Objective: To investigate the fetal/neonatal prognosis and to compare Intrauterine Fetal Death (IUFD) with liveborn infants in placental abruption.
Methods: A retrospective review of 355 pregnancies was performed. An adverse fetal/neonatal outcome was defined as IUFD on admission, neonatal/ infantile death at discharge and cerebral palsy.
Results: Eighty-nine fetuses were cases of IUFD, while the remaining 266 fetuses were alive on admission. The significant factor for IUFD was blood transfusion (OR (odds ratio) 2.21, 95% CI 1.02 - 4.76). The interval from the onset of symptoms to the diagnosis was significantly longer for IUFD than for the live-born infants (median, 213 vs. 130 min, p<0.0001) A logistic regression model showed bradycardia (28.25, 6.10 - 130.84), late decelerations (5.94, 1.02 - 34.61) and gesta..
