Is the Perinatal Outcome of Placental Abruption Modified by Clinical Presentation?

Table 3

The perinatal outcome of women complicated with placental abruption among groups of HT, TPL/ROM, and clinically low risk.

	HT	TPL/ROM	Clinically low risk
Number	22	35	27
Cesarean delivery (%)	16 (73%)	27 (77%)	23 (85%)
IUGR (%)	10 (45%)*	2 (6%)	4 (15%)
IUFD (%)	6 (27%)*	0 (0%)	7 (26%)*
UA pH < 7.1 among live births (%)	3 (19%)	2 (6%)	11 (55%)^*†
Low Apgar score at 5 min (less than 7) among live births (%)	1 (6%)	4 (11%)	10 (50%)^*†
Fibrinogen < 150 mg/dl	6 (27%)*	0 (0%)	10 (37%)*
Platelet count < 10 × 10^4/mm^3	3 (14%)	1 (3%)	1 (4%)

Results are expressed as Mean ± SD or incidence (%). HT: pregnancy-induced hypertension and TPL/ROM: threatened premature labor and/or premature rupture of membrane.
