Abstract
Aims: To assess the incidence of urinary stones, the effects of adverse birth conditions and patterns in treatment in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Materials and Methods: In order to determine the link between urinary stones and pregnancy and breastfeeding, we evaluated nationally representative data from the 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Review Study. Based on age, body mass index, obesity, area of residence, gout, diabetes, hormone use, high sodium diet and water consumption, each pregnancy with a stone was contrasted with up to 9 pregnancies and breastfeeding without a stone. Adverse birth outcomes, described as preterm birth, low birth weight, and child mortality, were the primary outcome. Secondary findings included premature membrane breakup (PROM) and the type/frequency of intervention in pregnancy for stones. Results: 7.1% (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 6.2% -8.1%) was the weighted national incidence of pregnancy and breastfeeding by women ≤62. In women who were pregnant, the incidence of urolithiasis was slightly higher relative to those who had never been pregnant (8.1% vs 4.5%, p = 0.01). Multivariable logistic regression correction for age, obesity, body mass index, area of residency, gout, diabetes, water consumption, elevated sodium diet, and hormone utilization (OR 3.25, 95% CI 2.45-4.56) tended to increase the threat of urolithiasis among those with pregnancy history. Compared to matched pregnancies with stones and the pregnancies without stones, have an elevated chance for adverse birth effects (OR 2.56, 95% CI 2.10-2.32, p<0.01). Finally, with an increasing number of births, the modified incidence of urolithiasis rose dramatically, from 6.1% in those with 0 recorded pregnancies to 13.2% in those with 4 or more pregnancies (p=0.01). Thirty-five percentages of stone-admitted pregnant patients had an intervention, most usually a ureteroscopy. Conclusion: An increased probability of adverse birth results of urinary stone pregnancies was seen in the present research. These findings would be essential for the therapy of urinary stone pregnant patients and women of reproductive age who are at effects of stone growth. Future investigation and detection of pregnant patients about adjustable effects factors may permit for a drop in the burden of stone disease in female.
