Abstract
SummaryPregnancy outcome in women with threatened abortion was compared to that in a control group. Major complications such as prematurity, premature rupture of fetal membranes, antepartum haemorrhage, pregnancy induced hypertension, asphyxia and neonatal death were more common following threatened abortion. Fetal outcome was poorer when spontaneous vaginal bleeding occurred before 14 weeks. The incidence of congenital malformations was not significantly increased. Threatened abortion is a risk factor for poor fetal outcome. In this group of patients, prematurity is the main poor outcome predicted. There is need to monitor patients after a threatened abortion to minimise these complications.
