High Risk Pregnancies More Common
If you thought that high-risk
pregnancies were uncommon in this
day and age, think again. They are a
lot more common than most people
believe.
A recent study conducted by ob
stetricians from Wayne State Uni
versity’s School of Medicine dis
covered that only slighUy less than
31 percent of all pregnancies in
Southeastern Michigan in 1982 could
be classified as routine, without any
complications. Another 36 percent
were classified as routine, with
minor complications.
The study surveyed the results of
65.437 obstetrical patients delivered
in Southeastern Michigan during
1982 and classified each patient by
the level of obstetrical risk.
Complications were present which
required less than one week of
additional hospitalization in 27.7 per
cent of the patients studied, while 5.8
percent had complications which re
quired one or more weeks of ad
ditional hospitalization, possibly on
multiple occasions.
Hutzel Hospital, Michigan’s lead
ing maternity center with nearly
6.500 deliveries in 1984, has been
specializing in obstetrical and gyne
cologic services for over 115 years.
