Pregnancy outcomes of women with inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract

Background:In ammatory bowel diseases (IBD) generally affect women of childbearing age. In this study we investigated the effects of IBD on pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes and on newborns by comparing with a healthy control group.Methods: Data on the productive history were collected both in the question-and-answer format, and also from hospital records. The control group was made up of healthy volunteers of the same age group, who were living in the same region and who had a similar sociocultural structure. Control group data were also collected by asking questions on reproductive history in the question-and-answer format, and also from the obstetrical medical records.
