| description | INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the etiologic factors and pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women who applied to our antenatal outpatient clinics with the complaint of pruritus. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted to examine the age, gestational weeks, gravidity, parity, comorbidities, laboratory test results and obstetric outcomes of pregnant women who applied with the complaint of pruritus to the antenatal follow-up outpatient clinics of Ankara City Hospital between 01.01.2020 and 31.12.2020. RESULTS: Medical records of 223 pregnant women who applied to our antenatal outpatient clinic with pruritus were evaluated, and the 181 pregnant with complete accessible data were enrolled in this study. The most common clinical diagnosis was pregnancy-specific dermatoses with a rate of 47.51% (n=86), and a specific diagnosis could not be determined in 80 pregnant women (44.19 %). Intrahepatic cholestasis (IHC) was found to be the most frequent diagnosis among the pregnancy-specific dermatoses with a percent of 25.41 (n=46). The incidence of IHC among specific dermatoses diagnosed ≥ 28 weeks of pregnancy was 30.76 %, and the most common dermatosis < 28 weeks was the atopic eruption of pregnancy (36.84 %). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Pruritus is a common condition in pregnancy; considering the frequency, especially in the third trimester, IHC should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis to prevent maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. |
