Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To assess the outcome of pregnancies complicated by kyphoscoliosis in modern obstetric and orthopedic care.
METHODS: A total of 22 kyphoscoliotic patients with 34 pregnancies were identified from 46,828 pregnancies between 1998 and 2009. Their obstetric records and associated orthopedic problem were studied.
RESULTS: The incidence of kyphoscoliosis complicating pregnancy was 0.072%. The mean age of the patients in their index pregnancy was 28.4 years (range 23-35), mean height 130 cm (range 125-138). The cause of kyphoscoliosis included idiopathic (majority), poliomyelitis and traumatic injury. Only 1 of the patient had previous spinal surgery. The cesarean rate was very high and none had any significant cardiorespiratory problem during anesthesia. There was no maternal or perinatal mortality.
CONCLUSIONS: The high maternal and perinatal risks associated with kyphoscoliosis reported earlier no longer exist.
