Successful obstetric outcome after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation.

A 34-year-old woman became pregnant two years after having a simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplantation, necessitated by type 1 diabetes and end-stage renal disease. The pregnancy was uneventful until 30 weeks' gestation, when she developed pancreatitis and a worsening of mild hypertension. A healthy 1700 g boy was delivered by caesarean section at 34 weeks' gestation. This is the first report of a successful pregnancy after SPK transplantation in Australia.

The earliest gestation at which there was a survivor was 23 weeks. Survival rates from 23-23+6 weeks to 27-27+6 weeks, excluding congenital abnormalities, were 8.3% to 77.5% respectively. Overall 21.9% of deaths occurred in the delivery suite, 63.4% in the neonatal period, 3.7% in the postneonatal period in hospital and a further 11% after discharge from hospital.

The short-term outcome of infants of multiple pregnancies delivered before 28 weeks' gestation.

The short-term outcomes of 29 multiple pregnancies delivered at Westmead Hospital between 20 and 28 weeks' gestation, during a 5-year period are reported. The earliest gestation at which there was a survivor was 24 weeks. The overall survival rate was 25%. Of deaths, 11.1% occurred in the delivery suite, 85.2% in the neonatal period with a further 3.7% in the postneonatal period in hospital. The outcomes for second twins were generally poor. Of survivors at 12 months, 44% were judged to have a major impairment. Extremely preterm multiple pregnancies have a high mortality and morbidity rate.
