Objectives: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate congenital malformations in infants conceived by assisted reproductive techniques (ART), compared with infants conceived spontaneously. Methods: In this study, available resources searched to find relevant articles included PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Google Scholar, Cochrane, ProQuest, Iranmedex, Magiran, and Scientific Information Database. After extracting the necessary information from evaluated articles, meta-analysis on the articles' data was performed using Stata version 11.2. Results: In this study, from a total of 339 articles, extracted from the initial investigation, ultimately 30 articles were selected for meta-analysis that assessed the use of ART on the risk of congenital abnormalities and some birth complications on 5 470 181 infants (315 402 cases and 5 154 779 controls). The odds ratio (95% confidence interval [CI]) for low birth weight was 1.89 (95% CI, 1.36 to 2.62), preterm labor 1.79 (95% CI, 1.21 to 2.63), cardiac abnormalities 1.43 (95% CI, 1.27 to 1.62), central nervous system abnormalities 1.36 (95% CI, 1.10 to 1.70), urogenital system abnormalities 1.58 (95% CI, 1.28 to 1.94), musculoskeletal disorders 1.35 (95% CI, 1.12 to 1.64), and chromosomal abnormalities in infants conceived by ART was 1.14 (95% CI, 0.90 to 1.44), which were all statistically significant, except chromosomal abnormalities. Conclusions: The risk of congenital abnormalities and some birth complications were significantly higher in ART than normal conception, while chromosomal abnormalities were not; therefore, the application of ART should be selected individually for patients by detailed assessment to reduce such risks in the population.

A maternity ward in a hospital in Seoul has an educational program for postpartal mothers since its opening, but evaluation on the program has not been done. This study was to find whether the educational program contributed to increase of knowledge and confidence of the post-partal mothers in the area of postpartal self-care and the newborn baby care or not. This study aimed at improvement of the educational program for posrpartal mothers and the newborn babies. Subjects were 40 primiparae who were admitted to the obstetric ward in a general hospitals in Seoul from August 20th to September 10th, 1995. Subjects were those who had no labor pain at the admission time, had no complications during labor and delivery, gave a birth to a healthy baby, and agreed to participate in this study. All subjects were well educated and were in well-to-do group. Most of them received antenatal care adequately. They were tested on knowledge and self-confidence in the area of postpartal self-care and infant care two times, one at the admission time and the other prior to discharge. After the first test, nurses in a maternity ward and nursery taught them on postpartal self-care and infant care. Education consisted of a 1 hour planned program and incident teachings done at bed side. Four tools were developed by authors based literature review. The test tool for knowledge of postpartal self-care consisted of 15 items which included the definition of postpartum, dangerous symptoms in postpartum, lochia, time to begin coitus, postpartum exercise, sitz-bath, and perineal care. The test tool for self-confidence in postpartal self-care included such items as emergency care on dangerous symptoms in postpartum, sexual life and contraception after postpartum, self-confidence in postpartum exercise and perineal care. The test tool for knowledge of newborn baby care consisted of 18 items which included bathing, umbilical cord care, vaccination, breast feeding, abnormal symptoms of neonate. The test tool for self confidence in the newborn baby care included umbilical cord care, vaccination, breast feeding, emergency care for baby. Analysis of demographic data were analyzed with calculation of percentage. Score differences between the first test and the second test were analyzed with paired t-test. SAS / PC (Release 6.04 for DOS) program are as follows. 1. Mothers' knowledge of postpartal self-care increased significantly after education (t=10.04, df=38, p=0.0001). 2. Mothers' self-confidence in postpartal self-care increased significantly after education (t=6.53, df=38, p=0.0001). 3. Mother's knowledge of the newborn abay care increased significantly after education (t=9.74, df=38, p=0.0001). 4. Mothers' self-confidence in the newborn baby care increased significantly after education(t=8.22, df=38, p=0.0001) Suggestions for further studies and nursing practice were as follows. 1. We suggest studies by randomized control-group pretest-posttest design or nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design will be done. 2. We suggest follow-up studies to find if mothers's confidence will last or not after discharge. 3. We suggest general hospitals to establish a phone-counseling system.

목 적: 임신 제1삼분기와 2삼분기에 시행하고 있는 다운증후군 선별검사 지표들이 다른 임신합병증 예측에 있어서 갖는 의의를 알아보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2005년 1월부터 2006년 12월까지 만2년간 강남차병원 산부인과에서 산전진찰을 받으며 임신 제1삼분기에 PAPP-A와 NT, 2삼분기에AFP, hCG, Inhibin-A, 그리고 uE3로 다운증후군 선별검사를 시행 받고 분만한 3,121명의 산모와 이들의 신생아를 대상으로 하였다. 의무기록지 검토를 통해 산모의 나이, 임신합병증과 제태연령, 분만시와 분만후의 합병증 유무, 그리고 integrated test 시기와 각 지표의 수치를 조사하여 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하여 정규성 검정과 t-test, 그리고 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결 과: 다운증후군 선별검사의 표지물질들이 다른 임신 합병증에서도 이상소견을 보였는데, 특히 조산과 자간전증 시에 AFP 수치의 증가, hCG증가, Inhibin-A증가, PAPP-A감소, NT 감소가 있었다. Inhibin-A는 자간전증, 저체중아 출산, 조산시에 임신 제2삼분기에 증가되어 있었는데 odds ratio는 각각 2.843, 1.446, 1.287이었다. AFP는 임신 24주 이전의 태아손실(odds ratio 2.868)과 조산(odds ratio 1.653)시 에 임신 제2삼분기에 증가하였고, 임신 제1삼분기의 PAPP-A는 자간전증(odds ratio 0.51)과 조산(odds ratio 0.75)시에 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 결 론: 모든 산전 클리닉에서 시행하고 있는 다운증후군 선별검사의 지표 중 특히 임신 제2삼분기의 Inhibin-A와 AFP, 제1삼분기의 PAPP-A의 이상 수치는 태반기능 관련 임신합병증인 조산, 자간전증과 저체중아 출산의 동반 가능성이 높아 이를 이용하면 이들 질환의 고위험군을 분류할 수 있으며, 이런 산모를 대상으로 보다 주의깊은 산전관리와 상담이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 한국보건사회연구원과 국민건강보험공단의 한국의료패널 2008-2016년 연간 데이터(Version 1.5)를 이용해 임신, 출산, 산후기 여성의 구급 이송 서비스 이용 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 요약하면, 첫째, 임신, 출산 및 산후기 여성의 119 구급차, 민간 구급차 등 구급 이송 서비스 이용률은 12.0%로 전체 구급 이송 서비스 이용률 18.9%보다 상대적으로 낮았다. 둘째, 임신, 출산 및 산후기 여성의 응급에서 분만이 38.7%로 가장 큰 비중을 차지하였으며, 진통 및 분만의 합병증이 20.0%, 유산된 임신이 17.3% 등의 순으로 나타났다. 셋째, 임신, 출산 및 산후기 여성의 구급 이송 서비스 이용 특성 중 연 평균 가구소득, 응급실 도착 소요시간, 응급실 도착 지연 인식 등에서 구급 이송 서비스의 이용자 집단과 비이용자 집단 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 따라서 저출산과 고령 산모로 인하여 분만 취약지가 늘어날수록 임신, 출산, 산후기 여성을 위한 사회안전망으로서 구급 이송 서비스의 양적 확대와 질적 제고는 더욱 시급한 과제가 될 것이다.
