Asthma is a common incident during pregnancy. Exacerbation during pregnancy constitutes for vital and challenging
medical problem and may result in poor fetomaternal outcomes. Until now, there are no research comparing the
fetomaternal outcomes in antenatal women with asthma .Exacerbation along with non-asthma antenatal women (control
group) of parallel age and period of gestation. Therefore, the aim of the study Prevalence and risk factors of asthma
aggravation, during antenatal women. This is a retrospective observational comparative study. During the study period,
total number of deliveries was 700. Women who were admitted with the diagnosis of exacerbation of asthma during
pregnancy were included in the study. These cases were compared with random selection of controls who were admitted in
the same duration of time for the delivery without asthma after matching maternal age and period of gestation. Ethical
clearance was obtained before the study. Fetomaternal outcomes were compared between women with exacerbation of
asthma and non-asthma.The prevalence of asthma during pregnancy was 6 % among the member. The majority of allergens
in asthmatic group were pollen, stress, and climate. It was a significant relationship between age, education and place of
living in asthmatic and non-asthmatic group. There was a considerable link involving asthma symptoms among the two
groups (p = 0.001). In addition, a significant relationship was found between asthma and other allergic diseases as well as
eczema, allergy, rhinitis, and wheeze in asthmatic women, with a major relationship between wheeze and coughing and
allergy. Exacerbation of asthma during antenatal women may effect in reduced fetomaternal outcome. Hence, additional
investigate is required to appreciate the occurrence of asthma in pregnancy and its consequencesddd |
