ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Few food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) have been validated for pregnant women, particularly those in small- and medium-sized cities in different regions of Brazil. OBJECTIVES: To validate and calibrate a semiquantitative FFQ for pregnant women. DESIGN AND SETTING: The study was validated with a sample of 50 pregnant women (≥ 18 years) enrolled in Brazilian prenatal services. METHODS: An FFQ and a 24-hour recall were used to evaluate dietary intake. Dietary variables were tested for normality and log-converted when asymmetrical. Pearson's Correlation Coefficient was used to validate the questionnaire. Linear regression was applied to extract calibration factors. All variables underlying the consumption analysis were adjusted for energy. RESULTS: The mean age of the pregnant women was 26 years ± 6.2 years; 58% were in their first trimester, and 30% were identified as overweight/obese. The Pearson correlation analysis results indicated that the FFQ overestimated energy and nutrient intake, whose coefficients ranged from −0.15 (monounsaturated fat) to 0.50 (carbohydrate). Adjusting for energy reduced the mean values of intake coefficients, which now ranged from −0.33 (sodium) to 0.96 (folate). The calibration analysis results indicated variation in the coefficients from −0.23 (sodium) to 1.00 (folate). Calibration produced satisfactory coefficients for the FFQ compared with the reference standard for energy, macronutrients, monounsaturated fat, cholesterol, vitamins B12/C, folate, sodium, iron, and calcium. CONCLUSIONS: After validating and calibrating tests, we observed that the FFQ was adequately accurate for assessing the food consumption of the pregnant women in this study.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Weight retention during the post-partum period is associated with excessive weight gain. OBJECTIVES: To investigate factors associated with maternal weight retention at six months post-partum (PPWR). DESIGN AND SETTING: A prospective cohort study was conducted with 127 women monitored using prenatal services. METHODS: The outcome variable was represented by post-partum maternal weight retention and calculated as the difference between the mother’s weight at sixth month post-partum and her pregestational weight. RESULTS: The mean age of the pregnant women was 26.7 ± 5.25 years old, and the post-partum maternal weight retention was 46.5%. The proximal determinants showed a direct association with PPWR after adjusting for the distal and intermediate variables: excessive gestational weight gain (odds ratio [OR]:3.34; confidence interval [CI]:1.16–9.59), greater adhesion to dietary intake pattern 2 (composed of red meats and derivatives, eggs, industrialized foods, and coffee) (OR:2.70; CI:1.16–6.32), and the absence of exclusive maternal breastfeeding in the first month (OR:3.40; CI:1.27–9.12), as well as primiparity (OR:2.36; CI:1.00–5.55), an intermediate determinant. Insufficient weight gain in pregnancy was inversely associated with the outcome (OR:0.35; CI:0.31–0.93). CONCLUSIONS: Among the hierarchical determinants, proximal factors were interrelated with maternal weight retention, indicating that excessive total weight gain, an inadequate dietary intake pattern, and the absence of exclusive maternal breastfeeding in the first month of life work as dampeners of the return to pre-gestational weight. Prepartum and post-partum care interventions can contribute to reducing excess weight in women. BACKGROUND postpartum post partum OBJECTIVES PPWR. .

Abstract The incidence of premature birth has increased worldwide, unequally distributed by race/ethnicity. Racism generates economic inequalities, educational disparities, and differential access to health care, which increases the risk of preterm birth. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the factors associated with preterm birth and racial and ethnic disparities in premature birth among pregnant women attending prenatal care at the Brazilian Unified Health System health units in the urban area of Santo Antônio de Jesus, Bahia, Brazil. This study used data from 938 pregnant women aged between 18 to 45 years within the NISAMI prospective cohort. Premature birth prevalence was 11.8%, with a higher prevalence among black than non-black women (12.9% versus 6.0%, respectively). Maternal age between 18 and 24 years was the only factor associated with premature birth. A higher risk of premature birth was found among black women than non-black women (RR 3.22; 95%CI 1.42-7.32).

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: There are few studies on the influence of a cash transfer program on nutritional outcomes from pregnancy. OBJECTIVES: To analyze how a Brazilian conditional cash transfer program (Bolsa Familia Program, BFP) was associated with changes in body mass index (BMI) and food consumption among pregnant women. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cohort study on 250 pregnant women (≥ 18 years of age) in Brazilian prenatal services. METHODS: A food frequency questionnaire was used to evaluate dietary intake. Weight was measured in each gestational trimester. Generalized estimation equations and structural equation modeling were used for statistical analyses. Correlations were analyzed using standardized coefficients (SCs). RESULTS: Women benefitting from the BFP were of greater age and had lower education. The BFP exerted a direct negative effect on the pregnant women’s consumption choices regarding refined grains, regional foods, vegetable oil, sausages, salted meats and snacks (SC = -0.10) and on maternal BMI (SC = -0.12). Among the intermediate variables, we observed that the time elapsed since pregnancy and the month of prenatal onset had direct negative effects; and that the number of visits to doctors, family income and number of years of education had direct positive effects. CONCLUSIONS: Beneficiaries were less likely to increase their BMI outside of the recommended standards and had a greater tendency to receive prenatal care. Participation in the BFP had a direct negative effect on adherence to unhealthy diets.

Abstract Objectives: To contribute to a better understanding of the maternal genetic mechanisms that influence obstetric outcomes and that are involved in maternal and child health, this study aimed to evaluate the association between maternal genetic variants and the offspring birth weight by analyzing single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to glucose homeostasis. Methods: Three polymorphisms were analyzed (GCK rs1799884, TCF7L2 rs7903146 and LEPR rs1137101) in 250 pregnant women who participated in a Brazilian prospective cohort study. Genotyping was performed by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) using pre-designed TaqMan® SNP genotyping assays. Vitamin D dosage was performed by chemiluminescence. Variance, Pearson's chi-square test and multiple linear regression were used for the statistical analysis. Results: It was possible to verify a significant association between birth weight and maternal GCK rs1799884 when obstetric outcomes, clinical and anthropometric characteristics were taken into consideration. The children of homozygous women for the minor allele GCK rs1799884 presented lower birth weight (β = -335.25, 95% CI = -669.39; -1.17, p = 0.04). Furthermore, a direct link between a leptin receptor variant and gestational duration was found (p = 0.037). Conclusion: The variant GCK rs1799884 (mm) was associated with a reduction in newborn weight in the miscegenated Brazilian population.

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar os fatores socioeconômicos e de assistência nutricional de gestantes beneficiárias do Programa Bolsa Família que foram atendidas em serviço de pré-natal em município do Recôncavo da Bahia. Estudo transversal realizado com 250 gestantes do serviço de pré-natal em 16 Unidades de Saúde da Família, de agosto de 2013 a dezembro de 2014. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se questionário fechado envolvendo informações socioeconômicas, antropométricas e de saúde da gestante. Identificou-se que a média de idade das gestantes foi de 28,3 anos, das quais 85,2% estudaram até o ensino médio, 72,4% das gestantes afirmaram possuir renda menor ou igual a dois salários mínimos, com uma média de 1.036,3 reais, e 26,8% declararam receber o benefício. Observou-se que 40% encontravam-se com Índice de Massa Corporal pré-gestacional de excesso de peso, 38% apresentaram um ganho de peso adequado para Idade Gestacional; 90,57% realizaram mais de 7 consultas, e 75,6% relataram que fizeram uso de bebida alcoólica ou pararam na gestação. O Programa Bolsa Família, enquanto uma estratégia integrada de inclusão social e de desenvolvimento econômico, parece exercer efeito protetor na saúde nutricional das gestantes do município.

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the socioeconomic and nutritional assistance factors of pregnant women who are beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Program and were attended at a prenatal service in the city of Recôncavo da Bahia. A cohort study was conducted with 250 pregnant women from the prenatal service in 16 Family Health Units from August 2013 to December 2014. A structured and previously tested questionnaire was used to collect data. Socioeconomic and nutritional variables were used. It was identified that the average age was 28.3 years, of these, 85.2% studied until high school, 72.4% of pregnant women reported having income less than or equal to two minimum wages, with a mean of 1,036.3 and 26.8% reported receiving the benefit. It was observed that 40% had a pre-gestational Body Mass Index of overweight, 38% presented adequate weight gain for Gestational Age; 90.57% performed more than 7 consultations and 75.6% reported that they made use of alcoholic beverages or stopped in the gestation. The Bolsa Família Program as an integrated strategy for social inclusion and economic development seems to have a protective effect on the nutritional health of pregnant women in the municipality.

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar os fatores socioeconômicos e de assistência nutricional de gestantes beneficiárias do Programa Bolsa Família que foram atendidas em serviço de pré-natal em município do Recôncavo da Bahia. Estudo transversal realizado com 250 gestantes do serviço de pré-natal em 16 Unidades de Saúde da Família, de agosto de 2013 a dezembro de 2014. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se questionário fechado envolvendo informações socioeconômicas, antropométricas e de saúde da gestante.

Resumo Objetivou-se realizar uma revisão sistemática para identificar e avaliar a prevalência da prescrição de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados (MPI), segundo os Critérios de Beers, em idosos hospitalizados com ≥65 anos. Foram consultadas cinco bases de dados: BVS, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, MEDLINE e Web of Science. Foram identificados 19 artigos, selecionados a partir de critérios de elegibilidade. A média de idade foi 78,2 anos e o critério mais utilizado para a identificação dos MPI para idosos foi o de Beers 2015 (57,9%). Um total de 221.879 idosos recebeu prescrição inapropriada, a prevalência média foi de 65.0%, com destaque para o sistema gastrointestinal (15,3%) e os inibidores da bomba de prótons (27,7%) como a principal classe de medicamento prescrita. Conclui-se que os Critérios de Beers possibilitaram a identificação da alta prevalência na prescrição dos MPI. Os resultados desta revisão poderão auxiliar na tomada de decisão dos profissionais de saúde, no intuito de se evitar a administração dos MPI e propor melhores práticas que garantam a segurança do idoso hospitalizado.

Abstract The study aimed to perform a systematic review to identify and evaluate the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medicines (PIM) prescriptions for the elderly, according to Beers Criteria, in hospitalized elderly individuals aged 65 years or older. Five databases consulted: VHL; Cochrane Library; CINAHL; MEDLINE and Web of Science. Nineteen articles identified, selected based on eligibility criteria. The mean age was 78.2 years and the most used criterion for the identification of PIM for the elderly was Beers 2015 (57.9%). A total of 221,879 elderly received a prescription for PIM, the mean prevalence was 65.0%, for the gastrointestinal system (15.3%) and proton-pump inhibitors (27.7%) highlighted as the main class of medicine prescribed. It concluded that the Beers Criteria have made it possible to identify the high prevalence in the prescription of PIM. The results of this review may help in the decision making of health professionals, to avoid the administration of PIM and to propose best practices to ensure the safety of the elderly hospitalized.

Objective: To identify in the scientific literature the clinical overview of the pediatric population that tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and care recommendations and recommendations among children who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in the scientific literature.Method: Rapid review based on the guidelines of the Joana Briggs Institute: elaboration of the research question, structured search of the literature in April 2020, in nine databases, selection and critical analysis of the eighteen primary studies (using two instruments to assess methodological quality), elaboration of the synthesis, incorporation of suggestions and dissemination.Result: The most frequent clinical overview was respiratory, gastrointestinal symptoms and fever. The images showed irregular frosted glass opacification. It is recommended to screen the pediatric population and family members who show signs and symptoms and to adopt isolation for more than fourteen days.Conclusion: The clinical overview in pediatric population is varied, not exclusively with respiratory symptoms, and a significant number of asymptomatic patients. The importance of new investigations is highlighted, such as randomized clinical trial or cohort studies, identifying their participation in the transmission of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Physician and patient-related characteristics can influence prescription of medications to older patients within primary healthcare. Use of Brazilian criteria may indicate the real prevalence of prescription of potentially inappropriate medications to this population. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate prescription of potentially inappropriate medications to older patients within primary care and identify patient-related and prescribing physician-related factors. DESIGN AND SETTING: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 22 public primary care facilities in Brazil, among older people (≥ 60 years) who were waiting for medical consultations. METHODS: Interviews were conducted before and after the medical consultations. If the patient received a medical prescription at the consultation, all the drugs prescribed and the physician's medical council registration number were recorded. Prevalence ratios were estimated to ascertain the magnitude of prescription of potentially inappropriate medications, along with patient and physician-related factors associated with such prescription. RESULTS: In total, 417 older patients were included; 45.3% had received ≥ 1 potentially inappropriate medication, and 86.8% out of 53 physicians involved had prescribed ≥ 1 potentially inappropriate medication. The strongest patient-related factor associated with higher prevalence of prescription of potentially inappropriate medications was polypharmacy. Among physician-related factors, the number of patients attended, number of prescriptions and length of medical practice < 10 years were positively associated with prescription of potentially inappropriate medications. CONCLUSIONS: High prevalence of prescription of potentially inappropriate medications was observed. Physician-related characteristics can influence prescription of medications to older people within primary healthcare. This suggests that there is a need for interventions among all physicians, especially younger physicians.
