Popis: | With improved survival in cystic fibrosis (CF), women with CF are now seeking advice about the risk of pregnancy. To identify predictive factors, 8 pregnancies in 7 women, evaluated within 1 year prior to conception, were studied. Five pregnancies occurred in 4 women who did well (Group I) and 3 pregnancies occurred in 3 women who deteriorated and did not regain pregravid nutritional or pulmonary status post partum (Group II). The groups were similar in age and height. Group I had better weight gain during pregnancy, fewer hospitalizations, normal length gestation and normal birth weight infants. There were no deaths during pregnancy, however, 2 women in Group II died post partum. Although 2 infants of Group II mothers were premature, all infants survived and none had CF. These data suggest that comprehensive assessment of pulmonary and nutritional status is useful to predict the maternal outcome of pregnancy in CF. |
