Abstract:   (4288 Views)
From July 1998 to November 1999 we have followed up 15712 deliveries (12044 vaginal and 3668 cesarean section) in our hospital. Among these, 182 cases were primarily diagnosed as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and 248 pregnancies were complicated with hypertensive disorders. In these two groups we have investigated the outcome of the neonates. Neonatal weight under the 10th percentile in these two groups was 1.63% and 36.3% and perinatal mortality was 4.4% and 6.1 % respectively (p<0.05), due to the much higher incidence of IUGR and greater perinatal mortality in hypertensive pregnant women as compared with the general obstetric population. We conclude that it is valuable to manage close observation in all cases of pregnancy induced or aggravated hypertension.
