“…A large epidemiological study by Dunning et al (2003) reported that pregnant women fall at a similar rate (27%) to women over the age of 70 years (28%). Falls are the leading cause of emergency department hospital admissions in pregnancy (Dunning et al, 2003) with accidental falls being the reason behind 17-39% of all trauma related emergency room visits or hospital admissions to pregnant women (Connolly et al, 1997;Dyer and Barclay, 1962;Greenblatt et al, 1997;Johnson and Oakley, 1991;Neufeld et al, 1987;Rothenberger et al, 1978;Weiss, 1999). When Dunning et al (2003) surveyed employed women who fell during their pregnancies, 13.1% stated that they fell at work, 76.4% fell elsewhere, and 10.6% fell at work and elsewhere.…”

“…Accidental falls cause 17-39% of all trauma during pregnancy associated with emergency department visits and hospital admissions [Johnson and Oakley, 1991;Neufeld et al, 1987;Connolly et al, 1997;Weiss, 1999;Williams et al, 1990;Dyer and Barclay, 1962;Rothenberger et al, 1978;Greenblatt et al, 1997]. Trauma (including falls) during pregnancy is associated with injuries to the mother such as fractures, sprains/strains, head injury, rupture of the internal organs, placental separation, rupture of the uterus and membranes, and occasionally maternal or fetal death [Weiss et al, 2001;Pearlman et al, 1990a,b;Curet et al, 2000;Dyer and Barclay, 1962;Fildes et al, 1992;Crosby, 1983;Buchsbaum, 1968].…”

“…Gebelikte travmayı inceleyen araştırmalarda, majör travmalarda en sık nedenin trafik kazaları, minör travmalarda ise düşme-nin olduğu bildirilmektedir. Hastanelerin Acil polikliniğine düşme şikayeti ile gelen olgular, tüm travma olgularının % 17-39'unu kapsamaktadır [3,[8][9][10]. Bizim çalışmamızda da olguların yarı-sından fazlasını düşme şikayeti olan gebeler oluşturmaktaydı.…”

ÖzetAmaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı gebelikte minör travma sıklığının, türlerinin ve sonuçlarının araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Nisan 2011-Ekim 2012 tarihleri arasında Bursa Şevket Yılmaz Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Acil Polikliniğine başvuran 33000 hasta kaydı incelenerek, minör travma şikayeti bulunan 173 gebe kadın çalışma kapsamına alındı. Bulgular: Gebelikte minör travma nedeni ile acil polikliniğe başvurma sıklığı % 0.5 olarak saptandı. Olguların yaş ortalaması 26.8 ± 5.4 idi. En sık travma şekli düşme (% 54.9) olarak belirlendi. Hastaneye başvuru sırasında ortalama gebelik haftası 21.6 ± 9.2 ve olguların % 51'i ikinci trimesterdeydi. Hastaların % 83.2'sinin başvuru sırasında, travma öyküsü haricinde ek şikayeti yoktu. Geri kalan grupta en sık şikayet karın ağrısı idi (%13.3). Başvuru sırasında yapılan ultrasonografilerde 1 olguda intrauterin fetal kayıp tespit edildi. Hastaların hospitalizasyon oranı % 5.2 olarak gerçekleşti. Minör travma olgularının hiçbirisinde travma sonrası erken dönemde (1 hafta içerisinde) abortus, fetal kayıp ya da preterm doğum meydana gelmedi. Tartışma: Gebelikteki minör travma sonuçları genel olarak olumlu olduğundan, anormal bulguları olmayan bu tür olgularda ayrıntılı inceleme gerekli değildir. Anahtar KelimelerTravma; Gebelik Abstract Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence, types and the outcomes of trauma in pregnancy. Material and Method: The medical reports of 33000 patients, who were admitted to the emergency outpatient clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Bursa Şevket Yılmaz Research and Education Hospital between April 2011 and October 2012, were analyzed and 173 pregnant women with minor trauma were included in the study. Results: The incidence of admittance for minor trauma during pregnancy was 0.5 %. The mean age of the cases was 26.8 ± 5.4. The most common type of trauma was found as the falling (54.9 %). The mean gestational age was 21.6 ± 9.2 weeks and 51 % of the cases were in the second trimester at the time of admission. At the time of admission, 83 % of patients had no other complaints except trauma. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom among the rest of the group (13.3 %). One fetal death was determined by ultrasonography at the time of admittance. The hospitalization rate was 5.2 %. There were no preterm delivery or fetal death during the early period after the trauma (1 week). Discussion: As the outcomes of minor trauma in pregnancy are favorable generally, extensive evaluation is unnecessary in those cases without abnormal signs.
