Association between Intrauterine Growth Restriction and Pregnancy Hypertension
Abstract: Intrauterine Growth
Restriction (IUGR) certainly poses health problems that leads to increase
mortality and can cause mental and physiological disturbances to the infants.
Reduced organ perfusion is one of the etiologies of IUGR which is caused by
placenta obstruction. This happens because of pregnancy hypertension as a risk
factor. Furthermore, educational level, employment status, parity, and anemia
are also its risk factors. The objective of this study was to analyze the
prevalence of IUGR and association between IUGR and pregnancy hypertension.
Methods: A case control design was performed using medical records from
Neonatology Department of Child Health at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital
Bandung in 2012. Subjects were taken from 149 medical records of the mother who
had IUGR and 149 normal birth weight infant information about the
characteristics of the mothers and the infants. The data were collected and
analyzed by calculating the Odds ratio (OR).
Results: The prevalence of IUGR at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in
2012 was 149 cases (4.69%). There was association between pregnancy
hypertension and IUGR with OR=1.72, 95% CI (1.044–2.836).
Conclusions: Pregnancy hypertension is one of the risks that generates
IUGR.
