Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: 15% of Pregnancies are complicated by Threatened miscarriage. It is shown to be associated with an increased risk of poor obstetric outcomes such as preterm labour, Low birth weight and premature rupture of Membranes. Aim: To assess the Pregnancy outcome in women with Threatened miscarriage in First Trimester and to compare the pregnancy outcome in women with or without threatened first trimester bleed out of the hospital attendance and domiciliary management. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, cases of threatened miscarriage were examined from the first trimester and followed up prospectively until the end of pregnancy. The sample size was 400, 200 pregnant women in the threatened miscarriage group and 200 controls and adverse pregnancy outcomes among the two groups were then compared. Results: Threatened abortion is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy-related complications namely placental abruption, preterm labour, Low Birthweight babies, Premature Rupture of Membranes. Conclusion: It is evident that the majority of women with first trimester bleeding have pregnancy outcomes comparable to those without such bleeding, but they face a higher relative risk of some adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes.
