| Asthma is a common incident during pregnancy. Exacerbation during pregnancy constitutes for vital and challenging medical
problem and may result in poor fetomaternal outcomes. Until now, there are no research comparing the fetomaternal outcomes
in antenatal women with asthma .Exacerbation along with non-asthma antenatal women (control group) of parallel age and
period of gestation. Therefore, the aim of the study Prevalence and risk factors of asthma aggravation, during antenatal
women. This is a retrospective observational comparative study. During the study period, total number of deliveries was 700.
Women who were admitted with the diagnosis of exacerbation of asthma during pregnancy between 1st Jan 2019 to 31st June
were included in the study. These cases were compared with random selection of controls who were admitted in the same
duration of time for the delivery without asthma after matching maternal age and period of gestation. Ethical clearance was
obtained before the study. Fetomaternal outcomes were compared between women with exacerbation of asthma and nonasthma. The prevalence of asthma during pregnancy was 6 % among the member. The majority of allergens in asthmatic
group were pollen, stress, and climate. It was a significant relationship between age, education and place of living in asthmatic
and non-asthmatic group. There was a considerable link involving asthma symptoms among the two groups (p = 0.001). In
addition, a significant relationship was found between asthma and other allergic diseases as well as eczema, allergy, rhinitis,
and wheeze in asthmatic women, with a major relationship between wheeze and coughing and allergy. Exacerbation of asthma
during antenatal women may effect in reduced fetomaternal outcome. Hence, additional investigate is required to appreciate
the occurrence of asthma in pregnancy and its consequencesddd |
