Researchers from the United States found out that women who during pregnancy suffered sepsis (blood infection) may be complications during childbirth. The article of scientists is published in Jama Network Open.
Scientists from the University of California in San Francisco analyzed the data of 14.5 thousand patients with one fruit that gave birth from 2012 to 2018. Tae, 59 of them, during pregnancy suffered sepsis, recovered from infection and were discharged before childbirth. Its most common reasons were two types of infections – pulmonary and urinary tract. Patients with sepsis were younger, they often had a higher body mass index and diabetes was observed.
Researchers found out that in pregnant women with sepsis the risk of complications before and after the birth was two times higher. Such patients had a cesarean section more often, they often had postpartum bleeding and premature birth. In addition, it was found that in pregnant women, whose sepsis developed at a smaller period of pregnancy (whose fruit was not over 24 weeks), was higher than the risk of placental insufficiency, hypertension and low-life newborns.
