Pregnancy following poliomyelitis

E Daw, G Chandler

    Postgraduate Medical Journal
    |August 1, 1976

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pregnancies in women with a history of poliomyelitis showed increased obstetric complications, correlating with disability severity. A unilateral weight-bearing test can indicate pelvic asymmetry, a potential factor in these complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Neurology
    • Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Poliomyelitis can lead to long-term neurological deficits and physical disabilities.
    • Pregnancy in women with prior poliomyelitis presents unique challenges.
    • Assessing pelvic structure is important in managing high-risk pregnancies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate obstetric complications in patients with a history of poliomyelitis.
    • To determine the relationship between pre-existing disabilities and pregnancy outcomes.
    • To identify simple clinical indicators of pelvic asymmetry.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of forty-nine pregnancies in thirty-seven patients with a history of poliomyelitis.
    • Correlation analysis of clinical disability severity with obstetric complications.

  • Assessment of a unilateral weight-bearing test for pelvic asymmetry.

    • Main Results:

    • Obstetric complications were found to be directly proportional to the clinical disabilities resulting from poliomyelitis.
    • The unilateral weight-bearing test demonstrated utility in identifying pelvic asymmetry.

    Conclusions:

    • Women with greater poliomyelitis-related disabilities face higher obstetric risks during pregnancy.
    • The unilateral weight-bearing test is a valuable, simple tool for assessing pelvic asymmetry in this patient population.
