Maternal asthma increases risks for preterm and postterm births, low birth weight, and infant death. This study highlights potential pregnancy complications for asthmatic women.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • Asthma is a common chronic respiratory condition affecting women of reproductive age.
  • Pregnancy can influence asthma control and severity, and vice versa.
  • Understanding delivery outcomes in asthmatic pregnancies is crucial for optimizing maternal and infant care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between maternal asthma and various delivery outcomes.
  • To identify specific risks and complications in pregnancies complicated by asthma.
  • To provide data for improved management strategies for pregnant women with asthma.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Swedish health registers, including midwife interviews and linkage between medical birth and hospital discharge registers.

  • Identified women with asthma who had deliveries between 1984 and 1995.
  • Analyzed data for outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, postterm pregnancy, infant death, congenital malformations, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and infant hypoglycemia.

    • Main Results:

    • Maternal asthma was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth and low birth weight, potentially related to disease severity.
    • A significant increase in pregnancies exceeding 41 weeks (postterm) was observed.
    • Confirmed associations with preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and infant hypoglycemia, alongside an increased infant death rate.

    Conclusions:

    • Maternal asthma is a significant risk factor for adverse delivery outcomes, including preterm and postterm births.
    • Asthma in pregnancy is linked to an elevated risk of specific complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and infant hypoglycemia.
    • These findings underscore the importance of careful monitoring and management of asthma during pregnancy to mitigate risks.
