background & objectives : to determine the prevalence of placental abruption, due to its maternal & fetal known adverse outcomes, the present survey was carried out on pregnant women referred to the obstetric center of kermanshah university of medical science (motazedi hospital) in 2001_2002. materials and methods: this study was a descriptive one, having surveyed all the inpatient pregnant wom...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: placental abruption is one of the most common causes of bleeding during pregnancy. multiple factors are known to be associated with increase of risk of placental abruption such as alcohol, cocaine use and cigarette smoking. the objective of this study was to identify risk factors for placental abruption in an iranian women population. ma...

We would like to submit a paper, entitled ‘Prediction of fetal acidemia in placental abruption’, which stresses the importance of nonreassuring fetal status, especially the presence of bradycardia in placental abruption and proposes the predictive score for fetal acidemia in placental abruption. To our knowledge, this study is the first to describe the possibilities for fetal acidemia in placen...

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of direct maternal death globally. In the United States, it is responsible for over 11% of pregnancy-related deaths. Placental abruption must be considered in any antenatal patient with hemorrhage. However, the highly variable presentation of placental abruption makes the clinical diagnosis difficult. Furthermore, few studies have been performed to examine the op...

Oxidative stress and impaired placental function - pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of placental abruption - have their origins extending to mitochondrial dysfunction. To the best of our knowledge, there are no published reports of associations of placental abruption with circulating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number - a novel biomarker of systemic mitochondrial dysfunction. This pil...

OBJECTIVE Substance use in pregnancy is associated with placental abruption, but the risk of fetal death independent of abruption remains undetermined. Our objective was to examine the effect of maternal drug dependence on placental abruption and on fetal death in association with abruption and independent of it. METHODS To examine placental abruption and fetal death, we performed a retrospec...

BACKGROUND Efforts to elucidate risk factors for placental abruption are imperative due to the severity of complications it produces for both mother and fetus, and its contribution to preterm birth. Ethnicity-based differences in risk of placental abruption and preterm birth have been reported. We tested the hypotheses that race, after adjusting for other factors, is associated with the risk of...

BACKGROUND Migraine, a common chronic-intermittent disorder of idiopathic origin characterized by severe debilitating headaches and autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and placental abruption, the premature separation of the placenta, share many common pathophysiological characteristics. Moreover, endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, hypercoagulation, and inflammation are common to b...
