Abstract:
:In a study of 92 women with subchorionic hematoma evaluated with sonographic scan in King Khalid University Hospital, it was found that the mean ages and live births of patients who carried their pregnancies to viability were higher when compared with the patients who aborted. There was a statistically significant association between the gestational age at diagnosis of subchorionic hematoma and the size of the hematoma. There was, however, no statistically significant association found between the gestational age at diagnosis, size and site of the hematoma and the outcome of pregnancy. It was concluded that subchorionic hematoma which appear either in the second trimester, or are larger, or located in the lower uterine segment, may be associated with higher rates of abortion or preterm deliveries. Nevertheless, there is no statistically significant impact of these on the outcome of pregnancy.
