    A comparison of maternal outcomes in complicated vaginal and cesarean deliveries
    (7847050 Canada Inc, 2017) Agacayak, E.; Basaranoglu, S.; Tune, S. Y.; Icen, M. S.; Findik, F. M.; Sak, S.; Gul, T.
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare general characteristics, laboratory data, and maternal outcomes of patients who experienced complications in the first 24 hours after a normal vaginal delivery or cesarean section (C-section). This way, the authors intended to determine the results of complications in these patients. Materials and Methods: Data of patients referred from the peripheral care centers to the present tertiary care center in the first 24 hours after a vaginal delivery or C-section due to the presence of various complications were screened retrospectively from 2009 to 2013. Clinical and demographic characteristics, laboratory parameters, indications for C-section, mortality rates, maternal morbidities, surgical and medical treatments administered in the clinic, as well as operations performed in other care centers were noted. Results: A total of 330 patients were included in this study. Of these patients, 285 constituted the postoperative group (C-sections) whereas 45 constituted the postpartum (vaginal deliveries) group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in demographic characteristics, results of laboratory parameters, maternal morbidity, and mortality rates. Requirement of hysterectomy and relaparotomy was significantly higher in the postoperative group. Conclusions: In the early follow-up, it was found that complicated C-sections and vaginal deliveries had similar results. However, it should also be mentioned that higher requirement of hysterectomy and relaparotomy emerged as an undesirable condition among the postoperative patients in this study. With this in mind, mode of delivery should be selected according to the overall health status of the patient and indications for C-section.

    Significance of growth differentiation factor 15 in primary ovarian insufficiency: inflammatory, biochemical, and hormonal correlates
    (I R O G Canada, Inc, 2017) Tunc, S. Y.; Goruk, N. Y.; Agacayak, E.; Icen, M. S.; Findik, F. M.; Kusen, H.; Evsen, M. S.
    Purpose: To investigate the levels of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) in primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and to evaluate its correlation with hormonal, biochemical, and inflammatory indicators. Materials and Methods: This comparative, cross-sectional study was carried out in 60 cases consisting of 30 healthy controls (mean age: 29.2 +/- 5.0 years) and 30 patients with POI (mean age: 28.9 +/- 6.8 years). Two groups were compared in terms of serum levels of glucose, lipids, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), prolactin (PRL), GDF-15, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratios (NLR). Correlation between GDF-15 and NLR with these variables was sought. Results: Serum levels of FSH (p < 0.001), LH (p < 0.001), NLR (p < 0.001) and TSH (p = 0.020) were increased significantly in POI group. In POI patients, a correlation was detected between levels of GDF-15 levels and PRL (p = 0.049). Conclusion: The authors suggest that NLR can serve as a promising marker for diagnosis and follow-up of POI, whereas GDF-15 seems not to have such a potential.
