INVESTIGATION OF CLINICAL AND PARACLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PREGNANCY OUTCOMES IN PRIMIGRAVID WOMEN WITH POLYHYDRAMNIOS AT VINH LONG GENERAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the clinical and paraclinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes in primigravid women with polyhydramnios. Methods:A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 96 pregnant women at the Department of Obstetrics, Vinh Long General Hospital, from March 2023 to July 2024. Results: The proportion of participants aged ≥ 35 years was 29.2%. Mild polyhydramnios accounted for 66.7% of cases, while moderate and severe levels accounted for 25.0% and 8.3%, respectively. Most patients were asymptomatic (66.7%). Pregnant women with moderate - severe polyhydramnios had higher rates of cesarean section (81.2% vs. 43.7%), premature rupture of membranes (31.3% vs. 12.5%), early rupture of membranes (56.3% vs. 15.6%), and preterm birth (25.0% vs. 3.1%) compared to the mild group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Most primigravid women with polyhydramnios presented with mild disease and asymptomatic conditions. However, moderate - severe polyhydramnios was associated with a higher cesarean section rate and poorer pregnancy outcomes.
