The objective of this work was to study the maternal and perinatal prognosis of pregnancies in women with sickle cell disease at CHUD-Borgou/Alibori from 2019 to 2023. Patients and Methods: This was a case-control study with a retrospective collection of data from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2023. It covered sickle cell and non-sickle cell women and their neonates who having given birth at the maternity ward of CHUD-Borgou/Alibori. Results: The frequency of pregnant women with sickle cell disease was 1.36% (153/11212). The average age of the pregnant women with sickle cell disease was 26.77 years ± 5.03. Vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) was the main complication observed in pregnant women with sickle cell disease during pregnancy (26%). Regarding the complications common to the 2 groups of pregnant women, urinary tract infections (18.1%), severe anemia (22.8%), and severe malaria (26.8%) were more reported in sickle cell patients with a statistically significant difference (p-value = 0.000). Delivery was premature in 61.9% of pregnant women with sickle cell disease compared to 18.5% in pregnant women without sickle cell disease, with a significant difference (p-value = 0.000). The main route of delivery among patients with sickle cell disease was cesarean section (94.4%), while it was vaginal delivery (50.4%) among non-sickle cell pregnant women. VOC (4.8%), severe anemia (39.7%), and acute pulmonary edema (2.4%) were the main complications reported among sickle cell pregnant women in the immediate postpartum period with a significant difference (p-value = 0.000). Three cases of maternal death (2.4%) were recorded in pregnant women with sickle cell disease. The neonatal pathologies identified in the neonates of pregnant women with and without sickle cell disease were mainly neonatal bacterial infection (20.0% vs. 17.2%), hypotrophy (17.0% vs. 5.7%), prematurity (14.8% vs. 7.3%) with a significant difference (p-value = 0.000). The perinatal mortality rate was 57.14‰ in sickle cell women compared to 30‰ with a significant difference (p-value = 0.000). Conclusion: Pregnancy in women with sickle cell disease carries a high risk of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Information, awareness raising among populations and the adaptation of prenatal care are essential.展开更多
