Abstract:
The aim of this work was to compare the prognosis of induced pregnancies and spontaneous pregnancies received in the service.
Patients And Methods:
We performed a retrospective study of Ca / Witnesses (1 case for 2 controls) with age and parity matching. This study was conducted at the maternity ward of the Reference Health Center of Commune V District Bamako (CSREF CV) over a period of 10 years from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2016 for all patients meeting our criteria of 'inclusion. We called cases, induced pregnancies, and witnessed spontaneous pregnancies. The data was entered and analyzed on the Epi-Info software version 6.04 according to the formula applicable to the Case / Witness study.
Results:
We included in this study, (due to a case for two controls), 1611 induced pregnancies (cases), and 3222 spontaneous pregnancies (controls). The average age was 35.4 years (25 years-43 years) with an average parity of 2.7 (1-5). Hypertensive disorders, preterm birth, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), caesarean section, poor perinatal prognosis were found with a statistically significant difference (OR> 1) in patients with induced pregnancies.
Conclusion:
