P Kirkinen, P Jouppila

    Annales Chirurgiae Et Gynaecologiae
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Polyhydramnion, a condition affecting pregnancies, occurred in 0.4% of cases and was linked to complications. Early diagnosis and ultrasonic examination are crucial for improved antenatal care and delivery planning.

    Area of Science:

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

    Background:

    • Polyhydramnion complicates pregnancies, necessitating careful management.
    • The condition's incidence and associated risks require thorough investigation.
    • Historical data from 1972-1976 provides a basis for understanding polyhydramnion's impact.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and clinical associations of polyhydramnion.
    • To evaluate perinatal mortality rates in pregnancies with polyhydramnion.
    • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and ultrasonic examination.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective clinical study.
    • Analysis of pregnancy cases diagnosed with polyhydramnion.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of associated pregnancy complications and perinatal outcomes.
  • Main Results:

    • Polyhydramnion incidence was 0.4%.
    • Associated factors included premature delivery, multiple pregnancy, chemical diabetes, and fetal anomalies (though 2/3 of infants had no anomalies).
    • Perinatal mortality rate was 41.7%.

    Conclusions:

    • Polyhydramnion presents significant risks, including high perinatal mortality.
    • Early diagnosis is vital for effective antenatal care and delivery planning.
    • Ultrasonic examination plays a critical role in prenatal diagnosis of polyhydramnion.
