Open-access RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLINICAL, PLACENTARY, OBSTETRIC AND NEONATAL ASPECTS AND INTRAUTERINE GROWTH IN HIGH RISK PREGNANCIES

RELACIÓN ENTRE LOS ASPECTOS CLÍNICOS PLACENTARIOS, OBSTÉTRICOS Y NEONATALES Y EL CRECIMIENTO INTRAUTERINO EN LA GESTACIÓN DE ALTO RIESGO

ABSTRACT

Objective:  to analyze clinical, placental and obstetric aspects of women with and without high-risk pregnancy, and their relationship with intrauterine growth deviations and neonatal aspects.

Method:  this is a cross-sectional descriptive study. Data collection was based on an analysis of the medical records of women with and without high-risk pregnancy and newborns, and anatomopathological characterization of the placenta.

Results:  265 placentas were analyzed, 130 (49.06%) women with high-risk pregnancy and newborns with intrauterine growth deviations. A higher occurrence of placental changes was found in high-risk pregnancy and uterine growth deviations in comparison to cases without high-risk pregnancy (p≤0.001). High-risk pregnancies with intrauterine growth deviations were associated with placental changes (p≤0.001). Intrauterine growth deviations was related to birth weight in cases of high-risk pregnancy compared to normal gestation (p=0.014).

Conclusion:  a higher occurrence of placental anatomopathological changes was found in maternal and fetal surfaces in cases of high-risk pregnancy and intrauterine growth deviations.

DESCRIPTORS: Fetal growth retardation; High risk pregnancy; Neonatology; Placenta; Newborn.
