Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study are to explore the rate of termination of pregnancy for Down syn- drome in Turkey and to investigate demographic characteristics of the parents that may influence the parents' decision. STUDY DESIGN: The study was conducted in Erciyes University, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Prenatal Diagnosis Unite between 2009-2011. The data of 58 fetuses prenatally diagnosed as Down syndrome were analyzed retrospectively. The effects of socio- demographic features, obstet- ric history and educational level on termination of pregnancy for Down syndrome were compared retro- spectively. RESULTS: The mean maternal age was 33.3±7.2 years. There were no statistically significant correla- tion between the termination rate and any of the socio- demographic features. In case of reproductive history, the termination rate was significantly higher in women who had at least one living child than women who had no child. Contrary to our expectations, termination rate was higher in patients from rural area than in patients from urban center (p <0.05). CONCLUSION: Majority of parents choose to terminate pregnancy when the fetus diagnosed as Down syndrome. Our findings indicate that if parents have reasonable understanding of raising a child, they are most likely to terminate their pregnancy in the case of Down syndrome.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bu çalışmada amacımız Türkiye’de Down sendromu tanısı alan gebeliklerde, gebelik terminasyonu oranlarını belirleyip hastaların bu kararlarına sosyodemografik etmenlerin etkisini ortaya koymaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışma 2009-2011 yılları arasında Erciyes Üniversitesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum bölümü prenatal tanı ünitesinde yapıldı. Prenatal tanıda Down sendromu tanısı alan 58 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Sosyo-demografik etkenler, obstetrik hikaye ve eğitim düzeyinin Down sendromu için gebelik terminasyonu üzerine olan etkisi retrospektif olarak incelendi. grafik etkenler ile gebelik terminasyonu arasında istatistiksel anlamlı farklılıklar izlenmedi. Obstetrik öyküye bakıldığında en az bir çocuk sahibi olanlarda terminasyonu kabul etme oranı çocuğu olmayanlara oranla daha yüksek bulundu. Tahmin le rimizin aksine kırsal alanda yaşayanlarda terminasyon kabul etme oranları şehir merkezlerinden daha yüksek olarak bulundu. SONUÇ: Ailelerin çoğu bebekleri Down sendromu tanısı aldığında gebelik terminasyonunu kabul etmektedir. Bizim bulgularımızın da desteklediği üzere aileler çocuk yetiştirmenin zorluklarını doğru bir şekilde kavradıklarında Down sendromu tanısı alan gebeliklerini sonlandırma eğiliminde olmaktadır.
