Risk Factors and Outcomes of Intrauterine Growth Restriction in Pregnancies

Key Points

• To identify and evaluate the risk factors and outcomes associated with intrauterine growth restriction in pregnancies.
• Conducted an observational analysis of pregnancies with intrauterine growth restriction.
• Evaluated maternal and fetal health outcomes associated with various risk factors.
• Utilized clinical data to identify significant correlations between growth restriction and pregnancy complications.
• Intrauterine growth restriction was significantly associated with increased risk of preterm birth (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.8-3.5, p<0.001).
• Maternal hypertensive disorders were identified as a major risk factor, influencing fetal growth outcomes (HR 3.0, 95% CI 2.0-4.5, p<0.001).
• Adverse outcomes included higher rates of neonatal intensive care unit admissions (RR 4.2, 95% CI 3.0-5.8, p<0.001).
