Abstract
The objective of the study is to evaluate the obstetric and perinatal outcomes among primiparas with history of threatened miscarriage in the first semester. The study included primiparas with a history of threatened miscarriage on their first 20 weeks of pregnancy. The diagnostic criteria for threatened miscarriage was based on documented fetal cardiac activity on ultrasound, with a history of vaginal bleeding in the presence of a closed cervix and gestational age at twenty weeks or less. The control group included all primaparas without history of threatened miscarriage on their first twenty weeks of pregnancy. Data was extracted on obstetric and perinatal outcomes record of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology between 2010 and 2012. The overall adverse perinatal outcome is significantly higher as compared to the obstetric outcomes. Spontaneous miscarriage and intrauterine growth restriction was significantly higher in the threatened miscarriage group compared to the control group. there were no significant differences in other obstetric and perinatal outcomes.
