Acute and Chronic Respiratory Diseases in Pregnancy: Associations with Spontaneous Premature rupture of Membranes
Keywords:
Premature Rupture of Membrane, Acute and Chronic Respiratory Diseases, Asthma, Chronic BronchitisAbstract
Background: Acute respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia or influenza, are known to cause significant maternal and fetal morbidity and can exacerbate underlying chronic respiratory conditions. Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, require careful management during pregnancy to avoid complications. Objective: To determine the association of spontaneous premature membranes with acute and chronic respiratory diseases. Methodology: The current cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Gynecology Jinnah International Hospital and Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad for the period of 6 months from January 2020 to June 2020 after approval from the ethical review board. The respiratory diseases were divided into two types one was acute conditions such as acute viral and bacterial respiratory pneumonia along with acute bronchitis. Additionally, the second type was chronic conditions like asthma in addition to chronic bronchitis. The collected was thoroughly analyzed by the SPSS 23 version. Results: The present consists of 348 pregnant females with the age from 18 to 41 years of age. The participants had single-ton pregnancies. The females who were from 18-23 years of age had 34 (22.97%) acute conditions, along with 57 (28.5%) chronic conditions. The acute 68 (45.94%) and chronic 78 (39%) conditions were more prevalent from 24-29 years of age. There was a total of 51 (34.45%) pre-term births with PROM and 97 (65.54%) without premature rupture of the membrane (PROM) among the females with acute conditions, furthermore, those with chronic conditions had 128 (64%) pre-term births with PROM and 72 (36%) had without PROM. Conclusion: The current study concluded that both acute and chronic conditions were associated with spontaneous premature rupture of membrane; however, PROM was common among patients having chronic conditions such as asthma and chronic bronchitis.ÂReferences
