OBSTETRIC AND NEWBORN OUTCOMES AND RISK FACTORS FOR LOW BIRTH WEIGHT AND PRETERM DELIVERY AMONG HIV-INFECTED PREGNANT WOMEN AT THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITALIBAD AN

ABSTRACT

There remains uncertainty about the impact of HIV on pregnancy outcomes and effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy on fetal development. This study describes obstetric outcomes among HIV positive patients at the University College Hospital, Ibadan. HTV positive patients were identified in the birth register. During the 30retrieval. The mean age of the HTV positive patients was 31.66 years (± 4.66); the mean gestational age at delivery was 38.02 weeks (± 2.75) and the mean birth weight 2.85kg (±0.59). There were 35.8% (109) preterm births, 2.9% still births' and 21.5% low birth weights. The regimen most commonly (198, '64.5%) used was a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (NNRTI) based HAART. Preterm births were similar following spontaneous vaginal delivery (31.5%) and elective section (31%) but higher (41.3%) with emergency section (p=0.4).
