Resumen
SERAPINAS, Danielius y BARTKEVICIENE, Daiva. Child's respiratory and sleep health following mid-trimester amniocentesis. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2019, vol.117, n.6, pp.401-404. Epub 01-Dic-2019. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2019.401.
Objective
The aim was to investigate the rates of respiratory and sleep disturbances in infants whose mothers experiencedamniocentesis.
Material and methods
Infants whose mothers have undergone midterm amniocentesis (between 16 and 20 weeks) and noinvasive procedure (controls) were enrolled.
Results
The study analyzed 50 infants whose mothers have undergone amniocentesis (amniocentesis group) and 47controls. Amniocentesis group had higher incidence of sleepdisturbances: 30 cases (60 %), compared with 11 controls (23.4 %)(P = 0.001). In the amniocentesis group there were 7 children (14 %) with asthma, while in the control group, asthma wasconfirmed in 1 child (2.1 %) (P = 0.032).
Conclusion
Our data triggers the hypothesis that associations between midterm amniocentesis, child's asthma and sleepdisturbances may exist. These preliminary results reveal theimportance of further studies and the need for the analysis oflong term effects of invasive testing.
