Maternal complications and weight gain during pregnancy
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-01-31) Chochoca Franco, Karen Yesenia; Sanz Ramirez, Ana María
Objective: To determine the scientific evidence regarding the relationship between maternal weight gain and complications during pregnancy. Design: The study was a qualitative narrative review. Study area: The present research was conducted by searching for original articles from virtual databases. Study subjects: The study included 35 original articles from the databases PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar, Revmed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect, covering the period from January 2017 to October 2021. Results: 29% of the reviewed studies were cohort studies, and 17% were analytical studies. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, and fetal macrosomia were highly associated with maternal overweight and obesity. Conclusion: The scientific evidence reviewed in this study demonstrates a clear relationship between maternal weight gain and complications during pregnancy.

Relationship between periodontitis and preeclampsia at the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen Hospital. Lima, 2019.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-11-02) Mendoza Pinedo, Claudia Sirena; Girano Castaños, Jorge Alberto
Introduction: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by a generalized vasoconstriction state secondary to systemic endothelial dysfunction, associated with inflammatory/infectious processes. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory infection, and it is in this process where the link with preeclampsia is proposed. Objective: To determine the relationship between periodontitis and preeclampsia at Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen Hospital, Lima, 2019. Methodology: An observational, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted, consisting of 124 pregnant women divided into two groups: 62 with preeclampsia and 62 normotensive. They were attended at Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen Hospital in Lima during October-November 2019. Data were collected from medical records in a Data Collection Form, and a clinical oral evaluation was conducted to diagnose and classify periodontitis according to the indicators proposed by Roy C. Page, based on probing depth measurement and clinical attachment loss at the interproximal level, which were recorded in a periodontal chart. Results: The frequency of periodontitis was higher in pregnant women with preeclampsia than in normotensive women, 71% versus 33.9% (OR=4.772 CI=95%; 2.232 – 10.203), establishing a statistically significant relationship between preeclampsia and periodontitis (p=0.0001). Conclusion: In the studied sample, a relationship exists between periodontitis and preeclampsia.

Relationship of the short intergenic period as a risk factor for preterm birth
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-10-02) Pumajulca Ayravilca, Maria Eucaria; Barbaggelata Huaraca, Adriana Josefina
The intergenic period is the time interval between the completion of one pregnancy and the conception of the next. When this period is short, maternal and perinatal morbidity increases. Objectives: To explore existing evidence in the scientific literature regarding the relationship between a short intergenic period and preterm birth. Methodology: A bibliographic search was conducted for scientific articles, developing a search protocol in seven databases: MedLine, Dialnet, Tesis en Red, Scielo, PubMed, Prospero, and the virtual library linked to the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener. Results: Based on 22 studies, all of them aimed to relate the short intergenic period with preterm birth. The relationship between the two variables shows a higher risk of preterm birth and other complications associated with a short intergenic period. However, there is some controversy regarding the prevalence of one pregnancy complication over another. Conclusion: There is evidence in the scientific literature regarding the relationship between a short intergenic period and preterm birth.
