Tool for the prevention of maternal-fetal risk

Abstract

The outcome of the obstetric event (fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality) is highly related to maternal variables such as: age, gestational age, drug use/smoking, preeclampsia, diabetes, previous cesarean section, fetal variables such as: fetal weight, amniotic fluid index, degree of placental maturity, number of fetuses. The ultimate goal of this research is to anticipate the outcome of the obstetric event through statistical analysis of the variables. A judgement has been made with a panel of experts, they analyzed whether the phenomena of the study influence the final maternal-fetal health outcome. The evaluation of the outcome has been carried out with two different methods of content validity indicators (CVI) and Kendall’s relevance analysis, resulting in the conclusion that the proposed variables are relevant for predicting maternal-fetal risk
