Pregnancy outcome in threatened abortion.

Introduction- Patients experiencing threatened abortion are at risk of bad pregnancy outcomes due to the potential for difficulties during pregnancy and birth. The present study was done to assess the threatened abortions among women and to evaluate their pregnancy outcome. Material and methods- The present cross sectional study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at SMGS Hospital among 100 women with the symptoms suggestive of threatened abortion in first trimester of pregnancy during the study period of one year. Maternal and fetal outcomes were measured. The statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 25.0 for Windows. Results – Mean parity was 2.1 in study group and 2.2 in control group. Mean gestational age at the time of presentation in weeks was 13.2 in study group and 13.3 in control group. Mean of previous abortions was 0.67 in study group and 0.66 in control group. Average duration of bleeding in days was 4.7 in study groups whereas no sign of bleeding was found in any case of control group. Results were non significant with p value>0.05. Significant results (p<0.05) were obtained with respect to abortion rate, preterm birth and mean birth weight of infant. Conclusion –Threatened abortion is linked to a higher occurrence of negative pregnancy outcomes. The risk is particularly heightened in cases of premature rupture of the membranes, preterm delivery, and low neonatal birth weight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
