Abstract

Objective. To compare the efficiency of surgical and medical management tactics for RAPS-complicated pregnancy. Subjects and methods. Perinatal outcomes were retrospectively analyzed in 47patients with multiple pregnancy complicated by RAPS who had been examined and treated at the Academician V.I. Kulakov National Medical Research Center of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology, Ministry of Health of Russia, in 2010 to 2017. According to the proposed pregnancy management tactics, the patients were divided into two groups: 1) 17 patients who had undergone medical pregnancy management; 2) 28 pregnant women who had intrauterine treatment. According to the type of an operation performed, Group 2 was divided into two Subgroups A and B. The findings were processed using descriptive statistical methods. Results. In Group 1 including patients undergoing medical management tactics, an unfavorable outcome was observed in 9 (52.9%) cases mainly due to the progression of pump fetal cardiomyopathy and polyhydramnios. The mean delivery time in this group was 32.3 ± 5.4 weeks. A favorable outcome was observed in 78.6% of cases in Group 2, with 77.3 and 83.3% in Subgroup A and B, respectively. The mean delivery time in Group 2 was 34.5+3.1 weeks. Conclusion. The rate of a favorable RAPS-complicated pregnancy outcome was significantly higher in the intrauterine treatment group than that in the medical management tactics group (78.6 and 47.1%, respectively; P = 0.0023).
