Abstract
BackgroundComplicated gallstone disease (CGD) is a common condition requiring intervention during pregnancy to avert adverse birth outcomes (ABO). MethodsCohort study using the California OSHPD 2007–2014 database. Records of pregnant patients were analyzed for gallbladder calculus within four months of delivery. Biliary system interventions were evaluated as the primary exposure. ResultsOf 7,597 patients, those with CGD had a greater likelihood of biliary system procedures than those with uncomplicated gallstone disease (36.6% vs. 2.5%, p < 0.001). Patients with CGD also had increased odds of ABO (OR 2.02, 95% CI, 1.48–2.76). Compared to patients without biliary system procedures, those with interventions for gallstones had an OR of 3.46 (95% CI, 2.48–4.82) for ABO. After adjustment, biliary system intervention for CGD had an even greater risk of ABO (OR 4.26, 95% CI, 2.86–6.35). ConclusionsThe risk of ABO is significantly increased in women with CGD and intervention for gallstones.
