The role of aspirin in prevention of preeclampsia in twin pregnancies: does the dose matter?
Kalafat, Erkan; Shirazi, Amani; Thilaganathan, Basky; Khalil, Asma (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01)
Objective The use of aspirin in twin pregnancies for the prevention of preeclampsia is a controversial topic, and evidence on the required dose of aspirin is scarce. We aimed to assess the efficacy of 75 mg/day vs 150 mg/day aspirin for the prevention of preeclampsia in twin pregnancies. Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study of twin pregnancies managed at St George’s University Hospital between 2012 and 2019. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guideline published in 2010 has...
Is home blood-pressure monitoring in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy consistent with clinic recordings?
Kalafat, E.; Mir, I.; Perry, H.; Thilaganathan, B.; Khalil, A. (Wiley, 2018-10-01)
Objective To assess the agreement between home blood-pressure monitoring (HBPM) and blood-pressure measurements in a clinic setting, in a cohort of pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP).
Is umbilicocerebral ratio better than cerebroplacental ratio for predicting adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes?
Kalafat, Erkan; Kalaylioglu, Zeynep; Thilaganathan, Basky; Khalil, Asma (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01)
Objective A secondary analysis of the trial of randomized umbilical and fetal flow in Europe suggested that the umbilicocerebral ratio (UCR) provides better differentiation of neurodevelopmental outcome in the abnormal range compared with that of the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR).1 However, the reported superiority of UCR is controversial.2 This study aimed to compare the CPR and the UCR for predicting operative delivery for presumed fetal compromise and prolonged neonatal unit (NNU) admission in term fetus...
Adjusted leptin level (ALL) is a predictor for hyperemesis gravidarum
Demir, B; Erel, CT; Haberal, A; Ozturk, N; Guler, D; Kocak, M (Elsevier BV, 2006-02-01)
Objective: To compare the maternal serum leptin level according to the gestational week and to assess the relationship between the adjusted serum leptin level and thyroid hormones. In order to obtain this objective a new parameter is developed: adjusted leptin level (ALL: maternal serum leptin level/gestational week).
Maternal cardiovascular function and risk of intrapartum fetal compromise in women undergoing induction of labor: pilot study
Kalafat, E.; Barratt, I.; Nawaz, A.; Thilaganathan, B.; Khalil, A. (Wiley, 2020-08-01)
Objective Identification of the fetus at risk of intrapartum compromise has many benefits. Impaired maternal cardiovascular function is associated with placental hypoperfusion predisposing to intrapartum fetal distress. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive accuracy of maternal hemodynamics for the risk of operative delivery due to presumed fetal compromise in women undergoing induction of labor (IOL). Methods In this prospective cohort study, patients were recruited between November 2018 and J...
