Popis: | Objectives To analyse the incidence, aetiology and management of live born cases of hydrops fetalis in a Regional Perinatal Centre. Methods We reviewed 35 cases of hydrops delivered over a six year period. Results Non-immune hydrops accounted for 80% of the cases and the majority of babies required Level 1 intensive care. The mortality rate was 40%. Conclusion The pattern of hydrops is changing. Most of these babies now have non-immune hydrops and approximately two thirds are surviving. |
