BACKGROUND: Uterus transplantation (UTx) is a novel type of transplantation to treat infertility in women with an absent or nonfunctioning uterus. The International Society of Uterus Transplantation (ISUTx) has developed a registry to monitor worldwide UTx activities while serving as a repository for specific research questions. METHODS: The web-based registry has separate data fields for donor, recipient, surgeries, immunosuppression, rejections, pregnancies with live birth(s), and transplant hysterectomies. Data are prospectively registered. RESULTS: A total of 45 UTx procedures have been registered; the majority (78%) of those procedures were live donor (LD) transplants. Median age of the LDs, deceased donors, and recipients were 50 y (range 32-62), 38.5 y (19-57), and 29 y (22-38), respectively. The duration of LD surgery was approximately twice as long as the recipient surgery. Postoperative complications of any Clavien-Dindo grade were registered in 20% of LDs and 24% of recipients. Rejection episodes were more frequent (33%) early after transplantation (months 1-5) compared with later time points (months 6-10; 21%). Healthy neonates were delivered by 16 recipients, with 3 women giving birth twice. The total live birth rate per embryo transfer was 35.8%. Median length of pregnancy was 35 gestational weeks. Twelve uteri were removed without childbirth, with 9 transplant hysterectomies occurring during the initial 7 mo post-UTx. CONCLUSIONS: A mandatory registry is critical to determine quality and process improvement for any novel transplantation. This registry provides a detailed analysis of 45 UTx procedures performed worldwide with a thorough analysis of outcomes and complications.

AIMS: The sex ratio at birth approximates 0.515 (male : total, M/T), with 515 boys per 485 girls. Many factors have been shown to influence M/T including acute and chronic stress. Increasing maternal age is associated with a decline in M/T. In Aotearoa New Zealand, circa 15% of the population identify as of Māori heritage. This populationis generally considered to be socioeconomically disadvantaged. This study analysed M/T for Māori and non-Māori M/T births in Aotearoa New Zealand and relates these to mean maternal age at delivery. METHODS: Live births by sex and maternal age at delivery were available from the website of Tatauranga Aotearoa Stats NZ for 1997-2021. RESULTS: This study analysed 1,474,905 births (28.4% Māori) Pooled data shows that Māori M/T is significantly higher than non-Māori M/T (chi = 6.8, p = 0.009). Mean maternal age at delivery was less for Māori mothers but this was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Several studies have shown that M/T is decreased in socioeconomically deprived populations, and for this reason Māori M/T is expected to be lower and not higher than non-Māori M/T. A lower mean maternal age at delivery might have explained the M/T differences noted in this analysis but this was not a statistically significant difference.

Toto sdělení se týká dnes 40leté zdravé ženy, která se narodila živá a zdravá z mimoděložního těhotenství v dutině břišní, s lokalizací placenty na omentu. V době před 40 lety to byla historická kazuistika, neboť v té době lékaři měli jen minimum informací o podobném případu ve světě. I dnes, v době moderní medicíny, nacházíme pouze ojedinělé případy, kdy se narodí dítě zdravé, bez vývojových deformit, vyvinuté mimo dutinu děložní. U této ženy došlo po 2 letech k normální intrauterinní graviditě ukončené císařským řezem a narozením zdravého chlapce.

This report concerns now 40-year-old healthy woman who was born alive and healthy from an ectopic pregnancy in the abdominal cavity, with placental localization on the omentum. This was a historical case report 40 years ago, as at that time doctors had little information about similar case in the world. Even today, in the era of modern medicine, we find only rare cases where a child developed outside the uterine cavity is born healthy and without developmental deformities. The mother subsequently had a normal intrauterine pregnancy 2 years later, ending with a caesarean section and the birth of a healthy boy.

BACKGROUND: The sex ratio at birth (male/total = M/F) is expected to approximate 0.515. Stress is known to reduce livebirth M/F. In the first half of the 20th century, Malta was stressed by two World Wars. OBJECTIVES: This study was carried out in order to analyse changes in reproductive performance and M/F of stillbirths and livebirths in Malta during this period. METHODS: Livebirth and stillbirth data (1910-1951) were obtained from official published Maltese government reports. Stillbirths were defined as any antenatal loss after 28 weeks of gestation. RESULTS: This analysis studied 347,562 live and 11,662 stillbirths. For 1919-1951, M/F at birth was 0.517, stillbirth M/F was 0.664, implying 28/40 M/F = 0.522. Assuming conceptional M/F = 0.5, estimated M/F for fetal wastage before 28 weeks was approximately 0.434. There was a decrease in the overall birth rate starting after 1911 to 1921, more marked for 1941-1943 followed by an overshoot in 1943-48. There was a statistically significant drop in M/F livebirths during the periods 1916-21 and 1934-45. Stillbirths decreased significantly after 1935 (M>F). A stillbirth M/F drop in 1937-45 and rise in 1946-51 were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Birth rate drops in both wars were ascribed to conscription, adverse living conditions and decreased fertility from nutritional restrictions. Both conflicts resulted in short post-war baby booms. The decrease in stillbirths is attributed to increase in antenatal attendances, hospital births and special food rations for pregnant women. The M/F observations suggest that the selective survival of both healthier female and male foetuses is favoured during times of stress.

Úvod: Těhotenství u pacientek s preexistující kardiomyopatií se systolickou dysfunkcí levé komory srdeční nebo po ortotopické transplantaci srdce (OTS) je rizikové pro matku i dítě. Proto je ve většině případů nedoporučujeme. Avšak ve vybraných případech lze těhotenství nechat proběhnout s vědomím zvýšeného rizika. Cílem této práce je analyzovat soubor pacientek se srdečním selháním nebo po transplantaci srdce, které úspěšně absolvovaly těhotenství a porod živého plodu během sledování na našem pracovišti. Metody: Pacientky jsme retrospektivně identifikovali v klinickém informačním systému IKEM a zpracovali jsme jejich klinická data a výsledky pomocných vyšetření. Výsledky: Celkem jsme zaznamenali devět těhotenství u osmi žen s preexistující kardiomyopatií. Ve většině případů šlo o dilatační kardiomyopatii (šest pacientek, 75 %). Ejekční frakce levé komory (EF LKS) byla v mezích normy nebo lehce snížená v 56 % případů (pět těhotenství), středně snížená ve dvou případech (22 %) a v pásmu těžké dysfunkce ve dvou dalších případech (22 %), kde jsme těhotenství nedoporučovali. Nebylo doporučeno ani těhotenství u ženy s hypertrofickou kardiomyopatií a silně pozitivní rodinnou anamnézou zahrnující úmrtí bratra na srdeční selhání a OTS u matky. Později byla v rodině zjištěna Danonova nemoc. Během těhotenství s preexistující kardiomyopatií a v následujícím roce po porodu jsme zaznamenali dvě dekompenzace srdečního selhání, jednu dekompenzaci arteriální hypertenze a dvě tranzitorní ischemické ataky. Kardiovaskulární příhoda komplikovala pět těhotenství (55 %). Ve čtyřech případech (44 %) byl pozorován pokles EF LKS ≥ 10 % po roce sledování. V pozdějším období byla u ženy s Danonovou nemocí nutná srdeční transplantace, nedošlo k žádnému úmrtí. Dále jsme zaznamenali čtyři porody po OTS, které měly kromě jedné epizody preeklampsie nekomplikovaný průběh s narozením čtyř hypotrofických, ale jinak zdravých dětí. Medián od OTS do porodu byl 68 měsíců. Další sledování bylo bez významnějších komplikací, ženy jsou naživu se sledováním 49-118 měsíců po porodu. Závěry: Díky moderní léčbě srdečního selhání je možné nechat proběhnout těhotenství i u žen s neischemickými kardiomyopatiemi a dysfunkcí levé komory srdeční. Těhotenství je možné také u vybraných žen po OTS, nicméně vzhledem k složité biologické situaci a prognostickým aspektům jej u těchto pacientek nedoporučujeme.

Introduction: Pregnancy in females with pre-existing cardiomyopathy with left-ventricular systolic dysfunction and/or after heart transplantation is associated with risks for both the mother and the child. Thus, it is not recommended in the majority of patients. However, in selected cases, with awareness of the risks, pregnancy may be considered. We aimed to analyse a group of patients with heart failure and/or after heart transplantation (HTx) who were pregnant and gave birth to a living new-born during follow-up in our institution. Methods: Patients were found in the clinical database of IKEM retrospectively. Clinical and para-clinical data were analysed. Results: Nine pregnancies in eight females with pre-existing cardiomyopathy were identifi ed. Most patients had dilated cardiomyopathy (75%), their left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was normal or mildly reduced in 56%, moderately reduced in 22%, and severely reduced in 22%. Pregnancy was not recommended in females with severe left-ventricular systolic dysfunction and also in a female with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a strong family history with death due to heart failure in her brother and necessity of HTx in her mother, which was subsequently diagnosed with Danon disease. During pregnancies with pre-existing cardiomyopathy and twelve months postpartum we recorded two episodes of decompensated heart failure, one episode of decompensated arterial hypertension and two transient ischemic attacks. Taken together, cardiovascular events complicated 55% of these pregnancies. We observed a decrease in LVEF ≥10% in 44% of pregnancies after one year. Subsequently, the female with Danon disease required HTx. There was no maternal death. In addition, we recorded four deliveries after HTx, which were except of one episode of preeclampsia uncomplicated and gave birth to four hypotrophic, but healthy babies. Median time from HTx to delivery was 68 months, subsequent period was uneventful, all four females are alive with a follow-up of 49–118 months after delivery. Conclusions: Contemporary therapeutic modalities of heart failure lead in most patients with dilated cardiomyopathy to at least temporary improvement of left-ventricular systolic function outside the range of severe systolic dysfunction, which enables in selected cases birth of living fetus. Pregnancy is possible also in highly selected females after HTx. However, due to their complicated biological situation and prognostic aspects, we do not recommend pregnancy in this setting.

BACKGROUND: Congenital hydrocephalus (CH) comprises a heterogeneous group of birth anomalies with a wide-ranging prevalence across geographic regions and registry type. The aim of the present study was to analyze the early neonatal case fatality rate (CFR) and total birth prevalence of newborns diagnosed with CH. METHODS: Data were provided by 25 registries from four continents participating in the International Clearinghouse for Birth Defects Surveillance and Research (ICBDSR) on births ascertained between 2000 and 2014. Two CH rates were calculated using a Poisson distribution: early neonatal CFR (death within 7 days) per 100 liveborn CH cases (CFR) and total birth prevalence rate (BPR) per 10,000 births (including live births and stillbirths) (BPR). Heterogeneity between registries was calculated using a meta-analysis approach with random effects. Temporal trends in CFR and BPR within registries were evaluated through Poisson regression modeling. RESULTS: A total of 13,112 CH cases among 19,293,280 total births were analyzed. The early neonatal CFR was 5.9 per 100 liveborn cases, 95% confidence interval (CI): 5.4-6.8. The CFR among syndromic cases was 2.7 times (95% CI: 2.2-3.3) higher than among non-syndromic cases (10.4% [95% CI: 9.3-11.7] and 4.4% [95% CI: 3.7-5.2], respectively). The total BPR was 6.8 per 10,000 births (95% CI: 6.7-6.9). Stratified by elective termination of pregnancy for fetal anomalies (ETOPFA), region and system, higher CFR were observed alongside higher BPR rates. The early neonatal CFR and total BPR did not show temporal variation, with the exception of a CFR decrease in one registry. CONCLUSIONS: Findings of early neonatal CFR and total BPR were highly heterogeneous among registries participating in ICBDSR. Most registries with higher CFR also had higher BPR. Differences were attributable to type of registry (hospital-based vs. population-based), ETOPFA (allowed yes or no) and geographical regions. These findings contribute to the understanding of regional differences of CH occurrence and early neonatal deaths.

PURPOSE: This study determined the prevalence, mortality, and time trends of children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS: Twenty-five hospital- and population-based surveillance programs in 19 International Clearinghouse for Birth Defects Surveillance and Research member countries provided birth defects mortality data between 1974 and 2015. CDH cases included live births, stillbirths, or elective termination of pregnancy for fetal anomalies. Prevalence, cumulative mortality rates, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Poisson regression and a Kaplan-Meier product-limit method. Joinpoint regression analyses were conducted to assess time trends. RESULTS: The prevalence of CDH was 2.6 per 10,000 total births (95% CI: 2.5-2.7), slightly increasing between 2001 and 2012 (average annual percent change = 0.5%; 95% CI:-0.6 to 1.6). The total percent mortality of CDH was 37.7%, with hospital-based registries having more deaths among live births than population-based registries (45.1% vs. 33.8%). Mortality rates decreased over time (average annual percent change = -2.4%; 95% CI: -3.8 to 1.1). Most deaths due to CDH occurred among 2- to 6-day-old infants for both registry types (36.3%, hospital-based; 12.1%, population-based). CONCLUSIONS: The mortality of CDH has decreased over time. Mortality remains high during the first week and varied by registry type.

STUDY QUESTION: What are the characteristics of patients with conceptions transplanted in childhood and adolescence? SUMMARY ANSWER: Insemination and conception after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) in childhood or adolescence was possible, even after myeloablative conditioning regimes, although some patients required reproductive medicine support. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Preparative regimens of HCT are highly gonadotoxic, which leads to gonadal failure and pubertal development disorders. There are few population-based studies assessing the risk of future infertility in children after HCT. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: We conducted a retrospective study to investigate natural or assisted conceptions and their outcomes in patients <18 years old before their first transplantation who received HCT between 1995 and 2016 and were in the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) registry. Adoptions were excluded from the analysis. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: Detailed information concerning pregnancy occurrences and outcomes were obtained by a separate questionnaire. Quantitative variables were presented as medians with their interquartile range (IQR) or range, and categorical variables were presented as frequencies and percentages. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: In total, 62 988 pediatric patients received a first HCT in EBMT centers between 1995 and 2016. Pregnancy was reported in 406 patients in the database. The median age at transplantation was 15.7 (range: 0.7-18) years, and the median age at declared conception was 25.0 (range: 16.3-38.8) years. Details concerning the first pregnancy and pregnancy outcome were obtained from 99 patients (24%) from the returned questionnaires. The median age at delivery or pregnancy interruption of the females was 23.0 (IQR: 20.8-27) years, with a median time after transplant of 10.7 (IQR: 6.6-15.4) years. Compared with the mean age of healthy women at their first child's birth (29 years old), the transplanted women delivered 5 years earlier (mean: 24.3 years). In terms of conception modality, 13/25 (52%) females conditioned with total body irradiation (TBI) and 50/52 (96%) of those conditioned without TBI conceived naturally. All seven male patients who had been conditioned with TBI achieved fatherhood but required assisted fertilization or used their cryopreserved sperm. In the females, 63/70 (90%) of all conceptions resulted in a live birth, 49/63 (84.5%) were at term and 43/46 (93%) had normal birthweight. Cesarean delivery was performed in 9/61 (15%) especially in women who had received a myeloablative regimen. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: In the EBMT pediatric dataset, the age at last follow-up or death was <17 years for 75% of the patients, therefore a longer follow-up for all patients would be necessary to calculate the cumulative incidence of conception for patients transplanted during childhood and allow all patients to realize their reproductive willingness/potential. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: Reproductive health surveillance and fertility preservation counseling are important in younger transplanted patients. Our results showed that there is a window of opportunity to conceive naturally or with reproductive medicine support. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S): Funding was provided by the 'Stiftung für krebskranke Kinder Regio Basiliensis', Basel, Switzerland. All authors have no conflicts of interest to declare. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: N/A.

The goal of an IVF cycle is the birth of at least one baby per intention to treat. However, IVF cannot confer competence on an embryo, but only can provide each couple with a safe treatment to meet a predetermined chance of success. This commentary highlights how clinical, financial and patient-centred perspectives should be included in the definition of success in IVF. The primary outcome, which is the cumulative live birth delivery rate per intention to treat, must always be complemented by analyses of risks, costs and time invested, as well as by measures of patient satisfaction. Finally, it is essential, whenever clinical conditions exist, to limit treatment discontinuation after failed attempts. Constant monitoring of the data is pivotal and must be adjusted for patient characteristics and compared with national and international registers. The authors aimed to review all these aspects and highlight the points that are still open for discussion. Is it time for a consensus?

Cieľ štúdie: Analýza perinatálnej mortality v Slovenskej republike v rokoch 2007–2018. Metodika: Analýza prospektívneho zberu vybraných ukazovateľov pôrodníckej starostlivosti v rokoch 2007–2018. Výsledky: V roku 2007 bolo v Slovenskej republike 63 pôrodníc, 51 146 pôrodov a narodilo sa 51 650 živých novorodencov. Do roku 2018 klesol počet pôrodníc na 51, počet pôrodov sa zvýšil na 57 085 a počet živonarodených novorodencov na 57 773. Úhrnná plodnosť v roku 2007–2018 stúpla z 1,27 na 1,54. Frekvencia predčasných pôrodov v roku 2007 bola 7,3 %, v roku 2010 sa zvýšila na 8,5 % a do roku 2018 klesla na 7 %. Perinatálna mortalita v roku 2007 bola 6,2 ‰, v roku 2017 klesla na 4,4 ‰, ale v roku 2018 stúpla na 5 ‰ a podľa kritérií WHO (World Health Organization) na 6,6 ‰. Na perinatálnej mortalite v rokoch 2007–2018 sa podieľala mŕtvorodenosť 65 %, nízka pôrodná hmotnosť 63 % a závažné vrodené vývojové chyby 19 %. V rokoch 2007–2018 klesol transport in utero novorodencov s hmotnosťou 1 000–1 499 g do perinatologických centier z 57 % na 56 % a novorodencov s hmotnosťou do 1 000 g zo 75 % na 73 %. Záver: Slovenská republika dosiahla historicky najlepší výsledok perinatálnej mortality v roku 2017 – 4,4 ‰, ale v ďalšom roku sa zvýšila nad 5 ‰. Na ďalší pokles perinatálnej mortality v SR treba zlepšiť prenatálnu dia­gnostiku závažných vrodených vývojových chýb, transport plodov s veľmi nízkou pôrodnou hmotnosťou in utero, centralizáciu vysokorizikových gravidít, personálne a materiálno-technické vybavenie pôrodníc a novorodeneckých jednotiek intenzívnej starostlivosti.

Objective: Analysis of perinatal mortality in the Slovak Republic during the years 2007–2018. Methods: Analysis of prospectively collected selected perinatal data in the years 2007–2018. Results: In the year 2007, there were 63 obstetrics units, 51,146 deliveries and that of live births 51,650 in the Slovak Republic. The number of obstetrics units decreased to 51 in the years 2018, the total number of deliveries increased to 57,085 and that of live births increased to 57,773. The total fertility rate in the years 2007–2018 increased from 1.27 to 1.54. The preterm deliveries rate increased from 7.3% in the year 2007 to 8.5% in the year 2010 and decreased to 7% in the year 2018. The perinatal mortality rate decreased from 6.2 in the year 2007 to 4.4 in the year 2017, increased again in the years 2018 to 5.0 and according to the criteria of WHO (World Health Organization) to 6.6 per 1,000 still- and live-births. During the years 2007–2018 at perinatal mortality stillbirth participate with 65%, low birth weight with 63% and severe congenital anomalies with 19%. Transport in utero to perinatological centers in the years 2007–2018 has decreased from 57 to 56% for infants 1,000–1,499 g and from 75 to 73% for infants below 1,000 g. Conclusion: In the year 2017, perinatology in the Slovak Republic reached the best result in the perinatal mortality rate – 4.4‰ (0.44%), but has increased to over 5‰ next year. To further reduce perinatal mortality in the Slovak Republic, it is necessary to improve the prenatal dia­gnosis of severe congenital abnormalities, transport in utero of very low birth weight fetuses, centralization of high-risk pregnancies, obstetric personnel and material-technical equipment of obstetricians and neonatal intensive care units.
