Abstract
This retrospective study was conducted to determine the pregnancy outcomes and identify predictive factors of adverse outcomes in pregnant migrant workers who delivered at Songklanagarind Hospital from January 2002 to December 2012. Two hundred and forty migrant worker pregnancies were enrolled. Pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, pre-term birth and foetal intrauterine growth restriction found were 15, 7.9, 13.7 and 3.7%, respectively. No stillbirth was found. Apgar score was </ = 7 at 1 and 5 min and neonatal intensive care unit admission was found to be 12.1, 4.2 and 11.3%, respectively. Antenatal care place, low haemoglobin level and the presence of maternal underlying disease were significantly related to increased risk of overall adverse maternal outcomes. Only pre-term birth was significantly related to overall adverse neonatal outcomes. © 2015 © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
