Factores de riesgo de complicaciones obstétricas en el primer trimestre de embarazo

Abstract

Abstract: The general objective of the present study is to describe the risk factors that influence the complications with the highest incidence in the first trimester of pregnancy using a bibliographic review. A search was carried out in databases such as Pubmed, LILACS, and Scielo using search equations for each of them using the Mesh terms: risk factors, complications in pregnancy, and the first trimester in both English and Spanish. Fourteen articles were found for the bibliographic review that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria published in the last five years. Based on the results obtained, it is shown that risk factors have a high prevalence in the presence of complications in the first trimester of pregnancy, such as maternal age, medical history, and previous pregnancies; however, the complication with the highest incidence was determined to be spontaneous abortion. In conclusion, it is estimated that there is a high risk of complications in the first trimester due to the previous risk factors, so it s important to prevent recurrence on time.
