origin)

Abstract:
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Aberdeen, "Exposure was
antepartum haemorrhage occurring after the first trimester not attributable to placenta praevia or placental
abruption. Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. All primigravidae delivering between 1976
and 2010. Data were analysed using univariate and multivariate statistical methods. Pre-eclampsia, induced
labour, mode of delivery, preterm delivery, postpartum haemorrhage, admission to neonatal unit, perinatal
death. Between 1976 and 2010, there were 7517 women with ABUO and 68,423 women without ABUO in the
cohort. Women with ABUO were more likely to be non-smokers, belong to a lower social class, and have a
higher body mass index.

2015 JAN 22 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Women's Health Weekly -- Current study
results on Obstetrics and Gynecology have been published. According to news originating from Aberdeen,
United Kingdom, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "To explore the risk of adverse maternal and
perinatal outcomes in women with antepartum bleeding of unknown origin (ABUO). Cohort study based on data
extracted from the Aberdeen Maternity and Neonatal Databank."
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Aberdeen, "Exposure was
antepartum haemorrhage occurring after the first trimester not attributable to placenta praevia or placental
abruption. Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. All primigravidae delivering between 1976
and 2010. Data were analysed using univariate and multivariate statistical methods. Pre-eclampsia, induced
labour, mode of delivery, preterm delivery, postpartum haemorrhage, admission to neonatal unit, perinatal
death. Between 1976 and 2010, there were 7517 women with ABUO and 68,423 women without ABUO in the
cohort. Women with ABUO were more likely to be non-smokers, belong to a lower social class, and have a
higher body mass index. ABUO was a significant risk factor for induced labour (adjusted odds ratio, aOR, 1.23;
95% CI 1.16-1.31), preterm delivery at <37 weeks of gestation (aOR 2.30; 95% CI 2.11-2.50), and postpartum
haemorrhage (aOR 1.15; 95% CI 1.06-1.25). There was no significant association detected with pre-eclampsia
(aOR 0.93; 95% CI 0.83-1.05). Whereas there was an increased risk of low birthweight (aOR 0.90; 95% CI
0.79-1.03) and stillbirth (aOR 0.92; 95% CI 0.66-1.30) with ABUO on univariate analysis, once adjusted for
confounding factors this risk was non-significant. Pregnancies complicated by ABUO are at a greater risk of
preterm delivery and induced labour."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "There was no increase seen in perinatal mortality after
adjusting for preterm birth."
