Abstract:
Abstract Background Medical students' choice of residency specialty is based in part on their clerkship experience. Postclerkship interest in a particular specialty is associated with the students' choice to pursue a career in that field. But, many medical students have a poor perception of their obstetrics and gynecology clerkships. Objective To determine whether fourth-year medical students' perceptions of teaching quality and quantity and amount of experiential learning during the obstetrics-gynecology clerkship helped determine their interest in obstetrics-gynecology as a career choice. Methods We distributed an anonymous, self-administered survey to all third-year medical students rotating through their required obstetrics and gynecology clerkship from November 2006 to May 2007. We performed bivariate analysis and used χ2 analysis to explore factors associated with general interest in obstetrics and gynecology and interest in pursuing obstetrics and gynecology as a career. Results Eighty-one students (N = 91, 89% response rate) participated. Postclerkship career interest in obstetrics and gynecology was associated with perceptions that the residents behaved professionally (P < .0001) and that the students were treated as part of a team (P = .008). Having clear expectations on labor and delivery procedures (P = .014) was associated with postclerkship career interest. Specific hands-on experiences were not statistically associated with postclerkship career interest. However, performing more speculum examinations in the operating room trended toward having some influence (P = .068). Although more women than men were interested in obstetrics and gynecology as a career both before (P = .027) and after (P = .014) the clerkship, men were more likely to increase their level of career interest during the clerkship (P = .024). Conclusions Clerkship factors associated with greater postclerkship interest include higher satisfaction with resident professional behavior and students' sense of inclusion in the clinical team. Obstetrics and gynecology programs need to emphasize to residents their role as educators and professional role models for medical students.

Abstract:
Awareness of the subspecialty of infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology is low among United States residents and residency directors.Objective. Given the burden of infectious diseases on women's health, we sought to assess current awareness, interest, and perceived value of the subspecialty of infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology among current United States obstetrics and gynecology residents and residency directors.Methods. Two separate surveys addressing awareness, perceived value and interest in the subspecialty were sent to (1) a random20%sample of obstetrics and gynecology residents and (2) all obstetrics and gynecology residency directors.Results. Seventy percent of the residency directors were familiar with the subspecialty and67.0%placed value on infectious disease specialists in an academic department. Thirty percent of the residents reported awareness of the subspecialty. Thirty-six percent of residency directors reported that medical infectious disease specialists deliver formal education to the obstetrics and gynecology residents.Conclusion. United States obstetrics and gynecology residents and residency directors have a low awareness of the subspecialty. An open niche exists for formal education of residents in infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology by department specialists. These findings can be incorporated into ongoing recruitment efforts for the subspecialty of infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis included a systematic literature review, yielding studies on three employment categories: hairdressers, cosmetologists and laboratory workers. The original research examined pregnancy outcomes for Finnish singleton births between 1990 and 2010. The parameters were increased male gender, low birth-weight, high birth-weight, pre-term delivery, post-term delivery, small for gestational age, large for gestational age, stillbirth and early neonatal death. Finnish Birth Registry data included 507,659 prima gravida women who delivered singletons with at least 22 weeks’ gestation 1990- 2010. There were 12,854 hairdressers, 1841 cosmetologists and 3587 laboratory workers. Control populations: 40,405 teachers, 1968 musicians and 447,004 women-general population. When hairdressers were compared to the general public, there were three marginally statistically significant results for new-borns: SGA, (OR 1.01, 95% CI 1.00 - 1.02), LGA, (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00 - 1.03) and post-term delivery (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02 -1.11). Marginal increased statistically significant results for pooled effect size (ES) from the meta-analysis were found for LBW among hairdressers ES 1.083 (95% CI, 1.017-1.153) and SGA infants among hairdressers ES 1.077 (95% CI, 1.006-1.153). Hairdressers may be at a marginally increased risk of low birth weight and small size for gestational age. This may be due to occupational exposure.

Abstract:
Purpose This dissertation focuses at assessing the efficacy of shorter time intervals in the treatment of medical abortions along with the use of various follow up methods. Methods This initial part of dissertation was carried out as an extensive study of literature, followed by observational study on shorter time intervals and follow up methods for the feasibility of the study. The main dissertation met its research aims through an RCT of 121 women comparing shorter to standard time intervals and assessing the various follow up methods at the end of 2 weeks. The qualitative component of the study was achieved by conducting in-depth interviews of women undergoing medical abortion on various aspects of medical abortions with emphasis on shorter time intervals and follow up. Findings This research produced a number of key findings: the RCT showed that both treatments have equal efficacy and acceptability with minor differences in their side effects however the sample size was small to generalise the findings; the follow up methods showed varied responses with preference to confirmatory investigations at 2 weeks follow up. Conclusions The main conclusions drawn from this research were that shorter time intervals can be offered as an alternative to standard treatment intervals in well informed women, however a larger RCT is needed. In order to provide these treatments as outpatient robust follow up methods will need to be incorporated into the abortion services.

Abstract:
Background: Medical student involvement in clinical care of obstetrical emergencies is limited. Wearable technology, namely Google Glass, has been used to enhance the simulation experience for trainees at our institution. We present a pilot study that examines the utility of this technology in medical students’ education through remotely-conducted exercises in obstetric emergencies. Materials & Methods: A total of thirteen medical students accepted the opportunity to participate in an obstetric emergencies training exercise with remote monitoring. Students wore the Google Glass device while participating in two simulated obstetrical emergencies: shoulder dystocia and vaginal breech delivery. A remote instructor monitored the students’ performance and gave verbal instructions during the simulation. Students then filled out a questionnaire grading the effectiveness of the exercise. Results: Of all participating students, 55% reported Glass extremely valuable for their education. None reported it as not being valuable. 15% reported that Glass distracted them in their simulation activity. 100% of participants reported it being more than “successful" in its potential to improve emergency obstetric care. 55% reported that Glass or a similar device is “extremely likely” to be incorporated into medicine. None reported that it is unlikely to be used in the future of medicine. Conclusions: Wearable technology has the potential to provide improved learner experience. This technology can be successfully used to provide student exposure to simulated emergencies. Further studies evaluating the participation of students and other learners in simulated obstetrical emergencies are needed to determine how effective wearable technology can become in medical education and ultimately patient care as well.

Full text
Abstract:
Case Report: Krukenberg tumor is a metastatic adenocarcinoma of the ovary that classically arises from the gastrointestinal tract, most often as a metastasis from the stomach as the primary origin, followed by colon. Krukenberg tumors are very rare malignant tumors of the ovary, only accounting for 1-2% of all ovarian malignancies. They tend to present with bilateral involvement. The most common presenting symptoms are abdominal pain, distention, and ascites, secondary to the large ovarian masses. Postmenopausal vaginal bleeding is a rare presenting symptom of a Krukenberg tumor. The diagnosis is commonly delayed until late in the disease progression. We present a case of a 77-year-old woman with stage IV metastatic adenocarcinoma of lower GI with mesenteric involvement and pulmonary nodules. Her disease was confirmed by mesenteric mass biopsy and was histologically CK20 positive, CDX positive, and CK7 negative. She underwent eighteen rounds of palliative chemotherapy with oral capecitabine (Xeloda) over the course of fifteen months. Sixteen months after the initial diagnosis, imaging uncovered a new cystic pelvic mass measuring 15x13x12 cm, decreased mesenteric mass, increasing liver lesion, metastasis to the left adrenal gland, and minimal ascites. She has had vaginal bleeding. Patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and small bowel resection by gynecological oncologist. The left ovary was involved by metastatic adenocarcinoma, 15 cm, consistent with small bowel origin. The small bowel resection showed adenocarcinoma, 3.3 cm in size with serosal invasion arising in an adenoma. Patient is planned for chemotherapy with irinotecan in palliation. Our case demonstrates a rare case of small bowel adenocarcinoma later presenting as a Krukenburg tumor.

A distribuição eficiente de profissionais médicos é um dos principais problemas enfrentados pelos gestores de políticas públicas. Há vários mecanismos utilizados pelos países para prover profissionais de saúde, que vão desde incentivos salariais até formação continuada. O estado de Pernambuco vem incentivando os programas de residência médica, com aumento das vagas e programas, e também ampliando o número de graduandos de medicina, inclusive de maneira interiorizada, como estratégias para a fixação e provimento do profissional médico. O objetivo desse trabalho foi estimar a necessidade de médicos especialistas em Ginecologia e Obstetrícia para o Sistema Único de Saúde de Pernambuco – SUS/PE e para responder o objetivo da pesquisa foram analisados dados secundários oriundos dos sistemas de informações do SUS (DATASUS) e entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores de saúde e médicos residentes da especialidade de ginecologia e obstetrícia. Dessa maneira, o estudo observou uma maior procura dos médicos pela especialidade de ginecologia e obstetrícia, ao longo dos anos, contudo ainda existe uma grande concentração de especialistas em algumas áreas do estado, em especial a região metropolitana do Recife. Esse fator demonstrou ser um dos elementos responsáveis pelo alto número de partos encaminhados para realização em outros municípios e um baixo acesso das mulheres ao exame de colposcopia.
Efficient distribution of medical professionals is one of the main problems faced by policymakers. There are several mechanisms used by countries to provide health professionals, ranging from wage incentives to continuing education. The state of Pernambuco is encouraging medical residency programs, an increase of vacancies and programs, and also increasing the number of undergraduate students of medicine, including internalized way, as strategies for the establishment and provision of medical professionals. The aim of this study was to estimate the need for specialists in Obstetrics and Gynaecology for Health System of Pernambuco - SUS / PE and to respond to the objective of the research were analyzed secondary data from the SUS information systems (DATASUS) and interviews semistructured with health managers and resident doctors of obstetrics and gynecology specialty. Thus, the study found a greater demand for doctors in the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology, over the years, yet still there is a large concentration of specialists in some areas of the state, particularly the metropolitan region of Recife. This factor proved to be one of the factors responsible for the high number of deliveries referred to perform in other cities and low access of women to colposcopy examination.

Abstract:
This thesis analyzes medical manuals published in England between 1500 and 1770 to trace developing medical understandings and prescriptive approaches to conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. While there have been plenty of books written regarding social and religious changes in the reproductive process during the early modern era, there is a dearth of scholarly work focusing on the medical changes which took place in obstetrics over this period. Early modern England was a time of great change in the field of obstetrics as physicians incorporated newly-discovered knowledge about the male and female body, new fields and tools, and new or revived methods into published obstetrical manuals. As men became more prominent in the birthing chamber, instructions in the manuals began to address these men as well. Overall these changes were brought about by changes in the medical field along with changes in culture and religion and the emergence of print culture and rising literacy rates.

Full text
Abstract:
Chlamydia is the most reported sexually transmitted infection in the US and is caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. Typically, this presents as a lower genital tract infection (cervicitis or urethritis), but can ascend to the upper genital tract, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, tubal infertility, epididymitis, or ectopic pregnancy. While chlamydia infections can be cured with a single-dose oral antibiotic, repeat infections are common and having multiple chlamydial infections increases a woman’s risk of developing serious chronic conditions. Previous research has shown that estrogen has a positive effect on C. trachomatis infections—an important finding, connecting fluctuating estrogen levels in females to variance in pathogenesis.The mechanism behind this hormonal influence remains unknown; however, previous work in our laboratory indicates that estrogen-stimulated stromal cell effectors play a role in enhancing C. trachomatis infections in a polarized endometrial epithelial Ishikawa (IK)/stromal (SHT-290) cell co-culture model. Specifically, our data indicate that estrogen exposure stimulates osteopontin and vimentin release from stromal cells in co-culture with endometrial epithelial cells. Furthermore, we noted that Chlamydia-infected, polarized Ishikawa cells exposed to a combination of recombinant osteopontin and estrogen released significantly more infectious chlamydia than cultures exposed to estrogen alone. Most tissue culture models being used today employee non-polarized cells. Given the fact that epithelial cell polarization is known to impact C. trachomatis serovar E development, in the current study we sought to determine if the estrogen-induced stromal cell effectors, osteopontin and vimentin, affect C. trachomatis viability and infectivity in non-polarized Ishikawa cells. Non-polarized Ishikawa cells were exposed to osteopontin or vimentin in the presence or absence of estrogen, infected with C. trachomatis serovar E, and collected for examination of chlamydial infectivity and progeny production. Our initial data show that osteopontin and vimentin impact chlamydial progeny production in a concentration dependent fashion, with higher concentrations of recombinant effectors +/- estrogen significantly decreasing progeny production. These data suggest that polarization of host cells influences the way hormone-stimulated effectors interact with the cell to impact on chlamydial infection. Future research goals are to explore other stromal effectors such as fibronectin with estrogen and to study the cell signaling mechanism osteopontin and vimentin use to affect chlamydial infections in polarized epithelial cell cultures.

Abstract:
Preterm birth (PTB) is defined as birth before 37 weeks gestational age. PTB is a common outcome and one that may be increasing in prevalence with serious individual and public health implications both immediately and long term. While PTB is a pregnancy specific outcome it is more appropriately viewed as the culmination of risk factors present both before pregnancy and possibly in past generations. This thesis attempts to review the implications, risk factors and current prevention strategies directed at PTB while placing it in an intergenerational and life cycle context. Three novel investigations are presented and their consequences are discussed. These investigations cover the lifespan and relate to identifying PTB and treating its immediate health outcomes. The first examines mitochondrial genetics and it's relation to PTB. There is a strong a priori hypothesis that mitochondrial genetics, being maternally inherited, may contribute to an individual's risk for PTB. However, in two genome wide association studies, no evidence is found for any mitochondrial polymorphisms being related to PTB. The second investigation reports an attempt to identify women at risk for PTB within a given pregnancy. Using routinely collected maternal information and serum screening data a potentially useful screening method is derived. While the algorithm does not have ideal performance characteristics it compares favorably to other population wide screening techniques and could be improved through future validation and data collection. The third and final investigation attempts to address quality of care for infants born preterm. In a network of neonatal intensive care units, wide variations in mortality outcomes are observed. Intensity of medical intervention appears to be an important predictor of mortality for the lowest gestational age infants. However, this intensity of intervention does not fully explain the observed differences in mortality outcomes. Finally, these study are discussed in context with one another and a new framework for considering PTB is presented that may help to guide future investigation into predicting, preventing and caring for those at risk for or experiencing a PTB.

Full text
Abstract:
Bakgrund: Avbrytande av graviditet innebär att fostret utförskaffas ur livmodern innan graviditetsvecka 22, spontant eller genom induktion. En inducerad abort kan ske medicinskt eller kirurgiskt. Cirka 56 miljoner aborter sker årligen i ett globalt perspektiv. Barnmorskan ska stödja kvinnan i abortvården samt verka för att ge jämställd och rättvis vård baserad på vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet utifrån ett socialt-, ekonomiskt- och kulturellt perspektiv. Barnmorskan utvecklas i sin yrkesroll genom kunskap och erfarenhet. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa kvinnors erfarenheter av medicinsk- eller kirurgisk abort i ett globalt perspektiv. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en metasyntes med kvalitativ ansats. Femton (15) vetenskapliga artiklar utgör resultatet. Resultat: Fyra huvudkategorier identifierades otillgänglighet och konsekvenser för kvinnan, ekonomiska faktorer, stigma samt autonomi. Resultatet visar att kvinnorna upplever att restriktiv lagstiftning skapar en stor oro och kan ge desperation. Detta kan innebära att många kvinnor söker sig till osäkra alternativ om tillgången på säker abortvård inte finns tillgänglig. Aborten hade negativa ekonomiska konsekvenser för kvinnorna. Att få bestämma över sin egen kropp och känslan av kontroll var en viktig del i abortbeslutet för kvinnan. Slutsats: Brist på ekonomiska tillgångar och stigma gör att många kvinnor söker sig till osäkra abortalternativ. Den enskilda kvinnan bör få ta beslut som rör hennes egen kropp och själv besluta om när hon önskar skaffa barn vilket innebär att tillgängligheten på säker abortvård måste öka. Klinisk tillämpbarhet: Studien kan användas för att ge ökad kunskap om kvinnors upplevelser och erfarenheter vilket kan leda till en mer tillgänglig abortvård för kvinnor i ett globalt perspektiv.
Background: Termination of pregnancy is when a fetus is removed from the uterus before pregnancy week 22, spontaneously or through induction. An induced abortion can be performed either medical or surgical. In a global perspective, each year around 56 million abortions are performed. The role of the Midwife in abortion care is to support the woman aiming to offer equal and equitable care based on proven experience and with a social-, economical- and cultural perspective. The professional skills of the midwife is developing through knowledge and experience. Objective: The aim of the study was to identify womens experiences of medical- or surgical abortion in a global perspective. Method: The study was conducted as a qualitative metasynthesis. Fifteen (15) scientific articles were included in the result. Result: Four main categories were identified inaccessibility and consequences for the woman, economical factors, stigma and autonomy. The result shows that the women experience that restrictive legislations makes women anxious and instill feelings of desperation. Many women are considering unsafe alternatives when safe abortion care isn’t accessible. The abortion had negative financial consequences for the women. To decide about their own body and having a feeling of control was an important part in the decision of abortion for the woman. Conclusion: Lack of financial assets and stigma means that many women seek unsafe abortion options. The individual woman should be able to make decisions concerning her own body and decide for herself when she wants to have children, which means that access to safe abortion care must increase. Clinical applicability: The study can be used to provide increased knowledge about womens experiences which can lead to a more accessible abortion care for women in a global perspective.

Abstract:
Ghana is identified among the developing countries with high maternal mortality ratio in Africa. This study unpacked the Demographic and Health Survey data by examining the maternal health indicators at the district level using GIS methods. Understanding the geographic patterns of antenatal care, place of delivery, and skilled birth attendants at the small scale will help to formulate and plan for location-specific health interventions that can improve maternal health care behavior among Ghanaian women. Districts with high rates and low rates were identified. Place of residence, Gini-Coefficient, wealth status, internet access, and religious affiliation were used to explore the underlying factors associated with the observed patterns. Economic inequality was positively associated with increased use of maternal health care services. The ongoing free maternal health policy serves as a cushion effect for the economic inequality among the districts in the Northern areas. Home delivery is common among the rural districts and is more prominent mostly in the western part of Northern Region and southwest of Upper West. Educating women about the free maternal health policy remains the most viable strategy for positive maternal health outcomes and in reducing MMR in Ghana.

Abstract:
An improved tool for operative vaginal delivery can reduce maternal and fetal trauma during the delivery and recovery processes. When a delivery cannot be completed naturally due to maternal exhaustion or fetal distress, physicians must perform an operative vaginal delivery (OVD), with forceps or a vacuum, or a Cesarean section (C-section). Although C-sections are more prevalent in the United States than OVDs, they require longer maternal hospital stays and recovery time and increase risk of maternal infection and fetal breathing problems [1]. In 2015, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology pushed to increase the number of OVDs to limit C-section associated delivery risks [2]. However, the current tools for OVD either have steep learning curves, are unable to be used for all fetal head presentations, or have associated maternal and fetal risks [3][4]. There is a need for an easy to use, safe, and reliable tool for operative vaginal delivery.

Abstract:
Epidurals are a method of long-term pain relief administered by injecting and continuously delivering an anesthetic via catheter in the spine. This method of pain relief is often used for patients in the Obstetrics/Gynecology unit as well as those in pre- and post-operational care. For almost 2 million singleton vaginal deliveries across 27 states in 2008 (representing 65% of all US singleton vaginal births in 2008), 61% of patients received some form of an epidural or spinal injection [1]. Additionally, this number has been increasing. For the 18 states for which 2006 and 2008 data are available, the average of the state-level increases in epidural/spinal injections is approximately 4.2% revealing an overall increase in these injections. Just between 2000 and 2010, the use of epidural injections increased by 160% [2]. Commonly, epidural catheters are inserted into the patient’s back in the appropriate location and then secured to the body with an adhesive medical dressing. Movement and subsequent dislocation of the catheter beneath the adhesive medical dressing can result in inefficient anesthetic delivery, increased patient discomfort, and repeated administration of the epidural. Secondary migration of epidural catheters is a problem responsible for failure in approximately 6.8% of epidurals administered [3]. Requiring an anesthesiologist to repeat the procedure is also an increased cost. A solution to secondary migration of epidural catheters would ensure effective delivery of the anesthetic to the patient, reduce the need for a repeated procedure, and prevent unwanted additional healthcare expenses.

Abstract:
Objective: To study the risk factors, management protocols and outcome of vulvar cancer cases over a period of 10 years in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: It is a retrospective cohort study of vulvar cancer from January 2004 to January 2014 at King George Medical University, Lucknow. Hospital records of 41 patients with histologically proven diagnosis of vulvar cancer were studied from Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Department of Radiotherapy. The presence of risk factors, stage of disease, treatment modalities used and disease outcome in terms survival were studied. The data collected was analyzed and compared with the published literature. Results: The mean age for diagnosis of vulvar cancer was 52 years and peak incidence was seen in age group of 50-70 years. Incidence was significantly more in multiparous (p = 0.001) and postmenopausal women (p = 0.007). An average of 4.1 cases were seen per year. 97.56% cases were squamous cell carcinomas including one case of verrucous carcinoma. Only one non-squamous case of Bowen’s disease was seen. 20 cases belonged to early stage (1 and 2) while 21cases had advanced disease (3 and 4). 48.78% cases were primarily treated with surgery, 26.83% with radiotherapy, 7.3% with chemotherapy and 17.07% with combined chemoradiation. 78% of surgically treated cases had mean survival of 5 years. Mean survival of 1 year was recorded in advanced disease cases. Limitation of the study was poor follow up after treatment. Conclusion: Incidence of vulvar cancer is significantly high in multiparous and postmenopausal women. Surgical treatment is the best option in early stage of disease (stage I and II) and gives high survival rates while advanced disease treated with chemoradiation has poor survival.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Previous studies suggest that tobacco use affects systems of the human body involved in the reproductive process. Tobacco smoke exposure affects uterine receptivity, which may lead the risk of infertility. This study aimed to investigate the associations between cigarette smoke exposure, family history of infertility, and the risk of infertility among women in reproductive age. Subjects and Method: A case control study was conducted at obstetrics and gynecology polyclinic and Sekar fertility clinic, in Dr. Moewardi hospital, Surakarta, Central Java, from October to November 2019. A sample of 200 reproductive age women was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was infertility. The independent variables were age, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, endometriosis, family history of infertility, smoking exposure, and stress. The data were obtained from medical record and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple linear regression. Results: The risk of infertility increased with age ≥35 years (b= 1.24; 95% CI= 0.18 to 2.30; p= 0.012), BMI <18 or ≥25 (b= 2.76; 95% CI= 1.74 to 3.76; p<0.001), high physical activity (b= 1.44; 95% CI= 0.38 to 2.51; p= 0.009), endometriosis (b= 1.06; 95% CI= 0.06 to 2.05; p= 0.038), tobacco smoke exposure (b= 1.37; 95% CI= 0.30 to 2.43; p= 0.012), and severe stress (b= 1.07; 95% CI= 0.16 to 2.00; p= 0.022). Conclusion: The risk of infertility increases with age ≥35 years, BMI <18 or ≥25, high physical activity, endometriosis, smoke exposure, and severe stress.

Abstract:
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are major health problems that lead to significant morbidity and mortality. In the United States, it is estimated that these two problems result in over 300,000 hospitalizations annually and available data indicate that 50,000 to 100,000 patients per year die of pulmonary embolism.The advent of several diagnostic tests has permitted the identification of groups of patients at high risk for development of deep venous thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolism. Identification of these patient groups has led to therapeutic measures designed to prevent both deep venous thrombosis and subsequent embolic episodes. However, the efficacy of these preventive measures have not been widely adopted and reservations have been expressed regarding use of low dose anticoagulant drugs for prevention of DVT and PE, especially in surgical patients. Because of the apparent reluctance to adopt putative preventive measures for DVT and PE, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute convened a Consensus Development Conference on the issue of prevention in 1986. Experts from North America, Europe, and South Africa presented data, both pro and con, on prevention of DVT and PE, using one or more therapeutic regimens. An impartial Panel was then asked to arrive at a consensus statement on the following questions: 1) the level of risk of DVT and PE in different patient groups; 2) the efficacy and safety of prophylactic measures in these groups; 3) the recommended prophylactic regimens for different patient groups, and 4) remaining questions related to prevention of DVT and PE. Recommendations for prevention were based on the assumption that reduction in DVT would also result in reduction of pulmonary embolism. Furthermore, the consensus was based, at least in part, upon data combined from multiple clinical trials. Thus, combined data on 12,000 individuals in randomized clinical trials indicated that in appropriate patient groups, treated with low dose heparin, there was a 68 percent reduction in DVT, as measured by the 125I-fibrinogen uptake test and venography, and that there was a reduction of 49% in pulmonary embolism and a significant decrease in overall mortality resulting from pulmonary embolism.Prophylactic measures for the following different patient groups were assessed: 1) general surgery; 2) orthopedic surgery; 3) urology; 4) gynecology-obstetrics; 4) neurosurgery and neurology; 5) trauma; and 6) medical conditions.Basically, the following prophylactic regimens were considered: 1) low dose heparin; 2) low dose dihydroergotamine heparin; 3) dextran; 4) low dose warfarin; and 5) external pneumatic compression. In general terms, low dose heparin appears to be one of the more effective prophylactic regimens in certain groups of high risk patients. This regimen is not useful in orthopedic or certain neurosurgical procedures where heparin has been shown to be of little value or hazardous. In these cases, dextran, warfarin, or external pnuematic compression may be more beneficial. In some groups of high risk patients, combination of mechanical measures with anticoagulant agents appear to be of value in prevention of DVT and PE.The recommendations of the Consensus Panel for Prevention of DVT and PE for each patient group will be assessed.
