[Clinical analysis of 33 cases of fetomaternal hemorrhage syndrome]

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and prognosis of pregnant women with fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) syndrome, and to guide the management of pregnant women with FMH syndrome. Methods: The clinical data of 33 pregnant women with FMH syndrome admitted to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2010 to December 2024 were collected, and the general information, diagnostic characteristics, treatment and maternal and fetal prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The incidence of FMH syndrome in our hospital was 1.7/10 000 (33/194 272). The gestational age of onset of FMH syndrome in 33 pregnant women was (35.6±3.1) weeks, 15 cases (45%, 15/33) were full-term delivery and 18 cases (55%, 18/33) were preterm delivery. Decreased fetal movement (51%, 17/33) was the most common initial symptom, followed by abnormal electronic fetal monitoring (33%, 11/33). Thirty-two cases (97%, 32/33) underwent cesarean section, and only one case had spontaneous delivery. Postpartum hemorrhage occurred in 11 cases (33%, 11/33). All the neonates were transferred to neonatal intensive care unit for treatment. Two of them were treated with intrauterine blood transfusion, and the neonates did not receive blood transfusion after birth. The neonatal mortality rate was 6% (2/33), and the remaining 31 cases (94%, 31/33) survived. Complications occurred in 3 premature infants, including 1 case of neonatal neurodevelopmental disorder with cochlear implantation, 1 case of pulmonary artery stenosis, and 1 case of retinopathy of prematurity. Three pregnant women were pregnant again, and none of them had FMH syndrome. Conclusions: Decreased fetal movement or abnormal electronic fetal monitoring in late pregnancy should be alert to the occurrence of FMH syndrome. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical to improve the prognosis of FMH syndrome.
