The Association Between Hospital Obstetrical Volume And Maternal Postpartum Complications, Kathy Kyser, Xin Lu, Donna Santillan, Mark Santillan, Stephen Hunter, Alison Cahill, Peter Cram

Stephen K. Hunter

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between delivery volume and maternal complications. STUDY DESIGN: We used administrative data to identify women who had been admitted for childbirth in 2006. Hospitals were stratified into deciles that were based on delivery volume. We compared composite complication rates across deciles. RESULTS: We evaluated 1,683,754 childbirths in 1045 hospitals. Decile 1 and 2 hospitals had significantly higher rates of composite complications than decile 10 (11.8% and 10.1% vs 8.5%, respectively; P < .0001). Decile 9 and 10 hospitals had modestly higher composite complications as compared with decile 6 (8.8% and …

Negotiating With Cultural Sensitivity To Reduce Medical Errors: An Ethnographic Study (Poster), Luanne Linnard-Palmer

Luanne Linnard-Palmer

By 2042, racial and ethnic minorities will account for 50% of America’s population (Mather & Pollard, 2009). About 10% of the countries counties have crossed the 50% mark or reached the “tipping point”, thus having a “majority-minority” status (Mather & Pollard, 2009). The demographic change continues to have a considerable impact on the healthcare sector, which is currently characterized by culturally diverse patients as well as healthcare practitioners (Hearnden, 2008). It is now critical to have an understanding of the cultural background and elements of communication to avoid medical and medication errors and attain successful treatment negotiations. Culture and religion …

Single Umbilical Artery: Does Side Matter?, Mark Santillan, Donna Santillan, D. Fleener, B. Stegmann, G. Zamba, Stephen Hunter, J. Yankowitz

Stephen K. Hunter

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine if laterality of an absent umbilical artery (AUA) is associated with specific sonographic findings, chromosomal defects or postpartum birth defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, ultrasound reports and medical records of patients who received an obstetric ultrasound at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics with an identified laterality of the AUA from 1989 to 2007 (n = 405) were reviewed. Rates of sonographic abnormalities between fetuses with a right versus left AUA were compared using Fisher's exact test. Adjustments for confounding were made using logistic regression modeling. …

Cell Encapsulation As A Potential Nondietary Therapy For Maternal Phenylketonuria, Donna Santillan, Mark Santillan, Stephen Hunter

Stephen K. Hunter

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this work was to determine whether cells overexpressing phenylalanine (Phe) hydroxylase (PAH) can significantly reduce Phe in vitro for potential use as a therapy for preventing maternal phenylketonuria. STUDY DESIGN: Human 293T and WRL68 cell lines were transiently and stably transfected to overexpress PAH. Cells were encapsulated within microspheres of sodium alginate. Timed measurements of Phe in media were performed using tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Both nonencapsulated and encapsulated transiently transfected cells overexpressing PAH significantly reduced the Phe concentration in media by approximately 50% in comparison to mock-transfected cells. Cell line clones stably expressing PAH significantly …
