Effect of bronchial asthma on the course of pregnancy, labour and perinatal outcome

Abstract

The course of pregnancy and labour, and perinatal outcome of 182 pregnancies complicated by bronchial asthma, over a 10-year period were studied. Antiasthmatic medications included oral and/or parenteral beta 2-agonists, theophylline, aminophylline, corticosteroids, and inhaled salbutamol and beclomethasone. A control group of 364 nonasthmatic gravidas was matched for age and parity. In asthmatic gravidas, antenatal complications mean duration of pregnancy (38.5 weeks), mode of delivery, incidence of prematurity (13.2%) and low birth weight (LBW, 19.6%) and perinatal mortality (0.5%) were not significantly different compared to the controls (p > 0.05). However, uncontrolled severe asthma in 15 gravidas who required hospitalization, was associated with significant decrease in mean birth weight (2469 +/- 571 g vs 2842 +/- 494 g; p < 0.05) and a high incidence of LBW neonates (53.3% vs 20.5%; p < 0.01) at mean gestation of 38 weeks. Bronchial asthma during pregnancy, when optimally controlled does not affect the course or pregnancy and labour, and perinatal outcome. However, uncontrolled severe asthma leads to fetal growth retardation.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
