Abstract

Objective: To compare obstetric and perinatal outcomes of Syrian refugee pregnants and Turkish counterparts who gave birth at a tertiary center inİstanbul.Materials and Methods: A retrospective study including the birth records of 704 Syrian refugees and 744 Turkish pregnant women between January2016 and May 2017 were analyzed. Demographic data, obstetric and neonatal outcomes were compared. The primary aims of this study were to evaluatethe pregnancy outcomes and cesarean rates between the groups. The secondary outcomes were the use of antenatal vitamin supplementation, hemoglobinhematocritvalues, and maternal complications.Results: Our results showed that the use of folic acid and iron supplementation rates during pregnancy were similar between the groups (folic acidsupplementation 8.1% vs 6.5%, p=0.264; iron supplementation 20.7% vs 19.6%, p=0.125; respectively for Turkish women and Syrian refugees). Cesareanrates were significantly higher for Turkish patients than in Syrian refugees (42.7% vs 32.7%; p

Özet

Amaç: İstanbul’da tersiyer bir merkezde doğum yapan Suriyeli mülteci gebeler ile Türk gebelerin obstetrik ve perinatal sonuçlarının karşılaştırılması. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2016 ve Mayıs 2017 tarihleri arasında doğum yapan 704 Suriyeli mülteci ve 744 Türk gebenin doğum kayıtları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Demografik data, obstetrik ve neonatal sonuçlar karşılaştırıldı. Primer hedefler gruplar arasında gebelik sonuçlarının ve sezaryen oranlarının değerlendirilmesi idi. Sekonder hedefler antenatal vitamin desteği kullanımı, hemoglobin-hematokrit sonuçları ve maternal komplikasyonların değerlendirilmesi idi. Bulgular: Antenatal dönemde folik asit ve demir desteği kullanım oranlarını benzer olarak bulduk (Folik asit kullanımı 8,1% vs 6,5%, p=0,264; demir kullanımı 20,7% vs 19,6%, p=0,125; Türk ve Suriyeli gebeler için sırasıyla). Sezaryenla doğum oranı Türk hastalarda Suriye gebelere göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksekti (42,7% vs 32,7%; p
