Abstract
Background Hyperemesis gravidarum is one of the problems encountered among pregnant women due to persistent and excessive vomiting starting before the end of the 22nd week of gestation. The current study aimed to assess the prevalence of hyperemesis gravidarum and associated factors among pregnant women at comprehensive specialized hospitals in northwest Ethiopia. Methods A multi-facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted at comprehensive specialized hospitals from 1st June 2022 to 30th July 2022. The data were entered using EPI Data Version 4.6 statistical software and analyzed using SPSS Version 26. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, and percentage were calculated. Univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were carried out to identify the associated factors of hyperemesis gravidarum. Results In all, 404 study participants were enrolled. About 16.8% of pregnant women were found to have hyperemesis gravidarum. Age < 20 year (AOR = 3.170; 95% CI: 1.119, 8.980), study participants who cannot read and write (AOR = 5.662; 95% CI: 2.036, 15.7470), grade 1-8 (AOR = 4.679; 95% CI: 1.778, 12.316), and grade 9-10 (AOR = 8.594; 95% CI: 3.017, 24.481), being housewife (AOR = 6.275; 95% CI: 1.052, 37.442), living in urban area (AOR = 2.185; 95% CI: 1.035, 4.609), having previous hyperemesis gravidarum (AOR = 2.463; 95% CI: 1.210, 5.012), having family history of hyperemesis gravidarum (AOR = 2.014; 95% CI: 1.002, 4.047), unplanned pregnancy (AOR = 2.934; 95% CI: 1.030, 8.351), having recent abortion (AOR = 2.750; 95% CI: 1.010, 7.483), and gravidity (AOR = 1.956; 95%CI: 1.023, 3.737) were factors associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. Conclusion The prevalence of hyperemesis gravidarum is higher. Low maternal age, lower educational level, being a housewife, being an urban resident, having previous hyperemesis gravidarum, having a family history, having an unplanned pregnancy, and having a recent abortion were significantly associated with hyperemesis gravidarum.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperemesis gravidarum is a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy characterized by more than 5% weight loss and ketonuria. Although there are cases in Ethiopia, there is still insufficient information regarding the determinant factors of hyperemesis gravidarum.This finding helps to decrease maternal as well as fetal complications of hyperemesis gravidarum by early identification of pregnant mothers who are at high risk. This study aimed to assess determinants of hyperemesis gravidarum among pregnant women attending antenatal care at public and private hospitals in Bahir Dar, North-West Ethiopia, 2022. METHOD A multicenter, facility-based, unmatched case-control study was conducted on 444 pregnant women (148 cases and 296 controls) from January 1 to May 30. Women with a documented diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum on the patient chart were considered as cases, and women who attended antenatal care service without hyperemesis gravidarum were assigned as controls. Cases were selected using a consecutive sampling technique, whereas controls were selected using systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. The data were entered into EPI-Data version 3 and exported into SPSS version 23 for analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify determinants of hyperemesis gravidarum at a p-value of less than 0.05. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to determine the direction of association. RESULTS Living in urban (AOR = 2.717, 95% CI : 1.693,4.502), primigravida (AOR = 6.185, 95% CI: 3.135, 12.202), first& second trimester of pregnancy (AOR = 9.301, 95% CI: 2.877,30.067) & (AOR = 4.785, 95% CI: 1.449,15.805) respectively, family history of hyperemesis gravidarum (AOR = 2.929, 95% CI: 1.268,6.765), helicobacter pylori (AOR = 4.881, 95% CI: 2.053, 11.606) & Depression (AOR = 2.195, 95% CI: 1.004,4.797) were found to be determinants of hyperemesis gravidarum. CONCLUSION Living in an urban area, primigravida woman, being in the first and second trimester, having family history of hyperemesis gravidarum, Helicobacter pylori infection, and having depression were the determinants of hyperemesis gravidarum. Primigravid women, those living in urban areas, and women who have a family history of hyperemesis gravidarum should have psychological support and early treatment initiation if they develop nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Routing screening for Helicobacter pylori infection and mental health care for a mother with depression at the time of preconception care may decreases hyperemesis gravidarum significantly during pregnancy.

Perinatal outcomes of infants born to mothers with hyperemesis gravidarum: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2023; 284:30-51. [PMID: 36924660 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2023.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperemesis gravidarum is the severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy and can lead to undernutrition and low maternal weight gain. Previous epidemiologic and animal studies have shown that undernutrition and low maternal weight gain in pregnancy can increase the risk of unfavorable perinatal outcomes, like shorter gestational age, small for gestational age and lower weight at birth. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of hyperemesis gravidarum on perinatal outcomes. SEARCH STRATEGY OVID Medline and Embase were searched from inception to February 9th, 2022. STUDY ELIGIBILITY Studies reporting on perinatal outcomes of infants born to mothers with hyperemesis gravidarum or severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy were included. Case reports, case series, animal studies, reviews, editorials and conference abstracts were excluded. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two reviewers independently selected and extracted data. Risk of bias was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. We conducted meta-analyses where possible. RESULTS Our search yielded 1387 unique papers, of which 61 studies (n = 20,532,671 participants) were included in our systematic review. Meta-analyses showed that hyperemesis gravidarum was associated with preterm birth < 34 weeks (2 studies n = 2,882: OR 2.81, 95 %CI: 1.69-4.67), birth weight < 1500 g (2 studies, n = 489,141: OR 1.43, 95 %CI: 1.02-1.99), neonatal resuscitation (2 studies, n = 4,289,344: OR 1.07, 95 %CI: 1.05-1.10), neonatal intensive care unit admission (7 studies, n = 6,509,702: OR 1.20, 95 %CI: 1.14-1.26) and placental abruption (6 studies, n = 9,368,360: OR 1.15, 95 %CI: 1.05-1.25). Hyperemesis gravidarum was associated with reductions in birthweight > 4000 g (2 studies, n = 5,503,120: OR 0.74, 95 %CI: 0.72-0.76) and stillbirth (9 studies, n = 3,973,154: OR 0.92, 95 %CI: 0.85-0.99). Meta-analyses revealed no association between hyperemesis gravidarum and Apgar scores < 7 at 1 and 5 min; fetal loss, perinatal deaths and neonatal deaths. CONCLUSION Hyperemesis gravidarum is associated with several adverse perinatal outcomes including low birth weight and preterm birth. We also found that pregnancies complicated by hyperemesis gravidarum less frequently were complicated by macrosomia and stillbirth. We were unable to investigate underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition of intractable vomiting during pregnancy that leads to fluid and electrolyte imbalance, nutrition deficiency and weight loss often requiring hospital admission. Approximately 0.3%-10.8% of pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy. It has been associated with both maternal and fetal morbidity. There is limited evidence about the proportion of hyperemesis gravidarum and associated factors in the study area. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of hyperemesis gravidarum and associated factors among pregnant women admitted into the obstetric ward at Akesta General Hospital, South Wollo Zone, Ethiopia. METHODS This is hospital-based cross-sectional study of 355 pregnant mothers in Akesta general hospital in northeast Ethiopia from September 1/2018- to August 30 /2020. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the patient card from the whole admission of pregnant women cards during the study period. The diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum include persistent vomiting not related to other causes, an objective measure of acute starvation, electrolyte abnormalities and acid-base disturbances, as well as weight loss. The data analysis was done using SPSS version 25. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was reported to show the strength of the association. Statistical significance was stated at P-value < 0.05. RESULTS The proportion of hyperemesis gravidarum was 11.3%. Women with previous history of hyperemesis gravidarum AOR (95%CI) = 10.9[2.46, 48.44], previous history of urinary tract infection AOR (95%CI) = 4.32[1.58, 11.86], previous history of gastrointestinal disease AOR (95% CI) = 4.12[1.40, 12.65], history of abortion AOR (95% CI) = 6.23[2.24, 17.52] were factors significantly associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. CONCLUSION In this study, the overall hospital proportion of hyperemesis gravidarum was high. History of gastrointestinal disease, previous history of urinary tract infection, history of hyperemesis gravidarum, and history of abortion were the major risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperemesis gravidarum, a clinical entity characterized by severe nausea and excess vomiting, might lead to a suboptimal maternal nutritional status during pregnancy and subsequently to adverse respiratory health in the offspring. The role of common vomiting symptoms on offspring's respiratory health is unclear. We examined the associations of maternal daily vomiting during early pregnancy with childhood respiratory outcomes, and potential explaining factors. METHODS This study was embedded in a population-based prospective cohort study from early pregnancy onwards among 4232 mothers and their children. Maternal vomiting during early pregnancy was assessed by a questionnaire. At age 10 years, information on current wheezing and ever asthma was obtained by a questionnaire, and lung function was measured by spirometry at our research center. We used multiple regression analyses to assess the associations of maternal daily vomiting during early pregnancy with childhood respiratory outcomes. RESULTS Compared to children from mothers without daily vomiting during early pregnancy, children from mothers with daily vomiting during early pregnancy had a higher forced expiratory flow when 75% of the forced vital capacity (FVC) is exhaled (Z-score difference [95% confidence interval, CI]: 0.13 [0.03, 0.23]), and an increased risk of current wheezing and ever asthma ([odds ratio, OR] [95% CI]: 1.75 [1.10, 2.79] and 1.61 [1.13, 2.31], respectively). These associations were fully explained by sociodemographic factors, but not sex or lifestyle-, infectious-, or growth-related factors. Maternal daily vomiting during early pregnancy was not associated with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1 ), FVC, and FEV1 /FVC. CONCLUSION Only sociodemographic factors explain the associations of maternal daily vomiting during early pregnancy with childhood respiratory outcomes.

Abstract
This study is aimed at determination whether pregnant women who develop hyperemesis gravidarum in the first trimester have a tendency to develop gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). It is also aimed at identification of effects of hyperemesis gravidarum and GDM on prenatal and neonatal status in case they were detected together. Hyperemesis gravidarum diagnose was based on the following signs and symptoms. To diagnose GDM, first trimester fasting blood glucose measurement and subsequent blood glucose monitoring and 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed in the second trimester. A total of 949 singleton pregnant women (95 with and 852 without hyperemesis gravidarum) who met our criteria were included in the study. In the first trimester, plasma blood glucose and positive GDM screening were found to be significantly higher in the hyperemesis gravidarum group compared to the control group (p=0.042 and p<0.001, respectively). However, actual GDM cases were similar between both groups. The positive predictive value was significantly lower in the hyperemesis gravidarum group (28.5% vs. 72.7%, p=0.003). In the second trimester, the prevalence of GDM was 6.6% in the hyperemesis gravidarum group and 7.3% in the control group, with no significant difference (p=0.218) between-groups. In this study, hyperemesis gravidarum was found to cause changes in maternal metabolism in the first trimester of pregnancy due to limited calorie intake and fasting; in the presence of hyperemesis gravidarum, it should be known that the positive predictive value of first trimester gestational diabetes screening may decrease and the diagnosis of pseudo-GDM may increase.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is associated with adverse somatic and psychological effects. The impact of HG on neonatal outcomes is debatable given that disagreeing research results have appeared. The objective of this study was to systematically review, according to the PRISMA guidelines, and synthesize the available evidence from observational studies on the relationship between HG and neonatal outcomes. The PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct databases were systematically reviewed, with the last search carried out in April 2020. The quality of the studies was estimated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for non-randomized studies. The databases search yielded 516 studies 15 of which (n = 112.372 HG cases) matched eligibility criteria while the majority of the studies were of moderate quality (n = 12). We observed heterogeneity among the studies regarding the definition of HG and characteristics of the samples. The results of this systematic review suggest that it is still uncertain whether HG has an adverse impact on neonatal outcomes, fact that requires more studies to be conducted.

Abstract
Background Nausea and vomiting are experienced by a majority of pregnant women worldwide. Previous studies have yielded conflicting results regarding their impact on birth outcomes and few studies have examined this relationship in settings with limited resources. We aimed to determine the effect of nausea, vomiting and poor appetite during pregnancy on birth outcomes in rural Nepal. Methods Observational cohort study using data collected in two randomized, community-based trials to assess the effect of influenza immunization during pregnancy on reproductive and respiratory outcomes among pregnant women and their offspring. Pregnant women in Sarlahi District, Nepal were recruited from 2011 to 2013. Exposure was defined as nausea, vomiting or poor appetite at any point during pregnancy and by trimester; symptoms were recorded monthly throughout pregnancy. Adverse outcomes were low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth and small for gestational age (SGA). Adjusted relative risks (aRR) with 95% CIs are reported from Poisson regressions with robust variance. Results Among 3,623 pregnant women, the cumulative incidence of nausea, vomiting or poor appetite was 49.5% (n = 1793) throughout pregnancy and 60.6% (n = 731) in the first trimester. Significantly higher aRRs of LBW and SGA were observed among women experiencing symptoms during pregnancy as compared to symptom free women (LBW: aRR 1.20; 95% CI 1.05 1.28; SGA: aRR 1.16; 95% CI 1.05 1.28). Symptoms in the first trimester were not significantly associated with any of the outcomes. In the second trimester, we observed significantly higher aRRs for LBW and SGA (LBW: aRR 1.17; 95% CI 1.01 1.36; SGA: aRR 1.16; 95% CI 1.05 1.29) and a significantly lower aRR for preterm birth (aRR 0.75; 95% CI 0.59 0.96). In the third trimester, we observed significantly higher aRRs for LBW and SGA (LBW: aRR 1.20; 95% CI 1.01 1.43; SGA: aRR 1.14; 95% CI 1.01 1.29). Conclusions Symptoms of nausea, vomiting or poor appetite during pregnancy are associated with LBW, SGA and preterm birth in a setting with limited resources, especially beyond the first trimester. Trial registration Prospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on Dec 17, 2009 (NCT01034254).

Abstract
MAIN QUESTIONS In this investigation of hospitalized cases of HG and subsequent births, we examine differences between patients who have and who have not experienced migration as well as the effect of HG on perinatal outcome. METHODS Retrospective quantitative data of hospitalized patients suffering from HG (1997-2015) was analyzed. Also analyzed was a retrospective record of perinatal data on a subgroup of patients (2002-2016), and a control group (matched pairs) based on the register of births created. RESULTS 1103 women with HG were hospitalized; in 434 cases birth outcome data could be evaluated as well. Migrants suffer from HG earlier in pregnancy; they are, however, less frequently exposed to psychosocial stress (according to anamnestic data). HG patients are younger and have more multiple pregnancies; the newborns are lighter (-70g) but have fewer congenital malformations (aOR 0.32, 95% CI 0.11-0.96) and are less frequently in need of treatment on the neonatology ward (aOR 0.59, 95% CI 0.36-0.97). CONCLUSION Pregnant migrants are a special risk group for HG, possibly because of migration-caused stress. With severe HG, there are no adverse outcomes on the rest of the pregnancy.

Meinich T, Trovik J. Early maternal weight gain as a risk factor for SGA in pregnancies with hyperemesis gravidarum: a 15-year hospital cohort study. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2020; 20:255. [PMID: 32345259 PMCID: PMC7189646 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-020-02947-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inadequate maternal weight gain increases the risk of small-for-gestational age (SGA) infants. Women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) are at risk of significant early pregnancy weight loss and insufficient total pregnancy weight gain. Recent studies have implied that weight gain during the first half of pregnancy is more crucial to pregnancy outcome than total weight gain. The aim of this study was to investigate whether not regaining prepregnancy weight by 13-18 weeks of gestation contributed to not reaching minimum body mass index (BMI)-specific total pregnancy weight gain and influenced the risk of SGA outcome in HG pregnancies. METHODS In this retrospective 15-year cohort (2002-2016) of women hospitalized due to hyperemesis gravidarum, we reviewed individual patient hospital files and corresponding outpatient maternity records to collect prepregnancy BMI and weight, pregnancy weight gain (spanning 3-week intervals), delivery weight and foetal outcomes. BMI and total pregnancy weight gain goals were categorized according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2009 guidelines: BMI < 18,5 kg/m2: 12.5-18 kg, 18.5-24.9 kg/m2: 11.5-16 kg, 25-29.9 kg/m2: 7-11.5 kg and > 30 kg/m2: 5-9 kg. Birth weight was categorized as SGA if less than the 10th percentile of sex- and gestational length-specific Norwegian neonatal weight charts. Nonparametric tests were used to compare weight categories, and logistic regression was used to predict the odds ratio (OR) of inadequate total pregnancy weight gain or SGA delivery. RESULTS Out of 892 women hospitalized for HG during 2002-2016, 784 had a pregnancy lasting > 24 weeks, of which 746 were singleton pregnancies with follow-up until delivery. Among these women, 42 were classified as underweight, 514 as normal weight, 230 as overweight and 102 as obese before pregnancy. Not regaining prepregnancy weight by week 13-18 was an independent predictor of inadequate total gestational weight gain with an OR of 7.05 (95% CI 4.24-11.71) and an independent predictor for SGA outcome with an OR of 2.66 (95% CI 1.11-6.34), even when adjusted for total pregnancy weight gain, prepregnancy BMI, parity, age and smoking status. CONCLUSION Inadequate total maternal weight gain and not regaining prepregnancy weight by week 13-18 may be considered independent risk factors for delivering a baby that is small for gestational age in pregnancies with hyperemesis gravidarum. Achieving adequate weight gain during the first trimester in HG pregnancies is important for the foetal outcome, underscoring the importance of nutritional treatment during this period.

Abstract
Objective: To compare maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnancies complicated and not complicated with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) necessitating hospitalization. Method: A total of 386 women with singleton deliveries between March 2015 and January 2018 were included in this retrospective single-center study. Of 386 women, 186 women (mean±SD age: 30.7±5.9 years) who were hospitalized with HG within the first 20 weeks of gestation comprised the hyperemetic pregnancy group, while 200 women without HG during pregnancy served as a control group. Results: No significant difference was noted between the HG and control groups in terms of maternal characteristics, gestational age (median 38.6 and 39.0 weeks, respectively), type of delivery (normal spontaneous delivery in 78.0% vs 80.0%), fetal gender (female: 53.2% vs 48.5%), birthweight (median 3250 g vs 3275 g) and 5-min APGAR scores (≥7 in 97.3% vs 97.5%, respectively). Adverse pregnancy outcomes were also similar between groups including preterm birth (8.1% vs 11.0%, respectively), SGA (5.9% vs 9.5%), hypertensive disorder (5.4% vs 7.5%), placental abruption (1.1% vs 0.5%,), stillbirth (0.0% vs 0.5%) and GDM (3.8%vs 2.5%). Weight loss during pregnancy was evident in 91.3% of women in the HG group, while none of women in the control group had weight loss during pregnancy (p<0.001). Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that HG may not be related with adverse fetal and prenatal outcomes and this conclusion needs to be clarified with large-scale investigations.

Abstract
Background: Evidence suggests that low birth weight and fetal exposure to extreme maternal undernutrition is associated with cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Hyperemesis gravidarum, a clinical entity characterized by severe nausea and excess vomiting leading to a suboptimal maternal nutritional status during early pregnancy, is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Several studies also showed that different measures related to hyperemesis gravidarum, such as maternal daily vomiting or severe weight loss, are associated with increased risks of adverse fetal pregnancy outcomes. Not much is known about long-term offspring consequences of maternal hyperemesis gravidarum and related measures during pregnancy. We examined the associations of maternal daily vomiting during early pregnancy, as a measure related to hyperemesis gravidarum, with childhood cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: In a population-based prospective cohort study from early pregnancy onwards among 4,769 mothers and their children in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, we measured childhood body mass index, total fat mass percentage, android/gynoid fat mass ratio, preperitoneal fat mass area, blood pressure, lipids, and insulin levels. We used multiple regression analyses to assess the associations of maternal vomiting during early pregnancy with childhood cardiovascular outcomes. Results: Compared with the children of mothers without daily vomiting during early pregnancy, the children of mothers with daily vomiting during early pregnancy had a higher childhood total body fat mass (difference 0.12 standard deviation score [SDS]; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03–0.20), android/gynoid fat mass ratio (difference 0.13 SDS; 95% CI 0.04–0.23), and preperitoneal fat mass area (difference 0.10 SDS; 95% CI 0–0.20). These associations were not explained by birth characteristics but partly explained by higher infant growth. Maternal daily vomiting during early pregnancy was not associated with childhood blood pressure, lipids, and insulin levels. Conclusions: Maternal daily vomiting during early pregnancy is associated with higher childhood total body fat mass and abdominal fat mass levels, but not with other cardiovascular risk factors. Further studies are needed to replicate these findings, to explore the underlying mechanisms and to assess the long-term consequences.

Abstract
Background Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a rare complication of pregnancy that involves persistent nausea and extreme vomiting to an intensity that differentiates HG from nausea and vomiting commonly experienced during pregnancy. Research has suggested potential biological and psychological etiological pathways for HG, but the augmented prevalence in immigrant populations, which is 4.5 times higher, remains unclear. Studies show that in order to better address the psychosocial needs of immigrant patients with HG, we must first improve our understanding of how they experience their illness. The objective of this study was to understand the meaning and experience of HG among immigrant women in Canada. Methods Our “qualitative comparative analysis design” involved a sample of 15 pregnant mothers following their hospitalization for HG, including 11 immigrant women and 4 Canadian-born women recruited for comparison purposes. We used the Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale to assess distress, and the McGill Illness Narrative Interview Schedule to explore how pregnant women understood and experienced their HG and the health services that they received. Results With the exception of a few women whose mothers suffered from HG, immigrant women and their loved ones did not have cultural knowledge to attribute meaning to HG symptoms. This left them vulnerable to criticism from family, as well as feelings of self-doubt, stress, and anxiety. We interpret this phenomenon as ‘victim blaming’. Immigrant women’s experience of HG was also characterised by high levels of depressive symptoms (40%) which they linked to the severity of their symptoms, high levels of stress associated with adapting to their new country, social isolation, and loss of female family members. Furthermore, in contrast to Canadian-born women, immigrant women frequently reported feeling that their symptoms were minimized by hospital emergency room medical staff, which led to delays in obtaining appropriate health care. However, once admitted to hospital, they perceived the care provided by dieticians and nurses as helpful in managing their symptoms. Conclusions Wider awareness of the impact of HG may improve the quality of family support for immigrant women. There is a need to improve the delays and appropriateness of clinical care.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients complicated with mild or severe Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). METHODS A retrospective cohort study of women aged 18-45 with a singleton pregnancy that were admitted to the gynecological ward at the Soroka University Medical Center due to HG between the years 2013-2016 and gave birth at the same hospital was conducted. During the study period 89 patients met the inclusion criteria and comprised the study group. Women without HG who gave birth at the same time period comprised the comparison group (n = 91). Univariate analysis was carried out using Chi square or Fisher's exact test for nominal variables, and T test for numeric variables. Significance was defined as a P value < 0.05. RESULTS Women with HG were more likely to have experienced HG in a previous pregnancy. Rate of amniotic fluid abnormalities was significantly lower in the study group. However, rates of all other pregnancy complications were comparable between the groups. A sub-analysis of the HG group comparing mild and severe cases demonstrated no significant differences in rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes between the groups. CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective cohort study no association was demonstrated between HG and adverse pregnancy outcomes regardless of HG severity. Women with severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy can be reassured that HG is not associated with unfavorable maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess how nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) are managed and treated across primary and secondary care. DESIGN Population-based pregnancy cohort. SETTING Medical records (CPRD-GOLD) from England. POPULATION 417 028 pregnancies during 1998-2014. METHODS Proportions of pregnancies with recorded NVP/HG diagnoses, primary care treatment, and hospital admissions were calculated. Multinomial logistic regression was employed to estimate adjusted relative risk ratios (aRRRs) with 99% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between NVP/HG management paths and maternal characteristics. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES NVP/HG diagnoses, treatments, and hospital admissions. RESULTS Overall prevalence of clinically recorded NVP/HG was 9.1%: 2.1% had hospital admissions, 3.4% were treated with antiemetics in primary care only, and 3.6% had only recorded diagnoses. Hospital admissions and antiemetic prescribing increased continuously during 1998-2013 (trend P < 0.001). Younger age, deprivation, Black/Asian/mixed ethnicity, and multiple pregnancy were associated with NVP/HG generally across all levels, but associations were strongest for hospital admissions. Most comorbidities had patterns of association with NVP/HG levels. Among women with NVP/HG who had no hospital admissions, 49% were prescribed antiemetics, mainly from first-line treatment (21% prochlorperazine, 15% promethazine, 13% cyclizine) and metoclopramide (10%). Of those admitted, 38% had prior antiemetic prescriptions (34% first-line, 9% second-line, 1% third-line treatment). CONCLUSION Previous focus on hospital admissions has greatly underestimated the NVP/HG burden. Although primary care prescribing has increased, most women admitted to hospital have no antiemetics prescribed before this. An urgent call is made to assess whether admissions could be prevented with better primary care recognition and timely treatment. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT The NVP/HG burden is increasing over time and management optimisation should be high priority to help reduce hospital admissions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low birth weight has important short- and long-term health implications. Previously it has been shown that pregnancies affected by hyperemesis gravidarum in the mother are at higher risk of having low birth weight offspring. In this study we tested whether such risks are also evident with less severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. METHODS One thousand two hundred thirty-eight women in the prospective Cambridge Baby Growth Study filled in pregnancy questionnaires which included questions relating to adverse effects of pregnancy and drugs taken during that time. Ordinal logistic regression models, adjusted for parity, ethnicity, marital and smoking status were used to relate the risk of giving birth to low birth weight (< 2.5 kg) babies to nausea and/or vomiting in pregnancy that were not treated with anti-emetics and did not report suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum. RESULTS Only three women in the cohort reported having had hyperemesis gravidarum although a further 17 women reported taking anti-emetics during pregnancy. Of those 1218 women who did not take anti-emetics 286 (23.5%) did not experience nausea or vomiting, 467 (38.3%) experienced nausea but not vomiting and 465 experienced vomiting (38.2%). Vomiting during pregnancy was associated with higher risk of having a low birth weight baby (odds ratio 3.5 (1.2, 10.8), p = 0.03). The risk associated with vomiting was found in the first (p = 0.01) and second (p = 0.01) trimesters but not the third (p = 1.0). The higher risk was not evident in those women who only experienced nausea (odds ratio 1.0 (0.3, 4.0), p = 1.0). CONCLUSIONS Vomiting in early pregnancy, even when not perceived to be sufficiently severe to merit treatment, is associated with a higher risk of delivering a low birth weight baby. Early pregnancy vomiting might therefore be usable as a marker of higher risk of low birth weight in pregnancy. This may be of benefit in situations where routine ultrasound is not available to distinguish prematurity from fetal growth restriction, so low birth weight is used as an alternative.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although vomiting in the first trimester has been reported to be associated with preterm birth (PTB), findings supporting this association remain inconsistent. Our aim was to assess the association between vomiting and PTB, as well as evaluate if the association is modified by pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI). DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING Wuhan, a central city of China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 317 463 pregnant women who had a live, singleton newborn from 1 January 2010 to 23 May 2016 were enrolled in our study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE PTB was defined as gestational age <37 gestational weeks. Gestational age was calculated using reports from mothers based on the first day of their last menstrual period. An ultrasound was routinely used to determine gestational age before 12 gestational weeks. RESULTS Of the 317 463 pregnant women, 29.88% (94 857) experienced vomiting in the first trimester and 5.00% (15 889) experienced a PTB. Vomiting in the first trimester increased the risk for PTB and the multivariable adjusted OR was 1.05 (95% CI 1.02 to 1.09). In the stratified analyses, the association of vomiting in the first trimester was significant among underweight women (adjusted OR=1.08, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.17) and normal pre-pregnancy BMI women (adjusted OR=1.06, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.11), but not in overweight women (adjusted OR=1.01, 95% CI 0.90 to 1.14) and obese women (adjusted OR=0.93, 95% CI 0.73 to 1.19). CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that vomiting in the first trimester was associated with PTB. Additionally, women with underweight and normal pre-pregnancy BMI who experienced vomiting are more likely to have a PTB.

Abstract
Background: Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) leads to dehydration, poor nutritional intake, and weight loss. HG has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as low birth weight. Information about the potential effectiveness of treatments for HG is limited.Objective: We hypothesized that in women with HG, early enteral tube feeding in addition to standard care improves birth weight.Design: We performed a multicenter, open-label randomized controlled trial [Maternal and Offspring outcomes after Treatment of HyperEmesis by Refeeding (MOTHER)] in 19 hospitals in the Netherlands. A total of 116 women hospitalized for HG between 5 and 20 wk of gestation were randomly allocated to enteral tube feeding for ≥7 d in addition to standard care with intravenous rehydration and antiemetic treatment or to standard care alone. Women were encouraged to continue tube feeding at home. On the basis of our power calculation, a sample size of 120 women was anticipated. Analyses were performed according to the intention-to-treat principle.Results: Between October 2014 and March 2016 we randomly allocated 59 women to enteral tube feeding and 57 women to standard care. The mean ± SD birth weight was 3160 ± 770 g in the enteral tube feeding group compared with 3200 ± 680 g in the standard care group (mean difference: -40 g, 95% CI: -230, 310 g). Secondary outcomes, including maternal weight gain, duration of hospital stay, readmission rate, nausea and vomiting symptoms, decrease in quality of life, psychological distress, prematurity, and small-for-gestational-age, also were comparable. Of the women allocated to enteral tube feeding, 28 (47%) were treated according to protocol. Enteral tube feeding was discontinued within 7 d of placement in the remaining women, primarily because of its adverse effects (34%).Conclusions: In women with HG, early enteral tube feeding does not improve birth weight or secondary outcomes. Many women discontinued tube feeding because of discomfort, suggesting that it is poorly tolerated as an early routine treatment of HG. This trial was registered at www.trialregister.nl as NTR4197.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe and prolonged form of nausea and/or vomiting during pregnancy. HG affects 0.3-2% of pregnancies and is defined by dehydration, ketonuria, and more than 5% body weight loss. Initial pharmacologic treatment for HG includes a combination of doxylamine and pyridoxine. Additional interventions include ondansetron or dopamine antagonists such as metoclopramide or promethazine. The options are limited for women who are not adequately treated with these medications. We suggest that mirtazapine is a useful drug in this context and its efficacy has been described in case studies. Mirtazapine acts on noradrenergic, serotonergic, histaminergic, and muscarinic receptors to produce antidepressant, anxiolytic, antiemetic, sedative, and appetite-stimulating effects. Mirtazapine is not associated with an independent increased risk of birth defects. Further investigation of mirtazapine as a treatment for HG holds promise to expand treatment options for women suffering from HG.

Abstract
AIM Our objective was to measure the circulating levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) among pregnant with hyperemesis gravidarum (HEG) and to compare their levels with age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched control pregnant women. METHOD The pregnant subjects were classified into the HEG group diagnosed with HEG (n=45) and age- and BMI-matched control group without a diagnosis of HEG (n=45) during their pregnancies. Serum IMA, hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cells, platelet, fasting blood glucose, creatinine, lipid profile, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) urea, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), sodium, potassium and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels of the groups were measured. RESULT Serum hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cells, platelet, fasting blood glucose, creatinine, lipid profile, AST, urea, ALT, sodium, potassium and TSH levels of the groups were statistically similar. Serum IMA values were significantly higher in subjects with HEG compared to the subjects without HEG. CONCLUSIONS We found that HEG was related to increased maternal serum IMA levels. HEG might be due to an ischemic intrauterine environment leading to elevated serum IMA concentrations.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a pregnancy condition characterised by severe nausea and vomiting. Previous studies have shown an association between HG and depressive symptoms during pregnancy, but little is known about the risk of maternal psychological distress following an HG pregnancy. The objective of the current study was therefore to assess the association between HG and emotional distress during and after pregnancy. This was a population-based pregnancy cohort study using data from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study. A total of 851/92,947 (0.9%) had HG. Emotional distress was measured by the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (SCL-5) in gestational weeks 17 and 32 and 6 and 18 months postpartum. The generalised estimating equations model was estimated for assessing time trends in emotional distress. Adjustments were made for previous HG, lifetime history of depression, maternal age, parity, BMI, smoking before pregnancy, physical activity, length of education, and pelvic girdle pain. Women with HG had higher odds for emotional distress than women without HG at the 17th (p < 0.001) and 32nd gestational weeks (p = 0.001) in addition to 6 months postpartum (p = 0.005) but not 18 months postpartum (p = 0.430). Adjusted odds for emotional distress varied significantly over time for women with and without HG (p = 0.035). Women with HG were more likely to report emotional distress compared to women without HG during pregnancy and 6 months postpartum, but the difference between the groups disappeared 18 months after birth. The results suggest that the increased risk of developing emotional distress may primarily be a consequence of HG.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a pregnancy condition characterised by debilitating nausea and vomiting. HG has been associated with depression during pregnancy but the direction of the association remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess whether previous depression is associated with HG. This is a population-based pregnancy cohort study using data from The Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study. The study reviewed 731 pregnancies with HG and 81,055 pregnancies without. Logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the association between a lifetime history of depression and hyperemesis gravidarum. Odds ratios were adjusted for symptoms of current depression, maternal age, parity, body mass index, smoking, sex of the child, education and pelvic girdle pain. A lifetime history of depression was associated with higher odds for hyperemesis gravidarum (aOR = 1.49, 95% CI (1.23; 1.79)). Two thirds of women with hyperemesis gravidarum had neither a history of depression nor symptoms of current depression, and 1.2% of women with a history of depression developed HG. A lifetime history of depression increased the risk of HG. However, given the fact that only 1.2% of women with a history of depression developed HG and that the majority of women with HG had no symptoms of depression, depression does not seem to be a main driver in the aetiology of HG.

Abstract
Background Evidence about the consequence of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) on pregnancy outcomes is still inconclusive. In this study, we evaluated if occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum is associated with placental dysfunction disorders and neonatal outcomes. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted in a maternal and child health primary care referral center, Budi Kemuliaan Hospital and its branch, in Jakarta, Indonesia. 2252 pregnant women visiting the hospital for regular antenatal care visits from July 2012 until October 2014 were included at their first clinic visit. For women without, with mild and with severe hyperemesis, placental dysfunction disorders (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia (PE), stillbirth, miscarriage), neonatal outcomes (birth weight, small for gestational age (SGA), low birth weight (LBW), Apgar score at 5 min, gestational age at delivery) and placental outcomes (placental weight and placental-weight-to-birth-weight ratio (PW/BW ratio)) were studied. Results Compared to newborns of women without hyperemesis, newborns of women with severe hyperemesis had a 172 g lower birth weight in adjusted analysis (95%CI -333.26; -10.18; p = 0.04). There were no statistically significant effects on placental dysfunction disorders or other neonatal outcome measures. Conclusions The results of our study suggest that hyperemesis gravidarum does not seem to induce placental dysfunction disorders, but does, if severe lead to lower birth weight.

Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) affects 1 % of all pregnant women and in western societies it is the most common cause for hospital admission during first trimester. The economic burden of the disease has barely been studied. To estimate the Israeli national burden of HG, Konikoff and co-workers obtained data retrospectively on hospital costs as well as loss of workdays from 184 women hospitalized due to HG from December 2010 until December 2013. Their findings emphasise the need for better treatment to reduce the burden of this disease both for the individual as well as the society.

Abstract
Background Small-for-gestational-age in infancy is a known risk factor not only for short-term prognosis but also for several long-term outcomes, such as neurological and metabolic disorders in adulthood. Previous research has shown that severe nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy (NVP) and hyperemesis gravidarum, which is an extreme form of NVP, represent risk factors for small-for-gestational-age birth. However, there is no clear consensus on this association. Thus, in the present study, we investigated the correlation between hyperemesis gravidarum and NVP on the one hand, and infant birth weight on the other, using data from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study (JECS). Methods The data utilized in the present study were obtained from the JECS, an ongoing cohort study that began in January 2011. Our sample size was 8635 parent–child pairs. The presence or absence of severe NVP, hyperemesis gravidarum, and potential confounding factors were noted. A multivariable regression analysis was used to estimate risks for small-for-gestational-age birth, and the results were expressed as risk ratios and 95 % confidence intervals. Results The risk ratios of small-for-gestational-age birth (95 % confidence interval) for mothers with severe NVP and those with hyperemesis gravidarum were 0.86 (0.62–1.19) and 0.81 (0.39–1.66), respectively, which represents a non-significant result. Conclusions In our analysis of JECS data, neither severe NVP nor hyperemesis gravidarum was associated with increased risk for small-for-gestational-age birth.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION What are the maternal risk factors for hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) hospital admission, readmission and reoccurrence in a following pregnancy? SUMMARY ANSWER Young age, less socioeconomic deprivation, nulliparity, Asian or Black ethnicity, female fetus, multiple pregnancy, history of HG in a previous pregnancy, thyroid and parathyroid dysfunction, hypercholesterolemia and Type 1 diabetes are all risk factors for HG. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Women with Black or Asian ethnicity, of young age, carrying multiple babies or singleton females, with Type 1 diabetes or with a history of HG were previously reported to be at higher risk of developing HG; however, most evidence is from small studies. Little is known about associations with other comorbidities and there is controversy over other risk factors such as parity. Estimates of HG prevalence vary and there is a little understanding of the risks of HG readmission in a current pregnancy and reoccurrence rates in subsequent pregnancies, all of which are needed for planning measures to reduce onset or worsening of the condition. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION We performed a population-based cohort study of pregnancies ending in live births and stillbirths using prospectively recorded secondary care records (Hospital Episode Statistics) from England. We analysed those computerized and anonymized clinical records from over 5.3 million women who had one or more pregnancies between 1997 and 2012. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS We obtained 8 215 538 pregnancies from 5 329 101 women of reproductive age, with a total of 186 800 HG admissions occurring during 121 885 pregnancies. Multivariate logistic regression with generalized estimating equations was employed to estimate odds ratios (aOR) to assess sociodemographic, pregnancy and comorbidity risk factors for HG onset, HG readmission within a pregnancy and reoccurrence in a subsequent pregnancy. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Being younger, from a less socioeconomically deprived status, of Asian or Black ethnicity, carrying a female fetus or having a multiple pregnancy all significantly increased HG and readmission risk but only ethnicity increased reoccurrence. Comorbidities most strongly associated with HG were parathyroid dysfunction (aOR = 3.83, 95% confidence interval 2.28-6.44), hypercholesterolemia (aOR = 2.54, 1.88-3.44), Type 1 diabetes (aOR = 1.95, 1.82-2.09), and thyroid dysfunction (aOR = 1.85, 1.74-1.96). History of HG was the strongest independent risk factor (aOR = 4.74, 4.46-5.05). Women with higher parity had a lower risk of HG compared with nulliparous women (aOR = 0.90, 0.89-0.91), which was not explained by women with HG curtailing further pregnancies. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Although this represents the largest population-based study worldwide on the topic, the results could have been biased by residual and unmeasured confounding considering that some potential important risk factors such as smoking, BMI or prenatal care could not be measured with these data. Underestimation of non-routinely screened comorbidities such as hypercholesterolemia or thyroid dysfunction could also be a cause of selection bias. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The estimated prevalence of 1.5% from our study was similar to the average prevalence reported in the literature and the representativeness of our data has been validated by comparison to national statistics. Also the prevalence of comorbidities was mostly similar to other studies estimating these in the UK and other developed countries. Women with Black or Asian ethnicity, of young age, carrying multiple babies or singleton females, with Type 1 diabetes or with history of HG were confirmed to be at higher risk of HG with an unprecedented higher statistical power. We showed for the first time that socioeconomic status interacts with maternal age, that hypercholesterolemia is a potential risk factor for HG and that carrying multiple females increases risk of hyperemesis compared with multiple males. We also provided robust evidence for the association of parity with HG. Earlier recognition and management of symptoms via gynaecology day-case units or general practitioner services can inform prevention and control of consequent hospital admissions.

Abstract
Nausea and occasional vomiting in early pregnancy (NVP) are common. When vomiting is severe or protracted, it is referred to as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). HG affects up to 3% of pregnancies and is characterized by weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and the need for hospital admission. HG has significant consequences for maternal well-being, is associated with adverse birth outcomes, and leads to major health care costs. Treatment options are symptomatic, hampered by the lack of evidence-based options including studies on nutritional interventions. One of the reasons for this lack of evidence is the use of a broad range of definitions and outcome measures. An internationally accepted definition and the formulation of core outcomes would facilitate meta-analysis of trial results and implementation of evidence in guidelines to ultimately improve patient care.

Abstract
The Obesity pandemic will afflict future generations without successful prevention, intervention and management. Attention to reducing obesity before, during and after pregnancy is essential for mothers and their offspring. Preconception weight loss is difficult given that many pregnancies are unplanned. Interventions aimed at limiting gestational weight gain have produced minimal maternal and infant outcomes. Therefore, increased research to develop evidence-based clinical practice is needed to adequately care for obese pregnant women especially during antenatal care. This review evaluates the current evidence of obesity interventions during pregnancy various including weight loss for safety and efficacy. Recommendations are provided with the end goal being a healthy pregnancy, optimal condition for breastfeeding and prevent the progression of obesity in future generations.

Hyperemesis gravidarum and risk of cancer in offspring, a Scandinavian registry-based nested case-control study. BMC Cancer 2015; 15:398. [PMID: 25963309 PMCID: PMC4430929 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-015-1425-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2014] [Accepted: 05/06/2015] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperemesis gravidarum is a serious condition affecting 0.8-2.3% of pregnant women and can be regarded as a restricted period of famine. Research concerning potential long-term consequences of the condition for the offspring, is limited, but lack of nutrition in-utero has been associated with chronic disease in adulthood, including some cancers. There is growing evidence that several forms of cancer may originate during fetal life. We conducted a large study linking the high-quality population-based medical birth- and cancer registries in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, to explore whether hyperemesis is associated with increased cancer risk in offspring. METHODS A registry-based nested case-control study. Twelve types of childhood cancer were selected; leukemia, lymphoma, cancer of the central nervous system, testis, bone, ovary, breast, adrenal and thyroid gland, nephroblastoma, hepatoblastoma and retinoblastoma. Conditional logistic regression models were applied to study associations between hyperemesis and risk of childhood cancer, both all types combined and separately. Cancer types with five or more exposed cases were stratified by age at diagnosis. All analysis were adjusted for maternal age, ethnicity and smoking, in addition to the offspring's Apgar score, placental weight and birth weight. Relative risks with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. RESULTS In total 14,805 cases and approximately ten controls matched on time, country of birth, sex and year of birth per case (147,709) were identified. None of the cancer types, analyzed combined or separately, revealed significant association with hyperemesis. When stratified according to age at diagnosis, we observed a RR 2.13 for lymphoma among adolescents aged 11-20 years ((95% CI 1.14-3.99), after adjustment for maternal ethnicity and maternal age, RR 2.08 (95% CI 1.11-3.90)). The finding was not apparent when a stricter level of statistical significance was applied. CONCLUSIONS The main finding of this paper is that hyperemesis does not seem to increase cancer risk in offspring. The positive association to lymphoma may be by chance and needs confirmation.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is no consensus as to the treatment strategy for abdominal wall hernias in fertile women. This study was undertaken to review the current literature on treatment of abdominal wall hernias in fertile women before or during pregnancy. METHODS A literature search was undertaken in PubMed and Embase in combination with a cross-reference search of eligible papers. RESULTS We included 31 papers of which 23 were case reports. In fertile women undergoing sutured or mesh repair, pain was described in a few patients during the last trimester of a subsequent pregnancy. Emergency surgery of incarcerated hernias in pregnant women, as well as combined hernia repair and cesarean section appears as safe procedures. No major complications were reported following hernia repair before or during pregnancy. The combined procedure of elective cesarean section and abdominal wall hernia repair was reported in 102 patients without major complications. CONCLUSIONS The literature on abdominal wall hernia and pregnancy is sparse. Abdominal wall hernia repair with suture or mesh may cause pain in the last trimester of a subsequent pregnancy. Hernia repair in conjunction with cesarean section appear as the optimal treatment of a pregnant patient with a symptomatic abdominal wall hernia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate maternal and fetal outcome in hyperemesis gravidarum comparing enteral tube feeding of the mothers with other fluid/nutrition regimens. DESIGN Retrospective hospital-based cohort. SETTING University hospital, Norway. SAMPLE All 558 women treated for hyperemesis gravidarum 2002-2011; 273 received water/electrolytes intravenously, 177 received nutritional supplements by peripheral line, 107 received enteral feeding by gastroscopically positioned nasojejunal tube and 10 received total parenteral nutrition. METHODS Different fluid/nutritional groups were compared by chi-squared or non-parametric tests. The influence (odds ratio) of nutritional regimens on having small-for-gestational-age infants was evaluated by binary logistic regression. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Maternal weight gain during hospitalization and pregnancy, birthweight and gestational age at delivery. RESULTS Women receiving enteral nutrition had significantly greater weight loss on admission (median 5.0 kg) and at start of nutrition (5.5 kg) than the other treatment groups (4.0 kg) (p < 0.001). Enteral nutrition was administered for up to 41 days (median 5 days) during hospitalization, leading to 0.8 kg weight gain (95% CI 0.5-1.0, p = 0.005). The tube-fed women achieved similar weight gain during pregnancy and experienced similar incidence of preterm birth or small-for-gestational age compared with the other treatment groups. Women with <7 kg total weight gain had increased risk of birthweight <2500 g and small-for-gestational-age infants (odds ratio 3.68, 95% CI 1.89-7.18, p < 0.001). The nutritional regimen used was not an independent risk factor. CONCLUSION Compared with other fluid/nutrition regimens, enteral tube feeding for women affected by severe hyperemesis gravidarum is associated with adequate maternal weight gain and favorable pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a condition of severe nausea or vomiting accompanied by various complications during pregnancy. In the present study, we aimed to demonstrate the effects of HG on mother and fetus health. METHODS Control and case group were arranged from 50 healthy pregnant women and 50 pregnant women with HG. Information about the participant women was gathered with data collection form and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) and State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) were administered to the women. Following an abortion or delivery, the data about birth complications and neonatal health were collected. All laboratory results (blood count, thyroid hormones, electrolyte values and biochemical parameters) were gathered from the laboratory information system used in the hospital. RESULTS It was found that in the case group, mean postpartum weight, serum hemoglobin, hematocrit and thyroid stimulant hormone levels were lower than control group (p < 0.01). Conversely, case group women have higher T3 and T4 levels than control group (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight and abortion but it was observed that women with HG had often delivered prematurely. The mean scores of BDI and SAI in the case group were higher than those of control group. CONCLUSION These results suggested that HG may have adverse effects on both mother and baby's health. Pregnant women with HG should be provided with training and consultancy services and be closely monitored in terms of anemia and thyroid hormones.
