| Abstract |
The management of hydatid disease (HD) co-occurring with pregnancy remains a challenge for physicians. We aimed to determine factors that were related to fetal and maternal outcomes in HD complicated pregnancies and then develop an approach/treatment algorithm. All patients at the participating hospitals were first analyzed to determine whether they had HD. Only patients diagnosed with HD during the course of their pregnancy were included. Certain cyst-related factors (diameter, localization, increase in size, and viability) and certain pregnancy-related factors (treatments, gestational week, maternal co-morbidities, and delivery type) were investigated. Nonlinear principal component analysis (NPCA) was performed to determine the relationships between the categories of variables. Out of 12,926 pregnancies, 27 cases were diagnosed with HD. In 13 cases, each developed at least one fetal problem. Using Albendazol in first trimester, presence of an active cyst, increased diameter by more than 1 cm during pregnancy and a cyst diagnosed in the second trimester were associated with at least one fetal problem. According to the NPCA results, cyst diameter when first diagnosed was related to fetal outcomes; a cyst greater than 10 cm was associated with "at least one fetal problem". Cysts 5-10 cm in diameter were in a neutral position, while 2-5 cm in diameter were in the "no problems" group. HD mostly affects fetus. If cyst-related and pregnancy-related variables are optimal, close follow-up on a monthly is the best course of action. However, in high-risk conditions, percutaneous interventions or surgery should be considered. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 June 2023.
All research outputs
#14,420,391
of 25,639,676 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics
#1,154
of 2,324 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#165,818
of 344,813 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics
#10
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,639,676 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,324 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,813 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
