PREVENTION AND OPTIMIZATION OF PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR PLACENTAL INSUFFICIENCY IN PREGNANT WOMEN AT RISK OF PRETERM DELIVERY
Abstract
This dissertation addresses the critical challenge of preventing placental insufficiency in pregnant women at risk of preterm delivery, with a specific focus on how deficiencies in placental function can result in significant adverse outcomes for both mothers and infants. Through a comprehensive analysis of maternal health indicators, evaluations of placental function, and an assessment of current preventive strategies, the study reveals that early identification of at-risk populations and targeted interventions can significantly enhance placental health, thereby reducing the incidence of preterm births and their associated complications. Key findings indicate that integrative approaches, including lifestyle modifications, medical intervention, and close monitoring, not only optimize placental function but also improve maternal and fetal health outcomes. The significance of these results lies in their potential to inform clinical guidelines and healthcare policies, providing healthcare professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management of at-risk pregnancies. Furthermore, this research underscores the urgent need for a paradigm shift in prenatal care, advocating for a more proactive approach to maternal health that prioritizes the prevention of placental insufficiency and its implications. By enhancing understanding and practices surrounding placental health in obstetric care, this study aims to contribute to improved pregnancy outcomes, ultimately benefiting public health by reducing the burden of preterm birth and its long-term effects on families and healthcare systems.References
