据Jason Gale报道，一项针对产科卫生工作者的多国调查提供了气候变暖健康后果的前线视角，显示极端高温正日益威胁孕妇和婴儿。
Extreme heat is increasingly threatening pregnant women and babies, according to a multi-country survey of maternity health workers that offers a frontline view of the health consequences of a warming climate.
在印度、澳大利亚、巴西、英国和津巴布韦接受调查的1000名卫生专业人员中，近四分之三表示在过去五年中，他们见到的与高温相关的影响孕妇的病例或并发症有所增加。约76%的人报告称影响胎儿或新生儿的病例有所增加。
Almost three-quarters of 1,000 health professionals surveyed across India, Australia, Brazil, the UK and Zimbabwe said they had seen an increase in heat-related cases or complications affecting pregnant women over the past five years. Some 76% reported an increase affecting fetuses or newborns.
这些发现发布之际，各国政府正聚集进行气候谈判，为下个月在土耳其安塔利亚举行的第31届联合国气候变化大会做准备，同时也有越来越多的证据将孕期高温暴露与早产、死胎、低出生体重以及母亲并发症联系起来。
The findings come as governments gather for climate talks ahead of next month’s 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference in Antalya, Turkey, and amid mounting evidence linking heat exposure during pregnancy with premature birth, stillbirth, low birth weight and complications for mothers.
该调查由伦敦的健康研究基金会Wellcome委托，由Censuswide于9月17日至10月1日在线进行。五个国家各有200名产科卫生专业人员参与。
The survey was commissioned by Wellcome, the London-based health research foundation, and conducted online by Censuswide from Sept. 17 to Oct. 1. It included 200 maternal health professionals in each of the five countries.
98%的受访者表示曾照顾过他们认为健康受极端高温损害的孕妇，99%表示曾照顾过类似情况的婴儿。
Some 98% of respondents said they had cared for a pregnant woman whose health they believed had been harmed by extreme heat, while 99% said the same of a baby.
约23%的人见过他们认为与高温暴露有关、需要额外监测或治疗的妊娠并发症。高温也让一些女性更难获得医疗服务。
About 23% had seen pregnancy complications requiring additional monitoring or treatment that they believed were linked to heat exposure. Heat is also making it harder for some women to get care.
约27%的卫生工作者表示极端温度使得获得医疗服务更加困难，29%报告称紧急或急诊就诊有所增加。
About 27% of health workers said extreme temperatures were making access to health services more difficult, while 29% reported an increase in urgent or emergency presentations.
超过十分之九的受访者表示希望获得更多培训和资源，以在极端高温期间保护孕妇。
More than nine in 10 respondents said they wanted more training and resources to protect pregnant women during extreme heat.
Wellcome呼吁世界卫生组织制定关于高温与妊娠的临床指南，并呼吁各国政府改善对气温升高对母婴健康影响的监测。
Wellcome is calling for the World Health Organization to develop clinical guidance on heat and pregnancy and for governments to improve surveillance of the effects of rising temperatures on maternal and newborn health.
