Comparison of Fetomaternal Complications in Women of High Parity with Women of Low Parity among Saudi Women
2022
Overview
High parity is associated with the risk of fetomaternal complications such as gestational diabetes mellitus, hypertensive disorders, maternal anemia, preterm labor, miscarriage, postpartum hemorrhage, and perinatal and preterm mortality. The objective of the study was to compare fetomaternal complications in women of high parity with women of low parity. This involved a cohort study on a sample size of 500 women who had singleton births. Data were collected from the Maternity and Child Hospital, Ha’il, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Participants were classified into two groups according to parity, i.e., women of low parity and women of high parity. Socio-demographic data and pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, etc., were retrieved from participants’ files. Participants were followed in the postnatal ward until their discharge. The results revealed that women of high parity mostly (49%) were married before 20 years of age, less educated, obese, and were of un-booked cases. Premature babies and fetal mortality are significantly high (0.000) in this group. There is a significant difference between the two groups with respect to maternal anemia, gestational diabetes mellitus, joint pain, perineal tear, miscarriage, postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, vaginal tear, and cesarean section. Determinants responsible for high parity should be identified via evidence-based medicine. Public health education programs targeting couples, weight control, nutrition, and contraception would be a cost-effective strategy for reducing the risk of possible fetomaternal complications.
