The primary objective is to assess in terms of frequency the adverse outcomes (premature birth, maternal-fetal haemorrhage, maternal fetal-neonatal death) of pregnancies of women attending the obstetric-gynaecological emergency department for genital bleeding beyond the 18th week of pregnancy.
The investigators decided to conduct this study because it is important on the one hand to carefully evaluate maternal-fetal outcomes in pregnancies characterised by genital bleeding in the second and third trimesters and on the other hand to evaluate the sonographic diagnostic capacity for identifying the aetiology of these genital bleedings, in order to understand whether the possibility of identifying a specific cause of the bleeding has also improved over time as sonographic techniques have improved. This could then allow management and subsequent obstetrical controls to be adapted in a more accurate and indivudualised manner.
For the purpose of this study, no study-specific visits are planned. Data collected during pregnancy and delivery data for patients who gave birth at our centre will be analysed.
