Pregnancy Outcomes and Related Factors
Keywords:
pregnant women, pregnancy outcomes, newborns, risk factorsAbstract
Pregnancy outcomes are developed conceptus after fertilizing until termination of pregnancy. Pregnancy with good pregnancy outcomes is desirable for pregnant women, their families, and health care providers. It may be good pregnancy outcomes or poor pregnancy outcomes, depending on related factors. Good pregnancy outcomes are term pregnancy, the lived birth of a healthy and vigorous newborn, and an appropriate birth weight of 2,500–3,990 grams. Factors related to good pregnancy outcomes are fetal growth-promoting factors, the quality and standard of intrapartum care, and newborn care. Poor pregnancy outcomes include abortion, preterm birth, low birth weight under 2,500 grams, congenital malformation, and death of the fetus. Risk factors affecting poor pregnancy outcomes are genetic risk factors, health conditions and diseases, environment, psychological factors, and intrapartum complications. Therefore, promoting factors influencing good pregnancy outcomes and avoiding factors affecting poor pregnancy outcomes would be beneficial to antenatal care for pregnant women in order to give birth to a healthy and vigorous newborn, which is the desired expectation of everybody and their families.
