    Increased cesarean-section birth rates and affecting related factors
    (2021) Deniz, Alparslan
    Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the opinions of physicians on increased C-section delivery rates and their coping ways working at different institutions. Method: This descriptive, cross-sectional study included a total of 200 obstetricians and gynecologists with an experience of at least 20 years chosen through simple random sampling among registered in the Republic of Turkey, Ministry of Health da-tabase. In the questionnaire, their opinions about test exams and their opinions about solutions to decrease C-section rates were investigated. Results: The majority of the participants (89.0%) responded “Strongly Agree” to the following item: “Factors other than medical causes may affect the decision for C-sec-tion”. Similarly, the majority of the physicians responded “Strongly Agree” to the item on the increase in C-section rates along with malpractices and social pressure put by the patient and her relatives(89.0% and 89.5%, respectively). For the majority of the participants (84.0% and 85.0%, respectively), the main suggestions to overcome the increased C-section delivery rates was to lower; social pressure put against the physicians by the patient and her relatives, and removal of malpractice penalties re-latedfor possible adverse outcomes during normal delivery. In this study, the majority of the physicians responded “Strongly Disagree” to the items related to the imposing penalties and granting bonuses (56.0% and 56.5%, respectively). Similarly, 81.0% of the physicians responded “Strongly Disagree” to the item stating that healthcare planners correctly interfere with the main cause of increased C-section rates. Conclusions: The most important reasons for the high cesarean rates are seen as the fear of malpractice and social pressure of physicians working in both public and private sectors

    Serial measurement of soluble endoglin for risk assessment at the diagnosis of fetal growth restriction
    (2021) Erol Deniz, Merve; Deniz, Alparslan; Mendilcioğlu, İnanç; Sanhal, Cem Yaşar; Özdem, Sebahat; Küçükçetin, İkbal Özen; Kandemir, Hülya
    Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the soluble endoglin (sEng) levels in pregnant women with fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to examine the possible relation of the sEng levels with the time remaining to delivery and maternal and fetal complications. Methods: A total of 42 pregnant women diagnosed with FGR were retrospectively reviewed. Using the maternal blood samples it is at the collected 24-37 gestational weeks, the sEng levels were measured. Fetal biometry measurements, umbilical artery, uterine artery, middle cerebral artery Doppler indices were documented. Results: Of all patients, 17 (40%) were diagnosed with early-onset FGR, while 25 (60%) were diagnosed with late-onset FGR. Abnormal Doppler findings were present in 25 (60%) patients. Of 42 newborns, 18 (42%) were hospitalised in the neonatal unit. The mean sEng level calculated by taking the average of the first and second blood samples was 63.24 ± 49.83 ng/mL. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean sEng levels between those who gave birth within four, three, and two weeks after the diagnosis of FGR and those who did not. There was a positive significant correlation between the mean sEng levels and systolic blood pressure (r = 0.319, P =.04). Conclusions: We did not find a statistically significant relationship between the sEng level and the time remaining to the time of delivery in pregnant women with FGR. We found no statistically significant difference in sEng level between the groups in pregnant women with fetuses with FGR with or without maternal and fetal complications.

    The impact of obesity on fertility and sexual function in women of child bearing age
    (2022) Deniz, Alparslan; Okuyucu, Muhammed
    Obesity and infertility are health problems that are increasing in frequency. In this study, sexual dysfunction in obese infertile women was investigated. A total of 450 women who met the inclusion criteria were recruited for the study; 150 women who had obesity without infertility, 150 women who had obesity with infertility and 150 women with normal weight but without infertility, which was the control group. The mean age of the groups were 31.3 +/- 3.9, 31.2 +/- 3.8 and 31.1 +/- 4.5, respectively. The participants were administered a sociodemographic data form, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Beck Depression Inventory following the measurement of body mass index (BMI). FSFI score below 26.55 was defined as sexual dysfunction. Our data were analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 21.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). FSFI scores were observed to be statistically significantly lower in the group of obese women with infertility than in the other two groups. In our study, sexual dysfunction was found to be statistically significantly higher in obese women with infertility compared to the control group. Therefore, healthcare professionals should evaluate infertility in obese women in terms of sexual dysfunction as well as infertility treatment.
