ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION
Placental Abruption (PA) is one of the leading causes in perinatal morbidity and mortality. It occurs in 1:120 deliveries, makes 15% of perinatal mortality.
OBJECTIVE
Aim was to analyze neonatal outcome in deliveries with PA.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Test group-49 neonates born in 2 year period with PA. Results were classified by gender, gestation, body mass, Apgar score and pH. Neonatal
mortality/morbidity was analyzed. Control-154 neonates, born during the same period without PA. Results were statistically tested.
CLINICAL CASES OR SUMMARY RESULTS
Test-significantly more preterm neonates (18,7%:10,4%).Apgar score 7 and lower, test-(20.86%), control-(9.7%).Acidosis during first hour maintained in
test-(35.41%), control-(11.68%). Morbidity analyze gives a high degree of perinatal asphyxia, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intracranial bleeding and
anemia in test group. As a main reason for morbidity/mortality lower gestation and lower body mass were recognized in test group.
CONCLUSIONS
In our analysis 85.4% of neonates in test group were released as recovered or healthy. Although a small sample, it could be said that on time diagnosis,
adequate way of delivery and neonatal care afterward, makes that the outcome of these deliveries could be satisfied.
