Article scientifique 2018 Anglais

Résumé

OBJECTIVES: Uterine fibroids are common among the black race and associated with adverse outcomes in pregnancy. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, clinical presentation and maternal and foetal outcomes of birth among pregnant women with leiomyoma in two secondary care hospitals in Limbe and Buea, Cameroon. RESULTS: The prevalence of fibroid in pregnancy was 16.7%. Respondents with leiomyoma were older than those without (p < 0.001) and of low parity (p = 0.02). Acute abdominal pain, (OR 3.8; 95% CI 1.4-9.9, p = 0.007), vaginal bleeding (OR 5.2; 95% CI 1.6-16.3, p = 0.004) were clinical presentation of leiomyoma in pregnancy. Cesarean birth (OR 4.5; 95% CI 1.4-13.6, p = 0.008), low Apgar score, (OR 6.0; 95% CI 1.9-19.1, p = 0.002), and postpartum hemorrhage (OR 4.7; 95% CI 1.7-13.2, p = 0.003) were adverse outcomes recorded.
