Prematurely born women have a higher risk of complications during their pregnancy. In addition, for women who were born before 32 weeks, the risk of complications almost doubled. This conclusion Canadian scientists, who published his findings in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Researchers in the past have assumed that complications during pregnancy is more common in women born with low birth weight, but so far there have been no studies with a proper number of participants and the correct view of the additional factors. Dr. Anne Monique Newt (Anne Monique Nuyt) from the University of Montreal (University of Montreal) in Quebec and colleagues turned to a database of Quebec newborns, which has been going on for decades. They selected data on 554 women who were born before 32 weeks of pregnancy from 1976 to 1995., 6851 women born between 32 and 36 weeks, and 16 thousand women who were born at term. All the participants of the study gave birth to at least one child between 1987 and 2008. The scientists analyzed the pregnancy each participant for the development of complications such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia (hypertension, preeclampsia and eclampsia).
After accounting for factors such as age and weight at onset of pregnancy, researchers found that during at least one pregnancy complications developed in 11.7 per cent of women born in the period from 13.2 per cent of women born between 32 and 36 weeks, and 19.9 percent of women born before 32 weeks. The risk of each of the above complications in women born before 32 weeks, significantly higher than the risk for women in the other groups: gestational diabetes - a 2.34 times higher hypertension - 1.56 times more likely, pre-eclampsia or eclampsia - 1, 79 times more often.
The scientists also found that prematurely born women for life in most developing hypertension (1.4 times faster), and type 2 diabetes (0.5 times faster). It is also interesting that these women are much more likely to have at least 12 years of education (44.6 percent versus 41.7 percent in the group born between 32 and 36 weeks and compared with 36 percent in the group born at term).
According to scientists, the mechanism of effect of premature birth on the long-term effects on women's health is not yet entirely clear. Apparently, in preterm infants impaired microcirculation and metabolism of insulin. In the future, this leads to the development of cardiometabolic complications in pregnancy. Scientists urge obstetricians sure to take into account whether a pregnant woman was born in time to be alert to possible complications.
