Characterization of Intrauterine Growth Restriction in Pregnant Women Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics America Arias Havana, Cuba 2022

Abstract

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a pathology of multifactorial causes and complex management for the obstetrician. For a fetus, not reaching its growth potential represents a significant increase in the risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Cases of IUGR were more frequent in patients between 20 and 34 years of age with associated pathologies such as hypertension (HTN), urinary tract infection (UTI) and preeclampsia. The most frequent route of birth was eutocic births since the caesarean sections performed were mostly by previous caesarean sections. Of a total of 1656 births in 2022, 88 were CIUR, six early and 82 late.
