Abstract

Neither the frequency nor the clinical pattern of abruptio placentae have changed significantly in the past years. In a retrospective study (1979-1988) we found a frequency of 0.55%, that means one abruptio placentae in every 182 births. Important and significant factors which could be correlated with the abruptio placentae were: premature labour, vaginal bleeding and gestosis. The case histories show a high rate of abortions and interruptions (24.3%) of pregnancy, as well as premature rupture of membranes (15.4%) and multiple pregnancies. Ultrasound furnished valuable diagnostic criteria in only 7.7% of the cases. A high rate of breech presentation (1/5 of all cases) is seen in combination with premature birth (37% less than or equal to 33 weeks of gestation). Half of the patients showed disturbances of coagulation. The high rate of perinatal mortality (12%) is related to the prematurity on the one hand and too late diagnosis of abruptio placentae.

Comparison of neonatal outcome including cerebral palsy between abruptio placentae and placenta previa.

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate the neonatal prognosis after abruptio placentae and placenta previa during pre-term gestation. STUDY DESIGN: A case-control study was performed using a logistic regression model. A poor outcome was defined as neonatal death occurring before hospital discharge or a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. RESULTS: A poor outcome was more frequent in cases of abruptio placentae (11/42, 26.2%) than in placenta previa (2/72, 2.8%) and pre-term labor (1/120, 0.8%). The difference was mainly due to the incidence of cerebral palsy. A significant association of abruptio placentae (odds ratio (OR) 61.0, 95% confidence interval (CI 3.4-1084), delivery at <31 weeks of gestation (OR 19.0, CI 2.8-128.8), and low Apgar score (<7) at 5min (OR 70.8, CI 16.5-304.9) with increased risk of poor outcome was found in the logistic regression model that controlled for confounding effects. In abruptio placentae, a low Apgar score (<7) at 5min (OR 19.8, CI 2.0-197.8) was associated with increased risk of poor outcome in the logistic regression model. CONCLUSION: From the standpoint of poor perinatal outcome including cerebral palsy, abruptio placentae was the most significant clinical entity in pre-term gestation.

Interventions for treating placental abruption.

BACKGROUND: Placental abruption is an important cause of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness and safety of any intervention for the care of women and/or their babies following a diagnosis of placental abruption. SEARCH STRATEGY: Comprehensive electronic search of the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth trials register. Date of last search: October 2002. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised and 'quasi-randomised' trials that report clinically meaningful outcomes and present results on an intention to treat basis. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: If eligible trials were to be identified, data will be extracted, unblinded, by the reviewer from all studies. MAIN RESULTS: No studies that met the inclusion criteria were identified. REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS: The clinical management of placental abruption has to rely on knowledge other than that obtained through randomised clinical trials.

Initial presentation of Crohn's disease in pregnancy: report of a case.

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the current morbidity and mortality of Crohn's disease presenting for the first time in pregnancy. METHODS: A review of the English-language literature was performed to collect all reported cases of Crohn's disease presenting in pregnancy. RESULTS: This review demonstrates a maternal mortality of 4 percent and morbidity of 40 percent and a fetal mortality of 38 percent, with 24 percent normal outcome of pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows improved maternal and fetal outcome compared with earlier data.
