Abstract

Objective

Postpartum hemoglobin (Hb) levels may impact maternal and breast-fed newborn well being and health. Yet, the sources of variation in maternal postpartum Hb levels are poorly understood. We set to investigate whether age has an effect on postpartum Hb levels, and if this effect is similar in different ethnic groups.

Study design

The birth records of over 200,000 births in a tertiary medical center were scanned for the first and second births to Jewish and Bedouin mothers in Israel. Age trends in Hb levels were analyzed using linear and bi-linear models. Confounding factors were eliminated by testing the significance of the preferred model in homogenous sub-populations.

Results

In Jewish Israeli mothers, postpartum hemoglobin level follow a bi-linear trend, peaking at the age of 27–31 years, both during the first and second births. In Israeli Bedouin mothers, a linear decline is observed through all ages.

Conclusion

These results suggest an ethnic difference in the age trends of postpartum Hb levels. Clinically, significant changes may occur between the ages of 27 and 30 years.

Ambulantisierung: Erste Erfahrungen mit dem Hybrid-DRG

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Hybrid-DRG-Verordnung soll dazu führen, dass mehr chirurgische Eingriffe ambulant durchgeführt werden, wie es in anderen Ländern schon länger üblich ist. Die gleiche Vergütung im ambulanten und stationären Sektor hatten Niedergelassene schon lange gefordert. Aber die Umsetzung bereitet ihnen doch Kopfzerbrechen.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Harninkontinenz: Netz-Op. erfordert über lange Zeit intensive Nachsorge

30.04.2024 Harninkontinenz Nachrichten

Frauen mit Belastungsinkontinenz oder Organprolaps sind nach einer Netz-Operation keineswegs beschwerdefrei. Vielmehr scheint die Krankheitslast weiterhin hoch zu sein, sogar höher als von harninkontinenten Frauen, die sich nicht haben operieren lassen.

Welche Übungen helfen gegen Diastase recti abdominis?

30.04.2024 Schwangerenvorsorge Nachrichten

Die Autorinnen und Autoren einer aktuellen Studie aus Griechenland sind sich einig, dass Bewegungstherapie, einschließlich Übungen zur Stärkung der Bauchmuskulatur und zur Stabilisierung des Rumpfes, eine Diastase recti abdominis postpartum wirksam reduzieren kann. Doch vieles ist noch nicht eindeutig belegt.
