Abstract
Background
Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder associated with an elevated risk of vascular, uterine and digestive complications. Managing pregnancy in this context can be a challenge.
Objectives
To systematically review the literature data on the complications in pregnancy associated with vEDS.
Search strategy
We searched the Pubmed Medline and Embase databases for articles using the following terms “vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome” or “vEDS” AND “pregnancy”.
Selection criteria
Women with vEDS.
Data collection and analysis
We searched the PubMed® MEDLINE® database for publications evaluating obstetric outcomes in women with vEDS.
Main results
A total of 121 publications were screened, with six (accounting for 412 pregnancies) included in our review. Of the women included in this sample, 30% were infertile. The miscarriage rate was 13.8% (57/412) and 8.8% of the live births were premature. Obstetric anal sphincter injuries occurred in 11.3% (23/203) of the deliveries. The maternal mortality rate per pregnancy was 5.7%.
Conclusions
Women with vEDS present an elevated risk of uterine rupture, vascular events, digestive events and death during pregnancy. Women appear to be most at risk during the peripartum period; to avoid expulsive efforts, a caesarean section should be scheduled at 37 weeks of gestation.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Energy Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of materials, engineering, chemistry, physics and biology relevant to energy conversion and storage. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important energy applications.
