| Popis: | It is not known whether schizophrenic women have increased incidence of complications during pregnancy and delivery. Data from the Danish Medical Birth Register were used to compare 2212 births to 1537 schizophrenic women in Denmark with a random sample of all deliveries in Denmark during 1973–1993 (122 931 births to 72 742 women). The schizophrenic women had fewer antenatal care visits. They were at lower risk of pre-eclampsia, but tended to have lower Apgar scores. There were no other differences in the incidence of specific complications such as placenta previa, placental abruption, and abnormal fetal presentation. Schizophrenic women were at increased risk of interventions such as Cesarean section, vaginal assisted delivery, amniotomy, and pharmacological stimulation of labor. There were no important differences between the deliveries to schizophrenic women who gave birth before and after their first admission to a psychiatric department. These results show no evidence that schizophrenic women have a greater frequency of specific obstetric complications than non-schizophrenic women. Nevertheless, they are at increased risk for interventions during delivery. |
