Genesis of the Great Obstetric Syndromes
摘要
In the last decade, the concept of “great obstetrical syndromes” (GOS) has been proposed in reference to the most important disorders, which can occur in pregnancy with possible adverse maternal-fetal-neonatal outcomes. This term describes the clinical heterogeneity associated with abnormal vascular adaptation of the maternal spiral arteries during the endovascular trophoblast invasion process. These syndromes include: gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, premature preterm rupture of membranes (P-PROM), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and fetal death.
