Placental abruption is a significant cause of both maternal morbidity and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Most abruptions accept to be related to a chronic placental disease process. Therefore, it is very important to understand these processes. To analyze maternal and neonatal effects of placental abruption(PA) through a novel classification in the presence of hypertension. Initial hemoglobin parameters were also compared to predict pregnancy outcomes in addition to hypertension.
Objective: We aimed to classify placental abruption according to hypertension status. Methods: This retrospective cohort designed study was conducted on 115 pregnant women with placental abruption. The main parameters scanned and recorded from the hospital database and patient medical files. Two groups were classified regarding of presence or absence of hypertension (53 hypertensive, 62 normotensive). Maternal demographical and clinical characteristics (abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding) were recorded. APGAR scores below 5 at 1 and 5 min., fetal or neonatal death, admission and length of stay in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU) were also investigated and compared between the groups.
