Area of Science:

  • Perinatology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Context:

  • Perinatal mortality remains a significant challenge despite advances in perinatology.
  • High-risk pregnancy units are crucial for managing complex pregnancies.
  • Established in 1976, this unit focuses on pregnancies requiring fetal respiratory and metabolic evaluation.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a specialized high-risk pregnancy unit.
  • To assess the impact of targeted monitoring and treatment protocols on fetal outcomes.

Summary:

  • Over 12 years, the unit managed high-risk pregnancies with a 33% cesarean section rate.
  • Achieved no maternal mortality.
  • Reported an intrauterine fetal death rate of 10.3 per 1,000 and a corrected perinatal mortality of 3.4 per 1,000.
