or uncertain significance (<2%) Limitations specific to prenatal CMA: - Prenatal presentation and spectrum of anomalies associated with mutations is known disease genes is not always known. - Penetrance of known genetic defects when detected prenatally in "asymptomatic fetus" is no always known

Would you administer antibiotics to a non-surgical patient with an appendicitis?

Limited data in the pregnant population Reports of two pregnant pts that receive amp/gent/clinda, IVF, vowel rest, and improved over 3 days. One had appendectomy 2 mo after vaginal delivery and other at time of ob indicated cesarean. However, a letter to the editor reported cases of 2 maternal deaths after being discharged home after 'expectant management' w/ antibiotics and appearing to improve when in the hospital. Overall, recommendation for keeping in the hospital to monitor for maternal sepsis and preterm labor. "walled off preformation" treatment w/ antibiotics, and no surgery, is well supported in teh non-pregnant population. Some consider avoiding steroids for lung maturity and tocolytics to not suppress or mask an intraamniotc infection.

Cancer in pregnancy: General facts

Mammography - Diagnostic, detects microcalcifications (<0.01Gy), with abdominal shielding, litte risk to fetus Ultrasound: - High sensitivity and specificity - Distinguishes cystic from solid lesions - Standard exam for a palpable breast mass during pregnancy Optimal treatment necessitates adequate staging. Ionizing radiation - (x-ray) <0.01 Gy making staging possible - Risk of not stating is often greater than the potential harm to the fetus. Radiation - Controversial, successful radiotherapy and birth of healthy children have been reported. Local control of the disease and prevention of metastases The fetal dose increases as the pregnancy becomes more advanced, because of the increased proximity of the fetus to the primary irradiation field. Avoid delay in treatment unless 2-3 weeks from delivery.

Fetal and Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (FNAIT)

NAIT is a disorder resulting in fetal platelet destruction (thrombocytopenia) from maternal antibodies against fetal human platelet antigens (HPAs) inherited from the father. The diagnosis is suspected if a neonate is discovered to be thrombocytopenic <100,000 at birth or there is demonstration of an intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). The diagnosis is confirmed with fetal/neonatal thrombocytopenia PLUS identification of a paternal, fetal/neonatal platelet antigen with identification of Maternal antibodies to that specific antigen. The presence of HPA-1a antigen or a past history of child affect by an ICH predict a more severe thrombocytopenia. The evaluation for NAIT includes obtaining the maternal and paternal platelet antigen typing in addition to the maternal platelet HPA antibody status. The goal of management focuses on the prevention of ICH. The risk of ICH is approx. 10-30% and is considered one of the most serious complications. The risk of neonatal mortality from ICH is approx. 5-13%. Unlike rhesus disease, the antibodies may cross the placenta and cause severe fetal thrombocytopenia, even during the index pregnancy. The most significant complication of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is intracranial hemorrhage; the latter occurs in 10 to 20% of affected pregnancies, with 75% of these occurring before birth. The diagnosis is usually made after an unaffected pregnancy when either severe unexplained thrombocytopenia presents in a neonate, or fetal or neonatal intracranial hemorrhage is diagnosed in the presence of thrombocytopenia. Once the condition is suspected, confirmation of the diagnosis requires both demonstration of platelet specific antigen incompatibility between the parents or between the mother and the neonate, in the presence of maternal antibodies against the involved antigen. Because the majority of intracranial hemorrhages occurred before the onset of labor, treatment must be instituted antenatally to prevent them. The cornerstone of therapy has been maternal administration of steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)

NAS is seen when the neonate shows hyperactivity of the central and autonomic nervous system. They are often with uncoordinated sucking reflex, poor feeding, and irritability. This can be seen in the first two weeks of life et usually within the first 72 hours. Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) is a specific form of NAS

Negative predictive value (NPV)

NPV is the probability that if the test is negative the subject actually does not have disease NPV incorporates prevalence of disease, so decreases with prevalence NPV: D/D+C = True negative / True negative + False negative Example: If the NPV of a blood test for depression is 90%. How do you explain this to the patient? - NPV is the probability that if the test is negative, the subject actually does not have the disease - NPV (90%) is the probability that if the blood test was negative that they actually do not have depression - Of those people who test negative (denominator), 90% actually do not have depression (numerator) - NPV: D/D+C = True negative / True negative + False negative

How would you explain the concept of Negative Predictive Value (NPV)?

NPV tells you how likely it is for someone with a negative test (screen negative) to not have the disease (true negative) It answers the questions "I tested negative. Does this mean I definitely don't have the disease?"

Opioid use disorders (OUD): Key concepts

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is now the preferred term no longer opioid abuse or opioid dependence), and is defined by 11 main symptoms w/ severity of the disorder being based on recurring symptoms (tolerance, cravings, not able to control use) over a year Buprenorphine is a partial agonist (not a full agonist) and thus overdoing on the medication is less likely. Other benefits over methadone are fewer drug interactions and less need for dose adjusting through the pregnancy I am aware that there is a combined product of buprenorphine + naloxone (opioid antagonist)), brand same suboxone, that when used orally does not cause withdrawal symptoms but does cause symptoms if injected, thus decreasing diversion Opioids work by binding to opioid receptors located in the brain and produce a sensation of pleasure; they can cause respiratory depression which can lead to respiratory arrest and death. Withdrawal symptoms: drug cravings, anxiety, abdominal cramping, nausea, insomnia, diarrhea, sweating, runny nose/eyes, pulls dilated, irritability. Can manage symptoms with adjusted methadone doses as needed. Given the metabolism of methadone, split doses in a day are often preferred over daily dosing. Heroin is the most rapidly acting opioid and is highly addictive. It can be injected, smoked, or nasally inhaled. It has a short halflife and thus its use can be seen frequently. Untreated heroin use in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of IUGR, placental abruption, IUFD, preterm labor, and intrauterine fetal meconium passage. There may be a small increased risk of birth defects associated with opioid use. I would not use naloxone (short acting opioid antagonist) to attempt to diagnose opioid dependence in pregnancy as it can lead to withdrawals and could cause preterm labor or fetal distress. Naloxone should be used on in case of maternal overdose as a life saving attempt (IV, SQ, nasal) long term studies on child up to five years of age that were exposed to methadone in utero did not show significant cognitive differences

What is the treatment for iron deficiency anemia?

Interpreting receiver operative characteristics (ROC) curves

ROC Curve shows you how well a test can distinguish between those with and without the disease in question. Accuracy is measured by the area under the ROC curve (AUC) - An area of 1 represents a perfect test - An area of 0.5 represents a worthless test A rough guide for classifying the accuracy of a diagnostic test is the traditional grading system: - 0.90-1.0 = excellent (A) - 0.8-0.9 = good (B) - 0.7-0.8 = fair (C) - 0.6-0.7 = poor (D) - 0.5-0.6 = fail (F) What does AUC of 0.75 mean? What does AUC of 0.4 mean?

Reporting bias

Subjects in one group more likely to report prior events than in the other group.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity is the proportion of patients with the disease/condition (denominatory that had a positive/exposure (numerator) Of those who have the disease, those that tested positive Sensitivity is the true positive rate Sensitivity...pts are SENSITIVE about a history of PID - Sensitivity = Positive in Disease - A/A-C - True positive / True positive + False negative Example If the sensitivity of detecting club foot via US is 65%, how do you explain this to the patient? - Sensitivity = true positive / all those with disease - Of all the fetuses born with clubfoot (denominator), 65% were noted on prenatal ultrasound (numerator - True positive rate of 65%

How would you explain the concept of sensitivity?

Sensitivity measures how good a test is at detecting whether the patient really has a condition or not. (True positive rate) A sensitivity test helps rule OUT a disease when the test is negative *** Hihgly SeNsitive = SNOUT = rule out*** Example: Sensitivity of cfDNA for T21 is 99.2% How would you explain this to a patient?

How do you explain sensitivity and specificity to a person?

Sensitivity: if it is there it will be detected Tells us if you have the diseases (80% sensitivity means we're sure that the test will detect (true positive) the presence of the disease in 80% of the patients, and the 20% may have a false negative results "they have the disease and the test didn't detect it) Here we miss some patient with the disease untreated Specificity : if it not there it will refute it Tells us if you don't have the disease (90% specificity means we're sure that 90% of the tested people are disease free. The remaining 10% means the tested people don't have the disease yet the results says that they do, which is false positive) Here we will treat someone without the disease

Significant level = alpha = type 1 error = "False positive" Probability of finding and effect that is not there Showing that there is a difference in my study when in reality there is not Alpha typically 0.05 = 5% (predetermined) = is the likelihood of a type 1 error P value 0.05 means 5% chance results are due to chance - 5% change of "false positive" result - 5% change of finding an effect when one does not exists

What is the associated risk of pregnancy for WHO class 3 lesions?

Significantly increased risk of maternal mortality or severe morbidity. Expert counseling required. If pregnancy is decided upon, intensive specialist cardiac and obstetric monitoring needed throughout pregnancy, childbirth and the peurperium.

What is the associated risk of pregnancy for WHO class 2 lesions?

Small increased risk of maternal mortality or moderate increase in morbidity.

Specificity

Specificity is the proportion of patients without the disease/condition (denominator) that had a negative test/exposure (numerator) Specificity is the true negative rate Specificity...The NIH has SPECIFIC requirements - Specificity - Negative in Health - D/B+D Example: If the specificity of a blood test to evaluate for maternal risk of preeclampsia is 45%, what does this mean? - Specificity: D/B+D = (True negative / all without dz) - The specificity is the proportion of pts w/o preeclampsia that had a negative blood test. - Of all the patients without preeclampsia (denominator), 45% had a negative blood test (numerator) - The true negative rate is 45% - This would not be a good screening test

How would you explain the concept of sensitivity?

Specificity measures how reliable a negative test is for patients who do not have the investigated condition (True negative rate) A test with high specificity means that it reallys rules in a diagnosis if the test is positive Highly SPecific = SPIN = rule in Example: Specificity of cfDNA for Trisomy 21 is 99.9%

What are indications for delivery in a septic patient?

Steroid sulfatase deficiency (X-linked ichthyosis) OR Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome

Subclinical hypothyroidism

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is defined as an elevated TSH in the setting for a normal free thyroxine (fT4) level. Current recommendations from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states that there is no evidence that the identification and treatment of SCH during pregnancy improves neonatal developmental or obstetrical outcomes (ACOG PB148 2015). There is data from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) that the identification and treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism may improve miscarriage and pregnancy rates when the TSH is >4 mIU/L. In patients with anti-TPO antibodies and a TSH >2.5 mIU/L, ASRM suggests that treatment may improve miscarriage and infertility rates. In patients with a TSH level between 2.5-4.0 mIU/L, ASRM states that there is insufficiency evidence that treatment improves pregnancy and miscarriage rates. Acknowledging that this evidence is limited, ASRM recommends treating SCH in the first trimester when the TSH is >2.5 mIU/L due to minimal risk to the patient in this clinical setting. (ASRM Practice Committee Guideline 2015).

Case 42Y G6P3023 at 11w presents to your office for consultation given a history of stroke 2 years ago. She si currently taking Plavix 75mg, aspirin 81mg, and atorvastin 40mg daily. She is also MTFHR homozygote for the C677T mutation. She had 3 prior uncomplicated vaginal deliveries over 10 years ago. Labs return with a notably low Protein C and Protein S (on prior requested labs when no pregnant or on anticoagulation). Other inherited thrombophilias labs were normal. Negative workup for antiphospholipid syndrome. Records show 50% stenosis of her right internal carotid artery What is your initial work up for this patient?

Targeted History and physical, specifically asking if the pt has ever been told to be on lifelong anticoagulation, if she has a neurologist, and if she has any family members with a history of VTE Discuss workup for inherited thrombophilia's and APLS Consider baseline coagulation studies and CBC Consider imaging of the brain if felt indicated Request any records needed.

How do you define cervical insufficiency?

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists defines cervical insufficiency as "the inability of the uterine cervix to retain a pregnancy in the second trimester in the absence of clinical contractions, labor, or both" The classic obstetric history of women with structural cervical weakness leading to recurrent cervical insufficiency is characterized by recurrent second-trimester pregnancy losses/deliveries that were associated with no or minimal mild symptoms, often before 24 weeks of gestation, and then were found to have cervical dilation and effacement on physical examination that was unexpected based on their mild symptoms. The duration from recognition of symptoms to delivery may have been extremely short, and successive pregnancies may have been associated with progressively earlier delivery.

Confidence interval (CI)

The CI is used to tell us an estimation of the precision of the OR. If the CI is large then there is low precision of the OR. If the CI is small then there is higher precision of the OR. The 95% CI DOES NOT report statistical significance; it is just an estimate of statistical significance and often is used to state that there is statistical significance if the CI does not cross the null value, which is 1 (ie: OR = 1 means no change in affect). BUT, we cannot say that just bc it crosses the null, or 1, that the information is NOT w/ an association between the exposure and outcome.

Number needed to treat (NNT)

The NNT is 1 divided by prevalence. This is useful when discussing 'prevalence' and how it can be important when discussing/designing a study, etc. In other words, the reciprocal of the NNT estimates the prevalence. The NNT tells me the number of people that would need to be screened to then detect one case that could be treated The NNT is how much of whatever diagnosis or treatment (that is being studied) is needed to diagnose/prevent 1 disease (case) The change in the NNT can help as well. If I was presented with two prevalence values, I could take 1 divided by the difference between the prevalence values and this would give me the change of NNT due to a due treatment or a new procedure, for example. I can also calculate the number needed to benefit (NNB) which is the number needed to be treated/diagnosed with the studied/ said procedure/treatment to then obtain one more successful outcome.

Terbtaline

The beta-adrenergic receptor agonist (terbutaline) can be administered as 0.25mg SQ q20-30min up to 4x, then 0.25 SQ q3-4h I would hold this medication if the maternal HR is >120 bpm I would NOT administer it to a mom w/ hypotension, tremor, palpitations, SOB, chest pain, pulmonary edema, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, poorly controlled diabetes, longstanding HTN, cardiac disease, hyperthyroidism, arrhythmias, or myocardial ischemia; I would not administer if fetal tachycardia is noted I am aware that I can see tachyphylaxis (reduced resonse w/ prolonged exposure), therfore, I typically do not use the medicaion beyond 48-72 hours. FDA warning in 2011: possible behavioral effects in kids later with long term use; I DO NOT use PO terbutaline as it can result in maternal heart problems and death.

NPV of cfDNA for Trisomy 21 is 21%. How would you explain this to a patient?

The probability that the baby does not have Trisomy 21 is 21%

PPV of cfDNA for Trisomy 21 is 79%. How would you explain this to a patient?

The probability that the baby has Trisomy 21 is 79%

What are some limitations to case control studies?

There can be risk to bias as collection is retrospective They compare the 'prevalence of exposure to a potential risk factor' between cases and controls.

Case 26Y G1 presents at 30w1d with complaints of leaking clear fluid. Rupture membranes are confirmed. The patient has concern for labor and is GBS unknown. She has a history of anaphylaxis to PCN. How does this alter your treatment plan?

There is a low risk allergy, can use 1st gen cephalosporin (cefazolin) If a high risk PCN allergy then recommend clindamycin (only if GBS isolate has shown to be susceptible to clinda) I will use vancomycin (based on wt and renal function, dosing at 20mg/kg IV q8h, mas single dose 2gm) if there is no info on clindamycin isolate testing or or testing shows not susceptible to clinda) When appropriate, skin allery testing against PCN is safe to perform in pregnancy

Is testing for protein S deficincy in pregnancy reliable?

This is the only test that is not considered reliable in pregnancy as the levels fluctuate in pregnancy There are cutoffs for each trimester 1st (55%) 2nd (30%) 3rd (34%)

Case 27Y G1 at 22w with ITP presents to the hospital in spontaneous labor at 38w. Her CBC shows a platelet count of 45K. How do you counsel her about her plan for delivery?

Threshold for treatment: Goal for pregnancy is to aim for a platelet count >30,000 throughout pregnancy and >80,000 - 100,000 near term to allow for neuraxial anesthesia. A platelet count of >50,000 cells/uL is goal for pursing a safe cesarean section. She is not able to receive an epidural w/ platelet that low If she has to have a cesarean, my goal would be to have her platelets above 50k Discuss w/ her that with ITP, her platelets have normal function If she experiences bleeding or if surgery is needed, she would need treatment to increase her platelets

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)

Threshold for treatment: Goal for pregnancy is to aim for a platelet count >30,000 throughout pregnancy and >80,000 - 100,000 near term to allow for neuraxial anesthesia. A platelet count of >50,000 cells/uL is goal for pursing a safe cesarean section. Treatment options when threshold is reached: (1st choice) Prednisone (0.5 - 2.0 mg/kg/d or a therapeutic equivalent). If the platelet count improves, the steroid dose can be tapered by 10-20% per week until the lowest dosage required to maintain the platelet count is reached. Improvement usually occurs within 3-7d and reaches a max within 2-3w. (Refractory cases) IVIG (1000mg/kg/d for 2-5days) is reserved for cases refractor to steroids or severe thrombocytopenia (<10,000 or <30,000 in a bleeding patient). (Acute correction) Platelet transfusions (8-10 packs) are utilized as a temporary measure to control life-threatening bleeding or to prepare for surgery. (Rare refractory cases) Splenectomy in pregnancy is reserved for platelets <10,000 cells/uL who are bleeding and are refractory to IVIG and steroids *** Rh(D) immune globulin 75mcg/kg if RhD+ for life threatening situations or immunosuppressant like azathioprine

What is the evaluation of a thyroid mass in prengancy?

Thyroid radionuclide scanning is contraindicated during pregnancy. The indications for fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of the nodule are the same as in nonpregnant patients FNA is safe to perform during pregnancy. However, if there is no evidence of nodular growth, concerning ultrasound features (eg, extension beyond the thyroid or extension adjacent to the trachea or recurrent laryngeal nerve), or development of cervical lymph nodes during the period of observation, many endocrinologists defer FNA until after pregnancy. If surgery is required during pregnancy, the optimal timing is the second trimester. Therefore, the timing of a follow-up ultrasound to assess growth of the nodule should be mid-second trimester if the nodule was first noted in early pregnancy. If the nodule was first noted in later pregnancy, follow-up ultrasound can be deferred to the postpartum period. In most observational studies, thyroid cancer discovered during pregnancy does not significantly impact the prognosis

Varicella

Transmission through respiratroy droplets; highly contagious Pts infectious 1-2 days before lesions until all lesions crusted (6-10days) Assoc. w/ severe complications in pregnancy - Pneumonia 20% - encephalitis - Liver dysfunction - Myocarditis H/o chicken pox is a reliable predictor of immunity >80% of pts w/ no or uncertain history are immune Pregnant women exposed to varicella shoudl be tested for immunity (IgG+) If IgG(-), give Varizig w/in 10 days of exposure. - 90% effective in preventing severe maternal disease - Unknown impact on perinatal transmission

Neonatal varicella

Transplacental varicella infection Greatest risk to neonate if mom develops rash 5 days before or 2 days after delivery - No protective maternal IgG - Neonatal symptoms 5-10 days Treatment with Varizig, isolate - Prevents 50% of neonatal cases and reduces disease severity

Chemotherapy and breast cancer

Trastuzumab (Herceptin): - Monoclonal Ab against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein (HER-2) - Cases of in utero exposure (few) -- Assoc. w/ oligo- or anhydramnios: Possibly, the presence of the HER-2 protein in the fetal renal-tubule epithelial cells ( and not in adult kidneys) can explain a decreased function. -- Delivery of a healthy baby -- Altered renal function and unknown long-term impact in the offspring suggest limiting the use of trastuzumamb during pregnancy -- HER-2 appears to be critical to neural and cardiac development.

What components do you talk about when discussing the concept of risk?

Understanding risk - Prevalence - Incidence Assessing risk - Odds ratio - Relative risk Interpreting the risk assessment - Confidence interval

What are the most common etiologies of recurrent pregnancy loss?

Unexplained (40-50%) Endocrine (17-20%) Autoimmune (20%) Anatomic factors (10-15%) Genetic factors (2-5%) - Monosomy or Trisomy

Odds ratio (OR)

Use w/ case-control or cohort study Overestimates the RR Overestimates the RR Odds of exposure in cases / odds of exposure in controls Odds of exposure in those with disease (A/C) odds of exposure in those without disease (B/D). - (A/C) / (B/D) = AD / CB OR of 1: the risk is equal in both groups (case or control) OR less than 1: exposure has lower odds - Exposure is less likely to lead to the outcome/disease - Exposure decreases risk OR greater than 1: Exposure has higher odds - Exposure is more likely to lead to the outcome/disease - Exposure increases risk

Relative risk (RR)

Use w/ cohort only Incidence of disease in those exposed [A/(A+B)] compared to incidence of disease in those not exposed [C/(C+D)] [A/(A+B)] / [C/(C+D)] RR of 1: no associated RR of 2: double the risk RR of 0.5: half the risk The RR can be important as I can then calculate the relative risk reduction (RRR), which is 1-RR. I can also calculate the attributable relative risk (ARR), which compares risk of exposure - incidence of dz in non-exposed - incidence of dx in exposed - (C/C+D) - (A/A+B) Once the ARR is calculated, I can take 1/ARR which helps clinically to give me the number needed to treat (NNT). If more controls have a poor outcome, then I can see an increase in ARR and thus a decrease in NNT.

Indirect coombs test

Used to detect circulating antibodies in patient's blood against RBCs

How do you explain an Odds Ratio?

Used w/ case-control studies -- Odds in intervention group -- Odds in control group OR <1: Intervention is better than control Example: -- New medication is being compared to placebo for PTB. -- Odds of PTB in medication group 0.4 -- Odds of PTB in placebo group 0.8 -- Therefore OR 0.5 An odds ratio tells you whether the odds in the intervention group are higher or lower than controls

Relative Risk

Used with cohort studies Need to know PREVALENCE in order to estimate risk (which is why you cannot use it with a case-control study) Cannot determined prevalence with case-control studies Interpreted same as odds ratio.

Sample size and Effect size

Usually solving for sample size Effect size must be determined from the literature If you have a false negative result, you can do a post-hoc power analysis which solves for sample size and uses the effect size observed in your study.

How do you delivery a patient in DIC?

Vaginal (avoid CS if able) Delivery planned in OR due to high likelihood of massive hemorrhage and DIC Preparations for uterine atony

Delivery considerations in patients with maternal cardiac disease

Vaginal delivery at term is default approach for all cardiac pts w/ CD for usual OB indications. All cardiac pts may have neuraxial anesthesia Possible exceptions for vaginal delivery at term: - Margan syndrome w/ aorta >4.5cm - Eisenmenger syndrome - Severe aortic stenosis - Severe heart failure Possible exceptions for neuraxial anesthesia: - Any pt who cannot tolerate decreased SVR - Eisenmenger sndrome - Severe aortic stenosis Intrapartum cardiac monitoring only necessary if a history of or new onset arrhythmias.

Draw out a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV table. Take care to show where teh disease and test/exposure are written.

Vertical comparison: - Sensitivity: A / A+C = TP / TP + FN - Specificity: B / B+D = TN / TN+ FP Horizontal comparison: - PPV: A / A+B = TP / TP + FP - NPV: D / C+D = TN / TN + FN

What are some scenarios in which you would place an abdominal (cervicoisthmic) cerclage?

You note no rash on her abdomen. US is performed and the fetus is appropriately grown for the gestational age and no abnormal findings are noted. What do you want to know further from the patient at this time? What labs do you want to send?

What do you want to know further from the patient at this time? [] H/o OCP use, H/o Family members having cholestasis? What labs do you want to send? [] LFTs [] Bile acid [] CBC [] Consider coags (PT/INR, aPTT, fibrinogen) [] Bilirubin

Explain the meaning of this statistic OR 0.5 (95% CI 0.3-0.6), p < 0.03

What does this mean? The odds of PRB in medication group are 50% less than placebo group. The CI does not cross 1 so there is a difference between the groups. The true population effect lies between 70% and 40% decrease in PTB. P-value is <0.05 so this difference is significant

Case 18y G1 at 12w2d is referred for anemia. Her hemoglobin is 8.2 w a hct of 27.3. The MCV is 72. Her lab results show normal iron studies. Hgb electrophoresis HgbA 0%, HgbS 95%, HgbA2 3%, HgbF 2% What does this represent? What is your next step in management for the patient?

What does this represent? Sickle cell anemia (homozygote) No Hgb A, High (80%+ HbS), and <3.5% of HbA2. When you get >3.5% HgbA2 you are dealing with betal thalassemia, or some mixing form of it What is your next step in management for the patient? Hematology referral Hgb electrophoresis for FOB w/ genetics consult Goals H/H Urine culture monthly Monthly CBCs

Case 37Y G1 presents at 12w. She reports palpating a painless lump in her left breast and some intermittent nipple discharge. What is you initial workup? What is your DDx?

What is you initial workup? - H&P - Imaging: US/Mammography. Possible MRI - Key is not to delay diagnosis (1mo dxnd elay increases risk of nodal involvement). - Biopsy (Gold standard) What is your DDx? - Benign: Lactating adenoma, fibroadenoma, ductal epithelium/lobular hyperplasia, galactocele, other cystic disease - Malignant: Most common is infiltrating ductal adenocardinoma, ductal, lobular

Case 18y G1 at 12w2d is referred for anemia. Her hemoglobin is 8.2 w a hct of 27.3. The MCV is 72. What is your DDx? What is your initial workup?

What is your DDx? Iron deficiency anemia Thalassemia (alpha or beta) Sickle cell disease Sideroblastic anemia Lead poisoning What is your initial workup? H&P (bleeding history, FHx) Lab: - Repeat CBC - Ferritin (*** tells you stored iron >30 normal, <30 iron deficient. Downside is that it is an acute phase reactant, therefore, in an acutely ill pt it could be falsely elevated) - TIBC - Transferrin - Serum iron - Possible coagulation studies (maybe not) - Hgb electrophoresis

Case A 35Y G2P1 at 32w presents to triage complaining of flu symptoms. Inital VS: BP 100/60, P 114, RR 18, T38.2, Sat 90% Exam: Lungs: CTAB HT: RRR Abd: gravid, soft, tenderness in upper abdomen, no rebound. Bilateral CVA tenderness R>L. Laboratory returns: WBC 13,000 w/ 1% bands Hgb 12.1 Plt 244,000 sCr 1.2 Electrolytes normal Lactate 2.8 UA: +nit, +LE, bact, +WBC What is your diagnosis?

What is your diagnosis: - Pyelonephritis - Sepsis (meets criteria for sepsis given infection with evidence of end-organ dysfunction) Elevated lactate indicates poor perfusion Increased creatinine concerning for renal dysfunction

Case 18y G1 at 17w5d presents to the office for platelets of 66. Repeat CBC returns w a platelet count of 88k and blood smear shows no clumping of platelets. All other workuo is normal (whever the candidate asked for; lupus, HIV, HepC, etc). She reports a history of heavy periods requiring blood transfusions and a sister who had the same issues. She also thinks her aunt had some blood issue and was always bruising. She reports in herself easy bruising and that her gums often bleed when brushing her teeth. She recalls ' al ot of bleeding' after she had a tooth extracted. The patient's vWF level returns at 20%. What is your diagnosis? What is our next step in management?

What is your diagnosis? von Willebrand disease What is our next step in management? (in your mind think what do I want to do antepartum and how would I manage her in labor, can answer either way, usually start with AP management) [] Antepartum - Obtain baseline Factor VIII and von Willebrand Factor and vWF restocetin cofactro activity levels and repeat each trimester and a week before delivery (assuming it requires 1 week for results). - Maintain Factor VIII and vWF ristocetin cofactor activity levels at least 50 IU/dL prior to vaginal delivery 100% for cesarean section andat least 3-5 days afterward. - Refer to Hematology for co-management - Perform genetic consultation - Counsel to avoid antiplatelet drugs and IM injections [] Intrapartum period - Aim for vWF ristocetin cofactor activity levels as listed above - Obtain Anesthesia consultation and alter the pt that regional anesthesia can be considered if vWF and Factor VIII levels are maintained above 50 IU/dL - Plan to administer DDAVP intranasally (elicits the release of vWF from endothelial cells, can be used emergently or preoperatively IV - Plan to have Factor 8 and vWF concentratiosn if the pt does not respond to DDAVP. - Monitor Factor 8 levels for 7 days post-op cesarean section adn maintain the level greater than 25% - Avoid an episiotomy and deep injectino of local anesthesia if possible. - Again, avoid antiplatelet drugs - Avoid fetal scalp electrode unless necessary and assume that the fetus could also be affected by von Willebrand disease. Avoid circumcision of the newborn male infant until von Willebrand disease is ruled.

37Y G1 presents at 28w. She reports palpating a painless lump in her left breast and some intermittent nipple discharge. The diagnosis of breast cancer has been made for this patient. She decides to proceed with chemotherapy. The patient finishes her thired chemotherapy cycle at 34w. Her Oncologist plans for 7 total cycles. What is your ideal plan for delivery in this G1 w/ a cephalic fetus? What are risk factors associated w/ chemotherapy in pregnancy? What are risk factors associated with radiation?

What is your ideal plan for delivery in this G1 w/ a cephalic fetus? - Ideally deliver should occur 3 weeks after the last cycle of chemo to allow the bone marrow to recover and hence the WVC to not be too low What are risk factors associated w/ chemotherapy in pregnancy? - Miscarriage, fetal hematologic suppression, FGR, oligohydramnios, premature delivery, anomalies (most in 1st trimester) What are risk factors associated with radiation? - Miscarriage (early 1st tri), congenital anomalies (eye, skeletal, genitalia) in 1st tri, cognitive delay, microcephaly.

What is your initial work-up? H&P Lab: CBC, CMP, UA (reflex culture), lipase, lactate, flu swap Fetal monitoring: CFEM (initially) Imaging: abdominal US, CXR, OB US

Case 27Y G1 at 22w with ITP presents to clinic at 28w. You send routine CBC and the platelet count returns at 25K. The patient is asymptomatic (recall she is a G1). What is your plan at this time? She tells you she is allergic to prednisone. What is your next option?

What is your plan at this time? - Involve Hematology - Consider steroid treatment She tells you she is allergic to prednisone. What is your next option? - Hematology to manage IVIG

Case If a patient with breast cancer during pregnancy decides to start chemotherapy at 28w. What is your plan for fetal assessment during this time? Regarding delivery, is anything different?

What is your plan for fetal assessment during this time? - I would perform serial growth USs and antenatal testing (remember fluid level issues?) Regarding delivery, is anything different? - I would send the placenta to pathology to evaluate for any possible placental metastasis. Depending on the timing of her last chemo cycle, that could help guide management. I would attempt to schedule IOL around this time, as necessary, given the possible changes to the mother's blood counts. Watch neonate closely for every 6 months over the following 2 years

Umbilical artery Doppler: How to perform?

Where to sample? - Umbilicus - SMFM - Free loop - ISUOG - Placental insertion Indices tend to be higher at the placental end Standardization of sampling site is important when following fetuses serially Color flow and gain adjusted to scale Gate adjusted to include only UA Angle of intonation kept to low to maximize both systolic and diastolic flow (better accuracy of Doppler)

Case 18y G1 at 17w5d presents to the office for platelets of 66. Repeat CBC returns w a platelet count of 88k and blood smear shows no clumping of platelets. All other workuo is normal (whever the candidate asked for; lupus, HIV, HepC, etc). She reports a history of heavy periods requiring blood transfusions and a sister who had the same issues. She also thinks her aunt had some blood issue and was always bruising. She reports in herself easy bruising and that her gums often bleed when brushing her teeth. She recalls ' al ot of bleeding' after she had a tooth extracted. What is your working diagnosis at this time? What labs would you like to order at this time?

What is your working diagnosis at this time? ITP Hemophilia's - vWD - Factor 8 - congenital - Factor 9- congenital - Factor 7-acquired - SLE What labs would you like to order at this time? - I would assess further for hemophilia riks given teh FHx an dpersonal hx provided. - Factor 8 (assessing for hemophila A) - Factor 9 (assessing for hemophilia B) - Factor 7 (considered congenital) - Von Willebrand factor, vWF ristocetin cofactor activity level.

Design a study to determine if maternal mortality is higher in women with multiple gestations

What questions do we ask to decide which study design is best? Is it a rare disease or does it have a long latency? - If yes: case-control Are you looking at more than one outcome? - if yes: case-control Is the exposure rare? - If yes: Cohort Are you looking at more than one outcome? - If yes: Cohort Answer: Best study would be a case-control

Design a study to determine if Polymorphic Eruption of Pregnancy (PEP aka PUPPS) syndrome is associated w/ fetal growth restriction.

Study example: you have been tasked w/ creating a study. You plan to enroll people who have the diagnosis of lupus and you want to see if they have every been exposed to Medicine X. - What type of study is this that you will be performing? - How will you express your data to further counsel individuals on the association between Medicine X and lupus? - What is the difference between the odds ratio and the relative risk?

What type of study is this that you will be performing? - Case control study How will you express your data to further counsel individuals on the association between Medicine X and lupus? - I would use odds ratios, as this is a case control study What is the difference between the odds ratio and the relative risk? - Case control studies are considered observational as no intervention is made. Case control studies only use ODDS RATIOS. When performing a cohort study I could use the OR (which will estimate the RR) or I can calculate the RR. If I use the OR in those instances it will always overestimate the RR>

Study example: A study looked at people who became ill and compared whether thy had eaten BBQ or not. - What type of study is this? - What does it mean if the OR is 0.6? - What does it mean if the OR is 1.5?

What type of study is this? Case-control (as starting w/ the disease, being ill) What does it mean if the OR is 0.6? That those who ate BBQ (exposed) were 40% less likely to get ill (outcome/disease). What does it mean if the OR is 1.5? That those who ate BBQ (exposed) were 50% more likely to get ill (outcome/disease)

Confounding variable

When a characteristic or a variable is not distributed the same in the study versus control group that then affects the outcome that is being addressed. This type of variable can be from chance or bias(and when from bias, since this is during the assessment process, it is called selection bias).

In the contest of substance abuse, what are some referrals you can pursue?

When opioid use disorder (OUD) is diagnosed, the recommendation is opioid agonist pharmacotherapy (aka medication assisted treatment, MAT) over medical withdrawal (due to documented high relapse rates. However, more recent data does not support that medical withdrawal has increased rates of IUFD or PTDS, but more data is needed. I would familiarize myself with local referral centers to coordinate a multi-disciplinary approach to provide medical, developmental, and social servcies

Selection bias

When the groups chosen differ by at least one characteristic that affects the study outcome; is a type of confounding variable.

Case Do you recommend patietn's w/ anxiety/depression be treated pharmacologically in pregnancy?

Yes. Bc if not treated there is a risk of postpartum depression and anxiety. Also, if not treated, the patient may not bond w/ the fetus/neonate. Furthermore, anxiety that is not under control has been associated with miscarriage, preterm labor, preterm birth, and prolonged labor. I would also recommend she see a mental health provider regularly. If using benzodiazepines, I will consider those that are longer acting (such as clonazepam-Klonipin) over short acting (alprazolam-Xanax) to decrease habitual use. Screening for depression is recommended once during the perinatal period and at patient's postpartum visit I use validated screening tool for this. I choose to use the Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (or Patient Health Questionnaire 9) as it takes less than 5 minutes, is available in Spanish and has rather high sensitivity and specificity. ** CO 630 2015

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy: Management

[ ] Recommend that ursodeoxycholic acid be used as the first-line agent for the treatment of maternal symptoms of cholestasis of pregnancy [ ] Hydroxyzine (Vistaril 25mg q8hr prn pruritis [ ] Benadryl prn, cool showers, lotion after showers, Aveeno baths [ ] Suggest that patients with a diagnosis of ICP begin antenatal fetal surveillance at a gestational age when delivery would be performed in response to abnormal fetal testing or at the time of diagnosis if the diagnosis is made later in gestation. [ ] Repeat labs can be done of bile acids and LFTs depending on symptoms; consider assessing coagulation studies, and if PTT is elevated the patietn may be Vitamin K deficient [ ] Recommend that patients with total bile acid levels =100 micromol/L be offered delivery at 36w0d of gestation, given that the risk for stillbirth increases substantially around this gestational age. [ ] Recommend delivery between 36w0d and 37w0d of gestation for patients with ICP and total bile acid levels <100 micromol/L. [ ] Recommend antenatal corticosteroids for fetal lung maturity for patients delivered before 37w0d of gestation if not previously treated. [ ] Recommend against preterm delivery at <37w of gestation in patients with a clinical diagnosis of ICP without laboratory confirmation with elevated bile acids

[] CBC every trimester if asymptomatic, more often if sxns [] Avoid NSAIDS [] If history of splenectomy, immunization needed against pnumococcus, H.Flue, meningococcus. [] Unknown if treatments for moms plates will increase fetal platelets [] No recommendations for CD over VD - doesn't change rate of fetal intracranial hemorrhage [] Not able to predict fetal platelet levels for moms with ITP and no testing to check fetal blood is recommended. [] At delivery infant needs cord blood plt count and IM injection for the enonate such as vitamin K shoudl be held until plt count returns. Watch for 2-5 days as nadirs then.

Case 20Y G1 at 16w presents for consultation regarding Crohn's disease in pregnancy. She was diagnosed at 14yrs of age and is currently taking weekly Humira (adalimumab) and as needed ibuprofen for arthralgias. She was intermittent diarrhea and constipation. Her diagnosis was made w/ a biopsy at time of colonoscopy. How do you counsel the patient regarding her current medication regimen?

[] I would dsicuss continued use of the weekly Humira injections after reviewing risks/benefits w/ her. [] I would review that NSAIDS can cause decreased amniotic fluid levels or early narrowing of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus. She can continue as needed use until 32w, at which time all NSAIDS should be discontinued. If she has regular NSAID use prior to 32w i would evaluate weekly AFI and consider DA measurements. [] She can consider short doses of steroids for flares.

20y G2P1001 at 27w presents with left sided flank pain. She reports that it is colicky in nature. She has no fever, chills, nausea, or emesis. Imaging is performed confirming a left kidney stone. Reports states moderate left sided hydronephrosis, CBC and CMP are normal. UA shows moderate blood. What is your treatment plan?

[] Strain urine [] control pain with po/iv meds [] Medications to help pass stone such as antispasmotic, CCB like nifedipine, or an alpha blocker like tamsulosin. There is a higher rate of passing the stone with tamsulosin (Flomax) which is a smooth muscle relaxant for the bladder; it is most helpful if stone is 10mm or less

What is acute chest syndrome?

vaso-oclusion in pulmonary microcirculation presents with CP, SOB, lung infiltrates often precipitated by pneumonia MC cause of death in adult patients Complication of irreversible sickling New radiodensity on CXR accompanied by fever and/or respiratory symptoms Leading cause of death Diagnostic criteria: - Temp > or = 38.5 C - Hypoxia - Tachypnea - Chest pain - Cough, wheezing, rales

When do you evaluate patients for recurrent pregnancy loss?

≥SAB (reasonable after two) Consider after two if: - Fetal cardiac activity seen prior to loss - AMA - Couple with difficulty in conception - FHx of pregnanly loss/aneuploidy
