Objective: To study the characteristics of newborns’ adaptation, neonatal complications and outcomes depending on the time of delivery in patients with and without pathological placental invasion.
Materials and methods: The study comprised 69 birth and neonatal records to evaluate the early neonatal period in terms of perioperative management, blood loss volume, and neonatal intensive care, depending on the gestational age and indications for delivery: 43 cases with placenta increta and 26 cases without this pathology. Statistical analysis was based on Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and the Mann–Whitney test for quantitative variables.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the subgroups of patients with placenta ingrowth depending on the gestational age for the parameters studied: Apgar score at 1, 5, and 10 minutes; need for and duration of respiratory therapy; duration of antibacterial therapy; length of stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (p>0.05).
Infants born to mothers with pathological placental invasion are substantially more likely to develop severe respiratory distress syndrome, requiring mechanical ventilation and surfactant administration. No statistically significant differences in the use of antibacterial therapy were found between the study groups.
Conclusion: The delivery time in patients with placenta ingrowth depends on maternal safety management. Early elective delivery at 34 weeks of gestation (if possible), is justified, given the nature of life-threatening complications for both mother and fetus that occur with emergency delivery.
