  2. Hypercoagulability in pregnancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hypercoagulability_in_pregnancy

    A study of more than 200,000 women came to the result that admission to inpatient care during pregnancy was associated with an 18-fold increase in the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during the stay, and a 6-fold increase in risk in the four weeks after discharge, compared with pregnant women who did not require hospitalization.

  3. High-risk pregnancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-risk_pregnancy

    A high-risk pregnancy is a pregnancy where the mother or the fetus has an increased risk of adverse outcomes compared to uncomplicated pregnancies. No concrete guidelines currently exist for distinguishing “high-risk” pregnancies from “low-risk” pregnancies; however, there are certain studied conditions that have been shown to put the mother or fetus at a higher risk of poor outcomes. [1]

  4. Risk score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_score

    It assigns scores to individuals based on risk factors; a higher score reflects higher risk. The score reflects the level of risk in the presence of some risk factors (e.g. risk of mortality or disease in the presence of symptoms or genetic profile, risk financial loss considering credit and financial history, etc.).

  5. Gravidity and parity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravidity_and_parity

    “Gravidity” is an important component of a patient’s reproductive history, as it provides insight into the risk factors that the patient has for pregnancy outcomes, such as risk for gestational diabetes, pre-ecclampsia, spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, and more. [5]

  6. Complications of pregnancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complications_of_pregnancy

    Complications of pregnancy are health problems that are related to, or arise during pregnancy. Complications that occur primarily during childbirth are termed obstetric labor complications, and problems that occur primarily after childbirth are termed puerperal disorders. While some complications improve or are fully resolved after pregnancy ...

  7. Risk matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_matrix

    Risk is the lack of certainty about the outcome of making a particular choice. Statistically, the level of downside risk can be calculated as the product of the probability that harm occurs (e.g., that an accident happens) multiplied by the severity of that harm (i.e., the average amount of harm or more conservatively the maximum credible amount of harm).

  8. Biophysical profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophysical_profile

    A biophysical profile (BPP) is a prenatal ultrasound evaluation of fetal well-being involving a scoring system, [1] with the score being termed Manning's score. [2] It is often done when a non-stress test (NST) is non reactive, or for other obstetrical indications. The "modified biophysical profile" consists of the NST and amniotic fluid index ...

  9. Umbilical cord prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_cord_prolapse

    [1] [5] The greatest risk factors are an abnormal position of the baby within the uterus and a premature or small baby. [2] Other risk factors include a multiple pregnancy, more than one previous delivery, and too much amniotic fluid. [2] [3] Whether medical rupture of the amniotic sac is a risk is controversial.
