Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate trends and outcomes of pregnancies in women with Turner syndrome in the U.S. using data from hospital deliveries between 2016 and 2020.
- Turner syndrome prevalence among pregnant patients was found to be 7.0 per 100,000 deliveries, with an increase in cases during the study period, suggesting a rising recognition of the condition.
- Pregnant women with Turner syndrome faced higher risks of various complications, such as pregestational hypertension, intrauterine fetal demise, and were more likely to have cesarean deliveries compared to those without the syndrome.
Background: Although intrauterine devices provide effective contraceptive protection, unintentional pregnancy can occur. Previous studies have shown that a retained intrauterine device during pregnancy is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes but there is a paucity of nationwide data and analysis.
Objective: This study aimed to describe characteristics and outcomes of pregnancies with a retained intrauterine device.
