Obstetric Outcomes in Women with Threatened Abortion

Abstract

Background: Approximately half of all cases of threatened miscarriage result in a complete miscarriage and pregnancy loss. If the pregnancy keeps going, suboptimal outcomes, such as preterm birth and preeclampsia, have become more common. Aim of the work: to assess the impact of threatened miscarriage on the growth of the fetus and premature membrane rupture, as well as the impact of threatened abortion on other adverse pregnancy outcomes such as abortion, preterm labor, preeclampsia, placenta previa, IUGR, and caesarean. Patients and methods: A prospective case study has been performed on 152 pregnant women at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Al-Hussein Hospitals, Al-Azhar University, who were divided into two groups: (Group I): 76 women who presented with symptoms of threatened abortion at or below 20 weeks of pregnancy; (Group II): 76 women who did not present with any symptoms of threatened abortion, from october 2020 to october2021. Results: Preterm labor, neonatal mortality, low birth weight, and NICU admission differ significantly between the groups. Conclusion: A threatened abortion is linked to a higher risk of a bad pregnancy result. Premature membrane rupture, preterm birth, and neonatal birth weight are all associated with an increased risk. Women who are about to have a miscarriage must be informed about the negative maternal and neonatal consequences of their situation and given explicit advice on how to maintain a healthy.
