Abstract

CONTEXT: Women with Turner syndrome (TS) have high risk of cardiovascular complications and hypertensive disorders. Few studies have analyzed obstetric outcome in women with TS. OBJECTIVE: This study compared obstetric outcome in women with TS karyotype with women in the general population. DESIGN: The Swedish Genetic Turner Register was cross-linked with the Swedish Medical Birth Register between 1973 and 2007. Obstetric outcome in singletons was compared with a reference group of 56,000 women from the general population. Obstetric outcome in twins was described separately. RESULTS: A total of 202 singletons and three sets of twins were born to 115 women with a TS karyotype that was unknown in 52% at time of pregnancy. At first delivery, TS women of singletons were older than controls (median 30 vs. 26 yr, P < 0.0001). Preeclampsia occurred in 6.3 vs. 3.0% (P = 0.07). Aortic dissection occurred in one woman. Compared with the general population, the gestational age was shorter in children born by TS women (-6.4 d, P = 0.0067), and median birth weight was lower (-208 g, P = 0.0012), but sd scores for weight and length at birth were similar. The cesarean section rate was 35.6% in TS women and 11.8% in controls (P < 0.0001). There was no difference in birth defects in children of TS women as compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS: Obstetric outcomes in women with a TS karyotype were mostly favorable. Singletons of TS women had shorter gestational age, but similar size at birth, adjusted for gestational age and sex. Birth defects did not differ between TS and controls.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
