HEALTH STATUS OF PREGNANT WOMEN
Abstract:
The article covers the study into the structure of extragenital pathology in pregnantwomen based on the data obtained at the antenatal clinic of the perinatal center of the State Organization of the Ministry of Health of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) National Center of Medicine - Republican Hospital No. 1 in 2013. The presence of extragenital pathology in pregnant women is a major factor in the high risk of maternal mortality. The majority of women (90%) have two or more extragenital pathologies simultaneously. In the structure of extragenital pathology in pregnant women the first most prevalent diseases are urinary system diseases, 2nd most prevalent--diseases of the cardiovascular system, 3rd most prevalent--diseases of the hematopoietic system. Diseases of the circulatory system are the leading indications for termination of pregnancy. It is necessary to increase the efficiency of cooperation between gynecologists, internists and specialists to identify women at high risk of perinatal pathology, to form prognosis in terms of carrying of pregnancy and timely decision on its prolongation and perinatal care.
