ABSTRACT
Introduction
Aim: To estimate pregnancy outcomes associated with endometriosis in Ukraine.
Materials and Methods: We performed the multicentre prospective cohort study during the period from January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2021. The
study included pregnant women aged .18 years hospitalized in 17 hospitals from 15 regions of Ukraine. Logistic regression analysis provided odds ratios (OR)
with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results: Of the 27,558 women, 990 (3,6%) reported a diagnosis of endometriosis before pregnancy. In 990 deliveries, women with endometriosis had a higher
risk of hypertension in pregnancy (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.0-1.3), preeclampsia (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.3-1.5), severe preeclampsia (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.5-2.3), hemorrhage in
pregnancy (OR 2.3, 95% CI 2.0-2.5), placental abruption (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.7-2.3), placenta previa (OR 3.9, 95% CI 3.5-4.3), premature rupture of membranes
(OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.5-1.8), and retained placenta (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.4-6.6). The neonates had increased risks of preterm birth before 28 weeks (OR 3.1, 95% CI 2.7-
3.6), birth before 34 weeks (OR 3.2, 95% CI 2.8-3.6), being small for gestational age (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.4-1.6), being diagnosed with congenital malformations
(OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.3-1.4), and neonatal death (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.4-2.1).
Conclusions: Pregnant women with endometriosis are at elevated risk for serious and important adverse maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes. The magnitude
of these complications calls for more intensive antenatal care of pregnant women with endometriosis.
