RESUMO
Objective: Evaluate the prevalence of macrosomic newborns (birth weight above 4000 grams) in a high-risk maternity from 2014 to 2019, as well as the maternal characteristics involved, risk factors, mode of delivery and associated outcomes, comparing newborns weighing 4000-4500 grams and those weighing above 4500 grams. Methods: This is an observational study, case-control type, carried out by searching for data in hospital's own system and clinical records. The criteria for inclusion in the study were all patients monitored at the service who had newborns with birth weight equal than or greater than 4000 grams in the period from January 2014 to December 2019, being subsequently divided into two subgroups (newborns with 4000 to 4500 grams and newborns above 4500 grams). After being collected, the variables were transcribed into a database, arranged in frequency tables. For treatment and statistical analysis of the data, Excel and R software were used. This tool was used to create graphs and tables that helped in the interpretation of the results. The statistical analysis of the variables collected included both simple descriptive analyzes as well as inferential statistics, with univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. Results: From 2014 to 2019, 3.3% of deliveries were macrosomic newborns. The average gestational age in the birth was 39.4 weeks. The most common mode of delivery (65%) was cesarean section. Diabetes mellitus was present in 30% of the deliveries studied and glycemic control was absent in most patients. Among the vaginal deliveries, only 6% were instrumented and there was shoulder dystocia in 21% of the cases. The majority (62%) of newborns had some complication, with jaundice (35%) being the most common. Conclusion: Birth weight above 4000 grams had a statistically significant impact on the occurrence of neonatal complications, such as hypoglycemia, respiratory distress and 5th minute APGAR less than 7, especially if birth weight was above 4500 grams. Gestational age was also shown to be statistically significant associated with neonatal complications, the lower, the greater the risk. Thus, macrosomia is strongly linked to complications, especially neonatal complications.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the iodine sufficiency of pregnant women assisted in a University Hospital of Minas Gerais, and to correlate the urinary concentrations of maternal iodine with the fetal thyroid hormone levels at birth. METHODS: Urinary iodine concentrations from 30 pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy and gestational age lower than 20 weeks were analyzed. Occasional samples of the mothers' urine were collected for the urinary iodine concentration dosage, and these were correlated with the newborns' thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. RESULTS: The median iodine urinary concentration of this study's pregnant women population was 216.73 mcg/l, which is proper for the group, following the World Health Organization (WHO). No cases of neonatal hypothyroidism were reported in the study, which corroborates the iodine sufficiency in this population sample. CONCLUSION: This study shows that despite the increased demand for iodine from pregnant women and the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) recommendation of 2013 for reduction of salt iodization levels, the population of pregnant women attended in the prenatal ambulatory of normal risk from the Federal University of Minas Gerais is considered sufficient in iodine. As a higher sample is necessary for the confirmation of these findings, it is too early to recommend the universal supplementation of iodine for Brazilian pregnant women, and more studies must be carried out, considering that iodine supplementation for pregnant women in an area of iodine sufficiency is associated to the risks of the fetus's excessive exposure to iodine.
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a suficiência iódica de gestantes atendidas em um Hospital Universitário de Minas Gerais e correlacionar as concentrações urinárias de iodo materno com os níveis de hormônios tireoidianos fetais ao nascimento. MéTODOS: Foi analisada a concentração urinária de iodo de 30 gestantes com gestação única e idade gestacional menor que 20 semanas. Foram coletadas amostras ocasionais de urina materna para dosagem da concentração urinária de iodo, e estas foram correlacionadas com os níveis de hormônio estimulante da tiroide (TSH) dos recém-nascidos. RESULTADOS: A mediana da concentração urinária de iodo das gestantes estudadas foi de 216,73 mcg/L, sendo adequada para o grupo segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS). Não houve nenhum caso de hipotireoidismo neonatal no estudo, o que corrobora a suficiência de iodo nesta amostra populacional. CONCLUSãO: Esse estudo demonstra que apesar do aumento da demanda de iodo pelas gestantes e da recomendação da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA) de 2013 da redução dos níveis de iodação do sal, a população de gestantes atendidas no ambulatório de pré-natal de risco habitual da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais é considerada suficiente em iodo. Apesar de uma maior amostragem ser necessária para a confirmação destes achados, é cedo para recomendar a suplementação universal de iodo para as gestantes brasileiras e mais estudos precisam ser realizados, levando-se em conta que a suplementação de iodo para gestantes em áreas suficientes em iodo está associada aos riscos da exposição excessiva de iodo ao feto.

OBJECTIVE: Determine the predictive criteria for success in inducing labor for live fetuses using misoprostol in pregnant women. Secondarily, the objective is to determine the rates of vaginal or cesarean delivery, duration of induction, interval of administration of misoprostol, the main causes of induction of labor and indication for operative delivery. METHODS: Medical records of 873 pregnant women admitted for cervical maturation from January 2017 to December 2018 were reviewed in a descriptive observational study of retrospective analysis, considering the following response variables: age, parity, Bishop Index, doses of misoprostol, labor induction time. Logistic regression models were used to predict success with misoprostol in non-operative deliveries. RESULTS: Of the 873 patients evaluated, 72% evolved with vaginal delivery, 23% of the cases were cesarean, 5% forceps or vacuum-extractor. For non-operative delivery the predictive variables at admission were age, parity, gestational age and dilation. During hospitalization, fewer vaginal touches, amniotomy or amniorrhexis with clear fluid lead to a shorter induction time and a greater chance of non-operative delivery. False positives and false negatives of the model were always below 50% and correct answers above 65%. CONCLUSION: At admission, age less than 24 years, previous normal births, lower the gestational age and greater the dilation, were predictive of greater probability of non-operative delivery. During hospitalization, the less vaginal touches and occurrence of amniotomy/amniorrhexis with clear liquid indicate shorter induction time. Future studies with a prospective design and analysis of other factors are necessary to assess the replicability, generalization of these findings.
OBJETIVO: Determinar os critérios preditivos para o sucesso na indução do trabalho de parto para fetos vivos utilizando misoprostol em gestantes. Em segundo lugar, o objetivo é determinar as taxas de parto vaginal ou cesáreo, duração da indução, intervalo de administração de misoprostol, as principais causas de indução do trabalho de parto e indicação para parto operatório. MéTODOS: Foram revisados os prontuários de 873 gestantes internadas para amadurecimento cervical entre janeiro de 2017 e dezembro de 2018 em um estudo descritivo observacional de análise retrospectiva, considerando as variáveis-resposta: idade, paridade, Índice de Bishop, doses de misoprostol, tempo de indução do trabalho de parto. Modelos de regressão logística foram utilizados para prever o sucesso com misoprostol em partos não operatórios. RESULTADOS: Dos 873 pacientes avaliados, 72% evoluíram com parto vaginal, 23% dos casos foram cesáreos, 5% fórceps ou vácuo-extrator. Para o parto não operatório as variáveis preditivas na internação foram idade, paridade, idade gestacional e dilatação. Durante a internação, um menor número de toques vaginais, amniotomia ou amniorrexe com líquido claro, levam a menor tempo de indução e maior chance de parto não operatório. Falsos positivos e falsos negativos do modelo sempre foram inferiores a 50% e respostas corretas acima de 65%. CONCLUSãO: Na internação, idade menor que 24 anos, ocorrência de partos normais anteriores, menor idade gestacional e maior dilatação, foram preditivos de maior probabilidade de parto não-operatório. Durante a internação, o menor número de toques vaginais, amniotomia/amniorrexe com líquido claro indicam menor tempo de indução. Estudos futuros com design prospectivo e análise de outros fatores são necessários para avaliar a replicabilidade, generalização desses achados.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the predictive abilities of serum and urinary cystatin C levels for glomerular lesions in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia. METHODS: In this study, kidney function markers were compared between38 pregnant women with pre-eclampsia and 22 healthy pregnant women. RESULTS: The serum and urine levels of cystatin C and urea were significantly higher in the pre-eclampsia group than in the control group. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that the serum cystatin C level (91.7%) had a superior diagnostic accuracy for pre-eclampsia than the other markers. CONCLUSION: Serum cystatin C level maybe a significant marker of pre-eclampsia.

Resumo A constatação de que o feto é portador de malformação congênita enquadra-se como má notícia, e sua comunicação à gestante envolve conflitos éticos relativos à medicina fetal e neonatologia. A quebra de expectativas dos pais quanto ao filho idealizado desperta sentimentos antagônicos, e o modo de processar a notícia e até mesmo a eventual decisão de interromper a gestação podem ser diretamente influenciados pela forma como o fato é comunicado pela equipe. Para os casos em que a criança nasce com vida, a decisão de iniciar cuidados paliativos também deve ser compartilhada, viabilizando o exercício da parentalidade responsável. Contudo, é comum que a família solicite distanásia e obstinação terapêutica, quando não adequadamente esclarecida sobre o prognóstico da doença. São discutidos no estudo aspectos relacionados à adequada comunicação na relação médico-paciente, fundamental ao exercício da autonomia e ao dever de informar, cuja violação é passível de responsabilização nas esferas cível e ético-profissional.
Abstract The communication to the pregnant woman that her fetus has congenital abnormality is framed by what is meant by bad news, surrounded by ethical conflicts experienced in fetal medicine and neonatology. The couple's breach of expectations about their idealized child arouses antagonistic feelings; The manner of elaboration of the news and even the eventual decision to terminate the pregnancy will be directly influenced as the fact was communicated by the team. For cases in which the child is born alive, the decision to adopt Palliative Care should also be shared, providing the exercise of responsible parenting. It is common, however, the request by the family of practices that configure dysthanasia and therapeutic obstinacy, when not adequately clarified about the prognosis of the disease. Aspects related to proper communication in the physician-patient relationship are discussed, fundamental to the exercise of autonomy and the duty to inform, whose violation leads to liability in the civil and ethical-professional spheres.
Resumen La constatación de que el feto sufre una malformación congénita se enmarca en lo que se entiende por malas noticias, y su comunicación a la gestante implica conflictos éticos relativos a la medicina fetal y a la neonatología. La frustración de las expectativas de la pareja sobre su hijo idealizado despierta sentimientos antagónicos, y la manera de procesar la noticia e incluso la eventual decisión de interrumpir el embarazo pueden ser directamente influenciadas por la manera en que el equipo comunica el hecho. Para los casos en que el niño nace con vida, la decisión de adoptar cuidados paliativos también debe compartirse, para hacer viable el ejercicio de la parentalidad responsable. Sin embargo, es común que la familia solicite la distanasia y la obstinación terapéutica, cuando no se le aclara adecuadamente sobre el pronóstico de la enfermedad. En este estudio se discuten aspectos relacionados con la comunicación adecuada en la relación médico-paciente, fundamental al ejercicio de la autonomía y al deber de informar, cuya violación es pasible de responsabilidad civil y ético-profesional.
