D T Ubbink, J I Puyenbroek

    European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology
    |September 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Investigating 238 second-trimester abortions revealed an increasing incidence after 1979. Idiopathic cases showed recurrent pregnancy loss and fetal growth issues, necessitating further investigation into causes and fetal development.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatology
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Second-trimester abortions represent a significant obstetric challenge.
    • Understanding the causes of idiopathic immature deliveries is crucial for improving reproductive outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and characteristics of immature deliveries.
    • To identify potential risk factors and patterns in idiopathic cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 238 immature deliveries (1973-1985).
    • Exclusion of cases with known causes to focus on idiopathic instances.
    • Review of obstetrical histories for patterns of recurrent pregnancy wastage.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • An increasing incidence of immature deliveries was observed after 1979.
    • 126 cases were classified as idiopathic.
    • Idiopathic cases frequently exhibited recurrent pregnancy wastage and fetal/placental growth retardation.

    Conclusions:

    • Idiopathic second-trimester abortions may be linked to recurrent pregnancy wastage.
    • Fetal growth retardation is a common finding in these cases.
    • Further research into the causes and careful evaluation of fetal development in subsequent pregnancies are recommended.
