    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Obstetric hepatosis increases fetal risks, with 38% of pregnancies showing fetal distress. Monitoring methods like amnioscopy and oxytocin challenge tests are valuable, but oestriol levels showed limited predictive value.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynaecology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Obstetric hepatosis, a condition affecting pregnant women, presents unique challenges to fetal well-being.
    • The incidence of obstetric hepatosis was observed at 1.1% of all deliveries during the study period.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess fetal risks and outcomes in pregnancies complicated by obstetric hepatosis.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of various monitoring methods for fetal well-being in these high-risk pregnancies.

    Main Methods:

    • Monitoring fetal well-being using amnioscopy, oxytocin challenge tests, maternal urinary oestriol levels, and fetal biparietal diameter estimations.
    • Comparison of labor induction and Cesarean section rates with a control group.
    • Analysis of intrauterine and perinatal losses.

    Main Results:

    • 38% of pregnancies with obstetric hepatosis exhibited signs of fetal distress, including abnormal heart rate patterns and meconium-stained amniotic fluid.
    • Increased rates of labor induction and Cesarean sections due to fetal distress were noted.
    • A higher incidence of twin pregnancies (7.6%) and a rate of 8 perinatal losses (including 4 intrauterine) were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Pregnancies with obstetric hepatosis carry increased risks for the fetus.
    • Amnioscopy, fetal heart rate monitoring, and oxytocin challenge tests are valuable for assessing fetal condition.
    • Maternal urinary oestriol determination showed limited predictive value for fetal distress in this context.
