Abstract
LINAYO-CHOUZA, Javier et al. Long-term morbidity and mortality in women with a history of premature placental abruption normoinserta. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2019, vol.87, n.3, pp.167-176. Epub Apr 30, 2021. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v87i3.2656.
OBJECTIVE:
To analyze if women with a history of premature placental abruption have a long-term increase in morbidity and mortality.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Case-control study with retrospective data collection of pregnant women from the Hospital University Complex of Ourense between 1996 and 2008. The criteria for inclusion in the case group were the history of placental abruption. The control group was constituted by the women with previous and subsequent delivery to the case group and who had not presented placental abruption. The clinical histories were analyzed with data collection of the index pregnancy and a long-term follow-up was carried out to detect the subsequent diagnosis of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, as well as neoplastic and psychiatric pathology. The statistical study was carried out using the SPSS15.0 computer program. Values of p < 0,05 were considered significant results.
RESULTS:
A total of 198 women were studied, of which 66 belong to the case group and 132 to the control group. In the follow-up period (15,8±3,58 years) the incidence of diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia was higher in the case group, but without statistical significance. No differences were found in the incidence of hypertension, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease or anxiety-depressive illness. In the case group, a high rate of oncological pathology was found.
CONCLUSIONS:
We found no relationship between the history of placental abruption and cardiovascular disease. We lack an explanation that justifies the high rate of tumor pathology in this group of women.
