Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of all traumatised pregnants who admitted to Yüzüncü Yil University teritary referral hospital from June 2010 and December 2012. One hundred seventy-nine pregnants in whom referred for trauma analysed for the data about mechanism of trauma, demographic and obstetric parameters on admission, diagnostic and surgical procedures performed, maternal and fetal outcomes. The SAS statistical package version 9.2 was used in data analysis. Results: Overall, the medical records of 179 patients were reached and included in the study. The mean age was 27.5 ± 5.8. Gestational age ranged from 6 to 39 weeks (mean, 26.2 weeks), with most trauma (49.1%) being in the third trimester. Road trrafic accident (RTA) was the main mechanism of trauma (41.5%) followed by falls (26.4%). Trauma due to animal recoil was seen in three patients. The most injured body area was extremity (34.2%). Traumatised pregnants resulted in metarnal (4 cases) and fetal (16 cases) loss. Most of the fetal loss (49.1%) was seen third trimester, with the main cause detected as placental abruption (8 cases). When compared the complicated pregnancy according to trauma site, abdominal trauma (33.3%) was significantly related to complication in pregnancy than non-abdominal trauma (21.9%) (p = 0.014). Conclusions: Trauma in pregnancy carries risks for both mother and baby. Trauma to abdominal region and trauma in second or third trimester pregnancy is associated with significantly higher maternal and fetal complications.展开更多
