Abstract

Aim:The aim of the study is to assess distribution of fetal indications leading to termination of pregnancy TOP at Dr. Zekai Tahir Burak Women’s Health Education and Research Hospital in an eleven year period encompassing years 2000 and 2011 Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort analyzing the indications leading to termination of pregnancy TOP at Zekai Tahir Burak Women’s Health Education & Research Hospital encompassing years 2000 and 2011 were made . A committe composed of three obstetricians/perinatologists, one neonatolog and one genetic specialist gave the final decision to terminate the pregnancies. Fetal structural and chromosomal anomalies, fetal hidrops, amniotic fluid abnormalities, infections, maternal disease, drug or teratogen use and radiation exposure were searched. The mean gestational age at the detection of fetal abnormalities according to years was calculated. The fetal structural anomalies were divided into nine groups. Results: During the study period 1629 women underwent termination of pregnancy. There were 34 %2,08 , 1423 %87,3 , 172 %10,5 cases in group I, group II and group III, respectively. The distribution of the indications for TOP were as follows: Fetal structural anomalies:1051 cases 64,5% amniotic fluid abnormalities:172 cases 10,5% , chromosomal abnormalities:149 cases 9,1% , fetal hydrops 83 cases 5,1% , infections 39 cases 2,3% , maternal diseases:72 cases 4,4% , drug or teratogen use:45 cases 2,7% , radia- tion exposure: 18 cases 1,1% . The distribution of fetal structural anomalies were as follows; Central nervous system CNS anomalies 568 cases 34,8% , cardiovascular and respiratory system anomalies:74 cases 9,7% , gastrointestinal tract and thoracoabdominal defects:45 cases 2,7% , urogenital anomalies: 54 cases 3,3% , musculoskeletal defects: 84 cases 5,1% , defects in- volving face and neck: 40 cases 2,4% , multiple anomalies:158 cases 9,7% , single gen disorders: 8 cases 0,4% , and others: 20 cases 1,2% . Conclusion: First and second trimester ultrasonographic examination seems to be the single and most important parameter for detection of fetal abnormalities. Assesment of the fetal anomalies revealed that CNS anomalies were responsible for the majority of the termination cases. This is consistent with evidence in the literature showing that CNS malformations are the most common structural malformations leading to TOP's

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı Zekai Tahir Burak Kadın Sağlığı Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde 2000-2011 yılları arasındaki 11 yıllık zaman aralığında terminasyon yapılan gebeliklerin endikasyonlarının dağılımını değerlendirmektir. Yöntem ve Gereçler: Çalışmada 2000-2011 yılları arasında kurumumuzun Sağlık Kurulu tarafından alınan gebelik terminasyon kararları retrospektif bir kohort çalışma ile değerlendirildi. Sağlık kurulunda, üç kadın doğum uzmanı/perinatolog, bir yenidoğan uzmanı ve bir genetik uzmanını yer almaktadır. Terminasyon endikasyonları: fetal yapısal anomaliler, kromozomal anomaliler, amniyon sıvısı anormallikleri, fetal hidrops, enfeksiyonlar, annenin teratojen veye teratojen olma potansiyeli olan ilaç kullanımı ve radyasyon maruziyeti olarak ayrıldı. Yıllara göre ortalama gebelik haftası ve hasta sayıları saptandı. Fetal yapısal anomaliler 9 gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda termine edilen 1629 hastanın terminasyon endikasyonları belirlendi. Gebelik haftalarına göre de 5. ve 10. haftalar arası Grup I: 34 hasta %2,08 , 11. ve 24. haftalar arası Grup II:1423 hasta %87,3 , 25 hafta ve üzeri Grup III: 172 hasta %10,5 olarak bulundu. Gebelik terminasyon endikasyonları; fetal yapısal anomaliler 1051 olgu %64,5 , amniotik sıvı anormallikleri 172 olgu %10,5 , kromozom anomalileri 149 olgu %9,1 , fetal hidrops 83 olgu %5,1 , infeksiyonlar 39 olgu %2,3 , maternal hastalık 72 olgu %4,4 , teratojen olma potansiyeli olan ilaç kullanımı 45 olgu %2,7 , radyasyon maruziyeti 18 olgu %1,1 olarak sıralanmaktadır. Fetal yapısal anomaliler kendi arasında; Santral sinir sistemi anomalileri 568 olgu %34,8 kardiovasküler ve solunum sistemi anomalileri 74 olgu %9,7 , gastrointestinal sistem ve torakoabdominal defektler 45 olgu %2,7 , ürogenital anomaliler 54 olgu % 3,3 , kas-iskelet anomalileri 84 olgu %5,1 , baş, boyun anomalileri 40 olgu %2,4 , çoklu anomaliler 158 olgu %9,7 , tek gen bozuklukları 8 olgu %0,4 , ve diğer nedenler 20 olgu %1,2 olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Fetal yapısal anomalilerin tanısında en önemli ve tek parametre birinci ve ikinci trimester ultrasonografik muayenedir. Fetal anomaliler değerlendirildiğinde santral sinir sistemi anomalileri terminasyon olgularında en büyük grubu oluşturmaktadır.
