BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Jul 23, 2020
Ashcroft A, et al. - This population‐based descriptive study was undertaken to estimate the incidence of cystic fibrosis in pregnancy, as well as to determine obstetric and neonatal outcomes, by utilizing the methodology of the UK Obstetric Surveillance System. Participants were all pregnant women with cystic fibrosis who booked for antenatal care in a UK obstetric unit between March 2015 and February 2017. In total, 71 pregnancies were reported during a two‐year span. No maternal deaths occurred. Findings revealed generally good pregnancy outcomes of women with cystic fibrosis. Even in those women with FEV1 < 60% predicted, successful pregnancy was achievable, however, a higher likelihood of preterm delivery and a smaller baby was noted in such women.
