    A simple antepartum risk-scoring system effectively identified high-risk pregnancies. High-risk mothers had significantly higher rates of neonatal morbidity and perinatal mortality compared to low-risk mothers.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Antenatal care aims to identify and manage pregnancies at risk of adverse outcomes.
    • Risk-scoring systems can aid in stratifying patients for targeted interventions.
    • Effective risk assessment is crucial for improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a simple antepartum risk-scoring system in predicting neonatal morbidity and perinatal mortality.
    • To determine the correlation between antepartum risk scores and adverse neonatal outcomes.
    • To assess the utility of the scoring system in identifying high-risk pregnancies.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective evaluation of a simple antepartum risk-scoring system was conducted.

  • The study included 2085 consecutive deliveries.
  • Infants were categorized based on maternal risk score (low risk < 7, high risk >= 7).

    • Main Results:

    • Neonatal morbidity was significantly higher in the high-risk group (42.1%) compared to the low-risk group (12.5%).
    • No neonatal deaths occurred in the low-risk group, while 34 occurred in the high-risk group (P < 0.001).
    • The high-risk group accounted for 88.6% of all perinatal deaths, with rates of 7.2/1000 live births for low-risk and 63.3/1000 live births for high-risk pregnancies.

    Conclusions:

    • The evaluated antepartum risk-scoring system is effective in identifying pregnancies at increased risk of neonatal morbidity and perinatal mortality.
    • The system demonstrates significant predictive value for adverse perinatal outcomes.
    • Implementation of this risk-scoring tool can aid in resource allocation and targeted interventions for high-risk pregnancies.
