Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the rates of vaginal delivery (VD) and the predictors of VD in a cohort of patients with early (<34 weeks) preeclampsia with severe features (Early Severe PreEClampsia [ESPEC]).
Study design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with ESPEC admitted to a single center from 2013 to 2019. Exclusion criteria included patients with contraindications to labor, multifetal gestation, or presenting in spontaneous labor. Patient characteristics were abstracted. The primary outcome was rate of VD. Secondary outcome was factors associated with VD. Secondary analysis performed including only primiparous patients. Bivariate statistics and logistic regression were used to analyze data.
Results: Of 229 patients with ESPEC, 184 (80%) were candidates for labor. Of those, 74 (40%) underwent prelabor cesarean delivery (CD). Among the 110 remaining patients who attempted VD, 47 (43%) were successful. No significant differences in characteristics between VD and CD patients were found on bivariate analysis. In regression models, BMI ≥ 40 was associated with increased odds of CD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.83, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01, 7.95), whereas private insurance was associated with reduced odds of CD (aOR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.16, 0.86). In planned secondary analysis of primiparous patients, 101/123 (82%) were candidates for labor. Of those, 29 underwent prelabor CD. The VD rate among primiparous patients attempting labor was 40% (29/72). In this subgroup, private insurance was associated with VD (71 vs. 46%, p = 0.03). In regression models, only private insurance remained associated with CD (aOR: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.10, 0.92).
Conclusion: Patients with ESPEC who attempted VD were successful less than half of the time, with similar rates among the subset of primiparous patients. BMI ≥ 40 was associated with increased odds of CD, whereas private insurance was associated with reduced odds of CD. These data may aid providers in counseling patients with ESPEC on the likelihood of successful VD.
Key points: · Only 43% of ESPEC patients who attempted VD were successful.. · Subset of primiparous patients w/ESPEC had similar VD rate.. · BMI ≥40 kg/m2 in ESPEC patients was associated with increased odds of CD..
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Perinatology is an international, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal publishing 14 issues a year dealing with original research and topical reviews. It is the definitive forum for specialists in obstetrics, neonatology, perinatology, and maternal/fetal medicine, with emphasis on bridging the different fields.
The focus is primarily on clinical and translational research, clinical and technical advances in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment as well as evidence-based reviews. Topics of interest include epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal, fetal, and neonatal diseases. Manuscripts on new technology, NICU set-ups, and nursing topics are published to provide a broad survey of important issues in this field.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, with web-based submission, expedited turn-around, and availability of electronic publication.
The American Journal of Perinatology is accompanied by AJP Reports - an Open Access journal for case reports in neonatology and maternal/fetal medicine.
