Original Article Hyperemesis Incidence in Planned versus Unplanned Pregnancy

Objective: We evaluated the incidence of hyperemesis between planned and unplanned pregnancy. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted among 100 women with planned pregnancies and 100 women with unplanned pregnancies. Participants completed a questionnaire to determine the presence of vomiting. If pregnant women had severe vomiting (>3 times per day), urinary investigation was performed; at least one positive ketonuria was considered as hyperemesis. Results: There was a significant difference between planned and unplanned pregnancy in terms of the incidence of hyperemesis (p=0.0001). Women with unplanned pregnancies had a more than 18-fold increased risk of hyperemesis (OR=18.88; %95 CI, 8.84-40.31) compared to women with planned pregnancies. Conclusion: Healthy women may be able to improve their manage-ment of hyperemesis during pregnancy if they plan their pregnan-cies. Amaç: Planlı ve plansız gebelikler arasındaki hiperemezis insidansı-nın farkını araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma planlayarak gebe kalmış 100 ve plan-lamadan gebe kalmış 100 hastada prospektif olarak yapıldı. Gebeler kusmanın olup olmadığı yönünden sorgulandı. Günde üç defadan fazla kusma tarif eden hastalara tam idrar tetkiki yapıldı. İdrar tetki-kinde en az 1 pozitif keton cisim tespit edilen hastalar ” hipereme-zis ” olarak adlandırıldı. Bulgular: Planlı ve plansız gebelikler arasında hiperemezis insi-dansı açısından önemli fark bulundu (p=0,0001). Planlanmamı
