- The study assessed the relationship between an updated antenatal risk index score and neonatal outcomes in women with high-risk pregnancies at a Saudi Arabian hospital.
- The retrospective analysis involved 533 pregnant women, categorizing them into low, moderate, and high-risk based on their antenatal risk scores and revealing trends like higher cesarean rates and longer hospital stays for high-risk mothers.
- Findings indicated that newborns from high-risk pregnancies faced increased rates of neonatal complications, including higher mortality and NICU admissions, emphasizing the importance of antenatal risk assessment for better healthcare management.
Aim: To identify the risk factors associated with the development of coronary artery lesions (CAL) in pediatric patients with Kawasaki Disease (KD).
Methods: A retrospective chart review of the medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with KD who were admitted to King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between January 2001 and December 2011 was performed. Odd ratio (OR) with 95 % Confidence interval (CI) was measured for each risk factor for CAL.
