Impact of sociodemographic attributes on high-risk pregnancy
Journal Title: Cumhuriyet Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 39, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: Identifying the association between sociodemographic data and laboratory parameters, and the complications occurring during the pregnancy monitoring. Method: This study reviewed 127 high-risk pregnant women (HRP) and other 99 pregnant women in control group. The sociodemographic data and laboratory results of pregnant women with HRP diagnosis and the pregnant women in control group were compared. Results: Comparing the sociodemographic data and laboratory parameters of pregnant women with HRP diagnosis and the pregnant women in control group, it was found that period of marriage, aPTT, AST, ALT, Chlorine and BUN levels were significantly higher in HRP group(p<0.05). After classifying the pregnant women diagnosed with HRP among themselves, no difference was found in terms of sociodemographic data(p>0.05), whereas the BUN, creatinine, AST, ALT and potassium values in hypertension group induced by pregnancy were higher on statistically significant level compared to the control group(p<0.05). On the other hand, calcium values, PT and INR were significantly lower (p<0.05). In macrosomia patients, PT and INR were significantly higher (p<0.05). In preterm labor group, white blood cell and neutrophil counts were higher on statistically significant level (p<0.05). High level of chlorine in the pregnant women diagnosed with amniotic fluid disorders, preterm labor and macrosomia was statistically significant compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: The challenge remains to estimate beforehand the high-risk conditions occurring during pregnancy monitoring despite finding differences in sociodemographic and laboratory data.
