Abstract
Objective: Placental abruption is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes including intrauterine fetal demise, which subsequently results in stillbirth. However, few studies have demonstrated the preventability of stillbirth due to placental abruption. Therefore, we evaluated the possibility of preventing stillbirth caused by placental abruption by reviewing all stillbirths in our region.
Methods: This study reviewed all stillbirths after 22 weeks of gestation in Shiga Prefecture, Japan from 2010 to 2019, excluding lethal disorders. We evaluated 350 stillbirth cases, with and without placental abruption.
Results: There were 32 stillbirths with PA and 318 without placental abruption. The probability of preventing stillbirth was significantly higher in patients with placental abruption than in those without (30% vs. 8%, p < 0.001). We also determined the recommendations for preventing stillbirths with placental abruption.
Conclusion: Some stillbirths caused by placental abruption can be prevented. We recommend improvements to perinatal maternal-fetal care and perinatal emergency transport systems.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
