El abdomen agudo en el embarazo aumenta el riesgo de complicaciones obstétricas sin influir en el pronóstico materno-fetal

A total incidence of 0.3% was calculated, with the highest incidence of non-obstetric acute abdomen in the second trimester (29.6%). The most common aetiologies were acute appendicitis (39.8%), complicated biliary disease (28.3%) and non-complicated biliary disease (25.7%). Medical treatment was given to 51.3% of the patients, with the remaining 48.7% requiring surgical intervention. The risk of developing obstetric adverse events was greater in the acute abdomen group than in the control group, with a 1.9 odds ratio. (CI: 1.04-3.8; p < 0.3). However, no significant difference was found in pregnancy outcomes. This result can be explained in part by an effective response from the medical team and hospital personnel. Nevertheless, if future studies with a larger sample population observe a negative impact on pregnancy outcomes, the implementation of highly effective diagnostic and therapeutic measures for non-obstetric acute abdomen during pregnancy could be warranted.
