Asociación entre el periodo intergenésico largo y corto y los resultados perinatales en las pacientes del Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo en el periodo 2021-2022.

Abstract

Introduction: The World Health Organization defines the Interpregnancy period as the time between the date of the last obstetric event and the beginning of the next pregnancy or the date of the last menstruation. Which could be related to several adverse outcomes of pregnancy, including preterm delivery, low birth weight and congenital malformations. Methodology: It is a prevalence study. Information was collected from the medical records of 248 newborns from the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Specialty Hospital, in the period of 2021-2022. Results: It was determined that the long interpregnancy period was the most prevalence in the population. Despite this, the most prevalent perinatal complication was preterm delivery, in 42.4% of the cases, which was found within the group of newborns with a short interpregnancy period. The APGAR score kept stable values in the newborns studied. Conclusion: The most prevalent complication was preterm delivery within the study group of the short interpregnancy period.
