Ultrasonography and Pregnancy Outcome in Threatened Abortion: A Prospective Observational Study

Background: Women who experience vaginal bleeding in the early stages of their pregnancy should be extremely worried about the phenomenon of "threatened abortion". Predicting the course of a pregnancy and choosing the best management techniques are critical to providing the best possible care for patients. The purpose of this investigation's prospective observational design was to learn more about the predictive power of ultrasound and how it may affect the medical management of upcoming abortions. Method: For the study, 200 first trimester pregnant women who showed indicators of an imminent abortion were gathered between X and Y. We looked at the fetus's heart, the size of the cervical canal, and a few other parts of the gestational sac using ultrasonography. Furthermore, records pertaining to the existence of extra data, like subchorionic hematoma, were found. Numerous exams were conducted to monitor the pregnancy's development. Results: Of the research's participants, 35% miscarried for unidentified reasons, and 65% were able to bring their pregnancies to term. The pregnancy's outcome could be accurately predicted based on the ultrasonography results. More specifically, there was a significant correlation between the development of a visible gestational sac and the presence of fetal heart activity and a higher chance of a successful pregnancy outcome. This was a strong relationship. On the other hand, women who had a subchorionic hematoma or a shorter cervical length were found to have a significantly higher risk of miscarriage. These findings show the value of ultrasonography as a technique for forecasting the course of pregnancies that are at risk of ending because of difficulties connected to the threat of abortion. Conclusion: Investigation's prospective observational design shows how ultrasound can be used to evaluate the advancement of pregnancy to determine cases where an abortion is likely to occur soon. Clinical decision-making based on ultrasound findings can improve patient management plans, patient counseling, and care for expectant patients. If prompt intervention using ultrasonographic signs improves the results of pregnancy at high risk, more research is needed to make that determination.
