There is still a lack of reliable clinical tools to predict the incidence of HDP. The purpose of this study was to establish and validate a nomogram prediction model for assessing the risk of HDP in pregnant women based on laboratory indicators and HDP risk factors. Method: A total of 307 pregnant women who were hospitalized in the obstetrics and gynecology department of our hospital were included in this study, and were randomly divided into a training cohort and validation cohort at a ratio of 7:3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for the development of HDP on laboratory indicators as well as risk factors for HDP in the training cohort of patients. The results of the multivariate regression model were visualized by forest plots. A nomogram was constructed based on the results of multivariate logistic regression to predict the risk of HDP in pregnant women. The validity of the risk prediction model was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), the consistency index (C-index), the calibration curve and the decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: BMI ≥ 25 Kg/m2, total cholesterol in early pregnancy, uric acid and proteinuria in late pregnancy were independent risk factors for HDP. The AUC and C-index of the nomogram constructed by the above four factors were both 0.848. The calibration curve is closely fitted with the ideal diagonal, showing a good consistency between the nomogram prediction and the actual observation of HDP. The DCA has demonstrated the great clinical utility of nomogram. Internal verification proves the reliability of the predicted nomograms. Conclusion: The BTUP nomogram model based on laboratory indicators and risk factors proposed in this study showed good predictive value for the risk assessment of HDP. It is expected to provide evidence for clinical prediction of the risk of HDP in pregnant women.展开更多

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the goal-directed fluid therapy （GDFT） with LiDCOrapid system can improve well-being of both HDP parturient and their babies. Methods： Fifty-two stable HDP parturient scheduled for elective cesarean delivery were recruited. After loading with 10 ml/kg lactated Ringer＇s solution （LR）, parturient were randomized to the GDFT and control group. In the GDFT group, individualized fluid therapy was guided by increase in stroke volume （ASV） provided via LiDCO rapid system. The control group received the routine fluid therapy. The primary endpoints included maternal hypotension and the doses of vasopressors administered prior to fetal delivery. The secondary endpoints included umbilical blood gas abnormalities and neonatal adverse events. Results： The severity of HDP was similar between two groups. The total LR infusion （P 〈 0.01） and urine output （P 〈 0.05） were higher in the GDFT group than in the control group. Following twice fluid challenge tests, the systolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, cardiac output and SV in the GDFT group were significantly higher, and the heart rate was lower than in the control group. The incidence of maternal hypotension and doses of phenylephrine used prior to fetal delivery were significantly higher in the control group than in the GDFT group （P 〈 0.01）. There were no differences in the Apgar scores between two groups. In the control group, the mean values of pH in umbilical artery/vein were remarkably decreased （P 〈 0.05）, and the incidences of neonatal hypercapnia and hypoxemia were statistically increased （P 〈 0.05） than in the GDFT group. Conclusions： Dynamic responsiveness guided fluid therapy with the LiDCOrapid system may provide potential benefits to stable HDP parturient and their babies.展开更多

We analyzed the high-risk factors inducing hypertensive disorders in pregnancy （HDP） and estimated the potential effect of anti-oxidants administration, including vitamin C （VC）, vitamin E （VE） and Salvia Miltiorrhiza L （SML）, a Chinese herb medicine, in amelioration of the high-risk factors in pregnancy. Methods From April 2005 to July 2006, 4814 pregnant women from 24 national wide cooperative hospitals were involved in this prospective research. The participants were randomly divided into two groups： 1607 cases were in anti-oxidants group with administration of vitamins and SML; 3207 cases were in control group without any medicine given. Every participant was under monitoring for the morbidity of HDP and the high-risk factors were investigated in HDP cases in each group. Results （1）The morbidity of HDP was 3.55% in anti-oxidants group vs. 4.18% in control group. No statistical difference existed between the two groups （P〉0.05）. （2） In anti-oxidants group, the HDP morbidities among three subgroups： VC ＋ VE ＋ SML, VC ＋ VE and SML only, were 5.51%, 3.05% and 5% respectively. It showed no statistical difference among three remedies （P 〉0.05）. （3） The related index of factors affecting HDP showed in intensity sequence as follows： family HDP history 〉 profession 〉 education level 〉 age 〉 body weight. The incidence of HDP in normal population was 3.51%, and the incidence of HDP in high-risk pregnant women （family HDP history, heavy physical labor, low education level （middle school and below）, age 〉40, body mass index 〉24） was 5.84%, which was obviously higher than that in normal population （P 〈0.01）. In anti-oxidants group, the probability of HDP in women with high-risk factors was 3.81%, which was obviously lower than that in control group with high-risk factors at 7.14% （P〈0.01）. （4） In control group, the morbidity of HDP in women with family HDP history （especially with sisters＇）, heavy physical labor, middle school and below, age 〉35 was： 50.00%, 15.22%, 6.33%, 26.28% and 5.75%, respectively, and that in anti-oxidants group was 0, 7.69%, 3.74%, 9.27% and 2.67%, respectively, which was obviously lower than that in control group. Conclusions The high-risk factors prone to induce HDP included： family history of HDP, heavy physical labor, low education level, aging and obesity. No impressive effect of anti-oxidants application was found in preventing HDP in general population but the remedy demonstrated positive effect on preventing HDP in pregnant women with high-risk factors.展开更多
