    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Hydatidiform mole is a rare complication of pregnancy.
    • Understanding its incidence and potential contributing factors is crucial for reproductive health management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of hydatidiform mole in Singapore.
    • To investigate potential correlations between hydatidiform mole and environmental factors.
    • To analyze seasonal variations in molar pregnancies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 198 hydatidiform mole cases.
    • Data collected over a five-year period from three maternity hospitals in Singapore.
    • Statistical analysis to assess incidence and correlations.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of hydatidiform mole was found to be 1 in 868 deliveries.
    • A higher number of molar pregnancies were recorded in the first half of the year compared to the second half.
    • The study discussed the correlation of hydatidiform mole incidence with potential environmental factors.

    Conclusions:

    • The incidence of hydatidiform mole in Singapore is established.
    • Seasonal variations in molar pregnancies are observed.
    • Further research into environmental factors influencing hydatidiform mole is warranted.
