Prevalence, risk factors and adverse perinatal outcomes for Chinese women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy: a large cross-sectional retrospective study

Background Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the most common pregnancy-related liver disorder and may cause adverse perinatal outcomes. This large cross-sectional retrospective study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and related risk factors of ICP and determine the adverse perinatal out...

description Background Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the most common pregnancy-related liver disorder and may cause adverse perinatal outcomes. This large cross-sectional retrospective study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and related risk factors of ICP and determine the adverse perinatal outcomes.Methods This large cohort study from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2019, included 39,742 eligible pregnant women. Data were extracted from the institutional electronic medical record database and analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models to determine the risk factors and adverse perinatal outcomes of ICP.Results The overall prevalence of ICP was 3.81%. It was significantly higher in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive than negative women in all age groups, and in women with pre-pregnancy BMI underweight and obesity aged <25 years and ≥35 years than the other age groups. Multivariate logistic regression models showed an increased risk of ICP associated with maternal age <25 years and ≥35 years, pre-pregnancy underweight and obesity, HBsAg positive status, twin pregnancies, low maternal education, inadequate gestational weight gain, multiparous, in vitro fertilization, caesarean section history and the number of abortions ≥2. The presence of ICP was associated with increased risk of maternal outcomes of caesarean section and preterm birth, and neonatal outcomes of low birth weight and neonatal unit admission in singleton and twin pregnancies.Conclusion This study identified the prevalence, possible risk factors, and associated adverse perinatal outcomes of ICP, which provides useful information for clinicians to identify, counsel, and provide timely management for women at risk.KEY MESSAGESMaternal age <25 and ≥35, pre-pregnancy BMI underweight and obesity, hepatitis B surface antigen-positive status, twin pregnancies, low maternal education, inadequate gestational weight gain, multiparous, in vitro fertilization, caesarean section history and the number of abortions ≥2 are associated with an increased risk of ICP.Further, pregnancies with ICP are associated with an increased risk of maternal outcomes of caesarean section and preterm birth and neonatal outcomes of low birth weight and neonatal unit admission in singleton and twin pregnancies.
