Abstract

INTRODUCTION

To investigate the effects of hyperemesis gravidarum which is conflict results in the literature and which is the first trimester complication on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes

Material-methods:

METHODS

Between October 2013 and January 2017, 170 patients with hyperemesis gravidarum diagnosed in our clinic and 791 patients with no pregnancy complications between the same dates were retrospectively analyzed for demographic information, birth and neonatal outcomes.

RESULTS

The hyperemesis gravidarum group had a lower age and a lower birth weight infant birth rate than the control group. Preterm birth and needs of newborn intensive care unit ratio was higher in control group than hyperemesis gravidarum group. Although our results were different, there was no statistical significance different between hyperemesis gravidarum and control groups.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

Hyperemesis gravidarum, which usually heal without sequelae and is likely to affect maternal first trimester well in the bad way, has no significant effect on birth and neonatal outcomes.
