Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the availability guidelines to prevent RhD alloimmunization, severe hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn still occurs in high-income countries. The aim of the study was (1) To assess variations in practices for the prevention of RhD alloimmunization, and (2) to understand midwives' acceptance and appropriation of fetal RhD genotyping. METHODS Descriptive cross-sectional survey of French midwives from September 2017 through January 2018. Participants were asked to complete an internet-based questionnaire that included three clinical vignettes. They were questioned about their practices concerning early pregnancy visit by RhD-negative women, prevention of RhD alloimmunization in women with second-trimester metrorrhagia, and RhD fetal genotyping. RESULTS A total of 827 midwives completed the questionnaire. Only 21.1% reported that they practice all the preventive measures recommended in early pregnancy. In a situation at high risk of RhD alloimmunization during pregnancy, 97.2% of midwives would perform immunoprophylaxis. Nearly, all midwives reported providing information about RhD alloimmunization (92.4%) at the beginning of pregnancy, although only 11.3% offered both written and verbal information; at the time of systematic anti-D immunoprophylaxis (28 weeks), 78% provided information, but only 2.7% both verbally and in writing. Finally, only 50.8% of midwives preferred to include RhD fetal genotyping in routine prenatal prophylaxis. DISCUSSION This study showed significant variations in French midwives' practices to prevent RhD alloimmunization. Better dissemination of guidelines is needed to improve both consistent use of these practices and the quality of information delivered to RhD-negative pregnant women.

J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med 2020; 33:3318-3323. [PMID: 30651010 PMCID: PMC6957762 DOI: 10.1080/14767058.2019.1571575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2018] [Revised: 12/29/2018] [Accepted: 01/15/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Purpose: Perinatal antibiotic exposure may be associated with changes in both early infancy gut microbiota and later childhood obesity. Our objective was to evaluate if group B Streptococcus (GBS) antibiotic prophylaxis is associated with higher body mass index (BMI) in early childhood.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of mother/child dyads in a single hospital system over a 6-year period. All women with term, singleton, vertex, vaginal deliveries who received no antibiotics or received antibiotics only for GBS prophylaxis and whose children had BMIs available at 2-5 years of age were included. Children were divided into three groups for comparison: children born to GBS positive mothers that received antibiotics solely for GBS prophylaxis, children born to GBS negative women that received no antibiotics (healthy controls), and children born to GBS positive mothers who received no antibiotics. The primary outcome was the earliest available child BMI Z-score at 2-5 years of age. Multivariable linear regression was used to estimate differences in child BMI Z-scores between groups, adjusted for maternal BMI, age, race, parity, tobacco use, and child birthweight.Results: Of 4825 women, 786 (16.3%) were GBS positive and received prophylactic antibiotics, 3916 (81.2%) were GBS negative and received no antibiotics, and 123 (2.5%) were GBS positive but received no antibiotics. Childhood BMI Z-scores were similar between children exposed to intrapartum GBS prophylaxis and healthy controls who were unexposed in both unadjusted (mean (SE), 0.04 (0.04) versus -0.3 (0.02), p = .11) and adjusted (0.01 (0.05) versus -0.04 (0.03), p = .3) models.Conclusions: Exposure to intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for GBS was not associated with higher early childhood BMI Z-scores compared to healthy controls.

Impact of intrapartum antimicrobial prophylaxis upon the intestinal microbiota and the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in vaginally delivered full-term neonates. MICROBIOME 2017; 5:93. [PMID: 28789705 PMCID: PMC5549288 DOI: 10.1186/s40168-017-0313-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 145] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2017] [Accepted: 07/21/2017] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Disturbances in the early establishment of the intestinal microbiota may produce important implications for the infant's health and for the risk of disease later on. Different perinatal conditions may be affecting the development of the gut microbiota. Some of them, such as delivery mode or feeding habits, have been extensively assessed whereas others remain to be studied, being critical to identify their impact on the microbiota and, if any, to minimize it. Antibiotics are among the drugs most frequently used in early life, the use of intrapartum antimicrobial prophylaxis (IAP), present in over 30% of deliveries, being the most frequent source of exposure. However, our knowledge on the effects of IAP on the microbiota establishment is still limited. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the impact of IAP investigating a cohort of 40 full-term vaginally delivered infants born after an uncomplicated pregnancy, 18 of which were born from mothers receiving IAP. RESULTS Fecal samples were collected at 2, 10, 30, and 90 days of age. We analyzed the composition of the fecal microbiota during the first 3 months of life by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and quantified fecal short chain fatty acids by gas chromatography. The presence of genes for resistance to antibiotics was determined by PCR in the samples from 1-month-old infants. Our results showed an altered pattern of intestinal microbiota establishment in IAP infants during the first weeks of life, with lower relative proportions of Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes and increased of Preoteobacteria and Firmicutes. A delay in the increase on the levels of acetate was observed in IAP infants. The analyses of specific antibiotic resistance genes showed a higher occurrence of some β-lactamase coding genes in infants whose mothers received IAP. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate an effect of IAP on the establishing early microbiota during the first months of life, which represent a key moment for the development of the microbiota-induced host homeostasis. Understanding the impact of IAP in the gut microbiota development is essential for developing treatments to minimize it, favoring a proper gut microbiota development in IAP-exposed neonates.
