In Saudi Arabia, road traffic crashes are becoming a serious public health problem and there are no recent, large-scale, published reports discussing maternal and fetal injuries. We aimed to explore the predictors of fetal death/abortion after maternal trauma. A retrospective case-control study was performed exploring cases of maternal trauma. The study group included 118 women with pregnancy loss while 308 women without loss represented the control group. All data were compared using univariate analysis followed by multivariate regression analysis. Only 3 predictors were associated with significant effect on pregnancy loss after trauma (P < 0.05): second trimester of pregnancy (OR 2.77, 95% CI: 1.66-4.63, placental abruption (OR 3.69, 95% CI: 2.01-6.79) and severe injury score (OR 6.78, 95% CI: 4.04-11.37). Facteurs prédictifs des décès foetaux après un traumatisme chez des femmes saoudiennes enceintes RÉSUMÉ En Arabie saoudite, les accidents de la circulation deviennent un problème de santé publique majeur. Toutefois, aucun rapport de grande envergure n'a été récemment publié sur les traumatismes maternels et foetaux. Nous avions pour objectif de rechercher les facteurs prédictifs des décès foetaux ou des avortements après un traumatisme maternel. Une étude cas-témoin rétrospective a été menée pour rechercher des cas de traumatismes maternels. Le groupe de l'étude comprenait 118 femmes ayant eu une fausse couche alors que le groupe témoin était composé de 308 femmes dont le foetus avait survécu. Toutes les données ont été comparées à l'aide d'une analyse univariée suivie d'une analyse de régression multivariée. Seuls trois facteurs prédictifs ont été associés à un effet important pour la fausse couche suite à un traumatisme (P < 0,05) : le deuxième trimestre de grossesse (O.R. 2,77 ; IC à 95 % : 1,66-4,63) ; un hématome rétroplacentaire (O.R. 3,69 ; IC à 95 % : 2,01-6,79) et le score de gravité du traumatisme (O.R. 6,78 ; IC à 95 % : 4,04-11,37).

“…In the eastern province of Saudi Arabia, Al Ahsa, it was reported that the average daily number of accidents was [14][15][16][17][18]. The accident-injury rate and accident-death rate per 100 accidents was 26.2 and 2.6 respectively [10].…”

“…This apparent increase may be a result of a truly increased incidence, or it may be a result of increased awareness, greater health care use, and better detection. Although most authors report an incidence of 10-15%, a large series reported by Poole et al [8] found an incidence of 31.5%. Interpersonal violence against pregnant women appears to worsen as the pregnancy progresses through the second and third trimesters [79].…”

“…MVAs were reported to occur with equal frequency throughout pregnancy. Domestic violence in pregnancy has found recently attention in several contributions to the scientiWc and lay literature [8][9][10]. Emergency department records suggest that 22-35% of women presenting with any complaint have in fact injuries related to physical abuse [11].…”

“…Emergency department records suggest that 22-35% of women presenting with any complaint have in fact injuries related to physical abuse [11]. Some series report concerning incidence rates of domestic physical abuse of 31.5% during pregnancy [8]. These numbers, together with an increased public awareness, have let to the introduction of screening measures for domestic violence (questionnaires, midwifery training) into the antenatal care of US and UK centers [12,13].…”
